Yeah it’s been awhile since I threw it on but I recall it sounding quite good too.

I found a copy through juno records around 2 months ago, and it wasn't cheap (36 GBP)
it was still sealed and it was the 2010 Polysom pressing.
totally satisfied and have played it a ton since (the whole family loves it).
I've just checked and it's no longer available, but you can get a notification when it comes back...

I’m really curious to read some comparisons from those who are double dipping. Especially against the most recent issue which I would suspect is from the same master since “original tapes” rarely means AAA anymore.

For comparison notes, I do have an original 76 press from Brazil.
I have not heard the 2010 reissue so I won’t be able to reference that.
I was lucky enough to strike up a relationship through eBay with a collector in Brazil and I sent him Blue Notes and he sent me old Brazilian records

After finally finishing up side 2 I think this release was worth it as a US buyer with no other copies. Short of finding a 2010 copy at a local record store (which I couldn't) it looks like that or an "okay" condition OG copy will cost like $60-$70 at the cheapest after shipping, and for the OG copy that would be a VG that's "basically a VG+".

This is new, looks like when they were pasting on the outside of the jacket one of the corners on mine got stuck.

Since we've known what August Essentials is for a while now, the hype is dying down. We need a new single, quick!
Also, the album is coming out mid-month. Do we know yet if we have to wait until the album release date for our boxes to ship? That would certainly suck.

Good question! How has VMP done this in the past? I was a member when Mitski came out but I can’t recall what the timeline was.

If I recall St Vincent was mailed out within the regular time frame but people did receive it before the official street date.
If you preorder from Sub Pop they regularly ship stuff to you before the street date. Today was the official release date for the new Kyle Craft and I've had mine for 2 weeks.

I just always assumed that was cuz Sub Pop mailed all the pre orders out at approximately the same time and since we live nearby and it only had to go by local mail, we got it earlier but someone in Pensacola Florida might not get it until the actual release date.

Well, if SK is indeed the Essentials ROTM it'll be another swap for me.

I keep meaning to buy the Lapsley one. It's a very underrated album, and for less than $10, there's no reason not to grab it.

I personally think that Låpsley album already sounds outdated! I understand why it hasn’t sold out and why it goes for so cheap on Discogs. It definitely isn’t an Essential album in my opinion

I just picked up City Music for $13 shipped on Discogs. Defintiely don’t waste a swap on that, although it is a great album.I wouldn’t waste your swaps on those albums when they’re so much cheaper to just buy on discogs
