Vinyl Me Please Essentials

What do you think about these records? I had a look at 2006 lists and think these may be possible too:

Liars "Drums not dead"
Scott Walker "The drift"
Destroyer "Destroyer's Rubies"
Yo La Tengo "I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass"
LCD Soundsystem "45:33"

Also I see "FutureSex/LoveSounds" by Justin Timberlake was also from 2006, fantastic album, but VMP had already done it before. Was that a former RotM or just an exclusive? I guess that rules it out?

I honestly couldn't see it being Liars or Scott Walker, as they are probably a bit too "out there" for the Essentials sub. Something also tells me that LCD is less likely, as I don't see James Murphy green-lighting a colour reissue pressing of any of his stuff.

Destroyer and YLT are interesting possibilities as well. Destroyer's Rubies did get a couple of colour represses in 2012, and the white one I have is awesome.

I would love a special pressing of I Am Not Afraid of You (which I'm almost ashamed to admit not already having), but I feel like if they were going to do Destroyer as an Essential they would've picked Kaputt, which is an album they've highly touted the past via an Exclusive and a magazine write up. And yes, the recent pressings of Rubies are pretty solid.

They did do a red exclusive pressing of Kaputt way back when Beck was ROTM, so it would be out of the running for Essentials.
 
I have to say I really prefer when VMP doesn't reveal the Essentials for the next 3 months in advance. I understand it makes perfectly sense for them when they have some big stuff coming up like The White Stripes, but it is a lot more entertaining and fun when it isn't known beforehand.

It's very enjoyable to guess and to check out potential candidates and possibly get to know (or to rediscover) a lot of new music that way.

Maybe they will get rid of it now that the 1 month sub is back? It seemed they did the 3 month reveals because they nixed the 1 month sub and people wanted to know what they were getting before committing to 3 months. They left RHH and Classics as guesses to give you some suspense still.

i agree i like guessing games.

but when you are deciding if you should join again for 3 more months its best to know what you're getting

I agree with that. I'm glad they have returned to 1 month options and I hope they won't change that again. I'm not sure how it plays out for them financially, but I'm sure there are also many people that just want to join for a month in order to get access to many exclusives they buy within that month.

Ah, yes I mean the fact that they didn't even get the NAME of the album correct tells me that this isn't in the cards. If they were working with the band I'm sure they'd at the very least know the names of their albums. Also I can't really see Omar and Cedric being down with giving another company control over their pressings after how mad they were about MOVs releases way back when...
