No sorry, the Etta James Sings Funk exclusive

Mine just arrived today. I'm hoping to give it a spin tonight and can report back. It's packaged in a loose sleeve which is nice.

I cancelled as well. I had the one year bridge with JLH swapped for Essentials add on. before cancelling. Honestly, I think it was the right call. Those still with VMP, all the power to you but it's just not for me anymore. Agreed with the above comment as I too went with the "f u c k storf"...

The weight of the record, in this case 180g vs 140g, should never be the deciding factor in which pressing is better. The weight of the record does not impact its sound. Since MOV tends to use digital sources and various mastering engineers (sometimes amazing, sometimes just okay), I would give...

Agreed. I'm all for bashing VMP when it makes sense. In this case, it's clearly not their decision. I would expect the usual delays with this but their estimated ship date is in line with Fleet Foxes

PRESSED AT GZ hahahahahahahaha

I can't wait to see the "pressed at GZ just for @Mather " in fine print on the bottom of the release page

I can see them releasing the harder to get or never pressed before individually later

I was thinking I might go for this but since I own a good chunk of these in audiophile quality already, that's a hard pass

For you Johnny Cash fans, I picked up Orange Blossom Special on the Exhibit label (I had never heard of them before), pressed at QRP remastered by Kevin Gray. It's fairly inexpensive but it's an amazing pressing. I picked it up on a whim based on QRP and KG and it does not disappoint. If you're...

My is also quiet and plays well. They seem to have given up on giving you warped records that you could fix and instead given you records that you would need to Frankenstein to fix. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD NEXT!!!

Definitely a fair amount of distortion near the end of side A but it sounded like it was from the recording not the warp. It’s still worth getting even with the distortion, it kinda adds to it in a weird way

I just got the Louis Armstrong meets Oscar Peterson new pressing from the Acoustic Sounds Series. It’s a gatefold and came shrink wrapped very very tight and is pretty warped. Oddly, it plays fine but man was I pissed when I saw how tight that wrap was. Be aware that this is a thing. Hopefully...

Is anyone interested in the Nat Turner Rebellion release? I bought it as an impulse buy without thinking, it's essentially the same as the VMP release. Happy to sell at cost, don't want to hassle my local store with a return. DM me if interested

My thoughts exactly. Nothing here of interest :)

Is anyone else getting weird emails from VMP saying “welcome to the club”?

5 pm ET (which is 4 pm CT for us in the middle of NA)

So I realized that I made a bad swap as Texas Gentlemen is in stock in the store for $4 less than if I swapped an add on for it.... cancelled the add on, bought it from the store... I’m not sure if this is an error or not but if it is, be on the lookout for random restocks of old exclusives

I got Texas Gentlemen, was debating Plantasia but waited too long as there were too many good options

Just a heads up for Jazz friends: Ella - The Lost Berlin Tapes is now up for pre-order on Amazon (Canada) Ryo Fukui - in New York and A Letter from Slowboat (We Release Jazz pressings) are also up for pre-order on Amazon (Canada)
