Vinyl Me Please Anthology

i'm in on this. i'm one who doesn't mind not knowing what's in the box ahead of time- after all, i had been paying $300 or whatever for a year membership to vmp not having any clue what i'd be receiving, so that argument really doesn't work for me. i also don't have many motown records (and none by women artists) so i can't help but think there will be a lot to listen to and like here that i'd not been familiar with before. so i'm feeling pretty positive about this.

what story will it be


is it personalized?

I am not revealing hard details until each record ships but the general theme is 'Records You Didn't Know Time Hasn't Forgotten'. It will cover records from the beginning of recorded history until today and each one will come with a link to a password-protected sub-forum on Needles & Grooves where myself and other historians will provide further insight and details.

My pick for overlooked dischords record: smart went crazy -con art.
And this is meant seriously, although band and album name seem like a pun in this thread

We have expanded to non-Fugazi bands and are working on a 20-episode podcast that are each under one minute.

i am actually legitimately thinking this is a good idea and we could actually jokingly do a longwinded podcast for at the first "batch"

like i can join a DM group and we can come up with this unofficial box set
