I want none of the current ROTMs so I swapped my primary for Al Green. I don't have it yet and I heard it sounds good. Out of all the swaps, excluding those I already have, that is the one I think I would play the most.

Co-signed. One of my all-time favorite Classics, and that's saying a lot.

Swapped Classics for The Doors. Nothing against the release, but like others have mentioned not a big vocal jazz fan and doesn't have the immediate familiarity like Blossom.
Now I need to find something to swap NEXT month's Classics for...

I was able to swap for Blackalicious, but I think I’m dropping all of the other tracks and just making this a one month sub. I really have no interest in anything else until Modest Mouse hits.
For me personally, this is easily the weakest quarter since I joined in 2019.

Swapped Sigur Ros (already have it) for that Joe Henderson. Will probably keep classics and drop country this month. I think the Dement will stick around a while so may use that for a future swap.

When did VMP do Cassandra Wilson? Or do you mean Claudia Thompson?
Yes lol, I keep getting their names jumbled in my brain.
In hands - sounds wonderful! Packaging is alright, it’s a gatefold but one of the cheapy flimsy chunky spine ones. They did a good job on this one, a lovely true exclusive! Will pair nicely with the Barbara Bea next month

(Daptone Soul Revue record unrelated)
Also received my Claudia Thompson and am happy to say that it sounds phenomenal.
Somehow not surprise how the hype sticker incorrectly says limited to 1000 even though the foil stamp on the back says out of 500. All jokes aside, how is this not sold out yet?!

Someone mentioned Blossom Dearie as an album that got initially overlooked early and I can see this being the same deal. Once reddit starts telling people how great it is you'll see it sell out and people start paying dumb discog prices. Not a well known artist so people likely couldn't be bothered to even stream a song or two.

Album sounds fantastic. I'm still fascinated by the story of the album itself and its rediscovered photos. Inside the gatefold is the handwritten message Claudia wrote on her headshot, dated 12/14/1959: "Here is the album. I hope you will enjoy it and be able to do something with it. I will be waiting to hear from you."
Such a melancholy, unfinished tale. It actually matches the songs of loss and breaking up pretty well.
Claudia, wherever you are, I hope you did find happiness. I also hope that maybe around the holidays you would occasionally pull out this album to play to your grandkids, to show them how you once were a music star.

Just got my Buck Owens self-titled exclusive and noticed a typo on the cover. The last song is listed as "I'll Take Chance on Loving You" instead of "take A chance"

Looks like it's not just exclusive to VMP's version. The clear Sundazed reissue also is missing the "a", at least according to Discogs.
