I love me some $50CAD+ GZ pressed vinyl.
EDIT: And you know there's probably going to be a wider release with similar pressing details, much cheaper and will be in people's hands at least two months sooner, but it's genius to get that FOMO going before people realize that if they want this album, they'll be likely to get it for less later on.

If I was to spend it on a store exclusive, I would spend it on either:
1. Blackfoot - Youth Power ($29)
2. Pastor T.L. Barrett - Do Not Pass Me By ($23)
3. Dadawah - Peace and Love: Wadadasow ($30)
4. Ali Farka Touré - The Res Album ($32)
The Ali Farka Touré is absolutely superb and is easily my favourite from the bunch of recommendations! It’s meditative, raw, beautiful and has this naked, ravenous and stunning aesthetic! It’s such a beautiful album! The GZ pressing sounds exceptional too!

I am extremely happy that VMP are doing this!!! The colour variant looks stunning and It’s great to know 2,500 copies were pressed - I can buy a copy of this later this month or in a few months time and not worry about it selling out!View attachment 101207

I love Songs In A Minor so much! It was one of the first 10 records I ever purchased and it was actually the very first record I played on my turntable; it was a Music On Vinyl pressing! The pressing sounded pretty great but I ruined my copy by misusing the Spin Clean on it. As a result, my copy is super crackly, and I always planned on replacing that copy and always hoped that VMP would do an exclusive (because they did an exclusive of The Diary Of Alicia Keys
)!Even though this exclusive is expensive, I couldn’t be more happier about it! Wish it was 180g though, but I’m sure the pressing will sound and look great! Overall, extremely happy that one of my favourite R&B albums of the 21st Century is getting the VMP treatment!

Apart from the AK20 sign, I really like that alternate cover! Looks amazing! The colour variant also looks great too! Only thing is I’m a bit mixed about the two bonus tracks being equipped at the end of the track listing! I really like that side D starts with the chilling “Never Felt This Way” with the original/current pressings! And Lovin’ U is such a wholesome, vintage sounding, heartfelt closer too that sounds like a lost Aretha Franklin song! Can’t imagine another song following afterwards! Looking forward to seeing what the deluxe treatment packaging for this anniversary release will look like!View attachment 101222

I can - assuming you're willing to pay me for it now and wait for December ship (and also understand the inevitable issues that might come with ordering from VMP!)
Message me if so.

I can always update you on stock numbers @Fleetwood-Matt too! I’m at work at the moment, but on my break I’ll do a stock check and will let you know how it’s selling!
The Diary Of Alicia Keys is sold out, but it took more than 3 months for it to sell out, so I’m sure Songs In A Minor will be in store for a while, especially as VMP pressed 500 more copies in comparison to The Diary Of Alicia Keys!

For those who are wondering, there are 1,688 copies remaining of the Songs In A Minor exclusive! So there’s still plenty in stock, with just over 800 selling! With 2/3 still in stock, I’m sure this will stick around for at least a few months! Cannot wait to get this at the end of the year though; it will definitely feel like I’m getting a Christmas present!

That's much better than my usual tactic of wanting to get something now while I know I don't have the money for it!

All 4 of the named releases above are great. Totally agree the Ali Farka Toure is amazing, so is the Orchestra Baobab 'Specialist In All Styles' which is in a bundle with Toure. The Dadawah is a Trojan reggae classic.If I was to spend it on a store exclusive, I would spend it on either:
1. Blackfoot - Youth Power ($29)
2. Pastor T.L. Barrett - Do Not Pass Me By ($23)
3. Dadawah - Peace and Love: Wadadasow ($30)
4. Ali Farka Touré - The Res Album ($32)

I personally enjoyed the Baobab more than the Farka, such a mesmerizingly good piece of music.

The Baobab is absolutely incredible too! I’m playing it tonight!
