Vinyl Me Please Essentials
- Thread starter Captainfog
- Start date
Honestly the 3 month period has me a little on the unsure side
Like yeah I really liked that tribe album but they know that's not the one we've been asking about so no midnight marauders
Aaliyah there is that question of if the estate is getting payed after the Spotify incident
And justice and Mgmt are nice but they are so basic picks
Also I feel like we will probably never get channel orange because of aaliyah being a bit too close (and channel orange is 10 years old soon so it might be the only chance)

Aaliyah would be a definite swap for me. Hoping the 1971 classics does turn out to be Shuggie Otis, 'cause I don't have a copy of Freedom Flight, and wouldn't mind picking it up here.
As for ATCQ, I don't really need that album, so might be a swap there too.
Would be okay with either MGMT or Justice, but yeah they're not exactly "holy fuck I can't believe they got that" sort of picks.

Justice's † is a pretty dang sick album. I think the current pressing is good though, I'm not sure how much VMP could find a way to improve on it for most listeners. Sounds like a pretty solid quarter overall even if they're not getting my money at this point.

I want Geto Boys - We Can’t Be Stopped over ATCQ.
It won’t happen but that’s what I want.

@frodo-pkt threw this out in the RHH thread and now it's the only choice!!! I love Tribe but feel like I could get Low End Theory anywhere for a good price like today! Oh and thinking VMP will improve on the current pressing while looking at a pile of Mars Volta, Outkast and Wu Tang records (shout out to all the PE records out there!) isn't exactly a selling point...
I'll take it..
Aaliyah is a classic in R&B, low end theory is very very good (RIP midnight marauders), and justice is also great

ATCQ/Geto Boys hype aside, let's take a moment of silence for another three months without a reissue of Funcrusher Plus...

Justice is a lock one album title is “no words” and “Cross” is actually a symbol kinda like “t” for a title.
Perfect thanks, I've been waiting on that one too. Should be a fun couple of months. IN THEORY

Yeah that last clue snafu makes Justice official. And I'm now pretty excited about April. Should be interesting to see what VMP does with it, though, as it just got pressed last year.

Someone on Reddit is riding hard for Kelis "Wanderland" and I'm not sure it's "essential" but it checks a lot of VMP boxes...

Wait..did they post a different clue to instagram or is this an old one we already had?

Different clue, speculated to be a week early by mistake. Because of course they made a mistake.

I think Survivor is a more likely pick than Aaliyah for April as Sony has been a frequent partner for many pop/r&b albums from that period (Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Shakira, J-Lo).
