Yeah that's the same one I have, and I think it sounds great to me as well.My Black vinyl copy of Moon Safari sounds excellent to be honest.

Now the GITD version is a bit noisier but as far as GITD records go, it sounds fairly decent.
OH MAN that would be so great
I'm hoping they do something like they did with Phoenix - take an album that a lot of people already have but release the definitive version of it. The VMP version of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix sounds amazing and the color/alternate cover are really nice.My Black vinyl copy of Moon Safari sounds excellent to be honest.

It definitely could be.
Air, UNKLE and BoC fit all the clues if the "month coincides with release month" thing is false. All of them are out if it's true.
Yeah, I already own two copies of Moon Safari, I had zero copies of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix when it was released. That being said it is one of my favorite albums so it would be tempting but for me $40 for a niceTip-On Jacket would be pushing it. Though I have done it before.
If you're questioning it, then no. $130 could buy you a Moon Safari, and like 4 other albums that you'd want.
Very strange pick, IMO. Not essential at all. Not that it’s bad, but I would listen to a live version of every song on that album 10/10 times, instead of the studio take. It’s not a studio album I ever throw on because it’s a good album.
im more questioning it because i do want the hip hop ROTM for march and i think genocide and juice would be solid for me so its really only a super shaky january (my real join in month)
While I tend to agree with you (on favoring live versions and it being a puzzling pick) – it is worth noting that for Anthem The Dead actually interlaced live recordings with the studio recordings, so the album is a bit of a hybrid - which was a novel approach at the time.
Whut...?
For sure, very new and experimental concept at the time. And it works well. But if we’re going for definitive early Dead, just give me a really solid version of Live/Dead.
100%. I can't get enough of the Fillmore '69 shows, and even Two From the Vault. That version of "The Eleven" still gets me every time.
Yes, there are two. The original '68 and a more "commercial" version in '71. Both versions can be found on the 50th anniversary release (below). No idea which one VMP will be using, I suppose both would be interesting. The 50th anniversary release also included a live set from Winterland, 1967.
