Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Have you heard his other stuff? "Watermelon man" is his most famous thing by far (well and Mel brooks riffs on his name in "blazing saddles")

Yeah I am familiar with some of his other stuff, including Watermelon Man, but never heard this full album before now. Sounds fantastic!

In Herbie Hancock's autobiography, he talks about how the success of Mongo Santamaria's version benefitted him greatly. Herbie was one of the few musicians that retained rights to his music and I think I'm remembering correctly that he said Santamaria's version paid his bills for several years.

What?!? I signed back up for nothing? Where are the copies of Flight to Brazil, FutureSexx/LoveSounds, Telephone, Jazzmatazz Vol. 1, Cosmos' Factory, and Evil Empire I was promised?!?!

This but I'm not being sarcastic.

But seriously, for me, the Donna Summer and Jazz Dispensary titles would be the ones I'd make a beeline for if I didn't already have them. Although I'm assuming the titles won't be discounted prices, so Jazz Dispensary is gonna be something like $45 a pop which is still ridiculous.

More like Throwback to bed Thursday

I might try to snag one of the Jazz Dispensarys I'm missing. Either 'Sorcery' or the Leon Spencer.

Preview of tomorrow's TBT sale.

Welp. Looks like my wallet is safe.

The only one I’d be interested in is that Leon Spencer. But I didn’t feel like spending $45 on it then, and I don’t feel like spending $45 on it now.

Yeah, it's a great album but had I not swapped for it way back I wouldn't have it. To much $$$

FWIW the Idris Muhammad is very very good.

Agreed. I think that was the best of the Jazz Dispensary titles they put out.

Just to throw in another reference, the Jazz Dispensary releases are fantastic. I ended up getting all of them across the space of a few months through swaps/credit/etc and they are really well done.

I would say they are at the high end out what I personally would pay if I was to buy them outright and I assume these will be full-priced.

I think they were all fantastic, very well done. Tone Poet quality so worth the money in my book.

But if it is a Craft regular release it should get distribution up here in stores.

not surprised! shipping from most places to canada is crazy so VMP makes sense in a lot of ways if you are international.

but looks like this one will have a pretty wide release for US folks curious about it. i expect this will be in many other shops too. don't see anything about the regular release being limited.

Maybe. If I were to guess it'd clock in about $39 CAD + tax. Works out to around the same with tax, maybe still a bit cheaper.

Whatever works best, I think the point was more that you have options.

Yea--I almost bought the VMP one but am not a member so decided to search if this one would be available elsewhere or was a sclusie. I'll see if one of my locals or Plaidroom gets it in.

Reddit seems convinced there'll be more in the TBT stock. I'm pretty sure that preview tweet is gonna be everything the same way their swaps previews show everything available...

I think Section 80 and Channel Orange will definitely be there this time.
