Not strictly true, apparently the cut-off for replacements/refunds is 12 months, but to all intents and purposes that is basically unlimited yes...

Yeah J-Live would be a great shout… widely regarded as one of the most under appreciated hip-hop albums of all time… I suspect it might be a little too ‘underground’ for VMP though…

Hamilton, Ontario eh... I went to school there at McMaster some 20 odd years ago now... hosted a college radio show with Koushik (who went on to sign with Stones Throw) and a few other friends... good times...

Nathan, whilst I don't disagree with you that it's likely to be ATLiens and I'm also hoping for DU or Brand Nubian for the 1990 LP, you are massively overlooking the fact that BDP's Edutainment fits the 1990 clue perfectly if you are looking at it being the 4th or 5th album of a group's...

Given the MPS connection this might be of interest to some people on here (although I suspect the fact it's 45s will put most off)... MPS/SABA Complete 45 Series

If they give us Sex Packets and don’t do the full track list on double vinyl it will be a major faux pas… I’m very concerned about this given they probably don’t even realise the cassette has extra tracks!

Edutainment fits that perfectly, no?

Has 19 Naughty III been mentioned, that seems very much like a VMP record to me?

Hard to look past the Tommy Boy connection they seem to have so I'd say Digital Underground, Paris or interestingly Brand Nubian for 1990 (given Tommy Boy appear to have picked up the Brand Nubian licensing)... all of which would be incredibly strong releases but given Brand Nubian has recently...

I get that argument but I imagine most of these releases are locked in at least a year in advance so they aren't really in a position to react to feedback that quickly... I also think that Tommy Boy seems to be one of the few routes into 90's hip-hop that they have (maybe the majors are holding...

By my reckoning it's been 7 months since the last Tommy Boy album so we're probably overdue one... so I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the next 3 is Tommy Boy/Penalty... House of Pain, Digital Underground, Naughty by Nature and CNN would all be up there as candidates if that were the case

My thoughts exactly...

MC Solaar is what immediately sprang to mind for me but hard to label that as ‘essential’... but then again, as we’ve so often seen, essential rarely means just that!

For those who aren't aware... I'd be curious to know if VMP knew this was in the pipeline! Lord Finesse – The Awakening (2021, Colored Vinyl, Vinyl)

Not been to too many dinner parties where We Can't Be Stopped is the soundtrack... I live in hope...

If there’s an accolade higher than classic then this deserves it, one of the very best hip-hop albums of all time... no hip-hop collection is complete without it (I’m also curious as to how some of these Elektra reissues are showing up on Tommy Boy when Warner are still also putting out Elektra...

I remember picking up UGK, Missy and 21 Savage for 40 something bucks in a sale... looking at what they go for now I’m not complaining!

Seriously, why is it so hard for people to believe that a company that sells records to make money would want to sell records to someone... this is literally an e-mail I received from VMP around two years ago: "Hi My name is XYZ, and I'm the VP Finance of Vinyl Me, Please. I'm reaching out to...

VMP sent me a whoelsale order list which included their ROTMs a couple of years back... just saying... IIRC minimum order was 100 units of a given title...

The conversation seems to have quite quickly moved on from Lord Finesse which is a shame because he pretty much personifies hip-hop and has two absolute classic albums to his name which also introduced the world to the DITC crew... unfortunately VMP chose to release his 'other' album, which is...
