I’m fully expecting new cover art, and have been speculating that might have been one of the reasons for the holdup.

That’s actually a clever trick with the image link. It might be something to experiment with when we’re trying to figure out ROTMs.

Hahah. That’s awesome!! How old is he? The only way I can get mind to listen is by watching a stream. Sometimes he’s all about it but most of the time not.

I must be out of the loop. Where are these hints dropping?

I’m so thrilled over the 
that we are going to be getting one of the best albums of the 90’s - Fiona Apple’s When The Pawn!♟
♟
I am so excited to wake up early and grab a copy! Having a high quality pressing of this is going to be AMAZING!!!
I think VMP have been doing a wonderful job with their variety of exclusives as of late! So much gems they’ve been releasing and When The Pawn will be the peak of it!

Little underwhelmed by the new album art. I get why it was changed, but still kind of wish it included the full title in all of its glory.
@TCell has a direct line to The Man himself.

Can someone explain the hype around When the Pawn... and Tidal, aside from the fact they'd never been pressed on vinyl?
I immediately clicked with Fetch the Bolt Cutters, but I find these earlier albums to be a lot less accessible.

He's 8.
Right now, it's The Wipers or Phish. He's got fairly eclectic tastes -- Squarepusher, Arthur Russell, Aesop Rock, Eric Dolphy -- but I'm just surprised how quickly they are surpassing everything.
He's doing an air guitar solo right now.

I connected more to Idler Wheel, but for the opposite reason. The early stuff has a dated 90s production style in my opinion. They were trying to make her more accessible and it was all over MTV. When I finally saw her perform those songs live as more raw, stripped down versions, that's when she won me over.
When The Pawn is just something they've been teasing for the last 3 years. That's part of why it's become such a big deal, beyond needing a vinyl release and people simply enjoying it.

Strange take. Cool though! The introspective lyrics click with a lot of people, maybe a little more fleshed out, and the instrumentals are kinda quirky but really groovy, thanks to her piano work. In some ways Fetch the Boltcutters is what happens when she lets go of the need to tame and groom her own work, which has apparently not worked for some very visable people but works a charm for most. Do listen to The Idler Wheel if you haven't though; it's her first go at producing herself and bridges the gap between the first three albums and FtBC.

Um no, what? Go read the Amazon reviews of everybody losing their shit over Idler wheel when it came out, referring to it as unlistenable It's not more accessible than something like Tidal. "First Taste" sounds like a Sade song. There's a reason they blasted her all over MTV in the 90s.
Or, are you explaining that my own experience with her is inaccurate? Don't post condescending shit to me
gosh dang you for calling me back into the vmp threads
oddly enough- today I received an email.
from VMP.
about the RHH add-on for a subscription I no longer have.
I had last used the add-on to buy El-P for another member in February, and last sub album of any kind was Blackalicious in March. checked my bank, was indeed charged. what the fuck?
I cancelled my annual sub when the old place closed down, but didn't bother asking for a refund and let it run out, occasionally adding an album on. got this email when it expired, and my membership page started looking like so-
but now I apparently exist in the ether with a $23 month-to-month RHH sub. these fuckers.

Apparently nothing for Extraordinary Machine yet. Which is fine, but now it'd be almost absurd to not do it. BUT, best not to get hopes up for no reason, it'll probably be another three years of rights navigation anyway.Is this one an old image?

Fiona says she hated the original album art and got PT Anderson’s permission to change it.

Nice sleuthing. Just when I had let my membership lapse too. I wonder if it'll be unlimited.

I'm curious what it will look like tomorrow. When The Pawn isn't even the full title and that looks like a pretty shoddy mockup as a place holder
