Yeah i'm not showing up as a member either. Kind of frustrating its taken this long, looks like some of us may miss swaps.

As long as I still get BB and Aretha, I won't be that upset. Would have rather swapped out Run DMC for something bc I have become aware that my rap purchases just sit on the shelf.

I'm bummed that the Aretha is stereo rather than mono. I have an OG mono, so I'm guessed I'm not that bummed, but it's still disappointing that they went with the inferior stereo mix.

They what!? They said original mono tapes when announced, did they change it?

Huge "MONO" on the back cover on the pic here:
I Never Loved A Man...
‘I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You’ is the December Essentials Record of the Month, a deluxe AAA reissue on purple & white color vinyl cased in a heavyweight jacket with lyric book insert.

Hopefully some clarification will come soon.

So they still have images posted on their site advertising the buy this three month subscription ahead of time falsely claiming that it is the superior original mono tapes when in fact they knew it was the inferior stereo mix??

He is a king of bullshit and bluster to cover up his lack of knowledge...

He's gotta be wrong. The packaging on both the front and back cover clearly say MONO, and the label color is red and purple which (based on other records in my collection at least) indicates a Mono pressing from Atlantic Records.

I joined the cestpool to lay down the challenge. Let’s see the response!

Everything polarizing about storf aside, the fact that he still clearly has absolutely no (feigned or genuine) interest in mastering or mix variations and sound quality is baffling to me. With his adopted, or otherwise, position of public face of the company; when he can't be bothered to care at all about details that are the most important to a significant percentage of vinyl collectors seems almost a slap in the face.

He’s responded. He’s just clueless as always. It is mono.

I am 100% fine with him being wrong on this occasion.
