Vinyl Me Please Essentials

After a 4 month break from VMP, I fully relapsed, complete with the swap for credit shell game.

Subbed for a 1 month International track, which was immediately swapped for credit.
Then added on Tribe and Phineous.
And then ordered Mingus plays Mingus.
Once I get the credit put in my account, I plan to order The Meters exclusive and Vertigo OST (I assume those two will last until May 2nd).
...and maybe Spirit in the Night.
...and that Charlie Gabriel album is fun.
(Sweet lord, what have I done?)
What is the add-sub cost? Is it still $33?
 
I resubbed for 3 months for an all in price of $131. It means a total price tag of $43.66 per Album…but if you were to order any of these albums elsewhere you would likely pay, give or take; $6 shipping and Tacoma we have steep sales tax of over 10%. So if you were to subtract all that out and say, buying it from the artist or label web store $33.90 per album seems reasonable.

These are the rationalization gymnastics I use to justify my purchase. Whatever works.
 
I'm listening to my RE of Low End Theory from a few years ago and it sounds pretty dang good.

Quick sanity check...VMP version is still single pocket, 2LP, 33 RPM? Didn't change it to gatefold?

Colored vinyl, looks like a booklet and standard art print w Essentials is main difference from RE? Oh, and the chance that GZ and VMP totally fuck it up, of course.

nope, according to the details its a tip-on Gatefold pressed at 45 RPM. That is the reason I signed back up.
 
I want to rejoin for ATCQ, but I already have a have a good copy. I do want the tip-on gatefold and 45rpm, I just can’t trust their run of pressing issues with GZ. Is it worth the risk?
I also already own a decent copy of Low End Theory and still went hog wild and signed back up for a 3 month stint. ATCQ, Pharcyde, and maybe Patsy Cline.
