Don’t own any of the VMP picks, so it feels unfair weighing in on the debate, but the picks here are far more engrossing.
More than the picks (which are great of course, especially the June AOTM), I enjoy the idea of someone sharing one of his favorite records with the community (and, with this, a bit of themselves). Other interesting point is that it helps to meet more members depending on the music genre, decade, etc... and that is really good. So again, thank you @Murfocakes, @Goatfish and now @Teeeee

Absolutely agreed, could not have said it better myself. It definitely makes the pick more personal.More than the picks (which are great of course, especially the June AOTM), I enjoy the idea of someone sharing one of his favorite records with the community (and, with this, a bit of themselves).

And thank YOU for going first, setting the bar extremely high with your guess thread, an amazing write up and a fantastic first pick (seriously, how effing cool is it that our little "club" had Mark dCL as the first pick).More than the picks (which are great of course, especially the June AOTM), I enjoy the idea of someone sharing one of his favorite records with the community (and, with this, a bit of themselves).

And thank @Captainfog and @Skalap and anyone else that played a part in the AMA with Mark!

I don't want to draw attraction from @Teeeee 's pick for now, we'll do it last week of August as usual.
Also, announcement time !
Staff is working with @Alexander for the final design of the Obis and it's gonna drop soon ! We'll do one for each past AotM, and we'll archive them in the first post of this thread. You've all seen the first draft of them, it's gonna be awesome.
Also N&G Staff will also make another announcement regarding the AotM soon, and it's a great idea from our friends there. I'll let them announce it as soon as it's finalised.
Okey, well, it was more TEASING time, I guess.
So any more on this? I’ve only been patient because I forgot...
Okay folks, fresh Obi's. Get them while they are hot! Tell your friends.
I've never had to make anything that was going to be printed out before, so any issues with quality/sizing let me know by @ing me. I made these so they are 12" high and should have enough of a spine to get around a gatefold sleeve comfortably.

Download the file to a flash drive and go to Kinko's, it'll cost you a couple of bucks, but they'll hook you up
