Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[TCell]

What is the add-sub cost? Is it still $33?

Yes, an add on is still $33. That's the reason I did the Swap for credit thing. There were exclusives I wanted so Adding on and swapping for credit was the better value. (I can hear my step-dad now, "But spending $0 is cheaper than $33 or $52.")

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 in for Tribe only.

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.

I thought LET was 45 rpm?

nope, according to the details its a tip-on Gatefold pressed at 45 RPM. That is the reason I signed back up.

Same. I've been out for over a year but that got me back pretty easily. I hope there are some other exclusives but that didn't happen with Modest Mouse like I thought it might.

There ya go! That's why I needed that sanity check. Thank you!

Oh god please don't let my insanity effect your decision making process.

Or wait, do you mean @Ghost?

Nah just decided that the regular 2M replacement would be fine especially with all the other upgrades. When the new one is worn down I'll revisit

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?

No.

 

[sonic pharmacist]

No.

That’s what I’m thinking too. I’ll just enjoy the good one I’ve got and quit buggin’ out

I have the 2009 pressing and I joined.
Probably my favorite hip hop album. I know I’m taking a risk but I’m ok with it.

It’s my #2 (3 Feet High and Rising takes the crown for me), but I may dip in if the reviews are positive. I have a feeling I could offload mine and cushion any hit my wallet takes.

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.

 

[DrainedPatience]

Unfortunately I have one of the pressings with noise throughout the entirety of side one. It's awful.

I hope VMP nails this one because I need a clean sounding Buggin' Out on the turntable.

I'm in for this too but I will admit I took a screenshot of the details in case it switches to tip-on single pocket 33 RPM after swaps close.

Good call. Here is some documentation for everyone…

 

[NewsFedora]

It’s definitely gatefold based on the teaser video. The YouTube description also calls it 45 rpm.
