Clipse — Let God Sort Em Out: Every Vinyl Edition Compared

Pusha T and Malice’s first album together since 2009, produced end to end by Pharrell, arrived as a full-blown vinyl event — which in 2025 means variants. Standard sleeve, store exclusives, an artist edition with cover art by the sculptor Josh Sperling, per-customer purchase caps, the works.

A year on, the marketplace has quietly sorted out which of those editions people actually chase and which ones were simply a different piece of cardboard. Here’s where they’ve landed.

Pressing	Lowest listed	Copies for sale	Own / Want
2025 US special edition cheapest	$18.00	22	1,656 / 1800.11×
2025 worldwide standard LP	$23.00	36	3,244 / 9760.30×
2025 US repress	$25.00	47	2,585 / 3010.12×
2025 US limited edition	$30.00	15	1,461 / 3320.23×
2025 US limited edition (alternate)	$32.98	17	1,922 / 8360.43×
2025 US store edition	$50.00	31	2,451 / 1,2660.52×

Lowest listed price is the cheapest copy on the Discogs marketplace at the time shown, before shipping, and across all sleeve and media conditions — treat it as a floor, not a going rate. “Own / Want” is how many collectors have the pressing in their collection versus how many have it on their wantlist; a ratio above 1 means demand outruns supply.

Reading the spread

The cheapest copy is a “special edition.” That’s the whole lesson of modern variant releases in one row. Eighteen dollars gets you a pressing that 1,656 collectors own and only 180 want — a want ratio of about 0.11, meaning roughly nine owners for every person still looking. Whatever made it special did not make it scarce.

The store edition is the one with heat. At the top of the table sits a pressing with 1,266 wants against 2,452 owners — comfortably the strongest demand ratio in the group, and roughly two and a half times the price of the cheapest. That’s a genuine premium: enough people are still hunting it that sellers can hold their asking price.

Everything in the middle is noise. The standard LP, the repress, and the two limited editions all sit within about ten dollars of each other with unremarkable want ratios. If you’re buying to listen, buy whichever of those is cheapest in the condition you want. The music is identical on all six.

The variant question, honestly

The record industry has worked out that a certain kind of buyer will purchase the same album three times for three sleeves, and hip-hop releases now ship accordingly. There’s nothing wrong with wanting the Sperling artwork because you like the artwork — that’s a legitimate reason to spend money, and it’s the reason most likely to still feel good in five years.

What doesn’t hold up is buying a variant as an investment because the store page said “limited.” Of the six pressings here, exactly one has demand outrunning supply, and it wasn’t predictable from the marketing. The reliable move is the one that’s always been reliable: buy the pressing you want to own, at the lowest price a copy in acceptable condition is listed at, and let the speculation happen to someone else.
