I might have purchased a Now This Is 90s Country Hits album that was recently pressed. Had some Brooks and Dunn, Billy Ray. Sexy tractors and the like. Good times

That sounds like a solid comp I have almost picked up those Now Thats what I Call Yacht Rock comps a couple times but never pulled the trigger.

I just can’t with Country. I can’t force myself but it just really isn’t for me unless it’s Patsy Cline or Max DeMarco or Stardust by Willie Nelson! I’m not even a fan of At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash. That’s my music taste...it’s very non-country. I’m trying but just can’t...🙈😶

PS - I didn’t enjoy the Orville Peck song. I can’t even critique it because that sound just isn’t for me at all...

For the last time, Max Demarco isn’t country! 😉
 
tracks i hope for
Hard Rock (Metal, Punk, Garage, Emo, Noise Rock, etc)
Dance (EDM, IDM, House, Trance, Dubstep, etc)

Tracks it probably will be
Crate Digger (Now Again leftovers, LITA leftovers, Mr Bongo leftovers)
Country (Sam Hunt as the ROTM and a ton of other bro acts with the occasional highwomen or similar artist)

Stop being so pessimistic Dukey! 😆

If it is a Crate-Diggers' track we get, they will be great choices! They won't be Light In The Attic/Now Again/Mr. Bongo leftovers, trust me! VMP have already been working on the track and would have a strong line-up already! They would pick great records, like Orchestra Baobab/Ali Farka Touré! 💯

I am more than onfident VMP will consistently deliver excellent ROTM picks for the Crate-Diggers ROTM track! 👍
 
I thought I'd just do a random stock check on Shabaka & The Ancestors and it says there's only 40 left in stock. So that means VMP would've taken around 300 copies out, to put into the September Swaptions! 🔥 🔥 🔥

And maybe they did take some Whitney Houston out as well, to put into the September Swaptions too! Not sure about that though (especially as its been selling quite well in comparison to the Shabaka), but I am pretty certain Shabaka & The Ancestors will be in the next Swaptions! 🤞

Although the Swaptions weren't amazing for August (there were some nice surprises though - Sampa The Great, MF DOOM, Holy Hive, BBNG, Jason Isbell), I think the September Swaptions might be a bit better just with Shabaka & The Ancestors being in there! 😃

That is quite optimistic given the fact that they have a track record of 0 for unearthing crate digger records outside of the labels mentioned. and frankly there is a reason that specialized labels are working on that. Finding and curating is not easy but maybe doable but than tracking down rights owners, clearing these rights, getting masters from long folded micro labels etc etc is tedious hard work that vmp could only manage if they invest in people that do that. in the past they have tried to shoulder gigantic projects like the anthologies with the people they have already on board leading to e.g. the extras on the anthologies being rather lackluster. And those were easy projects with established labels and well documented artists.

I would not call orchestra baobab or Ali farkas Toure crate digger. Those are bona fide world music staples . A world music sub would maybe make sense. That could be in the realm of possibilities of things vmp could manage

100%! I can't see VMP getting even close to what Samy has been doing with Analog Africa or Vik with Ostinato Records, just to name these two.

I feel so naive now! I feel like there's less of a chance of VMP doing a crate-diggers track then in 2021! You guys are both so right, VMP hasn't shown themselves to be the kind of company that can do exclusive Crate-Digger like exclusives on their own! 😶

Frankly, they don't have to. there are great labels specialized in this. They are not even a label. Their a subscription service with sometimes stellar rotms. If they would work on fixing the problems they have I' d be back on board soon. But it seems they have all these guys dreaming about new cool projects that no one really likes to do the boring work that goes into fixing fulfillment, quality control, customer service, their store software etc.

I think that would be good though so then more people are exposed to the music and it further supports those labels/artists too! As VMP is the biggest vinyl club, it will be huge for those artists/labels to get that exposure! Because ROTM's are huge! They're advertised on Instagram, and sell a lot! I'm definitely for it! And I think VMP will collaborate with a lot of different labels and will choose excellent albums and will give it that extra special treatment :love:
