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

I wasn't going to, but after listening for 10 minutes, I need that Rowland S. Howard. That sound/aesthetic is a weakness of mine.
Mmmmmmmmmm I feel you! That‘s with me and many of the Classics ROTM’s! Especially Al Green, Blossom Dearie, Art Blakey, Archie Shepp, Alice Coltrane, B.B. King, William Bell, Darrell Banks, Carla Thomas, Little Milton and KoKo Taylor!

And the Mavis Staples and Aretha Franklin and De La Soul and Van Morrison and Flying Lotus and Jorge Ben and Experience Unlimited ROTM’s!
 
Excellent! Anything in particular? I can link you to my discogs... it should be pretty current.


I enjoyed looking at your collection! Can tell that you love your pop!!! 💯

The top 3 records in there you had that I really wanted was the VMP edition of NxWorries’ Yes Lawd!!!, the VMP edition of Little Simz’ Stillness in Wonderland and the VMP edition of Father John Misty’s Pure Comedy! 💎

Nice that you also have Rihanna’s Anti and Azealia Banks’ Broke Without Expensive Taste! 🙂
 
Your entire Bjork collection.... jk. I'll take a look.

Ah!!! I'd feel violated!!

How attached are you to your copy of Blossom Dearie?

I do like that one quite a bit, but let's do it. It's yours. It's open, played less that five times, no issues with it, clean and in master inner sleeve. Pm me. I'm not sure how this works.

I always knew you and I have very similar tastes!
 
Damn VMP. I cancel and then a week or so later they announce a Rowland S Howard record. But I think I will takes my chances with Fat Possum on the black vinyl instead and hopefully have less shipping issues.
There are quite a few variants. And for what it’s worth, you can likely still order it from VMP. Lots of people who are not currently members have been able to order member exclusives lately as long as you have even a member since the migration.
 
Looks like Now-Again are starting to release the Oneness of Juju records which are 'exclusive' to VMP. Starting off with the Live At The East 1973. Worth picking up for those that are interested.

Juju – Live At The East 1973 | Sounds of the Universe

Aaaah! Finally :)

EDIT:

Now-Again Records presents limited edition deluxe reissues of the lauded Black Fire catalog In 2020. First up in the series, this previously unreleased live session recorded at the legendary Brooklyn venue The East in 1973. Magical, mystical, Afrocentric, progressive, words that could be used to describe any number of musical compositions by Sun Ra or his cosmic brothers and sisters, from John to Alice Coltrane, early '70s projects on record labels like Detroit's Tribe or Houston's Lightin' or the interests of one Washington, DC native named Jimmy Gray that centered under one, perfect moniker: Black Fire. Gray spent nearly three decades pushing boundaries as a Black American promoter, distributor and, finally, record label owner. Together with Juju's leader James Plunky Nkabinde Branch, Gray oversaw sixteen releases on Black Fire Records between 1975 and 1996. These are the definitive reissues of five of the label's key titles; all were lacquered, most directly from master tape by legendary Los Angeles mastering engineer Bernie Grundman, With this set, Juju and Black Fire's story burns forth into its fifth decade, its message not tempered, its sound pure. It's cycle, once again, complete. Each release is packaged in a thick, tip-on sleeve and includes a deluxe booklet with extensive notes on the album, the Black Fire collective, and the musical and cultural revolution they created. Limited edition, one time pressing.

So we can imagine they will reissue all four Juju's + Experience Unlimited's album?
