I do not think any physical releases of TLOP will come out until the end of the year, if ever. That's a natural conclusion to the whole thing. Make it a year-long fuckaround and drop a cd just in time for Kanye to be the first news story of 2017.
Though he seems to be sticking to his guns about not releasing the album on CD ever, I've heard some rumblings from Def Jam on the matter.
Part of the reason for the added track might be to decrease demand for bootleg vinyl prints like the ones that showed up on Record Store Day.
I don't know. I don't really care either. More Kanye music, as long as it's bad as hell, is never going to upset me. And in this era of playlists and streaming service bullshit, we — the listeners — have more control over what constitutes an "album" in practice than ever before.
