Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Mather]

So what you are saying is I have to pony up for a sealed copy just to make sure.

Well... I mean... You don't HAVE to... But like.. if you WANTED to...

Just make sure the listing is the whole box with the adaptors and the extra 7" etc. Looks like all the copies currently for sale on cogs include everything. But like, don't expect miracles from the pressing. I think they sound better than my MOV in terms of mastering, but they're no revelation...

If anyone wants to pick up something without signing up, I still have my sub until September and add-ons are around $40($33+tax+shipping to you). Though I may be a while in sending out.

Hopefully these last three months will be great.

Welp, no Mwandishi.
(Pretty sure this confirms Coat of Many Colors for Country though.)

Would be absolutely shocked if Coat of Many Colors isn't August's Country track - it seems obvious for all the reasons (amazing album, continuing killer momentum on the new track, the need to include more women on the new track) But then, I understand VMP and obvious are not always synonymous.

Alright, I've kinda forgotten how this all works. Some of these sell out before shipping, right? When should I sign up if I want to guarantee myself a copy? Not sure if I want anything else VMP has done recently but I'm not even sure what that would be.

It said June 24 in the tweet so I assume that's announcement days. I wanted DARKSIDE so I just used that as an excuse to sign up today.

Do you mind if I asked what track you signed up for? I tried to do something similar today, but it only gave me the option to waitlist for Essentials.

Let’s all pray we get Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain!

I want a quality pressing of Maggot Brain moreso than Frank Ocean’s Channel ORANGE to be honest!

 

[NewsFedora]

Maggot Brain for Country and Coat of Many Colors for Essentials.

Maggot Brain for Country and Coat of Many Colors for Essentials.

Maggot Brain really showed what Country was truly capable of as a genre. Things were quite in a rut until it was released.

I think they're all pretty much the same. It's one of the newer ones.

I've been eye-ing a copy of Mezzanine but the comments on Discogs are a mixed bag.

Optimal?

I'm pretty sure? Yes I think so.

Mine is not noisy at all. Occasional pop here and there, but it's quiet. Great mastering.

 

[Turbo]

I'm pretty sure? Yes I think so.

Doesn't say on Discogs but I'm guessing those run-out entries are trying to show those Optimal pressing marks?

Alright then... something else to look more actively for.

I went to the product page for Darkside and clicked Join the Club and it set that as my first record. When I go to my account page it says I'm on the Essentials track.

I have the 2013 reissue and very happy with it.

I believe I have the 2017 reissue as well and the mastering is definitely on point
