I audibly gasped at PM Dawn but I already own an original press. Still, it makes me hopeful they might get around to releasing more of their records on vinyl.

This is the one thing on that list where I exclaimed "fuckin' sweet!" out loud. Such great music. Can live without the rest but I MUST have this.

And agree the first album is also near perfect.

The first PM Dawn album might be my favorite album of all time. It's at least my most played. I wish more people knew how good they were.

That MMW is limited to 2500, so might not be real easy to find. but it is a RSD First, so it'll pop up later on probably in regular black vinyl.
 
Nice little analysis from one of the newer local stores in Portland. Enjoyed his shop and super friendly.

pretty sure this dude posted on here at one time, definitely was an aggressive self-promoter.

I have an old message from him in my inbox that I saw when looking for an address the other day. Don't remember what it said - I didn't read it - but...

Oh wait... I remember the incident. It's probably in regards to how he did a vinyl release campaign and promoted it in both text and video as being limited to "only 100 copies," but it wasn't. Then he told me that everyone should know that was the minimum amount of copies to get it pressed for the campaign. My comment was that it was misleading - which is being generous, because it was literally a false statement - and suggested he might want to clarify that on the page of the campaign if he "misspoke" because it clearly stated the opposite and, based on numerous responses from others, it seemed obvious no one was interpreting it that way. He just got increasingly more defensive and condescending, while never really changing it. Then he messaged me.

He posted something else in the hip hop thread that got a bad reaction too.

I'm not trying to knock anyone's hustle, unless it requires hustling me. The sort of stuff he does just isn't for me on any level and I'd wager he doesn't have the greatest opinion of the forum at this point, either. That said, it wouldn't have surprised me to see him pop up in here to post this video himself, if Matt hadn't already done it. He appears like Candyman from time to time.

I have to say that referring to your label as TMR always felt like a pretty bold move.
