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

Might have gotten suckered into the "bridge" deal, but it was the same $ overall monthly as my initial plan 5 years ago and split between PayPal payments so:

This month was tough for me.... I'm on the Classic track and am completely okay with this month's pick but trying to be strategic. I'm guessing it will be around for future swaps? The Strokes was super tempting but I already have an alright pressing of Room on Fire but was tempted due to VMP pressing. Is this VMP version remastered at all though?

It's a lot of... classic world pop on disc 1? Kinda, disc two is not so much world pop..I like it, but it's different for sure. The pressing is very nice and the mastering is very nice and I absolutely LOVE the final track. Have a listen. I guess it really depends on what you were expecting...

Sorry Mather on editing my initial post! "When I popped on at 2 PST saw that the Khruangbin Late Night Exclusive and swapped on that without listening to it yet, reading later it is mediocre in track picks?"

Not to flog a sparklehorse (yes, I am clever), but this box sounds SO good. Packaging is great, booklet is great, sleeves are great, mastering is great, pressings are great. It's like hearing these albums for the first time again. I highly recommend it. So choice.

This is not what wanted to hear (from a money standpoint) but exactly what I needed to hear (from a collection standpoint). I think I am gonna sign up to get the Lord Quas ROTM and purchase this on Friday when I get paid.

Is it still for sale? If so, YES. I am on the last side of Good Morning Spider right now and it is heaven.

EDIT: Also, if you don't want to sign back up, I would be happy to grab those for you, homie!

Yeah, last I checked earlier today it was still up for “presale”.

Thanks man but I was planning on signing up for Lord Quas anyhow and I have $65 in store credit burning a hole in my pocket. When I sign back up for a month I’ll get free shipping and the discounted member price means it’s kinda like I’m getting the Quasimoto LP for free.

Yeah, that's not bad. I still feel as though people are underestimating how good Room On Fire might be, but I get it.

Oh yeah, I love ROF. I just listened my black copy and while I am sure the VMP version will likely sound better, I am completely happy with my copy. I don’t have Quasimoto on wax though. So that’s the way I’m gonna go.

ROF is one of my (many) favorite albums. I prefer it to the debut. So I am looking forward to seeing what RKS does with it.

Oh man, agree with @TenderLovingKiller® here. I'm so torn. I'm a huge Sparklehorse fan, so much that I own the shitty Plain pressings of these albums. They were some of the first records I purchased after I got a turntable, so it was before I knew about Plain's horrible reputation, or even knew what discogs was to check in about quality issues. But this box set is so ridiculously priced, and I say that as a current member. I really hope the price decreases, or these are pressed outside of VMP.
 
VMP is Waxwork now?
