Agreed, I'm not generally a fan of live recordings on vinyl...but I'm also okay with everyone making them now, because I need to chill on buying records for a bit :)

I can understand this but there's definitely exceptions. Pulse sounds awesome on vinyl. Also the My Morning Jacket one. But I've definitely got some crummy sounding live albums on vinyl (Looking at you Of Montreal!)

This set looks awesome, but i already have decent pressings of all the original albums/EPs, so $100+ for the live set, demos and book...? I am definitely on the fence.

And it's so sad that the Of Montreal live album sounds like crap because their live show is so amazing! Definitely one of the best shows I've been to. Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Neil Young have some of the better live albums I've listened to on vinyl.

I think it depends on the group, too. Bands/groups that focus on recording live shows with good SBDs for the most part have really stellar live releases. But I can see how a live performance that doesn't always focus on capturing a live show with good sound quality can sound lackluster on vinyl.
 
I'll probably go with the VMP LNT unless the price is insane. Surprised they're announcing this one so close to the last

The write up:
You already know what this is, and I suspect, are losing your damn minds slamming that credit card info into your Shopify account. If you do happen to be reading this, I salute you, hope everything's good, remember to wear a mask, especially if your partying is running late and moody, like this album.

This is a serious question that may sound snarky, but are any GOF albums besides Entertainment! worth owning? It's the only one that I really know. I also wish the album they released in 2005ish where they re recorded a bunch of tracks was in this.

Solid Gold is fantastic and Songs of the Free is very underrated. You can't go wrong with those first three albums. Sorta just like Wire.

I feel like that was recycled from another recent release as well. So not only arrogant, but lazy AF.
 
I'm happy if artists I like are making money in the variant vinyl game, but for me, the more variants that emerge, the less I'm interested in purchasing. Figure I'll just wait for the album, and get it on black vinyl after I hear the entire stream. I've passed on a few records I normally would have preordered these past couple of weeks simply from variant exhaustion. For the artist's sake, I'm glad I'm not the target consumer.
