The Charli XCX Brat & It’s The Same But There’s Three More Songs So… vinyl is the deluxe edition of one of the most talked-about pop records in recent memory, pressed on white double vinyl with the kind of physical packaging that earns its place in a collection before you even drop the needle.
Who Is Charli XCX
Charli XCX is a British artist who built her reputation by pushing pop music into corners most labels would never sanction. She surfaced online posting experimental material long before that approach had a name, and her 2012 collaboration with Icona Pop on “I Love It” gave her a mainstream foothold she promptly used to do whatever she wanted. The records that followed dismantled conventional ideas about structure, production, and what a pop vocal is even supposed to do. She has spent years operating at the forward edge of the genre, working with producers and collaborators who share the same refusal to settle, and BRAT was the record that brought that reputation to its widest audience yet.
About the Charli XCX Brat & It’s The Same But There’s Three More Songs So… Vinyl
This is the deluxe version of BRAT, officially titled “Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not,” released on Atlantic Records with catalog number A 8603983. The format is a white double vinyl LP, and the presentation is deliberate and detailed: a gatefold sleeve with both inner and outer die-cut holes, and a printed inner paper sleeve. The die-cut work on the outer packaging is the kind of design decision that shows real thought about how the object looks on a shelf and in your hands. White vinyl pressings of this profile tend to move, and the deluxe configuration, with its additional tracks beyond the standard BRAT running order, makes this the more complete physical document of where the album ended up.
Why This Pressing
Collectors come to the deluxe for the tracks, but they stay for the format. Double white vinyl in a die-cut gatefold is not a standard configuration, and Atlantic have put genuine effort into making this a physical object worth owning rather than a simple expansion of the base release. The printed inner sleeves add another layer of care to the package. If you already have the original BRAT pressing, this is not a duplicate. It is a different artifact with a different tracklist and a noticeably more involved physical presentation. If this is your entry point into Charli XCX on vinyl, it is the fuller version of a record that generated real conversation in 2024, presented in a format that respects the music and the listener both.
