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

first sentence of this broke my brain

Yeah, it's faulty math, as 8 Deadheads wouldn't respond. 4 would be trippin' and surfin' the cosmos, 2 would be at a Panic concert, and the rest would all be referencing Dead live tapes they got in a trade.

on a positive note, got the furnace repress of the VMP Spiritualized Ladies and Gentlemen.....it's really damn good. Will have to compare to the first pressing they did but off memory, it sounds quite a bit better.

It took me a minute to get a clean copy of the OG, If I recall correctly me and @tvham traded discs so we were able to Frankenstein together two playable copies each but once I got good discs my copy sounded quite nice..

I went with the Broadcast exclusive and begrudgly the three classic ROTMs I don’t have because completism. Thankfully I fought the BN/GD box completism so I’ll call it a partial win

 

[NewsFedora]

I also got the Broadcast exclusive using this month's credit swap. If they were trying to get actual money from me, this attempt was a miss.

Why?

Why?

For the same reason people pay $50 for a spindle drill.

It’s a whole other superfluous step. Why add an intermediary stop between the jacket and the turntable?

Does it come in blue? That is my friends favourite colour and its his birthday

So there was a dude on YouTube who bought a different one that also had a drilling bit and he swore by it for this purpose. Basically the idea was that you could keep the music going longer but also if his wife hollered for him or something while he was transitioning between records, he could set it down and not worry about it.

I will say that sometimes I get a little hasty going from LP1 to LP2 of a double album and the diskeeper sleeves take some grace to get the disc into.

But also, if I’m trying to A/B something, this could be a nice tool to have.

im pretty sure VMP is on fire completely now


all their preordered are unlisted and when you click to order one of the new ROTMs it waitlisted.... that plus jillian was apparently taken off of the job so it seems like the work is basically dead

Jillian?

 

[duke86fan]

Jillian?

she was the cohost of the podcast

 

[MikeH]

Jillian?

She was in marketing. Clay was let go too.

Given that there are so many less releases, it sadly makes sense that those two positions would go in cutbacks. Sucks though.

Yea I weirdly don’t hate it. Could have used something like this many times. Not for that price but…

what´s the word on the blue note anthology 2nd edition. For that the sale seems tempting

Nicer jackets and packaging than the 1st one. Sound is great on the first pressing. Downside is that nearly all will probably be tone poets eventually
