Vinyl Me Please Classics

[Allyngr]

I got Patrice and I love it. Possibly one of my favourites

 

[RowBearToe]

I swapped for the Isley Brothers and got it today, sounds fantastic!

 

[NewsFedora]

Swapped for Irma Thomas, which looks and sounds fantastic. It was definitely a pleasant surprise to find it as a swaption. I hope VMP does more like that going forward, assuming they can get the damned inventory count right so they stop overselling them.

2/3 were oversold out of my swaps sadly. I supposedly got Irma but won’t believe it until I have it in hand...I don’t think I’ll trust those limited swaps going forward...

 

[VMPKJ]

I swapped Patrice for Laura Nyro, and I also ordered Horace Tapscott as my jazz fix for the month. I'm sure they'll sound great, but they are still en route.

Little Milton

Edit: VMP replacement here already. Sounds great!

 

[VMPKJ]

I'm completely stumped on the clues.

I'm completely stumped on the clues.

All I can make of it is 4 member band (Essentials - proto punk), 1 solo (Classics) and 1 solo (RHH)

 

[VMPKJ]

I was WAY over thinking it I think.

 

[sahomerrocks]

I swapped for Outkast (I previously thought I could get away with the incomplete version, but there was nothing else I wanted), and it might be the noisiest pressing I've ever received from VMP. I'm almost sure there won't be any replacements. Been a no lapse member since J Dilla and just counting down the months til my subscription ends at this point.

That's odd, mine sounds fantastic.

 

[TCell]

Here's the latest hint from Storf:
"Faces (that's the hint for all 3)"

MAC MILLER FACES PLZ
Edit: oops this classics

 

[VMPKJ]

Otis' face is definitely on there.

 

[Doctor_of_Jazz]

Maybe one from THESE GUYS, or is that too obvious.

For classics?

For classics?

Probably a stretch for classics.

 

[TCell]

I do think it could've been cool if they'd done a "Faces" month. [I don't think it's any of these, just think it'd be cool.]

Essentials: Faces - A Nod is as Good as a Wink...

R&HH: Mac Miller - Faces

Classics: Buddy Rich - Big Swing Face

My wife bought 2 records since I started collecting. One was Aretha Now. She was annoyed that I bought the VMP version. The other was the Immortal Otis Redding. It has more crackles and pops than a fire place and she’ll be annoyed when I replace that one too if that’s what it ends up being.

Yup. Gotta pick your battles in all relationships. Noisy vinyl is definitely worth going to war.
