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

May be in for all 3 . Was hoping Goodie Mob would show up this month, or PUTS since I slept on it, I’ve really been digging that Frederick Knight so it’s a keeper for me, even it seems like an unpopular choice that will probably stick around. ( Been driving around listening to your love’s all over me for a week now )

On the fence with Quas the voice is a bit annoying to me. I’ll give it another listen but I may just pass and get something from my Discogs.

I found the Quas voice a little rougher to deal with on this album than on his first Quasimoto album. There's a lot going on in the album as well for sure

Yes. I absolutely love Madlib's production on it, but something about the Quas voice was the only thing holding me back. I was trying to think of it like Prince's Camille character but it wasn't quite working. 😂

The Donnie Hathaway is awesome. I'd highly recommend it

Yeah, I gave the Dexter Gordon a listen and while it’s good, it didn’t really jump out at me like some of his other albums have.

Donnie’s grown on me since VMP’s release so I’m gonna swap Classics for it this month. I’m keeping Lord Quas and... I might drop Essentials this month and maybe grab the Strokes in March. It seems most ROTMs are sticking around for at least a month or two.
 
Might have gotten suckered into the "bridge" deal, but it was the same $ overall monthly as my initial plan 5 years ago and split between PayPal payments so:

This month was tough for me.... I'm on the Classic track and am completely okay with this month's pick but trying to be strategic. I'm guessing it will be around for future swaps? The Strokes was super tempting but I already have an alright pressing of Room on Fire but was tempted due the look and stats of the VMP pressing. Is this VMP version newly remastered though?

It's a lot of... classic world pop on disc 1? Kinda, disc two is not so much world pop..I like it, but it's different for sure. The pressing is very nice and the mastering is very nice and I absolutely LOVE the final track. Have a listen. I guess it really depends on what you were expecting...

Sorry Mather on editing my initial post! "When I popped on at 2 PST saw that the Khruangbin Late Night Exclusive and swapped on that without listening to it yet, reading later it is mediocre in track picks?"

Not to flog a sparklehorse (yes, I am clever), but this box sounds SO good. Packaging is great, booklet is great, sleeves are great, mastering is great, pressings are great. It's like hearing these albums for the first time again. I highly recommend it. So choice.

This is not what wanted to hear (from a money standpoint) but exactly what I needed to hear (from a collection standpoint). I think I am gonna sign up to get the Lord Quas ROTM and purchase this on Friday when I get paid.

Is it still for sale? If so, YES. I am on the last side of Good Morning Spider right now and it is heaven.

EDIT: Also, if you don't want to sign back up, I would be happy to grab those for you, homie!

Yeah, last I checked earlier today it was still up for “presale”.

Thanks man but I was planning on signing up for Lord Quas anyhow and I have $65 in store credit burning a hole in my pocket. When I sign back up for a month I’ll get free shipping and the discounted member price means it’s kinda like I’m getting the Quasimoto LP for free.
