Vinyl Me Please Essentials

White and black splatter, would be cool. Like the Orange pressing(Newbury I think), being realistic they'll probably do a half&half black/white. Hopefully it's something cool 🔥

Yeah, I’m hoping it’s something cool! I think a black and white quad would look amazing! Similar to the Peace ‘Black Power’ VMP exclsuive! 🔥

Yeah I suppose if they did a black and white splatter, that could be acceptable. White vinyl with a black splatter could look pretty damn good.

Half and half is actually my worst case scenario. That's a carbon copy of the TI release, and Stankonia deserves better than that.

The RSD Stankonia does look dope. For some reason orange/black seems to speak to me for the colors of that album, even though there's not really a connection.

Overall I'm kinda pulling for anything other than a black and white mix. It feels boring for what will likely be my favorite release in essentials this year.

They feature heavily in the booklet and the alt cover:

I’m sure you won’t be let down, and if you are, there’s always the RSD variant for you! 🙂

I’m more concerned about the pressing details of this ROTM! I love Stankonia so much and just hope this pressing sounds even better than the Music On Vinyl pressing, which sounds pretty great: it’s a crisp sounding pressing!
 
I have some catching up to do, are we still assuming the next 3 are Outkast, Badu and Holiday?

It's highly unlikely, but I'd love an exclusive of Erykah Badu's Live album next to the Essentials release.

It’s confirmed to be OutKast Stankonia and Erykah Badu’s Mama’s Gun as the next two Essentials! Billie Holiday will be the December Essentials ROTM but we don’t know which album from 1956 it will be!
 
Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun - The upcoming November Essentials ROTM - is currently ranked #158 on RollingStones top 500 albums of all-time list!!! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🍾🍻🥂🎯🏆🎉🎉🎉

I'm shocked that the boomers at rolling stone liked it so much.

It's a masterpiece and I am so happy it's getting more recognition! It's such a great album and I cannot wait to see what the VMP packaging and pressing looks like! Mama's Gun is good for the soul! ☯❤
 
OUTKAST's STANKONIA IS RANKED #64 in RollingStones top 500 albums of all-time list! INCREDIBLE! I am so freaking happy to see that! This is such an amazing Essentials pick and I cannot wait to see what this ROTM all looks like later this week! ❤ ❤ ❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥
 
Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was ranked #10 in the top 500 albums of all-time list and D'Angelo was in the top #50, so let's hope VMP make those two albums Essentials ROTM's in the future! 🙏

I have hope this could happen as VMP are making an Erykah Badu album an Essentials ROTM! :love:

Also, Erykah Badu's Baduizm (shoutout @Lee Newman) was ranked inside the top #100 too, and OutKast's Aquemini in the top #50!!! So let's hope we get exclusives of any of those two albums to accompany the Essentials ROTM! 🤞🤞🤞

I think Aquemini was even lower. That new list was....something else compared to the older ones. If I’m not mistaken it had more input from fans this time around. TPAB was like 15, TSwift’s Red and Drake were in the top 100, and a lot of boomers were mad that Sgt. Pepper got booted down.

At the end of the day, it’s still a silly list from a silly company.
