Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Joe Mac]

Didn't they just did it with Mars Volta?

That essentials was like 18 months ago and I think the rest were about 6 months after it. Long gone are the days when they used to regularly do complimentary store drops. Kinda sad, I used to like that.

I could do with Fever to Tell on vinyl with a side of Show Your Bones. There haven’t been copies of Fever To Tell all that easy to get for a while and Show Your Bones is very rare.

I hope 1983 album is Swordfishtrombones and they have store drops of Rain Dogs, Franks Wild Years oh and Bone Machine...am I asking for too much? I don't think so!

Or an anthology with those years...

I could see The Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse for 1996 and I wouldn’t hate it.

I got this once on a whim from Sound of Vinyl back when they were just churning out variants. Now it's one I'm probably going to sell because that price is ridiculous.

I was out of the VMP loop for a while and thought they got VMP'd around the same time.

I just remember because I signed back up for the essentials and never got a crackle free copy!

That would be an example of

a wider release of those albums (and how could there not be) and they had like, color exclusives or something.

Omg I bought that one because I wanted it forever, and a week later traded it in to my local because it sounded like trash

Yes. It sounds really bad which is why it's just been sitting here. I need strike while the iron's hot.

Fever to Tell would be one album to bring me back, but that HAS to have a repress coming up, right?

I thought they did a repress of this recently, looked it up and turns out it was 2017 and prices for it are bonkers now, WTF?

Vinyl collecting in 2023, in a nutshell.

Fever to Tell would be perfect. Especially since my girlfriend and I just bought tickets to see the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s in May.

For 2003 I would love if they did The Rapture Echoes

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite would be a cool pick for 1996! Goes for over $100 on cogs

Death cab for cutie or postal service seem like the obvious pick for 2003

Not the hardest to find but for 83 I would love to get Madonna’s self titled

Ænima would truly be a "they actually did that?!" release.

 

[avecigrec]

That all said, we all want something like Maxwell, Tool, Ween, Soul Coughing, Ginuwine, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul or Tricky - but deep down we all know this is what we're gonna get:

But a kid in a Tool t-shirt was mean to Storf in high school so that will never happen unfortunately.

Is that Storf's dad? You can't unsee it now, can you?

That kid was probably Matt Fiedler, so maybe?
