Anyone else's USPS package tracking hasn't updated since Friday? I have two packages and both are not showing any change... like, not even a generic "your item is in transit" update or delivery estimate. Just frozen on the 4th.
So tempted to change the discogs image order for the VMP edition of Gabor Szabo's Dreams so that the cover with obi is the lead image, and just have the explanation be "wrong one first"
Whoa, I finally got ahold of the RSD edition of Nat Turner Rebellion and sure enough, it's on "fire red vinyl" despite zero marketing of it beforehand. It even comes with a download code! @gaporter@Sonicpharmacist
Sorry to be a buzzkill in the nightly profile posts, but tonight is among the worst in my life. If you can, please take a moment to hear the most wonderful, happy purr that will never be heard again.
Just spun my copy of Bitches Brew for the first time in a few years and... it's badly warped. Both records. wth was it always like that and I never noticed? Did my old turntable compensate for it where my new one doesn't? This sucks man.
I wish VMP/Now-Again translated the lyrics for Ayalew Mesfin's "Hasabe (My Worries)." From what little was translated in the Madlib video, it sounds like it'd be extremely relevant in 2020.
Got a super awesome deal on discogs: a 1978 Japanese reissue of Sonny Rollins' "Rollins Plays For Bird" for $10. The packaging is near mint and includes the OBI and insert. Why so cheap? Seller said the record was warped. Spinning it on my turntable right now and it's flat as a pancake and sounds perfect.
Just got a copy of Nat Turner Rebellion's 1971 single Can't Go on Living/Laugh to Keep from Crying single and... Can't Go On Living sounds different than what was on the VMP album? Different mix, maybe a completely different take? I got to listen to both carefully side by side...
