Y'all are the worst enablers. Re-joined for 3 months. (Thanks & your welcome @Murfocakes for the referral). Guy Clark, Gary Bartz, and Phases & Stages were too big a draw. Will add Master of Reality if it pops back up too. Added Shape of Jazz as my Bonus record to compare to the Speakers...

2024 (Mid-Life Crisis) Fitness Goals: 1 - Boston Marathon Qualifying Time (Sub 3:20) 2 - Backyard Ultra: 16+ laps 3 - Bench Press: Currently 135 x 8, but would like to get back to my body weight (185, although trying to get to 175 to help with goals 1 & 2). Let’s go!

Anyone know if the Bonus records deal will still be available in 2024?

They did the same for the seam split on my Chalino Sanchez. (Obviously) I took the replacement album. But apparently Chalino is getting repressed and won’t ship until Feb? The wonders of VMP’s logistics never cease.

Guy Clark - Old No. 1?

Tbh that’s one of my hesitations with getting the VMP set, that the MoFis will then just take up space on my shelf. That happened with my AP Headhunters after I got the Herbie box.

Hey all, I'm contemplating flipping my four Miles Davis MoFis (and using some credit) and buying the Miles Anthology before my membership lapses at the end of the month. Almost all the reviews for the Miles Davis set I've read have been positive, but has anyone on here A-B'd the VMP Miles Davis...

Just realized my VMP membership is about to lapse and I have enough store credit for a couple albums on my way out the door... I'm leaning towards Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak (an upgrade on my step-dad's old scratched copy) and Booker T - In the Christmas Spirit ('cause Christmas is coming). The...

Gotta figure 1974 is them finally getting around to Phases and Stages.

Really? Interesting, I've had good experiences with them for online orders. What was the issue? Did you order from their Discogs or the Webstore? They told me that the Discogs was the stock from one store, while the website was the (Queen St?) store.

Idk, if you want shoes that can do both road and trail - and come in wider widths - the Hoka Challengers are probably your best bet. Especially if you already like them and they've just reached their max milage. Or try the New Balance Hierro? A guy in my Tuesday trail run crew wears those and...

Hmm...I have a standard width foot, so I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure Nike Pegasus come in wider sizing as a buddy used to wear them. I assume you are looking for a road running shoe, but are you looking for in a shoe? Cushion or Minimal? Stability? Lightweight? Do you prefer a big...

What brand is that? I've worn Asics and Hoka's of late and they both offer varying widths, although Hoka doesn't offer it in all their lines.

A couple humble brags: Crushed my fastest 50k Ultra two weeks ago at the Squamish 50: And then climbed a 2000m (6500ft) mountain peak this weekend: Love being active outside.

Currently trying to talk myself out of also ordering the Albert King album... EDIT: I got it. 4 album TBT. Oof.

I think the Willie box is sold out too at this point. And I was the same. I already have most of the box, so I'll be good with my grandpa's old scratched CD of Borderline.

There were Willie Anthology titles today, but Borderline wasn't one of them. Apparently they've gone through their extras on that one.

Yeah, I grabbed Harold Melvin - Wake Up Everbody (from the Philly Box) and Johnnie Taylor - Raw Blues (from the Stax Box). Nice to finally grab a couple albums I wanted without the stuff I didn't.
