[duke86fan]

Joni Mitchell - Blue
Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On

already own OG to close to OG copies

Can - Tago Mago

this i would take

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson

i actually cant stand this album something just doesn't click

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

totally would take this, easy big seller

Bill Withers - Just As I Am

very safe, has a few audiophile reissues already

Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi

i mean not AS big as it could be but still definitely one that will get sales

Joni Mitchell Blue is the last album that needs a good reissue from 1971.

Agreed. I have the reissue from 2019 that Kevin Gray cut. Sounds real good too.

 

[wmeugene]

If they do yet another Herbie album you might as well rename the service "Herbie Me Please".

I could see it as a tie in to the Anthology, since it is likely to ship in January. But yes, that would be a lot of Herbie.

1971 is a killer year. Just wish we had a genre hint!

If I was to guess a few albums, I'd think the likeliest would be:

Joni Mitchell - Blue
Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On
Can - Tago Mago
Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Bill Withers - Just As I Am
Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi

Didn’t they hint on Twitter at Joni Mitchell sometime this summer?

I definitely recall seeing that.

Definitely hoping for Maggot Brain. I have pretty good chunk of the acclaimed albums from 1971 though...

Man, (great sounding) Maggot Brain or Taco Magic would be the best VMP picks ever for me. Would be great for my last month.

Edit: Haha, Taco Magic! What an autocorrect for Tago Mago

i'm going to go with the "pics or it didn't happen" rule for this

blue is way too easy.. it would be an immediate skip

 

[oldschoolkirby]

My copy of Blue has an unfortunate repeating pop on one song, so I'd be OK with a new copy, but a nice version of Maggot Brain would be great as well. Bill Withers would be excellent too.

Joni Mitchell Blue is the last album that needs a good reissue from 1971.

Dunno about that. Because she’s a woman the audiophile release companies haven’t picked it to press as “one of the albums a granddad wants” so there are probably quite a few other albums of the era that have been pressed to death much more than any of Joni’s...

I got that Kevin Gray/Steve Hoffman/Rhino pressing of Joni Mitchell’s Blue and it sounds outstanding! So I’m hoping the January Essentials ROTM isn’t Joni Mitchell’s Blue. I’m really happy with the copy I got!

So happy my local hunted down that particular pressing for too!

Oh my god! That means we are probably getting Joni Mitchell then!!!

I’m a little bit bummed because I’ve got a great pressing of Blue, but I’d love to see what VMP do it with it! I’d definitely pick up the VMP pressing for it!

Would much, much, much rather Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain be the Essentials ROTM though!

Found it. And it’s hardly a hint really. I feel like they say that about half the stuff that is requested in Twitter.

Blue would be an instant skip for me too. I’m satisfied with my 2019 reissue that Kevin Gray cut.
