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

[Kris]

Keeping Soft Bulletin since I've always loved it and don't own a copy.

Trying to.choose what to swap for this month 's classics, which just isn't my thing. I have most things I've wanted from the past. Looking at: MF Doom, Froth, Joel Ross and Fist City.

They're all so different, and was curious about any feedback for those with any of these? Thanks!

Fist City is 45RPM and sounds fantastic.

The Songs For The Deaf drop in November seems to chime in nicely with this...

Coincidence?

Not at all. Look at the number of ROTM announcements that coincide with new albums, tour announcements, and movies. This is par for the course.

Can’t go wrong with either MM..FOOD or Fist City, they both sound great!

Use the customer service chatbox in the store.
When Sleater-Kinney was ROTM, I had already pre-ordered it from the band and decided that a) I didn't need two copies, and b) I wanted that Joel Ross. Joel Ross was NOT a Swaption, but CS made it happen for me in a matter of seconds!

Thanks for that! That worked really well and it was quick.

Added a couple to go along with the Lips. Hearing so much good about the Art Blakey, so going to grab that one. Not a huge jazz guy, but just went for a walk and it's great even streaming. Gonna pick up that Gorillaz too.

Spent the first part of the day re-listening to the two Lips exclusives. Went ahead and jumped on Mystics. It's a rock solid album.

Grabbed both Flaming Lips Exclusives and obviously stuck with all 3 ROTMs as usual. Assuming nothing gets delayed for me this month (HA!) my box is going to be 15 records. Oof.

Go with Doom, if for no other reason than it probably won’t survive swaps this month.

I already have Mystics, not really feeling Clouds today, at least not for $25.

Currently swapping for Isley Brothers...other two options are Eddie Floyd or Donald Byrd (Fancy Free)

Thoughts?

All three are great, but if you’re like me and try to play the game of “which is gonna sell out first,” then I’d swap for Isley Brothers this month, then do Floyd, and lastly get Byrd because that’s gonna be there for a good while.

queens of the Stone Age and Aretha confirmed for November and December!

The first five months of this year were my favorite stretch of VMP Essentials in a longgg time, and really embodied what I think the track should be about (I personally did NOT like the Van Morrison album but I respect the choice). That was followed by a longgg stretch of just straight-up meh. These last three months seem to be getting back to the glory of the beginning of the year. SFTD is an absolute blockbuster of a pick and is cause for celebration, and that Aretha Franklin album is... well it's Aretha fucking Franklin, c'mon man. I still am not planning on renewing my membership after the end of this year, but this is a wonderful note to bow out on

That was pretty much my thinking, plus I can imagine the other two possibly landing in a Bespoke deal at some point soon!

Got Angel Olsen and Sturgill Simpson for my swaps with The Flaming Lips.

Overall probably the best month I’ve ever had at VMP in regards to artists I love. Glad to hop back in for a month. And looks like I’ll be staying for QOTSA.

Pauly would not let me swap for sturgill because it does not ship before november. Consistent as usual.

Did someone read this?

So, You Signed Up And Are Wondering About How Vinyl Me, Please Works

Parts of it read rather comical. First they praise their eye for detail and then they lengthly talk about curated items in the store that do not exist anymore for months

Lol.... having #5 in there means this could be nothing

 

[Skacel]

Damn, back in for QOTSA.

A repress of Tidal is basically confirmed. Hopefully that coincides with her other albums as exclusives, but maybe they are taking "more Fiona" to just mean more Tidal pressed.

I'm actually pretty conflicted with my swaps right now. I currently still have it on Da Brat, which I do eventually want but also am fairly certain it will stick around for a while.

So maybe I should swap for William Bell or Experience Unlimited? And honestly I'm wondering if I should take a risk on Joel Ross... has ANYONE gotten a copy of it that wasn't messed up? I'm a bit more forgiving than some on quality issues, but just the sheer number of people here who previously reported problems with it has me extremely wary.
