Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[tvham]

did anyone get Same Trailer, Different Park yet and is it in any way an upgrade over what's currently available to the masses?

Ok, listening now and it sounds really good despite not having cleaned it yet. I'd say definitely an upgrade over the black copy I have. The packaging is really nice, too.

Out for delivery notice! I wasn't really interested in this album, but I'm looking forward to giving it a spin either which way.

i want the drugs they serve at VMP headquarters

“Santeria” is essentially an update of Willie’s own “Red Headed Stranger,” but where the latter song is told through a haze of gunsmoke, the former is about regret, and frustration, and feeling powerless and unloved.

I think I'll swap this Sublime for credits since I have it, and use those to get the $5 at the door Sublime!

I guess I don't need the art print. There's such a huge devoted scene of artists around Socal that do Sublime stuff. They've used them for some of their RSD stuff that I figured they'd dip into that well for this. Would have been a better story. Looks like it's just the drunk clown picture from the cd booklet.

I NEED to know the other two CDs

“It’s hard to remember when this Sublime project got its start, because my own personal history with the band is as long as this album has been out: I got this CD from Columbia House when my parents let me pick out three CDs in 1996,” said VMP Director of Music Andrew Winistorfer.

I NEED to know the other two CDs

My guess is Tool would be one of them

 

[I’m Just Ken]

Even at my peak of weed smoking, I would never have smoked 14 joints. Because that’s a lot of weed. Unless you’re rolling pinners.

 

[MadLucas]

Swapped for Fucked Up.

Can anyone report on the quality of the Leland Whitty record? Considering it as a swap.

 

[Gavaxeman]

Got rid of that skater punk nonsense for a bit of Miles Davis ..much more appropriate

That Otis is a great album. I thought it was gone forever so grabbed an OG from Japan a couple of years ago but you won’t be disappointed by it.

The Sublime record is about 7 or 8 songs too long. The first half of the record is strong but the second half is garbage minus Caress Me Down and Doin Time. I realize a lot will think the whole album is garbage and that is fine too. But it would be a lot better album with about 10 songs.

I too am curious to know.

@scotthilk might know more than me. But was the album released as planned before Bradley's death or did he die and they released everything?

It was released a few months after he passed.

I’m conflicted about the upcoming SRV album. Growing up in Texas, he was WAY overplayed on my local classic rock station, so I got bored with him at an early age. But that was a long time ago… maybe I’d appreciate him now? I’ll stream it a few times and see…

For this month, swapped for Odetta. Probably in for Death Cab… it’s in my wheelhouse…

So was the tracklist set before he passed or did he go and they went with everything they had?
