Haha, nice username @Joe Mac.
Providing this for insight into the purported future Aretha Classics pick. Lost all interest in it halfway through reading and gained some hope back by the end. If it doesn't end up being mono, I'll likely be back to looking for an original of whatever it is.
This points to that release being Aretha Now or earlier as well, if it has a dedicated mono mix, I believe. Unless Storf again has it wrong...

By the way, for those thinking about swapping...you won't be able to grab something as a place holder and go back to possibly get something else like in the past. They have a new policy:
"As of November 27th 2019, to improve the Swaps process and to prevent inventory-related issues, you will now need to "Confirm" your Swap after selecting your title. After confirming, you will not be able to undo this action. All Swaps must be processed between the 27th of the current month, and the 1st of the next month."

Torn between Aretha and King.

Aretha is and absolute must have album in a collection remotely interested in soul IMO. B.B. King is good but I wouldn't say an absolutely essential blues album. YMMV of course!
edit: if your post wasn't an open invitation for any schmuck's 2¢, feel free to disregard!

It seemed right! Haha!
I was going to reply and suggest that he maybe has someone do him up a crib sheet before these AMA with all the release facts! It’s not acceptable for the only public face of a company selling a premium product to get pretty simple facts wrong!

that’s wank!
Imagine how much it must suck to deal with shit heads like whoever Gloaming3 is. Does Storf even technically work for VMP? I used to work in a call center. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's the holidays, folks -- be kind.

They need to ban Storf from communicating with customers, as his attitude and lack of customer service really screw VMP over.

The lack of communication between their teams is astounding. It's a small company where nobody seems to talk to one another. I don't mind that Storf does AMAs and everything on reddit--he doesn't have to. But cmon man...get your shit together VMP. You can't use that "we're a new company working out the kinks" excuse anymore.

So true! He’s very sensitive lol. I can’t believe he can’t admit he’s wrong without trying to make people feel bad about it. Reddit gets kinda toxic sometimes

Sorry, I guess I'm used to Joe's snark. Storf not only works for VMP, but actually facilitated/picked Aretha being the pick this month, so I think he deserves the flak for not knowing what mix it is. Perhaps a kinder way would have been better, I agree.

It was the same in the old place too. Make a huge deal out “sorry I’m wrong” and then call out the people who pointed it out to him for making him feel bad.

Can't disagree with any of that.
