also... buena vista social club is not doing much for me... it looks like a cool story and the music is decent. but it also feels super standard, mostly because i heard its impact more than others and its not as big an "OH SHIT IT WILL SELL OUT ASAP" as say queens or the roots were... spiritualized is the only album i really want in the next 3 months...

Hopefully VMP can skirt the rules a la Biggie. Either that or they are going to pay a big royalty check to get the usage cleared.

Maybe not get fucked, but it is the true version of it. The VMP link is to the black cover version that has it, but it is VMP here...

Re-signed up for the BVSC and Spiritualized, dropped Mayer like the POS he is for credits and added Tyner. Pretty happy all in all

Storf probably read about this album for the first time a month ago on a NME Best of the 90's list while taking a shit so he likely has no idea what I'm talking about

I just listened to my Plain copy a couple days ago and my god does it sound like shit. I’ll just be happy to get a correctly mastered version on quiet vinyl.
who said it was going to be quiet vinyl

Seeing Spiritualized play this album in full for the first concert at the Ace Hotel in LA was mesmerizing. My wife had never heard them before and still counts it as one of the best shows she's ever seen.

Alrighty got rid of Mayer and subbed in Stevie nicks. So that’s sorted

It's such a low bar to hurdle to make a better copy of LAGWAFIS than what's out on Plain and I'm still going to spend the next three months worried about VMP's version because 1) that's how much I want to own a great version of an album I love and 2) faith I have in this process...

May hop on for September but idk. I might see what the following 3 months have in store

I don't really need a copy of Continuum, but it'll be a pleasant enough nostalgia trip on a warm summer night of quarantine...

In for Prince Paul, Blossom Dearie and McCoy Tyner (though I still might cancel Tyner, it’s FOMO as of right now, jazz piano just isn’t my thing)

I moved classics over to my main subscription, and deleted essentials. I may add it back for Spiritualized. Probably not Buena Vista, although I love that story.
However, I'm now seeing two versions of classics. Anyone had this issue before? I've emailed them to make sure its cancelled.

Second two are really great picks. Obviously hyperbole is hyperbole, but I'd definitely pick up BVSC if I do don't already have it and have been holding out for a decent reissue of Spiritualized.
Probable my favorite two Essentials in a row they've done. At least since the run from Cosmogramma to De La.

Agreed. First three months in a long time that I won’t be swapping any essentials! Had the thought recently that they should do a BVSC pressing and voila

So, an album I'm 100% swapping, an album I already own, and Spiritualized.
I'm one for three, so swaps had better be damn good.
