I've got to get better with these clues...

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Here's your clue for VMD Mach II 10-2023...

As I was feebly unable to initially recognize and read each winner's Discogs entries, this month's record is changing since one winner already owns my initial choice. We'll save it for another month.

Here's your corrected clue for October 2023...

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Gonna try and stay a bit ahead of the month on shipping since we have an international winner and there may be some delays. Planning on getting these out first of next week.

October records are headed to loving new homes.

Any guesses? Not you @avecigrec.

If you haven't already, like the first post to get in on the next drawing in a couple weeks.

Not too far off base as everything @Yer Ol' Uncle D picks are always Bangerz

Ok, here we go....
I didn't read about this beforehand.
I know Dave Alvin, and I have some Yep Roc stuff, but other than that, I'm going in cold.

Thanks again for your generosity @Yer Ol' Uncle D

I'll report back with my thoughts....

 

[TrainFan73]

That's a mighty fine album there.

Guess I can delete the reveal post I had ready...

So uhhh, I wasn't sure how it all worked. I felt rude for not giving feedback yet and had a free night so I spun it.
Sorry dude.

No sweat, man. There aren't really any rules per se. We're making this thing up as we go.

It's a fun record. I hope y'all like it.

First impressions are great...it's right up my alley. I hear everything from Eddie Hazel to All Them Witches. Can't wait to listen again, probably tomorrow with a couple friends that are coming by.

Please post your reveal post, I'd like to hear why you chose it.

When I opened the box I immediately recognized the art as being by Tony Fitzpatrick, which had me instantly intrigued because I knew it wasn't a Steve Earle record. Seeing that there was an Alice Coltrane cover only increased my curiosity and excitement.

I was only familiar with Dave Alvin in name alone before this - I have an album by his brother Phil that includes Sun Ra & The Arkestra on a few numbers.

I listened to my copy twice over the weekend and enjoyed it immensely. I'll try and get to a more proper write-up listen over the next couple days - getting up and down has been unpleasant while I kick this sick, so I've not been spinning much the past few days. I can say, though, that this album is another prime example I love this place - it's not something I'm likely to have stumbled upon myself and is something I'm really glad to now know.

Thanks again @Yer Ol' Uncle D for knocking it outta the park with your generosity and taste!

I was thinking this would probably be right up your alley on my first listen!

Will spin for our 3 November winners next Sunday Night. Like the first post and you're eligible to win for the next 11 months.
