Damn, someone needs to do a spreadsheet to keep track of the different pressings, masterings and plates.
I snagged the yellow TMR Detroit Edition version with the screenprinted jacket from the TMR Rolling Record Store years ago.I've got the TMR RSD 2LP Detroit Edition and it sounds great and includes a bunch of the Cale mixes on the second disc. I'd recommend that version to anyone interested. Chris Bellman cut the second disc of bonus tracks so I wouldn't be surprised if he also did this full Cale Mix LP for VMP...

So I'm assuming I can probably skip this month's essentials.
Same here - no Stooges in my collection so this is a great pick for me, alternate mix or otherwise. Would have been pretty cool if they had done a 2xLP release with both mixes, but NBD...I’m into this pick. I don’t have any Stooges so I’m different than some of you. But listening to the mixes on Spotify, I’m fine with the more stripped down tone. I also like the track listing being different. Or maybe, I just don’t care since I’m not used to it being the way it was released.
I agree with the 2nd part of this statement but I think it’s a super strange choice as VMP main release. I, also don’t have any Stooges records in my collection and would by super excited if you gave me a quality pressing of the released mix as the ROTM and then included the Cale mix either as a bonus 2nd LP or offered as an instore exclusive. As is, I am likely going to either swap this out or just grab the other 2 tracks for this month and maybe use the $26 that I save to purchase a copy of the Rhino reissues. I would not spin the alternate mix enough to justify the shelf space and there is no good reason to order an alternate mix when that money could go towards something more, dare I say, “essential”.Same here - no Stooges in my collection so this is a great pick for me, alternate mix or otherwise.

I like it I’m going to pick it up one of these days , assuming it’s not actually sold out.Maybe I'm alone in this but I think this Caroline Rose album is fantastic. An incredibly pleasant listen. Sure, you can argue the semantics of if it's Essential. I'm happy with it.
I can almost guarantee you this record will not sell out. (Or at the very least will be like $20 on Discogs in a few months)I like it I’m going to pick it up one of these days , assuming it’s not actually sold out.

I think most of the new release essentials wind up dirt cheap on Discogs. Case in point, the new Sleater-Kinney record starts at $12.50 and there are 66 of them listed Sleater-Kinney - The Center Won't Hold (Vinyl, US, 2019) For Sale | Discogs
I'm not positive on this, but IIRC, last month you could swap all 3 tracks to the same ROTM if you wanted.Anyone still in the club who's willing to get Stooges Cale Mixes and sell to me, I am interested. I have a friend who's still a member who is trying to get two, don't know if that's possible.
If I miss it, I can certainly wait until the secondary market, someone will get bored of it and put it up for sale. For me it's a curio, I do have lots of Stooges in my collection already. (LOL at the Three Stooges in this pic)

This is correct.
@djdavedk - Let me see what swaps are, etc, and I will let you know ASAP about this.
As long as it's the same as last month, yup. He could pick his ROTM, add the other tracks and then swap em' for the same. Have him try that and if it doesn't work, I may grab Stooges for my ROTM and could be open to selling it but I want to see swaps first. Keep me posted!If that's the case, my buddy can add a track and get me one for 23, right?
lol, I actually fully agree with this statement. But great new-release Essentials (like Mitski's latest) are also like $15 on Discogs and there are dozens of them for sale.Mainly because the newest Sleater-Kinney isn't that good. (ducks)
