It would indeed.

I would love a special pressing of I Am Not Afraid of You (which I'm almost ashamed to admit not already having), but I feel like if they were going to do Destroyer as an Essential they would've picked Kaputt, which is an album they've highly touted the past via an Exclusive and a magazine...

Flying Lotus' Cosmogramma came after, I believe. VMP is definitely overdue for another electronic release, though.

Nobody seems to be talking about Pieces of the People We Love by The Rapture so far. Released in 2006, tough to find on vinyl, and more than worthy of the Essentials treatment. It also seems like a good fit for VMP, too. Would love to see this happen.

Wondering if I'm the only one NOT seeing Soul Makossa in the swaptions this month? Doesn't appear to be sold out.

Am I crazy, or is Soul Makossa not available for swaps this month? Doesn't look like it's sold out either.

Did your copy have the same sibilance problems that mine did? It's almost unlistenable at times. Though yeah, the packaging was was top notch.

Yep, looks like the cat is very much out of the bag for the August Essentials pick. And now I'm totally getting stoked for some new Sleater-Kinney jams. That's a very big get for VMP.

Not a bad guess. On second look, Jay Som might fit the bill too. We shall see.

I don't disagree about them being past prime (and I'd argue they barely even had one). Just remembering how big a deal VMP made about that 10th Anniv of Rhumb Line exclusive they had. Not sure I really see anything else coming out in August that jibes any better?

Safe bet it's gonna be Ra Ra Riot, too.
