Vinyl Me Please Country

How much better is the VMP version of Townes at the Old Quarter than the Fat Possum version? Worth the upgrade?
Its probably a little better but it’s a step-above bootleg live recording. I have the Fat Possum pressing and feel like it’s good enough. I am not clamoring to spend twice as much for the VMP pressing and it’s my favorite TVZ record.

Good enough to hear pool and foosball being played upstairs.

Overall I think it’s as best as it’s going to get, but not a mind-blowing difference. For what it is, it’s a great intimate recording.
 
I mean, none of the records I have gotten since coming back to VMP would cause me to give up an older pressing. I'll probably continue to swap things that I already have good copies of... which is fine, gets me something I'll love as well and with something like Sturgill (as I did with Kacey), I'll make a point to take it out for a spin or two during it's month.
 
Thinking about swapping this month for a Musgraves album. What's the consensus on these? I listened to a ton of Golden Hour but can't say I know much about either of these early ones.
