Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[Bluecloud777]

I did not receive my Blossom Dearie swap though with my July shipment. That could be a problem unless they are shipping those separate?

Regarding my orders (not Blossom) it seems they've shipped 4 out of 5 so far, and all have different tracking numbers. So highly assume it's shipped separately.

Ah man I didn’t know that Jonathan Richman sold out already. Shit.

This has been my favorite VMP-inspired discovery this year.

Black is only 20-21 at a lot of places where you can get free shipping.

This, Prince Paul (which is insane to me because immediately it sounded like one of the greatest hip hop albums I’d ever heard), and Steve & Teresa. Oh and Oliver Nelson

**Prince Paul I actually heard for the first time when we thought it was a RHH pick last year, but I’m including it here

Steve & Teresa was a @KenKaniff discovery for me--recommended some of Aloha Soul's stuff on bandcamp day awhile back!

So ridiculously good. Blown away. Not at all what I was expecting. Such a balm. It’s got such a great Joni Mitchell vibe. Probably why I love it.

The Blue Nile just did their reissue series and man it feels like those were super limited, I wasn’t aware and only ever grabbed Hats. I would love if VMP used the same plates and did A Walk Across the Rooftops as an Essential pick. Hats sounds incredible so...

Steve & Theresa and Holy Hive (shout out to @Ghost for that one) are my two favorite discoveries recently. I think VMP still has some good curation (their jazz releases have been as of late) but as with most of their releases now-a-days, I end up buying them elsewhere because VMP doesn't have many true exclusives anymore.

I think The Blue Nile- High is still available. Great record, on my list. Would highly recommend checking out the bonus track “Here Come the Bluebirds”.

I have been debating picking up High, I never really got into it before but haven't tried much. I love Hats and AWAR.

No shipping notice for my ROTM yet, but I did just get one for Punisher. Earlier than expected.

Nice. Can’t wait to get Punisher.

That's great news - been itching to get that on the turntable.

FWIW I’ve seen a lot of complaints about noisy pressings. Which is a bummer. Just a general issue. I don’t know if the VMP one is gonna be any different. Not sure where each one was pressed.

Pretty meh.

Pretty meh.

It seems like they have kind of a checklist with selections over the last few years. Like the artist chosen for the VMP Rising titles all feel like they were algorithmically chosen to “play next” off of someone’s Spotify playlist. It’s fine, it just all feels very same-y.

It seems with every Rising release, I’ll listen to it once on Spotify and think “Hey that’s not bad. Pretty enjoyable. Maybe I’ll pick this up.” And then proceed to forget about it completely within a day.

I actually bought a UK pressing as well from Juno, blue/green swirly. We will see which one sounds better.
