Vinyl Me Please Country

@scotthilk Still looking for a copy of Shotgun Willie?

Hey! I landed one.. and then when I saw VMP was going to press it, I sold it a few weeks ago.. stoked for this one!!!

If there's an extra spot for Shotgun Willie, I would be very interested.

So any details on the mastering for Sturgill? I really want Willie but will have to wait since I haven’t been a member for a while. I think it’s almost certain they will repress Johnny Cash and Willie.

I *think* Sturgill is the same mastering info from the original pressing. Just now in a pretty color.

If that’s the case then that’s pretty disappointing. Definitely not worth $33 or more to me.

Stoked for Merle and Willie though!

I'm curious...

Has anyone that has gone the "Waitlist Me" route for a VMP release, actually ended up getting it?

I got Blossom Dearie that way.

They are as loose with their definition of "wait list" as they are with "best albums" and "essential."

Anyone know if there are any solid pressings of Marty Robin’s Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs? Looks like it got the Boom Boom treatment a few years ago but hard to come by, only pressed 600

People seem to be paying for a lot of money for the Real Gone reissue from a few years back. On the other hand, this pressing seems decent and affordable.

I have an OG mono and haven't bothered upgrading, myself. I feel like it's inevitable for this track sooner or later, tbh.

Well shit, looks what finally showed up. I hope everyone else gets theirs as well!

They did a great job with it.

Yes!! It sounds better than my original! (which has a bunch of static) This is a great album to get on a Friday night when I happen to have a nice supply of bourbon handy...

Found a decent copy of Shotgun Willie at Half Price Books today for $15.

Awesome. Great pull! It took me a long ass time to find a copy in good condition.

Yeah that’s my thinking, it feels like an obvious contender for the Country Track. Will probs just wait it out as I feel it’s inevitable as well ahahah. Real Gone pressings are going for too much. I’ll be patient

Your best bet is getting a VG+ copy of Gunfighter Ballads pressed in the 60s or early 70s and hoping VMP eventually reissues it (which they probably will) .

Just spun mine. They really did a superb job on this. My copy is flawless, which you never know with GZ. Great pressing.

I’m spinning mine right now for the fourth time this weekend. I absolutely love this pressing. It may be my favorite VMP has ever put out.

Mine got delivered today, so I cannot wait to go home after work and grab it and play it tonight!

If anyone is on the waitlist for the country track, I was able to add Willie this morning by scrolling to the bottom and clicking add track under the Sturgill icon

I wonder if that's a website bug that you'll get an email about cancelling your track.
