Agreed. Unless it’s a live album or unreleased alternate take of an album, I have no idea what album would warrant an Essentials release under the punk flag that has yet to be released on vinyl. Hopefully I like it. Might not be a member by then so who knows!

I think of Stooges and MC5 as proto punk off the top of my head. Which albums have an anniversary coming up in 2020? Stooges s/t was 2019. It’ll probably be something loosely punk like Blondie.

If they were actually doing this properly I’d say either of New York Dolls albums would be the perfect pick for US punk. I think they’ve been reissued recently though. For UK punk, hmmm I’m not sure, the bigger acts Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks and Wire have all had their main stuff reissued pretty recently.
That said given Storf’s shit takes it’s likely Donnie Osmond...

my gut says Television for some reason. Although rhino covered those bases in the last few years.

But didn't Storf say it has never been released on vinyl before? Maybe the Eno demos but I would be surprised.

It’s possible it could be some completely unknown gem a la Nat Turner Rebellion.
But I think the more likely answer is Storf mischaracterized what it really is, because he himself doesn’t know what it really is.

I’ve gone back and forth A LOT on Bitte Orca. It wasn’t an album on my radar. After some research, it looks like, for 2009, it was Pitchfork’s top album, the A.V. club’s number 2, and has landed in the top 20 on the list of a review compilation site I use.
It’s not in my top 4 albums of 2009, though. That would be (1) Animal Collective (2) Mastodon (3) Lady Gaga and (4) either xx or Phoenix or Florence + Machine. So it wouldn’t be one if the ones I pick up as part of my ongoing Best of the Year Ultra Classics Collection (tm).
BUT, like Flaming Lips, after listening to the album a few times, I’ve kinda fallen for it. The male’s singer initially turned me off - seemed like stereotypical indie pretension voice - it has ceased to bug me. I loved the voices of the female vocalists. And the music is Interesting!
But NOW I can’t tell if I’ll actually spin the record very often or if I’m just enamored by something I haven’t heard before. Once the newness wears off, will I still like it?
Probably! I’ve liked the record more on each successive listen.
But is it worth re-subbing for 3 months? I have a swap in mind if I hate February or March, so I can tolerate one miss.
Hmmmmm.....

Anyone have an idea what the related exclusive is going to be?

Probably not. If you want the album you can still get it without committing to 3 months of abuse.

I thought Ayalew Mesfin was also non-alcoholic for religious reasons, but I’m not home to confirm.
I really like Bitte Orca and don’t own it, so I’m pretty happy with the pick. Assuming it actually shows up.
