Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I guess if they're gonna fuck it up I'm glad it's not the sound.

Just LITERALLY every other aspect.

So this copy of Air has to be the worst QC VMP has done to me. Major seam splits. No labels on the record. And huge gouges broken off on the edge of two ends of the disc. Full on wtf territory.

Sounds good though.

They should send you TWO replacement copies for that bullshit

The no-label looks kinda sexy actually. Until you get to the nasty edges anyway.

I let my subscription lapse at the end of January, couldn't justify the price increase. I guess losing me as a member really impacted their quality control

I see you got the variant with the label and no jagged edges.

I love the soundtrack, but then it makes me think about the movie, which makes me feel all weird.

I love the soundtrack, book, and movie. It’s a rare trifecta for me.

I’ve never seen the movie, but otherwise… agree.

Sofia Coppola nails it. The movie is more focused on the girls outright than in the book where the boys obsession with the Lisbon girls is more the focus. But the movie still connects in a similar way.

Great film, in no small part thanks to the great soundtrack.

You know, I've avoided watching the movie because I liked the book so much. I'll give it a shot.

So… the mastering is great. Never heard it on vinyl before, but certainly the best I’ve heard it sound.

The bad news… the soundstage has a nice whoosh. Side two has our lovely favorite gz crackle.

The good news - didn’t notice any of this when it was actually playing.

Yeah, my black vinyl pressing sounds pretty excellent minus the swooshing and crackle. I was thinking about pick this up (for a third time) but none of the reviews had been mind blowing. The color is nice and I would dig a gatefold sleeper but to pay VMP prices it’s gotta sound the absolute best and this just seems on par.

This has been a one l-sided conversation of me talking myself out of buying a record.

I mean i didn’t own a copy so I just let the add on from Dylan ride. Since I’m an idiot and signed up for Parton deluxe anthology, I’ll be bowing out after this month. I had planned to swap Musgraves for one of the three or four country back issues I’d like.

It’s a great album. Everyone should own at least one copy. The bar is just set very high for me to add a third copy.

I love the album, glad to have a copy. Is Le voyage dans la lune on vinyl? That’s my sheeeet.

Everyone?
