Tbh maybe vinyl junkies is just storf
I mean that’s not writing, that’s sub barfly rambling. I’ve get to see evidence that he’s capable of holding a pen.
>implying storf isn't the same way

Vinyl Me, Please Launches Country Series With Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson Reissues
Vinyl Me, Please will kick off its country music Record of the Month series in March with a reissue of Johnny Cash’s 'At Folsom Prison.'

Well I mean he can at least create text, even if it’s not very good and riddled with errors, unless you’re implying that he has a ghost writer?
Also they posted his liner notes on the site so I gave them a gander. Man does he shoot himself in the foot. Every time he writes something that has you semi worried that an average writer might emerge there’s just a line, sentence or paragraph that’s pure cringe.
no albums before folsom prison... i'm going to hold them to this
again i feel like storf is just vinyl junkies except slightly less high
meanwhile rolling stone already announced april and may... OOPS.avi
ok so folsom prison is classic, sturgil is new releases, and i guess willie is either deep cut or out of print, so that means it has to be the one left out

If this was the marvel universe, they'd do Johnny, Willie, Waylon, and Kris, and then no. 5 would be Highwaymen

Already have the Sundazed version of Folsom, so that makes it difficult to sign up for this. Definitely in for Shotgun Willie next month though.

I don't think this is the correct interpretation. He's just saying that every record they release in VMP Country will somehow owe a debt to Folsom... which is still a really weird (storf) thing to say even though it's a great album by a great artist.
Metamodern was first released in 2014 and possibly not officially in-print, even if readily accessible on the secondary market. I'm not sure if it fits in that bucket or "stone-cold classic" in storf's view. That said, I hope you're technically right because unlike Essentials, this shouldn't be a track that presses truly new albums, but it seems like we'll get at least a few a year.

Sturgill is 17 bucks on Amazon right now, several years old, and is a rather strong seller as is at that. What category does this fall into with a 40+ dollar curated service? I get Folsom and Shotgun but that’s a headscrstcher of a choice unless it does actually get newly mastered and is a marked improvement.

As someone who isnt really a country fan, I just say I love their first 3 picks. I'm not signing up but I am tempted lol

It’s $33 if you go in for a year. But yeah it’s pricey.
I don’t have any of these first three records and they’re all three I’d love to have in my collection. But I’ll need to wait and see pressing details for Metamodern to see if it’s worth $15 more than the standard edition.

Does anyone else feel like this sub is just going to be country for newbs or am I being shitty and elitist by saying that

It is substantially more mainstream in terms of artist choice than any other track’s introduction and really that any track is today, but I think it’ll take time to see where it goes. There is some validity into going for a more general intro and then getting more in depth. I bet we will know more when the next cycle is announced.
I doubt I’ll ever be a VMP customer so my word isn’t worth much but it does feel like a bit of an odd direction if this is the usual.
no. my first thought was 'what country fan - even a casual country fan - doesn't have or at least isn't pretty familiar with these records, these artists, and their importance?'. these are fantastic choices, no doubt, and any newbie couldn't do much better than starting out with these albums. i am excited for those types of folks to be able to dive in this way. but for anyone who's been around and appreciates country music in the slightest and might have been on the fence about this sub, i can't imagine they'll pull many of those people in until they put out something less ubiquitous. and to top it off none of these albums are worth $45 or whatever the fuck they're charging these days when new and used copies can be had for much less. vmp definitely swung for the n00bs (and also the press/marketing, who can use the big names to get the attention and clicks).
