That’s correct. Waaaay before my time so I missed out on it. Hope to snag it today.

Why not add a track and swap that?

If you add a track now you'll have to make sure that you get thru to customer service once you sign up asap. I did that last month to get in for Prince Paul and they shipped out a Future record the next morning. They gave me credit but the process was a pain

That's not true in my personal experience.

Gotcha, well as of last month when we found out it was Prince Paul i emailed them after signing up (as swaps were obviously still closed) and by the time they got to my email requesting credit to be used towards Prince Paul, as opposed to Future, Future was already on its way. Eventually they were able to credit my account, so I got Future for free, but it was an annoying 48 hours for sure being that the 1st was coming up and my funds were TIGHT. Happened to me when i jumped back in for Salt n Peppa too but obviously everyone has different CS experiences.
Pauly told me to next time email them before you sign up prior to announcement so they can get ahead of the shipping department

I added Essentials the day of swaps last month (before the announcement) and I was able to swap to what I wanted.

Gotcha, I added before because of the Prince Paul hype that was building. Didn't want to miss it in case this was another Tical situation lol

In the past I totally would have done that, but this month I told myself I’d cut back on vinyl purchases. We‘ll see how successful I am in that effort...

Understandable. If Noname is there I'm definitely adding a swap and grabbing one (even though it'll inevitably oversell and then they'll just give out credits).

Buhloone Mind State, Erykah Badu, Mm...Food out of the tracks. Mobb Deep for exclusives. Otherwise I've been pretty lucky in getting what I want, either at the time of release, a later repress, or just buying it out in the world.

Flight to Brazil and Blue Note box set.
Edit: But honestly I'd settle for Shabaka at this point.

Has anyone actually gotten a clean copy of Shabaka yet? Because I want it but I can't deal with six copies in a row with end of side crackle.

To be honest, I've not listened my copy yet. If I don't listen to it, I won't hear the crackle.

I'd like to get your opinion on a few other things, I feel like it may simplify my life...

Speaking of crackle, I swear everything I've put on recently sounds static-y and questioned my hardware / cleaning methods. But right now just threw on Denzel Curry - Zuu and this thing sounds literally perfect so now I think I just have been on a run of getting / putting on my worse off presses
