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

The release descriptions continue to be awful...

"Recorded in between periods of tumult and distress--he was in and out of jail with a bear of a heroin addiction--Gordon is one of the finest men to ever put a reed in his mouth, and this album--particularly "Autumn in New York"--belongs in every discerning Jazzbo's collection."

Four dashes in one sentence! Who wrote this, Emily Dickinson?

Any of the jazz albums hard to get/must owns? It's not sounding like it from the descriptions

Dexter Gordon's Daddy Plays The Horn is one of his best. The OG is mad expensive and tricky to find. Im lucky to have the first UK pressing and even that was a super lucky find. That being said, if its DMM as @bobomac2 pointed out then I would likely pass on it if I were you.

Saying that though Im being a hypocrite as the others are standing out to me.....
 
You know, the crazy thing is, I'd buy all 4 of these if they were even slightly more reasonably priced, even if they're DMM. I know VMP's trying to cater to vinyl people that are clueless and have a lot of disposable income, but man, I have to think that pricing these at like $27 (still high!) would move them and still bring in solid profit. I don't know, it's their business I guess.

These aren’t big titles but I know at least that Dexter Gordon album is great and the Mingus album is good too though it is a compilation of earlier releases. I’m sure the others are good too. Hopefully they stick around for a while until people can comment on the sound quality. If they’re good I might pick them up. Bethlehem always had good sound quality on their jazz albums (In my experience at least) so even if they aren’t AAA, I’m sure they will sound pretty good.

Eh yeah I was tempted, but I just got the 2013 press of Book Cooks from Discogs for $25 shipped, so that's good. If VMP had just priced these a little better, I would've bought all four instead of using them for their curation and buying elsewhere. I'll comment on the quality of this version when it shows up although I don't know for sure if they're using the same metal or not.

That John denvir and the muppets is both a) a bargain bin staple and b) trash. A fool and their money are easily parted I guess. Miss Piggy Pink? Gonzo blue, Skooter Orange and Swedish Chef white variants must be going to the indies

My Squeaky Clean record cleaner came with a beat up copy of this under the platter.

Plus has VMP ever got a Christmas record out in time for Christmas?
 
Agreed with what has been said above. I have all of these on CD with decent masterings so not sure why I would replace with essentially the same fidelity (and note, these all sound good but they are not audiophile recordings). Agree that the Book is the best of the bunch but these are all pretty much second tier records for these artists.

Love when you Jazzbos save us jazz noobs from dropping stupid money on nonessential records.
 
the new exclusives are not for me (even for a muppets fan like me i dont need that christmas album)

i am waiting for a good album to use my 32 dollars credit on

Hey, now. That is seriously my favorite Christmas album. Luckily, I already own it, so no VMP temptation there.
