Vinyl Me Please Essentials

A shipping label was created already for my copy of Bella Donna. Not saying it'll ship anytime soon, but that's way earlier than I've ever got a shipping label notification from them. Considering I just got the Stooges yesterday, I'll consider any delivery within the month of May a win!

Same. I just got shipping notification for my Bella Donna and I got my April Records this past weekend. I have literally never not been end of the queue before so I'm pretty pumped right now (hope it includes all 3 ROTMs).

Same with me, for both essentials and classics. Still nothing on allll the other records I bought (Fela, Fetch, Arepa3000, Just Coolin')
 
if anyone is wondering what the drink recipe that came with Aretha looks like when completed, here it is. I was looking through the VMP recipes that are sitting in my record shelf and this was the only one that I have all the ingredients for, on-hand.

It was actually really fucking good. The only problem is, it’s one of those drinks you can only have 1 or 2 of, because it’s very acidic and the raw egg white leaves a sort of film in your mouth. I’ll definitely make it again, though.

And if I’m making the drink, I should probably pair it with the record, right? All-in-all very enjoyable.BE493924-6D5A-435E-9787-CC5285E789CD.jpeg

Sounds appealing!!
 
Acidic, to me, is very appealing. Just gives me heartburn with too much. But, I’m a person who eats cucumbers soaked in apple cider vinegar, so I know high acidity isn’t for everyone. And the film is nothing more than say...eating anything cooked with bacon grease. Just don’t want my mouth to feel like that continuously during a night of drinking.

I know describing it that way makes it seem gross, but really it wasn’t. Well, to me.

I’ll take your word for it! 😜
 
I never really paid much attention to them, but yesterday I was struggling to make the 400th Old Fashioned of quarantine, so I decided to try anything new. Unfortunately, I could only make this one out of the few essentials albums I have. The Race for the Prize from the Flaming Lips album sounds like a great Sunday afternoon drink (and listen!), though, so I may be making a store run soon.

This madlad actually made one of the drinks. In Tabakin's name, we pray.

Anyone else who has received Bella Donna underwhelmed by the mastering and pressing quality? On my system the highs are very tinny/shrill and I have a decent amount of surface noise throughout

Oh no, that’s not good to hear at all! Have you gave it a good clean?

If the vinyl is still pretty noisy throughout, you should ask for a replacement!

I’m expecting this VMP pressing of Bella Donna to sound amazing though, so it’s sad to hear you say it sounds underwhelming 😔
