I know a lot of people like them but I think they just look cheap!

Half way through my first spin of Songs For The Deaf, and damn it sounds great!
Some art prints are cool but they just sit inside the jacket unfortunately.
I don’t think they are worthless, but I’d rather see the money go to that as well.

QOTSA was really a wow moment for me. I don't really know them well and only listened to this album once on my cheap earbuds. I think it may be the best sounding Essential record I've received from VMP. I'm not even sure what #2 would be at the moment.

Yes the booklet is the only good extra they have, looks like it belongs with the LP. The stencil and art print are a waste. Maybe they should all be booklets! Lol

I think it would be rad if they got someone like Ed Piskor to create some Hip Hop Family Tree-esque trading cards for the Rap/Hip-Hop Sub but I doubt they will change them now...

Man, if they did something like this I would buy a lot of their rap/hip hop track just to get these cards. Honestly, I just throw the stencils and artwork away for the most part.

Right! I keep the stencils but for the most part they barely see the light of day. Trading/art cards would be dope AF.

Are you familiar with the Blue Note Review? Vol 2 came with a similar thing, playing/trading cards with stats and a little bio of each artist on the blue note rosta. Came in one of those old school plastic top trumps cases. Really cool if they were to do something like this with the Hip Hop track, allows you to build the collection over time.

I really wish the BN review was cheaper...the extras are cool and all but I can never pull the trigger for how little music tends to be on them...

the two people listing a still available record for $250 and $237.50. Fucking knob heads.

I don´t see this gaining too much in price with a black version readily available. i don´t even know if the rotm sold out.

Can't be sold out then.
I mean, the records are around ~$50 right now on 'Cogs, which sucks for anyone that buys them. If this were a real exclusive I could see it actually being worth something, but it's basically just a deluxe edition. Still, VMP's FOMO works really well and basically creates these markets. I remember people complaining about the sales limit being 5 or whatever, but the thing is, VMP wants a flipper market. That gives their releases value. They WANT flippers going wild for their stuff and creating these inflated little record bubbles, because those bubbles mean their next release is going to be worth buying, and so on. Flipping is really good for VMP's business. And it's something that'll blow up sooner or later.

They probably pressed a gazillion of those and with the qotsa e-mail list foiling their evil fomo marketing plot they might be around a couple of months for swaps.

Didn´t they even have a marketig e-mail a coupl of months ago bragging about the high resale value of their exclusives?

Generally i think it´s mostly the true exclusives ( del ais dead et al) That really command higher prices. At least the ones i have in my discogs are hardly commanding any special prices.
