Beyoncé album is missing tracks on vinyl, fans say
By Mark Savage
Fans who pre-ordered BeyoncĂ©’s latest album on vinyl are reporting that five of its tracks have gone missing.
Cowboy Carter was released to critical acclaim on Friday, with reviews calling it a “masterpiece” and a “slick and starry Western epic”.
But some of the best-received songs, including Ya Ya and Spaghetti, are reportedly not present on the vinyl edition.
The BBC has contacted BeyoncĂ©’s representatives for comment.
“I’m so sad,” wrote one fan on Reddit, who would have paid ÂŁ32 to pre-order the copy album from BeyoncĂ©’s website.
“It’s such a shame, because Ya Ya is up there with my top five favourite songs” on the album, said vinyl collectors Matt and Juan on TikTok.
The songs and interludes reported missing are: Spaghetti, Flamenco, The Linda Martell Show, Ya Ya and Oh Louisiana.
It is not clear whether all vinyl copies are affected. Fans have also reported that CD copies are missing four tracks.
