Vinyl Me Please Classics

Hint #2 from Reddit: The labels for both ROTM are labels we've worked with a bunch in the past, and in each subscription earlier this year.

So...Columbia, Atlantic, Elektra, Mack Avenue, Stax or Milestone

C32 - Herbie Hancock - Mr. Hands (Columbia)
C33 - Aretha Franklin - Aretha Now (Atlantic)
C34 - Patrice Rushen - Straight From the Heart (Elektra)
C35 - Otis Redding - The Immortal Otis Redding (ATCO / Atlantic)
C36 - Erroll Garner - Magician (London / Mack Avenue)
C37 - Albert King - King, Does The King's Things (Stax)
C38 - McCoy Tyner - Sahara (Milestone)

EDIT:
Earth Wind & Fire - Spirit is their 7th Studio Album, and on Columbia. Only reissue is a Speaker's Corner release, which has had a bit of crossover w/ Classics before.

OMG NOOOOOO, that means Ohio Players has been eliminated and is not in the running anymore...😭😭😭
 
Sounds very good. 😍 The Speakers Corner 2017 Edition seems to be AAA too. At least in Germany it's still available.
I absolutely love Speakers Corner pressings! I really want to get my hands on a Speakers Corner pressing of George Benson 'Give Me The Night'!!! Apparently it sounds marvellous! I have the Music On Vinyl pressing which sounds good, but I want that Speakers Corner reissue!!! 🙇‍♂️

I guess you mean the Pure Pleasure edition? Or did Speakers Corner also release one? As far as I know they work together with Pure Pleasure.

Yeah Speakers Corner is really good. Kai Seemann, their boss/CEO, is really nice and really dedicated. If you write them at info@speakerscorner.de you'll probably get a response by himself. :)

Yes, that's right! It's the Pure Pleasure pressing I'm talking about! Thanks for correcting me!

The best sounding Speakers Corner pressing I have is Carla Thomas' The Queen Alone! It sounds just magnificent! I'm so happy to have it!
 
@NathanRicaud on JPC the George Benson Pure Pleasure Vinyl seems to be available.
Not sure what their shipping costs look like. Would it be an option for you?

I've got only AUD$12 left all together in bank account right now! I know, I know, I'm crazy and irresponsible, but I am not going to buy any vinyl unless it's VMP/Herbie Hancock Anthology Box Set in the near-future because I am just spending wayyyy too much. I do have my super money coming into my account later this week though, so I'll be AUD$5,500 richer soon! But I don't think I'll buy the George Benson only because I have a pressing and need to control my spending 😅🙉

I can't even go out for Brunch right now or dinner tonight or go out to bowling with my best friend later tonight! 🤪🤷‍♂️

What do you think about maybe selling some vinyl you turned out not to enjoy as much as you've thought before or which doesn't sound too good. I know you've got many limited and rare editions, so could be a way to get some money in. 🤑

Yeah, true! I might sell my Marvin Gaye What’s Goin On as I have a MoFi One-Step pressing and can sell my Aretha Franklin I Never Loved A Man...as I’ve got the VMP edition now! There’s so many albums I have that are like that!

I think I might actually put together a stack and will go to my local and will sell them to him next week! I don’t need the money now but it will be good to clear some space up 😄

It’s literally only today I’m so limited to my spending. I have kept on top of everything though! I’ve got $150 in cash ready to give my PT tomorrow, my petrol is full and I’ve got all the healthy foods etc I need! Only thing is that I probably can’t go out for brunch tomorrow morning or to bowling tonight with my friend (unless the money my friend transferred to me comes into my bank account tonight!)!

Also, I can always borrow money from Mum and Dad but I won’t because they’ll be like “are you serious? as they knew I took out my retirement fund and have been eating out everyday” haha

I don’t mind not eating out and just staying home for a few days! I might even miss out on the Wednesday VMP drops, but even that’s OK too 👍

Sounds like a good plan to go to your local and sell some records. As you say not only for the money, but to create some space too.
I think something important to consider when buying vinyl is that time is limited. It's easy to buy, but with very large collections do we also have the time to listen to records more than once or twice? Because if we see us spinning some records so rarely, it's more about the buying/FOMO than about the enjoyment of the music. And I think it's important to take that thought into consideration. Sometimes it's helpful to take a step back and to explore records we have in a deeper way, instead of buying new stuff. 😎
 
Think I'd rather have Gratitude mostly because Shining Star is my jam.

How are we molding "7" into Earth, Wind & Fire? Could Gratitude fit the clues?

"Spirit" seems to be the 7th studio album by Earth, Wind & Fire. If the number implies the published amounts of albums. Yes, it also could be "Gratitude" depending on how Storf counts.
If the number stands for album releases, in RHH we would get a debut.
Unless of course the numbers imply something else.
