The recent box set of the 3 EPs is one of the best presses I own. It is absolutely stunning. I have the colored press but I'm sure the black is the same.Oh dude, I love The Beta Band. That album is amazing

I only saw it on Amazon.ca but for the price I might give it a flyer. I did a search on the ASIN number and it is listed on a couple of European AmazonsCan you post a link to that. I cannot find it
I always liked Gomez too, Liquid Skin and Bring It On.Thank you all for the British suggestions. Us yanks have to seek that stuff out. I have the beta band 3 EP’s. I opted for the double album of that as I can’t stand flipping too much. Especially when getting into that type of music. I will add pulp and seahorses to my now running list. Cheers!
The burgundy Bring It On pressing from a couple years ago is pretty good.I always liked Gomez too, Liquid Skin and Bring It On.
Agreed. The clear liquid skin is good too if that’s your jam.The burgundy Bring It On pressing from a couple years ago is pretty good.
Did anybody mention The Stone Roses debut? That should be on the list. I would probably also add Travis The Man Who to the list too but that one would probably bit more divisive.No one has mentioned suede yet! How?
Their first two albums (s/t and Dog Man Star) are mega and the third (coming up) isnt as consistent but has some mega singles. Peoper top quality filthy sleaay glam rock. Also Bernard Butler is a fucking mega guitarist.
Also The La’s, wonderful pop songs and arguably the band that acted as the precursor to all the britpop that followed!

Even though Nigel produced it? It’s basically a Radiohead side project.Agree with Stone Roses. I’m happy to leave travis in the barren musical wasteland between the end of britpop and the start of the mid 00s fun.

Black Grape- it’s great when you’re straight...yeah.
Omg yessssssssss! That album is an absolute classic! I love that album so much and I’m a huge M.I.A fan! I’ve got Arular on vinyl but would love that album to get the VMP treatment! Especially the Essentials ROTM treatment!You know what I really want VMP to release (probs too 'small' for an essential), M.I.A. – Arular. That album slaps but even the UK pressings for sale on discogs all seem to be in Europe, I cant find an affordable copy here anywhere.

I definitely don’t think it’s too small to be an Essentials pick. If we got Jim Sullivan’s U.F.O. and Caroline Rose within the last 12 months as an Essentials ROTM, then we can get Arular!
However, I think Kala is more stronger pick for an Essentials ROTM! Nit only is Kala a more ‘bigger’ release as it has the hit single ‘Paper Planes’ and got was certified Gold, but it’s a more diverse album musically and there’s such an interesting story behind the whole album! The controversy with not being able to enter the U.S., hence not collaborating as much with Timbaland as she’d hoped too etc.
Also, Kala is ranked #393 in Rollingstones Greatest 500 albums of all-time list! It’s Robert Christgau’s FAVOURITE ALBUM OF THE 21ST CENTURY!!!
Kala is just so ahead of its time musically and politically and I think it would make for an outstanding Essentials ROTM! A ROTM that would also be very popular amongst VMP’s audience too!
Ha I never put 2 and 2 together that he was her brother. She even has a song about him called Allie, all about him getting high in his room all day.To be honest as much as I know about Lily Allen is that her dad's in the video for World in Motion and her brother got his wanger chopped off in Game of Thrones... And thats enough for me to get by on
