Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Am I the only person who thinks we're getting ripped off with the new posters

We used to get 12X12 artwork every month and now we get much smaller posters and to get anything being like 10x4 you got to pay like 40 bucks for a special one

Also they are still doing very basic ones like the pussy cats once being the one on the back of the zine

If they wanted to get rid of the posters (and the books) and charge me ten dollars less a release, I’d be down.

Box arrived today and while I originally planned on starting off with ODB, I somehow was drawn to Willie instead. I wasn't too familiar with the album beforehand but I can't imagine it's ever sounded better than this. Really great pressing and the music is beautiful. Definitely recommend.

Records of the Month coming to VMP in April, May and June 2024

Keep reading below to learn about the second quarter of records coming to VMP in 2024.

www.vinylmeplease.com

Looks like whoever wrote this just took the previous quarter’s announcement and poorly copy-pasted new info in. Nilsson’s album “Nightbirds” is in Essentials. Black Moses is the March Essentials ROTM.

Then there’s just poor copy-editing like T. Rex’s “self-titled folk-rock self-titled album.”

Sorry as a writer/copy editor myself, seeing these obvious and numerous mistakes is triggering.

If they could just hire an editor, I bet he would fix all these issues.

Copy writing has been VMP's arch nemesis for as long as I can remember. It'd seem weird to me if they started being good at it now.

Confirmed Hissing Of Summer Lawns. One of the best albums ever.

That currently has a really great audiophile pressing from last year in shops and an upcoming super audiophile fancy pants 2x45 upcoming. They could have been way more imaginative.

I feel like Hejira would have been a great (safe) pick seeing as the next Joni box set/reissues haven't been announced and as far as I know isn't on deck for another audiophile release.

Yeah. I’d have loved late 90s and early 00s stuff. Never on vinyl and she had such great return to form that decade.

Pussy Cats - the great buddy comedy we never knew we were missing...

Andrew Winistorfer, Director of Music and Editorial said, "This 50th-anniversary edition of Harry Nilsson’s album with John Lennon restores dignity to this set of songs. Pussy Cats’s origin story is one of music’s more epic creation stories: Harry Nilsson blew out his vocal cords and left literal blood on the mic, which turned this album into some crime scene or Greek tragedy. But it’s not that at all! It’s the sound of friends spending two fun, loose weeks together making songs — audible kinship."
