If you count the albums on RYM and Wikipedia (which are sometimes weird) it is 15.

The URL trick NEVER fails. Never.

OK, I've heard this mentioned a couple of times with no explanation. What is this URL trick?

If you know the album and type in what the URL will be for the next month, it will take you to the existing month's record. If you get it wrong it will redirect you to the store. It only works toward the end of the month though. This month I couldn't get it to work until Saturday.

Hit us with the format you typed in. "URL for Dummies" if you will.
Edit: I mean for future reference. This month is surely Go For Your Guns and HUD Dreams

Same format as current month.
The link trick that I learned from @Wes C. Attle seems to have just started working for The Isley Brothers - Go For Your Guns
Go For Your Guns
The Isley Brothers 15th studio album, 1977's Go For Your Guns, is the Vinyl Me, Please Classics selection for August 2019.app.vinylmeplease.com

Basically it's "/vol-xx-artist-name-album-title/"
If it redirects to the current ROTM, you have a winner. If it goes to the store page, it ain't it (or you got part of the url wrong).
I'm excited for Isley Brothers, I'm definitely jumping on that. I like Knxwledge too, but I can see that sticking around for like, a year like Open Mike Eagle has, so I'm putting it at the bottom of my "to-swap" list and grabbing something else that's more likely to be closer to selling out.

The very first sentence on Wikipedia for Go For Your Guns is "Go for Your Guns is the fifteenth album by The Isley Brothers."
1000% certainly is that.

this Isley Brothers album is fire, but is it worth $29 and a resub to me?
Is Knxledge? Is Sleater-Kinney esp since I have the signed copy coming from BN?
No, probably not

Same. If I could just jump in for the month, I’d be really tempted by The Isley’s...gotta stay strong.

There are M and NM copies of OP "Go For Your Guns" on Discogs for $10-$35 USD... I guess I'll wait for the VMP details before I get too excited or critical.

Welp, the packaging will be pristine and the listening notes book is included. It’s worth it if you love the Isleys or late 70s funk/soul. Otherwise...

I switched my main subscription to Essentials (I just feel like the next "blockbuster" ROTM with be on that track), even though I'll probably swap SK if I cannot hear more of the album before the end of the month. Fingers crossed there will be decent swaptions available.

I've tried but I just can't get into GFYG. If Fist City is a swaption I will swap for that (assuming they'll cancel my order for it) but if not I'll probably just switch to Essentials and grab SK.

It's going to be AAA from the analog tapes. VMP has confirmed all Classics releases will follow that format from here on out.

SHIT! I forgot all about my Fist City order.

OGs are AAA too. Can't speak to the average pressing quality though.
