Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Rahawk2 said:
Kanye West is much too big to be a RHH track it NEEDS to go in Essentials with such HUGE names like uh Jim Sullivan .

Haha yeah, that's def the issue they seem to fluctuate in curation strategies. Is this track just for artists with high demand, or is it for music discovery things they deem are "essential" to own? I predict this will be another month where the side tracks will suck up all the attention and swaps.

Edit: Also even mentioning Kanye for them seems very pie-in-the-sky. If UMG cared about making $$ off these I think they would just make them themselves.

I’m just joking, I know not to get hung up on the name Essentials. Its just kind of funny to me . I can imagine an employee coming in yelling We just got Mariah, she’s perfect for Essentials. !!! VMP CEO shoos him away declaring Mariah who? We got Jim Freaking Sullivan buddy

This sounds like a scene in VINYL followed by Ritchie screaming at his AR staff

Regarding the October ROTM, isn't October about when REM's Monster is getting it's 25 anniversary reissue?

You’ll need to buy that from a store with actual choice. A Northern Irish radio ace scenester posted last year that he had just listened to Monster again and found that not all the tracks were good. What a hot take. Next he’ll be saying he looked at the moon and saw it was in the sky. He was wrong Monster should be taken in the context of Iggy Pop rather than R.E.M. It’s a strong album with knockout moments.
 
I’M SO EXCITED FOR ALL THE OCTOBER ROTM’s!!!!! 💎🤗🌈

Storf said there will be no exclusives to go with the September ROTM’s but there will be exclusives to go with 2/3 of the ROTM’s in October!

We know the Classics ROTM this October will be from Fania Records, and it looks like we just got the exclusives to go with that Classics ROTM! So that means we should be getting exclusives to go with the October Essentials and Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM’s! 🙇‍♂️🤔💡

So hyped up for October!! And then the month after we will get the Black Friday Sale!!! Wooo! 🥳🙌😎

Or you might just get more Fania.
 
I would love it to be R.E.M. but how can they possibly follow such names as Jim Sullivan, The Silvertones, Phoenix and Experience Unlimited. We’re talking A game here people and one of R.E.M.’s lesser albums doesn’t compete with any of these Essentials.






I actually think this lesser R.E.M. album would be one of the best releases VMP touched but I doubt they would be able to handle it properly. Lots of people (like me) have tons of R.E.M. albums but are missing this and New Adventures/Up/Reveal due to the CD boom and are patiently awaiting reissues. Stop suggesting good albums. It makes the disappointment even worse when you find out it’s Haddaway rather than Prince’s Love Symbol album or Scatman John rather than New Adventures In High Fi.


And the saddest part of all... i’d Rather have Haddaway or Scatman John than the last few album choices. Scatman’s World Crying Out for a reissue people.


As is Hulk Hogan’s Hulk Rules.

The question is has Slimer told Egon that R.E.M. is “out there” enough so he can relay to storf that it’s essential...

Possibly they could angle ‘Hey we’re the first to say this is their best album dudes. Y’all missed this first time around but What’s the Frequency Kenneth? was a jammmmm bros!!’ Also Tongue?!!!? Like Stipe be singing way high, like a girl on that track. Reminds me of Barry Gibb. Slamming. And remember we’re the first to say it’s great.’

I would be happy with that, but I want something more exciting and refreshing. Fingers crossed we get exclusives for the Essentials and Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM’s!

You could not buy the exclusives and save the money to buy Jill Jones. You would play it more and be one step closer to being like me. Win - win

Can you kidnap?!?! 🤫

So then you can immerse me in Prince’s discography and all the other albums from the 80’s that exist because of him (The Family, The Time, Vanity 6 etc). That would be a dream come true! 🤤

Your favourite Prince album is “Controversy”, so I know there’s something unique about you! 😉

Actually Parade is my favourite Nathan. It’s just so we’ll played and produced. Amazing.
