Vinyl Me Please Essentials

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...

Until I get a confirmed track list to know it’s the proper vinyl version. I’m assuming it’s not and it’s shit because although I’ll go back to these clowns for this album I’d rather not have to and also I don’t trust them an inch.
 
Damn, already have BVSC ...am I gonna want that VMP version based on those pressing details?🤔
Right? I have the most recent reissue on Nonesuch which also used the original master. Not sure if it was AAA or not. Will this one be? It’s kind of hard to tell. I know BG was the original mastering engineer and has previously cut lacquers for the Classic Records issue which was the original US release. Im assuming this was originally recorded to tape?
 
I got that too. I was at least able to change track (which is what I wanted - I wanted Sahara) by pressing the edit button on my plan. But then again I think I'm being v lucky because this is my 4th month having only paid for 2. Nice to have VMP appear to screw up in a good way for once! (Although I'm not counting my chickens till I have the record, unwarped, in my hands)
 
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)
Well this is the album that can help you get into jazz piano! It's a diverse piano jazz album that's so rich and adventurous, exotic and energetic! You don't want to miss out on this AAA McCoy Tyner release! 🎹🏆🚨💯

Humour me Joe, how is the original vinyl order different?
 
Man I’ve heard bad things about it I feel like. What pressing is this?


I think it’s a brilliant press. Clean, quiet and I really like the mastering, carries a definite heft. I’ve had 2 (I dropped the first one drunk 😭) and both were fantastic as far as I’m concerned.
