I'm not sure I've heard the mono version before. I can't imagine Intersteller Overdrive without the stereo panning in it. That was always my favorite as a young, high, Crazy Diamond.

Anyone remember when they told us to check for errors on listings and we would have a small credit for the store if they fixed it?
I know I sent about 3, but did anyone ever received anything from that?

I remember that, but they’d be bankrupt if they actually followed through with that promiseAnyone remember when they told us to check for errors on listings and we would have a small credit for the store if they fixed it?

I sent in like 10-12 corrections. I think they gave me $20 in credit for the first batch I sent in, but then nada. That was also back in the days of the VMP Forums and staff (Storf, Cam, AB, Pauly) coming on and having discussions with us.Anyone remember when they told us to check for errors on listings and we would have a small credit for the store if they fixed it?

I am intrigued by the recent batch of Curated picks, that's a throwback to the old days, even if the prices aren't as good.

I really want the Grimes AOTM but I’m on a month-to-month and always just get credit so that I can keep my membership active for the exclusives. I guess this means I’ll need to do and “add-on” but damn, $75 is like a month’s vinyl budget

Looks like Ready to Die will be available as a swap!

Phew, glad I already have Ready to Die, I'd hate to be part of that dogpile when swaps open. Rico Nasty is back, too. I've actually been spinning that record a lot recently, definitely an underrated RHH pick.
For me, I'll be going for Irma Thomas, I figured there was no way that wasn't making it to swaps. I need to give Wayne Shorter another listen, as well. For some reason I just never really got into Shorter the way I have for some other jazz legends.
As an aside, now I get to see what happens first: I receive my January WBC box from France, swaps open for VMP's February ROTM, or VMP ships me my January box.

Different Shorter. This is Wayne's brother, the trumpeter, Alan. Orgasm is quite out there and free.
Who knows at this point?!

D'oh. I fail at reading comprehension.
I passed on Alan Shorter previously since it didn’t fully click with me. Will give it another listen or two before Thursday to see if I’m jiving with it this time.
If not, will probably just cancel as I’m not really feeling any of February’s picks.

I really want that Ready to Die, but no doubt it's gonna be either a shitshow with a crashed site, or it's gonna sell out in like 30 seconds
If you go to the site and start refreshing about 5 minutes before everything goes live, you'll get it. I've never missed out on anything I wanted in swaps when I've done that.
This. Don't tell Reddit, but I've been doing this for almost a year and it works every time. Swaps open 3-5 minutes early every single month without fail.

I think it'll be around for a few minutes. Pauly said on reddit: "Can't talk specifics around how many copies, but this IS NOT a 'we found copies in the back' type situation."
My guess: a smallish repress of a few hundred. They'll split some for swaps and then have the rest up in the store after February 1.

worth noting that Book Cooks is available on black vinyl for around $23 elsewhere.
