I don't want to join but that Across the Universe... 🔥
Not sure if this is the best place to be posting this but does anyone know of anyone looking for Across the Universe? I signed up for the 3 month sub to secure Thug Life & BOBS (I’m a hip-hop head, sue me lol) but I have no interest nor need for the Across the Universe… would totally be okay with selling it for 1/3 of the 3 month membership price plus shipping just to break back even for that portion of the sub I don’t care for. Happy holidays!
 
Not sure what I'm getting, but as a "Day-one" member (who's been subbed for the full first year) they said that I'll be getting some special gifts shipped to me soon.

Did anyone else get that email? Who wants to bet it's like a postcard thank you and a sticker or a magnet. Or both!
 
A year ago I would have agreed with you. Now? Meh. Neither is that good, but this at least delivers.
yes although wasn’t IVC late with a release too? VMP goes the extra mile with sound and cuts with real engineers but QC is often bad and store drops are always late now. Shame both are pretty bad as IVC does some cool titles

Only one this year was late late. 10 of them shipped on the first of the month for me. 1 shipped by the 5th.

I definitely agree on the quality of the cuts, except I've had way more QC issues with VMP than I have on these. And a couple of them have been really quality, while others have been mediocre represses with subpar plates.

If VMP had this catalog and their shit together there's no question they'd trounce IVC. But they don't and this at least has had a couple titles I've been after that I can't get elsewhere. Like the Across the Universe. I've wanted this for years.
 
I think this might be a new cut if I'm reading this right.

JANUARY’s Vinyl DR. OCTAGON “Dr. Octagonecologyst” IVC Edition

For IVC15, we are proud to present Dr. Octagon's Dr. Octagonecologyst IVC Edition!

Dr. Octagonecologyst is the 1996 underground hip-hop, concept album by Dr. Octagon, an alter ego of hip-hop legend Kool Keith (Ultramagnetic MCs, Dr. Dooom, Black Elvis, Dr. Ultra). Dr. Octagonecologyst introduces the character of Dr. Octagon, a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist, and surgeon. Kool Keith’s eccentric and often bizarre lyrics explore themes of medicine, space travel, and oddball characters, creating a distinctive sound that redefined underground hip-hop. The abstract and often outrageously comedic storytelling is perfectly complimented by complex, futuristic beats produced by Dan the Automator (Handsome Boy Modeling School, Gorillaz, Deltron 3030) and genius turntablism by the legendary DJ Q-Bert.


It's hard to exaggerate the role that Dr. Octagon played in revitalizing underground hip-hop. Dr. Octagon represented the first truly new, genuine alternative to commercial hip-hop and continues to gain popularity as a true hip-hop cult classic.

Presented as a 2LP with a gatefold jacket for the first time, the vinyl is pressed on bone with red splatter and bone with black splatter vinyl. The album includes the bonus tracks “Bear Witness (Automator's 2 Turntables And A Razor Blade Re-Edit)”, “Blue Flowers (Automator Remix)”, “3000 (Automator 1,2 Remix)”, and “Blue Flowers (Prince Paul’s ‘So Beautiful’ Mix)”.

As a FREE bonus, the album comes with a limited-edition, turntable slipmat featuring the cover art image by
the artist, Pushead.
 
Bonus freebies for day one members. I know you're so gonna be really jealous of this expensive ass felt mat.

And I don't need another tote, but this is a nice high quality one and it's a good size to carry records, so I'm into this one. Would have rather a free record, but at least I can use this. Front and Back photos.
