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...
Found a complete, used copy of the Wells Fargo album at the local store today for about $13 so that was a pleasant surprise.
For the first time uh, ever, I think... I'm going to sub to all three ROTM tracks this month. Aretha and the Roots were no-brainers and after a couple of listens to El-P, I think I'll get it now rather than take my chances and hope it lasts a month or two down the road for swaps. Definitely VMP's overall strongest month in quite a while, maybe since March of last year.
Alright, that opening track to Mr. Hands, Spiraling Prism: does that bassline remind anyone else of Chrono Trigger or is it just me?
My January ROTM arrived today, as did two other records I bought in late December. Could it be possible Vinyl Me Please may have turned a corner?
Been on a Donald Byrd kick lately. Picked up an OG pressing of "Street Lady" for 15 bucks yesterday and it's fantastic. I can see why some people were hoping this would be the VMP pick for Classics.
Against my better judgment, I went and bought Labi Siffre and Townes Van Zandt's Our Mother the Mountain. The 20% off code helped with that, at least.
I took off my side sub though, so I'm only getting Mr. Hands from the ROTMs this month. My long-term future with them is on thin ice.
A Charlie Brown Christmas is a Christmas album that I have zero problem playing any time of the year.
Yoooo y'all guess where I'm gonna be next April...
I bought Johnny Griffin's "A Blowing Session" late last year right before it sold out and listened to it a handful of times. But I've recently gone back and started listening to it some more and hot damn, is it blowing me away (no pun intended). Just some jazz legends absolutely killing it.
Against my better judgment, I'm currently swapping for Joel Ross.
This might be premature, but I'm thinking of pruning next month down to my main track only (RHH). And I'll probably swap if it's Da Brat. I kind of want it, but chances are it'll stick around for a while. She can go to the bottom of my to-swap list.
My backlog is looking like this, although I'm kind of on the fence about Sister Rosetta:
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Experience Unlimited
Wells Fargo
Eddie Floyd
Jorge Ben
Slight-ish update on my futile quest of finding more Nat Turner Rebellion songs:
From the Vinyl Me Please Classics thread
I thought there might be some crossover interest in another niche hobby of mine... rom hacking and retro gaming.
More info here
I have a feeling enough people will swap out Hud Dreems for it to make an appearance in the store next month, but I'm not gonna take a risk and will keep it.
I still wanna grab an album from my backlog so I currently have Essentials swapped for Clipse. I don't think that one will be around much longer.
My current backlog:
Little Milton
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Experience Unlimited
Wells Fargo
Eddie Floyd
Jorge Ben
New month, new ROTM announcements, new list of future swaptions, probably in this order:
Little Milton
Clipse
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Wells Fargo
Experience Unlimited
Eddie Floyd
Jorge Ben
I gave up Method Man for Lightmen this month. Honestly, I kind of hope another Bespoke Post VMP box is in the pipeline with several of the above records included as options. That box they put out this month ruled lol
My Bespoke Post box came today. Four VMP records for under $30 total is a pretty sweet deal, y'all
Like with Nat Turner, it looks like I’m one of the lucky ones and will receive OutKast with no delay. Funny if I wasn’t a member of the forums I’d never know all the shipping issues VMP has.
Posting this here for personal future reference. My current VMP backlog to grab up as future swaptions, roughly in this order:
The Lightmen Plus One
Little Milton
Clipse
Experience Unlimited
Wells Fargo
Eddie Floyd
Of course if the new Mr. Bongo bundle or TLC survive to swaps, I'll have to push these back accordingly... -
