Vinyl Me Please Essentials

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 would double-check that in a couple of weeks. Sometimes VMP monthly account titles just... change on you with no notice. I really enjoyed the Darkside album last month, though, so you're on the right track!

I have the 2017 and love it, only problem is there's one minor skip due to wear and tear...I haven't checked it since doing a full cleaning. Same with Portishead which I'm devastated about since those are two of my favourites in my collection.

Which Portishead?

I apparently didn’t enter Dummy in my Discogs collection so I dunno which I have, but I’m happy with the one I have. These are 2 releases that I was surprised by the sound quality of as I didn’t have high expectations for.

Between that new Bernie G box set, the 2019 Kevin Gray, and the 2007 KG/Steve Hoffman AAA reissues I think the market for quality Blue reissues has been done to death. I expect there to be standalone reissues from that Bernie box set too (or at the very least represses of the 2019 Kevin Gray Blue)

Good luck finding the Grey or Hoffman pressings. The market would absolutely support another reissue of Blue.

In the last few stores and record shows I've been to, actually surprised at how scarce Joni has been in general.

Dummy is one I need to replace. The surface of the vinyl got gassed by a picture disc PVC sleeve sitting next to it on the shelf. That pressing was good though.

I play tested two newer copies of Dummy and this particular release was the winner...

Nice - I've always hesitated to pick this up because of mixed reviews and uncertainty which pressing to seek. Now I know!👍🏻

SLIGHT CORRECTION

I rechecked the matrix just to be sure and mine is in fact the 2017 repress which shows a slightly different matrix. Although it's likely the same master. But just to be safe THIS is the Portishead I have and can vouch for...

I corrected my original post.

The 10 Best Trip-Hop Albums To Own On Vinyl

Back in the early ’90s, the seeds of a new strain of music that blended together hip-hop, jazz and electronic influences started to sprout. Tagged trip-hop—a phrase reputedly coined by a writer at Mixmag magazine—the vibe was all about atmospheric (and often instrumental) beats that embraced a...
