Went ahead and pulled the trigger on Sonny Sharrock and Peanuts Portraits (lol) using the 10% discount.

Haven’t checked out yet, but there’s 17 copies left of Whitney Houston, so I’m safe! I’m definitely buying the Afro-Peruvian Classics, and The Bar-Kays’ Cold Blooded! I’m also going to add the AP pressing of Willie Nelson’s Stardust!@NathanRicaud Did you succeed getting the Whitney set and what other records did you buy with the discount?
I’m just listening to Salt-N-Pepa’s Black Magic! I think I’m going to get it, but am just re-visiting it! I know the pressing is going to sound amazing like the Salt-N-Pepa ROTM! It’s 45RPM as well, which is awesome! I love the singles from the album too! The production on that album is pretty good actually!
I kind of also want to get the Gabriel Garzon too but I think the colour variant is a bit underwhelming! I like the two singles from that album so far, but think I’ll just wait until the album fully gets released!

Supposedly October so you're going to be waiting a while. That's why I went and did the 10% code on it. Otherwise swapping for credit might be your best bet.

It's interesting you enjoy the Willie Nelson. Would you say that record is country or rather some other style? I don't know him very well.
Feel the same about Gabriel Garzon and hope it sticks around long enough to see what the album sounds like.
I'm sure the Salt-N-Pepa will sound pretty good. If I would've picked up their RotM I would consider picking this up. I think both records are good, but I probably don't need them on vinyl.
Hey just look at it this way... we're suffering through this so that alternate timeline Mather and @NewsFedora can have the summer of their lives, seeing shows, partying with friends, having the records they order from VMP actually delivered to them instead of being told they're oversold or there's surprise second pressings that they never informed them of...

I don’t think that Willie Nelson album is a country album. It’s like a pop-soul/blues record! The production by Booker T. Jones is absolutely immaculate on Stadust! He steals the show in my opinion! I actually really like Stardust, it’s a great album and apparently this 2LP AP 45RPM release sounds stunning!
Can’t wait to blast “Let’s Talk About Sex” loud in my room though!

That Willie AP pressing is hot fire!

I can’t wait to hear it and to add it to the collection of Analogue Productions pressings I have!

Ordered the Afro-Peruvian album, with coupon got it for $25 which seems very reasonable, particularly given the small pressing size.

@Bluecloud777 did you order Khruangbin and have it ship separately recently? I got a shipment notification and tracking a while back but it's stuck at "IN TRANSIT TO DESTINATION COUNTRY" for almost 2 weeks now. Ever seen anything like that?
Vmp sent the white stripes to me separately at around the same time and it showed up pretty quickly.

I have too many to list down, but my favourite AP pressings are the Stereo pressing of Pet Boys’ Beach Sounds, The Doors’ L.A. Woman, Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, Ella Fitzgerald’s Let No Man Write my Epitah, Helen Merrill, Bill Evans’ At The Montreux Jazz Festival, Herbie Hancock’s HeadHunters, Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto’s Getz/Gilberto & Muddy Waters’ Folk Singer!
I love all my AP records though, but those ones are my absolute favourites! Can’t forget about Nat King Cole’s Love Is The Thing too! Such a romantic, spellbinding listen!

I haven't ordered that album from VMP, but I recently also had that situation that a VMP record was in transit for 10 days or so. I think it has to do with the strong limitation of flights between the US and Germany. In the past many passenger flights also carried packages with them, but now most passenger flights between the US and Germany are cancelled. I think this status means that it is lying around at some US airport waiting to be flown here.
It's weird though that the White Stripes have arrived quickly. Possibly your Khruangbin also is already at German airport customs waiting to be dealt with. If you're unlucky, it could take a few weeks. As long as nobody deals with it, the status doesn't change sometimes.
