Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Per Storf: "for free for you to bring back to Reddit, Essentials will have one of the albums in our top 5 most requested ROTMs ever.

Per VMP


So given those hourglass posts a few weeks ago, Deloused has gotta be the front runner. Which I'm cool with because I was not willing to pay those Cloud Hill prices. Could also be Channel Orange. They've mentioned before that they tried (and were close iirc) to getting that in the past. I'd be super psyched if it were Frank., I'm betting on Mars Volta though.

Or it is " a random album they love" again

I'll play: News is that new Kendrick is right around the corner, could also revisit Section 80 with a new album exclusive store drop/preorder.

Mostly wishful thinking but the timing could be right.

In order of likelihood it's (imo) deloused, pawn, "a random favorite", orange/ 80 (tied for really fucking unlikely)

Pawn violates their own rules.

Hopefully De-Loused happens before my sub ends.

Pawn violates their own rules.

And would be an incredibly stupid choice. Didn't they already sell tons of those. There should be not to many people left who need a copy

 

[NewsFedora]

It's gotta be Deloused, I remember the VMP Twitter account making a cutesy tease or two a few weeks ago when the Mars Volta albums went on sale.

I'd love to be wrong and it ends up being Section 80, though.

 

[bdrummond]

I agree that Deloused is the most probable choice, but I really really want it to be Section 80 or Channel Orange. The Mars Volta does literally nothing for me.

 

[yukbon]

Dammit, they already did pawn yeah? I was thinking extraordinary machine

Either way we're not getting another Fiona Apple album in Essentials.

Meh if it's not Channel Orange (but I wouldn't say no to Kendrick).

 

[keylime_5]

When the Pawn is already done by VMP as a VMP Exclusive pressing and it's still in stock at their store. It's obviously not that. Probably Channel Orange or Deloused.

 

[NewsFedora]

Here's that VMP tweet from a few weeks back. They're definitely doing SOMETHING with Mars Volta. I was originally thinking they might just carry some copies in their store at delightfully inflated prices, but this could certainly be alluding to having their own ROTM or exclusive(s).

The hilarious part is that if VMP did any of the 2LP titles (De-Loused for example) it would seem like a bargain compared to the Cloud Hills prices.

I was thinking that, too and that might actually be a point against De-Loused being an ROTM.

Same here, I'd probably cry if I had to listen to Deloused front to back.

I’m so excited for the next 3-month ROTM announcement! I’ve got an amazing feeling that the next three Essentials ROTM’s are going to be brilliant!!! ️

Super keen to see what the next three Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM’s will be! I was quite disappointed with the Freddie Gibbs and didn’t quite love the Nappy Roots picks! Hoping that I am surprised and love all the next three Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM’s!

Storf has me hyped up!!!

Meh if it's not Channel Orange (but I wouldn't say no to Kendrick).

I want Frank Ocean!!! I want Frank Ocean so bad!!! My vinyl life would be complete if we got exclusive high quality pressings of both Channel ORANGE and Blonde!

Saving this for later.

I’m very happy with my vinyl collection and can’t wait to refine my collection in the future, but I know if I got those two Frank Ocean studio albums on vinyl (great quality pressings), I would be overwhelmingly happy!

I would also really love a quality pressing of Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly! That would be spectacular too!!!
