Beyonce reveals vinyl formats, pricing for 'B'Day' 20th anniversary reissue

Beyonce has just revealed further details behind the physical release of her 20th anniversary edition of B’Day, including vinyl formats, pricing, and packaged extras, ahead of the album’s expanded rerelease on September 4. 

The reissue of B’Day will be available as a four-LP deluxe set that’s pressed on 180-gram “Bayou Blue” vinyl, priced at $149.98. That version includes a 60-page commemorative booklet and two collectible prints, alongside an extended mix of “Get Me Bodied.” A limited two-LP edition and a CD package will also be offered for fans looking for a smaller physical release. 

The reissue will also include Spanish-language recordings of tracks “Irreemplazable” (the Spanish version of “Irreplaceable)” alongside “Amor Gitano,” “Listen (Oye),” “Beautiful Liar (Bello Embustero),” and “Get Me Bodied (Mueve el Cuerpo).” 

B’Day has been reissued before – less than eight months after its original 2006 release, an expanded two-disc deluxe edition arrived featuring a duet with Shakira on “Beautiful Liar” and a duet with Alejandro Fernandez on “Amor Gitano,” alongside a Spanish-language version of “Listen,” “Irreplacable,” and “Beautiful Liar. The release was also accompanied by the B’Day Anthology Video Album, a collection of 13 videos directed by Jake Nava, Sophie Muller, Diane Martel, MElina Matsoukas, Anthony Mandler, and of course, Beyonce herself. 

The new edition also folds in the “Morning Dew (Donk) Remix Pack,” a four-song release that arrived earlier this month featuring new verses from Jay-Z, an acoustic version of the track, and a separate remix also featuring Jay-Z. The reissue’s additional rarities include “Can I Watch You,” a track not previously highlighted among the collection’s B-sides. 

The 20th anniversary of B'Day is out September 4. Preorder here.
