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

i'm hoping that getting an ad from VMP promoting MM Food on vinyl was just a complete coincidence and they aren't actually intending to profit off the death of a legend

Everybody is profiting off of it. Most of his albums have gotten preorder links since he passed away. Stones Throw is repressing most of them. I'm fine with it if his family is getting some money from it and as long as they aren't jacking up prices.

I still refuse to buy anything at Shuga Records now because within hours of John Prine's passing, they tripled the prices on any John Prine albums they had in stock.

That's insane, talk about lack of empathy!

In regards to the DOOM stuff, it doesn't surprise me to see the second-hand market trying to cash in as well. A while ago I sold the full collection of Special Herbs as it was taking up a lot of shelf space and I was not really playing them that much. I had it listed for what I thought was a reasonable amount of £110 for the full set of 5 (plus 5 7" singles) and it took a few weeks to sell. I had a look earlier at discogs and people are listing a single release for £90+.

Amen. Charley Pride's store jacked up the prices of the autographed LPs to $40 each (from 20) after his passing but I was cool with it because it goes to his family who runs the store.
It's bound to happen and people will take advantage. I've been making room in my collection and selling stuff off and I actually just sold my Vaudeville Villian a few weeks ago, since I already had 3 other doom albums and could have used the the money. Got a nice chunk for it but obviously having some remorse now (not for waiting to jack the price up more, but because It's a great album and now I don't know when/if I'll ever be able to use the money).

And 100% on Shuga records. I used to purchase from there semi-regularly, but that Prine thing was real sleazy from an actual store. There's so many great record shops out there that I would rather support after that.

Except for Vaudeville Villian :(. Somehow missed the repress when they dropped it in 2019.

Hey @NathanRicaud can you stock check Motor City Scene and The Nucleus when you get a chance? Thanks man!

There are 203 copies left of Motor City Scene and 313 copies left of Galt MacDermot’s The Nucleus!

Out of the two, I’m pretty sure the Galt MacDermot will sell out first! It’s only USD$25, is AAA and hasn’t shipped yet! It’s also the better record in my opinion!

I used to be really into some of those Southern Californian Christian Ska Tambourine bands circa like 1996. Bands like "Deuter-SKA-nomy", "Skankin' Jesus", "Footsteps In the SKA-nd" and and my personal fav "Jesus Plays The Trumpet". But they really went downhill after their debuts, although I thought JPTT's follow up "Between A Rock and a Ska Place" was pretty solid but in the end it only briefly resurrected their career.

I was a big fan of Los Ska-ngeles myself.
