Vinyl Me Please Country

[jfitzy]

I like this Reba album. And I think the dated production is kind of charming and endearing. But I think I’m going to pass as well. I don’t think it would get spun enough to justify its place in my collection, and I’m running out of room fast in my apartment...

I'm all about Reba. Sure it's dated but ALOT of mainstream 90s country (and 90s music in general is). That's part of the charm to me.

Further Reba confirmation with that clue. Not a bad choice but also not really my thing which kind of applies to most country for me.

I will be grabbing Dolly in August, though.

I knew it would be pink.

Love Reba. Love all the picks to be honest. I just wish I hadn't steadied my hand in the first place and missed Johnny Cash with it selling out.

Um, Emmylou isn't AAA? what BS is this? It just says "mastered from the original tapes" while the others say explicitly that they are AAA.

I like that in the writeup for Outkast, Storf said "We don’t have any plans to repeat artists in Essentials, but in our other Tracks, we’re definitely open to doing the same artist more than once."
As much as this track has been flawless so far and I'm excited for them to explore artists outside of the big names, I wasnt thrilled at the thought of no more reissues from those folks.

That's a hard swap for me!

Not the biggest fan of Reba, but I’m going to try my best to not swap anything from the country track. Hopefully we don’t get any Luke Bryan or Morgan Wallen, or i will strongly reconsider.

I was planning on swapping Reba, but fuck it. I’m keeping it. I think my wife will enjoy it as well.

Yeah, that was weird. I wonder why it wouldn’t be AAA? They said a while back the Country track will be AAA when possible.

Lol that Emmylou is $6 at virtually every record store and record show in America. And AAA.

 

[NewsFedora]

Plangent process, maybe? That worked out extremely well for the Erroll Garner Classics release from last year.

Oh true, didn’t even consider that. Hopefully that is the case. That Erroll record sounded fantastic.

response from VMP customer service on the Emmylou: "This title is not an AAA release but, it was re-mastered from the original tapes. "

I wanted to not swap Reba, but after listening to this and several other albums, I am thinking she is a greatest hits artist for me. No disrespect to the woman herself, I just don't need this particular album. Swapped for credit.

To all the Reba haters, you will at least find this amusing. NSFW

It's not disrespect. She's a phenomenal talent. The music is just not great. So it comes down to a few catchy songs. On Dolly and Emmylou I think both the singing and the music are fantastic. Can't wait for those.
