Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Muddy Waters would be a great pickup. Stankonia from Essentials would be cool too but I would also feel a little weird owning 3 and 4 for me in their main albums and not 1 and 2 lol. Also, not spending $43/$80 for them. Let me start crying after inevitably missing Curren$y on Saturday and I may drown my sorrows in Redman lol.

Not that familiar with POTS and for some reason that Big Boi didn't click with me at the time and never really went back to it. I'll have to give it another shot but can't see me wanting to spend $43 on it.

Oh, sorry....I meant Phy Graf is my fave Zep, not ever. I don't know if boring is necessarily right. It's just I listened to them so much when I was younger. Of course, there are other bands the same. I listened to albums like NIN DS, or SP Siamese Dream/MCIS, or Floyd's DSOTM ad nauseum in my youth but I still come back to those.

I won't denigrate Zep as a whole but just my own listening habits make me unlikely to put on, say, Zep I or II. They were doing what they were doing excellently - but it doesn't excite me the way it used to. It holds its place in the rock Mt Olympus for a reason; I just don't pray to those gods anymore.

I can relate, for the last 20+ years I’ve considered Zep one of my top 2 favorite artists, but I burned out on their records when I was younger and nowadays the only one I can must the energy to spin is Presence (sometimes In Through the Out Door and maaaaybe Physical Graffiti).

Lacquers cut by Ryan Smith, plated at QRP, pressed at GZ. Not sure how that stacks up against the current available pressing

Thanks to you and @duke86fan for the details. Yea that last part is what I am most curious about...I already own Stankonia and deciding if I should re-sub for the bridge deal. I think I might be out though...I figure if I truly end up wanting any of these pressings, I can always grab them as a single release on discogs later. Nothing jumped out at me as a must have aside from Dreams which is already getting another reissue at LITA.

Yeah I’m feeling the fomo tug for real on Outkast and Redman but I think I’m calling it a month with Dreams and JLH. Those are two that will get plenty of rotations up in here, can’t say the same about Outkast and Redman :/

I already grabbed the restock of JLH a few weeks back and that was the one I would have felt a little bummed about missing.
