About Wu-Tang :
This Studio 4 Vinyl Signature Series™ is an audiophile-grade, collectors-quality 180g vinyl mastered and pressed on buyer-sourced Neotech™ 100% virgin vinyl processed with no pollutants or additives for cleaner fidelity and extended lifetime playback durability. The mastering process utilizes the Perfect Groove™ mastering software. This software auditions the studio master prior to cutting the acetate to generate a Forecasted Virtual Rendering of the record as well as a report detailing an analysis of potential groove deformations impacting playback quality. This enables the engineer to take preemptive, corrective measures so that the final pressing mirrors the intended audio equalization of the original studio performance.
This 2 LP set is an authenticated and numbered limited edition Mixprint ™ release. Every album jacket features unique “1 of 1” cover art, making each design truly distinct and highly collectible – a first in the vinyl record industry. These covers are created through a harmonious blend of hand-crafted artistry, proprietary technology (without the use of A.I.) and advanced printing techniques.


Also, I am surprised to see Young Thug - Barter 6 in the list. Wasn't there a pre-order for it through VMP?
Unless you already have it, don't miss Don Cherry's Orient, it's a gorgeous album and well overdue a reissue.
 
What's The Coral release? It's the only one I couldn't find info for.
 
Nice! 2001-2003 was my peak Coral phase. There used to be a local store that would get their import singles in and some of those B-Sides ae great. I'll have to see if I can find a tracklist for this.

Edit: There's a 45 track B-Sides compilation on Apple Music??? (I assume this comes from that hence the Vol. 1). That's just the sliver of happiness I needed for a Friday in this current world.
 
I’m going to be in St Louis for the NCAA Frozen Four the weekend of RSD but I’m gonna need that RATM Live ‘93 & that TIM 2xLP. Might have to grab ‘em on Plaid Room after the fact (fingers crossed) but anyone know any good shops around St Louis that might be worth the visit that Sat AM?
