Blonde's incredible success has been cemented in the musical canon since Frank Ocean released it back in 2016.
Upon its initial release in 2016, Frank Ocean’s Blonde vinyl sold out within 24 hours, and fans have been crying out for its re-stock ever since.
At the time, Ocean's album was incredibly successful, receiving much acclaim and earning a spot on Rolling Stone’s '500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Once again, the album, which went on sale alongside other merchandise like t-shirts and posters, has sold out incredibly quickly.
The album's initial vinyl release, which was sold as part of an exclusive Black Friday sale in 2016, also saw delays in shipping, increasing fan's frustration at their difficulty to obtain the record.
Similar delays have been reported by fans when trying to obtain other albums such as Endless.
Having only released several tracks since Blonde, including 'Provider,' 'DHL' and 'In My Room,' fans who didn't get a chance to grab the drop this time around will be left disappointed, awaiting the R&B star's next release.

Ocean is due to headline Coachella in 2023, following its 2020 cancellation.
Fans have been eager to hear new material from the maverick artist since Blonde dropped in 2016. He also released a double A-side featuring ‘Dear April’ and ‘Cayendo' in 2021.
New music might be on the way from Ocean, as it was reported in September last year that he was “shopping” his third album to various labels. He signed a deal with Warner Chappel Music publishing in 2019 but has remained independent since he left Def Jam after iconically releasing Endless a day before Blonde dropped.
