Damnnnnn they really are releasing some killer jazz today.

AAA Pressing and first US reissue. Very nice package.

Im lucky enough to have a first UK pressing and have always wondered why more of his albums have not had a proper reissue campaign.

Damn! Just used my credit on Omega! And this won't make it to swaps with only 1,000 copies because it will be a preorder until June.

I take it, it is a good album?

Tinaa'd on the basis it's Yusef Lateef, pressed at RTI & mastered by Ryan Smith for £22 shipped. I honestly, haven't heard a note of this one.

Yeah its an unusual one within his discography though as he sticks to a bop-orientated theme rather than the more Eastern sounds that you typically link him to. Really enjoyable album though, Lateef focuses on the saxophone over a mix of instruments (although he does use a double-reed arghul and flute a couple of times).

Oooooh nice and I have credit! I saw Immanuel live a few years back as part of Joel Ross' group and he killed it, such fantastic playing.

@NathanRicaud you should remember him?

63 minutes as well!! Hells bells.

Edit: Dug out a photo I took at the gig. Check out that jacket!!!

Yes, I remember him Selaws! HE WAS AMAZING!!! I loved his performance so much that night! His saxophone playing was really sexy, vigorous, passionate, moody and robust! I absolutely love this VMP exclusive drop as well as the Yussef Lateef one! Pressing details for both releases look great too! 😍

Easiest buy (wait, I'm on No Buy 2021) use of credits in a while and makes me happy I swapped for Credit in my final month with VMP. This was probably my 2nd favourite Jazz album of 2020 after the Ambrose album.

Yeah, I bit on this as well... first non-subscription store purchase for me since August or Sept I think?
 
There is under 50 copies left of Djo’s Twenty Twenty!!! This will go within the next 30 mins! Be quick!!! 🚨🚨🚨👀⏳

Twenty Twenty dreamy, psychedelic, nocturnal, playful experience that is 💎🔥🔥🔥

If you like Tame Impala, and Mac DeMarcl, then this release will be up your alley! 🎯
 
This week’s store exclusives are all incredible!!! It’s been a while since I’ve loved every VMP exclusive store drop in the same week!!! 🌈🥊🎯🏆⭐️

I purchased the Djo because it’s about to sell out, and when I get paid tonight, I’ll be buying the other two VMP exclusives! 😍

Hmm. On the fence. I have the $15 credit and both jazz releases seem good. But do I want to spend $50 today....I said I'd not buy as much... LarryDavid.gif

For me, they’re both such incredible jazz releases! And the pressing details for the Yusef Lateef in particular is 💎💎💎

I just love these two jazz exclusives! Both are stellar albums and the variants and pressing details for these two releases are great in my opinion! 👌

Agreed. But I'm running out of space and cash lol. I'm over the 700 mark.

Choose just one of them then as you have some store credit too! They are both such good releases that I don’t know which one I want to recommend! If you want to go by the sound quality of the pressing, then Yusef Lateef will be the better one as it’s Ryan Smith, AAA and pressed at RTI! 😍❤️

I am also certain the Yusef Lateef will sell out first out of the two jazz releases! 💯

I listened to the preview and thought it sucked. Who was buying that?

Yeah, I can imagine a lot of people not digging this at all actually! 😂

I dig this lovesick, trippy, gloomy, hazy album though and can’t wait to play it at the apartment when I’m just chilling in my room with a cocktail! 🍸🙊

I as well was seriously underwhelmed, but that's the joy of music...it's all subjective. Spent my store drop money on some much needed Hendrix for my collection instead. My initial thought on this was "Oh, that guy from Stranger Things has an album", and then I checked it out and thought "Good for him, it's not terrible, but definitely not something I'd listen to".
