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

Nobody loves Ella more than me, but this record is downright cringe inducing. Akin to Sinatra singing Mrs. Robinson.
I agree. It's tough to see her trying to stay relevant in 1969 by covering a bunch of popular rock songs. Later in her career she puts out some great records and abandons this strategy, which was no doubt pushed by people in the industry.
 
Tempted to jump for the Freddie record. Same price as the Bethlehem reissues but pressed at Optimal and is AAA. Justifies the price a bit more.
Right here with you. Trying to figure out with all the incredible jazz reissues happening right now between Blue Note and AS if this is a session I would reach for to justify the spend :/.
 
And track 2 has made it clear to me, I would not enjoy the entirety of this spin. Track 4 is booootyful though, but alas, life is too short to grit your teeth through 1/4 of the listen though. Pass for me.
I think I’m going to pass as well. I like it, but I’ve added about 35 records to my collection in the past two weeks. I don’t really need this one.
 
CS told me they are using the same mastering as these existing releases for this:



So no new remaster and sounds like standard jacket stock, but still, should be excellent quality AAA, pressed at Optimal. I think these are getting reissued non-club on black vinyl too in July.

Ther have been quite a few MPS reissues in the past few years. All newly remastered AAA pressed at Optimal. Superb. These are two weaker MPS titles, particularly the Ella. I suggest that anyone who wants these smply get the less expensive black vinyl, or better, get some of the great MPS titles remastered and reissued in this series.

I’m so freakin’ happy to finally be getting Sports Team
 
Damn, wish I didn’t miss on the M.I.A. MAŸA restock! Really wanted that one! Happy I’ve got exclusive pressings for Arular and Kala, but having an exclusive pressing for MAŸA would’ve been amazing!!!
 
Easily my most anticipated record this year from VMP, it'll be arriving the day my new speakers get hooked up too. What a way to break them in!
Oh my goodness! That’s so freaking exciting!!! I’m so excited for you! I’m looking forward to your reaction of you being filled with joy!! 😍
