Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[dhodo]

Yeah, I definitely do enjoy some rock from the 90’s! I really enjoyed the Slowdive “Pygmalion” exclusive, Bratmobile “Pottymouth” exclusive too and I really like PJ Harvey and enjoy some rock albums such as Spiritualized’s Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space, Radiohead’s OK Computer and My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless.

So I think there’s a strong chance I will enjoy the 90’s Rock Essential ROTM

Oh man I would love for it to be that Spiritualized. Or Pulp, Different Class. Both need a good reissue. Heard the EU Pulp one isn't bad but haven't bothered to import and VMP could do the original cover design.

I was about to jump in and say that 'To Bring You My Love' is the one 90s PJ Harvey record that is easy and cheap to get but as already noted it seems to have gone out of print. I'm sure I passed over copies at about £12.99 multiple times over the last couple of years!


It's a three hour long album so even if it's re-pressed on 12" rather than 10" you're still looking at it taking up 4 LPs.

I know but it’s on 6 10” now haha! It’s a pipe dream really and I should just get the version out there haha!

Other possible 90’s rock albums in need of reissue (wishful thinking):
Verve Pipe - Villians
Dave Matthews- BTCS
Collective Soul — S/T

Loveless would get me back. That said Kevin Shields has standards. Also at the speed he works they’d have had to get sign off about 10 years ago and they didn’t exist then.

So October is 90s Alt Rock and November is “the most metal album since sabbath”

I'm hoping it's Tool. Any Tool. Especially with the rumors of repressing the back catalog. I'd personally love Ænema or Lateralus.

EDIT: plus the timing of a new album...

This is exactly what I'm thinking. 90s. Metal. Doesn't have other color variants. Tool vinyl pressing is still looming. Undertow or Ænema both fit the criteria.

So if I'm right (and I hope I am), we'll get either Fashion Nugget or Motorcade of Generosity by Cake next month and Ænema in November. Awesome!

 

[forkandspoon]

Anyways, we have the VMP Motown Anthology Set being released soon,

@NathanRicaud, at the risk of a rsr, is this confirmed?

 

[bettim84]

PJ Harvey (any of the four 90s albums that are in play, though preferably not To Bring You My Love) followed by Tool (Ænima or Lateralus) would be fantastic.

But yeah we’re probably getting Meredith Brooks and Adema.

That was the first CD I ever bought! My friend Bryan and I lip synced High Enough for the school talent show that year.

I'm not holding my breath, but that combo would certainly skyrocket 2019 into one of VMPs best years, despite some of the other picks from this year.

I couldn't agree more (both on your critique of the year thus far and the big catches they will have had if those are actually the picks)

 

[Sebastian]

VMP is the new Geico. They’ve saved me so much money on vinyl this year.

 

[gaporter]

I'd love Ænima but if they were seriously doing Tool, knowing them, I feel like they'd be hyping it up a lot more. Then again it seems like a 2019 VMP move to hype something like the Roots album you can get for $13 up astronomically and then act like Tool is some low key ROTM pick

 

[chrb98]

October ROTM is 90s rock, and November is "the most metal ROTM since Black Sabbath"? That gives VMP not one, but TWO opportunities to do Alice In Chains's self-titled album (AKA 3-Legged Dog album). Hasn't ever been reissued, goes for $100+ on Discogs. C'mon VMP, I know you've faltered, but take this opportunity to do a ROTM with the best grunge band

Watch Nov be Nevermind.

Watch Nov be Nevermind.

I still don't own it so fine. Better than Hole.

 

[bdm105]

Also Cake "Fashion Nugget" would almost be a Demon Days or Fiona big get.

 

[bettim84]

Nirvana was my first favorite band but I don’t think Nevermind is miles ahead of Live Through This. I’d welcome either as ROTM.

For the record, the “most-metal-since-Sabbath” VMP belt currently belongs to Queen.

Also Cake "Fashion Nugget" would almost be a Demon Days or Fiona big get.

Certainly bigger than Gorillaz in my book. Comfort Eagle too. Or Prolonging the Magic.
