I just got my Soundwaves variant in the mail from Aloha Got Soul, once again excellent packaging and great sounding record. Assuming the VMP ones can't be too far behind.

I'm just saying its comparative, and for international subscribers a no-brainer.

The indie exclusive is 27€ at my local

And I’m sure they’ll be an even cheaper standard version. All I was saying was compared to $37 and $38 shipped in the US for the FF store variants, VMPs wasn’t that overpriced for members.

$40 and doesn't ship until February. Ouch!

Not VMP's call on the ship date - even though it was released to digital streams this morning, the album doesn't officially come out until Feb 5th

Agreed.
I'm all for bashing VMP when it makes sense. In this case, it's clearly not their decision.
I would expect the usual delays with this but their estimated ship date is in line with Fleet Foxes

Omg, VMP are teasing an M.I.A. related post on Twitter !!!

I’m so excited that VMP might be doing some M.I.A. exclusives in the future! I really hope they make Arular or Kala a future Essentials ROTM! I have a feeling it’s a strong possibility now!

Yeah but remember the teasing of JPEGMAFIA exclusive?

Exactly! You can't trust them! Unless they drag out the teasing for a long time like they did with Fiona Apple!

Referring to the Marbled Red version from the Fleet Foxes site.

They had the blue version signed as well initially

You know what I really want VMP to release (probs too 'small' for an essential), M.I.A. ‎– Arular. That album slaps but even the UK pressings for sale on discogs all seem to be in Europe, I cant find an affordable copy here anywhere.

This is insane, I literally mentioned a few weeks ago that I wanted a VMP M.I.A package. Would love for them to go for Arular but really any would be a great set!

This would be great. Would love a pressing of Matangi (Only because it's the only one I don't have). But if it was a new essential press, I'd probably double dip on any of them.

VMP has finally started sending replacement jackets instead of full replacements. A big win imo.

Damn, AAA . These might get me.

Same here. AP version of That’s My Story has great reviews.

 

[NathanRicaud]

Damn, AAA . These might get me.

I have a feeling these VMP exclusives were mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio too because the last John Lee Hooker reissue that was from Craft - Country Blues of John Lee Hooker - was AAA, 180g and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio!

 

[Mather]

For what it's worth these are on Craft and will almost certainly get a wide release black reissue to accompany these at a lower price. Although I will say that at least in Canada, Craft isn't super cheaply priced so these might not be THAT far off from the black MSRP but I'm guessing these are at least 5-7 dollars more.

On top, both these John Lee Hooker exclusives came out in 1960 - 60th anniversary reissue. The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker came out last year in 2019 for its 60th anniversary reissue!

I think this is definitely mastered by Kevin Gray! Would be good if VMP can confirm!

This is good information. As long as a AAA copy is readily accessible and not limited then I could probs hold off on these.
