Olivia Rodrigo fans who have been eagerly waiting to get their hands on all of her bonus tracks are in for a treat. Up until now, these tracks were only available on limited vinyl editions, which sent collectors scrambling to pay high prices on platforms like Discogs. But now, the extra tracks will finally be released to the wider public on the deluxe edition of “Guts (Spilled).” And not only that, a brand-new bonus track will be included as well.
More Tracks, More Excitement
The upcoming deluxe edition will feature the four previously vinyl-only tracks – “Obsessed,” “Girl I’ve Always Been,” “Scared of My Guitar,” and “Stranger” – which have been eagerly sought after by fans. These tracks were not included in the original release of “Guts” but have now been made available for digital consumption. Additionally, a never-before-heard bonus track called “So American” will also be unveiled.
A Closer Look at the Tracks
While the four vinyl-only tracks showcase a more acoustic side of Olivia Rodrigo, “Obsessed” stands out as a high-energy tune that perfectly complements the rest of the album. Co-written by Rodrigo herself, along with Dan Nigro and Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent), “Obsessed” has already made its mark as one of the highlights of Rodrigo’s current tour. It has even been announced as her new radio single.
The Quest for Collectibles
“Obsessed” was the only one of the four tracks that had previously been widely available commercially on vinyl. It appeared as a secret track on the standard black LP edition and various other variants. On the other hand, “Girl I’ve Always Been,” “Scared of My Guitar,” and “Stranger” could only be found as unlisted bonuses on limited color variants sold through the singer’s webstore. Eventually, all four tracks were brought together in a single-sided vinyl EP titled “Gut: The Secret Tracks,” released exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday. This EP was produced in a limited quantity of 7,500, and copies have been resold on Discogs for an average price of $108.
Digital-Only Release
As of now, “Guts (Spilled)” is set to be a digital-only release, with no announcement of a CD or vinyl edition. However, there is still a chance that physical copies may be in the pipeline. Variety has reached out to clarify this matter, so we’ll have to wait and see.
When the “Guts: The Secret Tracks” EP was released on Black Friday for Record Store Day, Variety had this to say about the tracks: “All four are strong enough that they would have been worthy inclusions on the main track list. ‘Obsessed’ is the standout, but the acoustically based tracks like ‘Scared of My Guitar,’ ‘Stranger,’ and the playful kiss-off ‘Girl I’ve Always Been’ show the range and potential of Olivia Rodrigo’s artistry. It’s hard to imagine that these tracks won’t find a wider audience through a digital release or other means.”
