Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Ok, Is anyone willing to talk me out of swapping for Gorillaz this month? I joined VMP with Sorcerer, and ever since I’ve consistently heard about that Gorillaz package.

Here’s the thing...I’m just not sure how much I’d spin it. Ive given the album 2 listens, and it just kinda depresses me. Am I missing anything? Backup options are Byrd - Fancy Free, Darrell Banks, The Lightmen, or asking them to give me Coltrane - Blue World.

Thanks

Do you know the deal with Blue World? I think it is very disingenuous to call it an album. Unless you are a Coltrane completionist and already have everything else, I'd focus on the others.
 
It all depends on your mood. If you think you wouldn't spin Gorillaz, I would pass. I have it and I think it's only been played twice at the most. All the rest have gotten more play but I'm more of a jazz and classics listener. I get in moods where I'll want to hear some VMP ROTM but my daily listening is more Byrd, Banks and other classics.

They just released a 25th anniversary edition of Day For Night literally this week!

But I agree, almost any Tragically Hip exclusive I would jump on. Phantom Power and Trouble At The Henhouse would be right up at the top of the list, and I would also love to see In Violet Light.

I have that new Abbey Road Day For Night Remaster, it's GLORIOUS.

Lightmen is my favorite of those. Demon Days is a good record but if you wouldn't listen to it then what's the point?

They agreed to let me swap for the Angel Olsen so happy enough with the classics, gorillaz and Angel Olsen this month as a comeback and to make sure I get QOTSA next month. Hoping I can get QOTSA, classics and a swap to desert session next month!

I mean they always were going to if they got a nice version of an album I liked, never mind a gorgeous version of a whale.

What I’ll say is every criticism of them I have still holds and I reserve my right to trash them as and when I feel like it.

However, they’re another online store, that although run by dicks is far less evil, and over here cheaper, than a lot of the alternatives. I don’t consider them a club or curators anymore though!

Messaged CS and asked to swap for Outkast. I purchased the 2 albums I wanted the most when I saw they weren't available as swaps (Yusef and The Hustler) and canceled my membership, but I would stick around if they let me get Southernplaya

CS placed Outkast as my swap. Now, has anyone asked to swap for Fania All Stars? Do you think they will let me add a track and swap it for a record that is currently not offered as a swap?

From what Ive read the have let people swap for Hustler so my guess is if they have it in the warehouse they would probably allow it. You may wanna contact CS and see about swapping one of the albums you already are subbed for if they allow it then sign up for the additional sub and swap it for OutKast.
