All solid choices for electronic album, but I don't want it to be any of those, because I already own them on vinyl

(re: Disclosure, Chvrches, and Darkside)

Yeah it looks like there’s an affordable 2LP 45 RPM optimal press of the Darkside album - I’d probably rather get that than a more expensive colored pressing from GZ

The widely available pressing of Disclosure's Settle is also very good, if memory serves.

Probably less likely, but I think the first Forest Swords album was released in 2013.

edit: nm...looks like VMP already did an exclusive of that one.

I got that Darkside album from my Secret Santa.

There is but.... it's got pops. I've got it, went through 3 copies. They all had pops. Sounds good when is not popping.

@Mather - Do you really like Disclosure’s “Settle”? Is that album you enjoy?

I’ve listened to Darkside’s Psychic and I really enjoyed it! I would be really happy if that was the Essentials ROTM! I’m still hoping it’s Disclosure but would definitely be down for Darkside too!

Two more shots from the hip for the Classic Rock slot: Traffic - Mr. Fantasy or The Youngbloods - s/t. Both are a bit under the radar but would be pretty solid picks, imo.

My classic rock pick is Hendrix, as the double album with stray UK tracks added like this one:

Url: The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced? (2008, 180 gram, Vinyl)

If they ever do a Youngbloods Essentials I hope we get Elephant Mountain. Criminally in need of a quality reissue for such a classic album

so you're saying it's more like a pop electronic album?

You're fired, collect your things and get out.

Y’all know that Nicholas Jaar is half of Darkside, right? The other half is Dave Harrington. It’s definitely electronic.

thats like saying if garth brooks and billy ray Cyrus made a metal album, it would still be classified as country.

Psychic (album) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

for all intents and purposes of the clue, Darkside is Electronic, I think we can put that to bed.

Hoping for Moby Grape as our classic rock pick. Hasn't been repressed for a while and definitely fits the "lost sounds found" slogan better than Hendrix or The Doors (if that even matters).

I remember Sundazed did that one a little while ago, but it got pulled from production because of the photographer owns the copyright to the album art or something like that, so their first album hasn't been able to be reissued or even streamed on spotify/itunes/etc. because of that. So I'm skeptical that we will see that album reissued anytime soon until there is news of that issues being settled.
