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

My membership expires I think in 2 months. Then I’m out for awhile until at least the new plant opens and I see what titles they are pressing and what the quality is like. If they press a classics album I like I might dip back in but I haven’t done longer than a 3 month sub in a really long time.

Mine was set to expire at the end of January but I had a bunch of store credit that I converted to membership credit so I'm in for three more months and then will reevaluate.

Excited for Air! I just sold my GITD version for $60 so that covers like a month and a half of VMP.

Did anyone grab the Clem Snide - Ghost of Fashion reissue?

I got Ghost of Fashion and Your Favorite Music. YFM is the VMP. Ghost of Fashion was purchased straight from Sundazed (they have a deal where if you spend over $50 you get a free test pressing). Both BoomBoom cuts and sound great. Really like the bonus side of cover songs on each album. Not sure where they are pressed. Came with weird inners I haven’t seen before (totally clear and almost like outer jacket material)

Good to know. BoomBoom knows his way around 80s and 90s indie rock

Yeah it’s the first time I had ever seen inners like that.

Never seen them before. I guess better than paper sleeves but weird and I replaced them immediately

Yeah my recent Sun Ra had one of these... definitely better than paper, though I think all my MH Sun Ras prior have the lined paper sleeves.
 
They used to use the rice paper/poly sleeves like a mofi sleeve. These things are weird. I always change inners but sundazed records are getting opened when they hit the door and getting out of those things.

The owner of your local doesn’t like to chat about music? Wtf?

I’ve had mixed experiences with some shop owners. My favorite shop in NYC was called In Living Stereo. One guy who worked there would always recommend other artists and albums based on what I brought up to the register. Then he’d spin some of the ones he picked out for me. More often than not I’d end up leaving with another record or two. There was another shop near where I lived called The Record Grouch which was very aptly named.

Is Human Head still operating? Best record shop I visited while I was there a few years ago.
