Damn them, I may be signing back on to this rollercoaster.

I'd say this is the most solid their lineups have been in a long time.

The September picks may be the best single month selections I've ever seen from VMP.

August even stronger for me. Serious shiz…

What Sharrock was available? Ask the Ages, the exclusive? I have a copy, but it seems out of play when they make these available again later (although not without VMP precedent and with no ill will toward anyone else who was able to grab that fantastic album)

This is just a guess but I don't think VMP repressed Sharrock. It was originally limited to 2,000 copies and perhaps VMP held back 100 or so that ended up in Swaps?

Yea, that's likely and smart, I guess, to be able to keep some fire for swaps and keep people invested for months where they don't like the picks but might be able to snag something from the past they missed.

Yeah, those Sonny Sharrocks were almost certainly held back as replacements and VMP decided to put them in swaps instead of throwing them in with a TBT drop.

where do I go now to ask for stock? want to compare stocks of Kid Cudi, Redman, and Young Thug.
EDIT: redman < young thug < kid cudi, but not by much

His new age gem ...Keyboard Fantasies... was reissued yet again this year on Transgressive Records. Very meditative and soothing, although certainly not for everyone.

IIRC can't check stock on ROTM. Only store drops.

3 Month Thoughts:
1) Strong Rap/Hip Hop drops. If I didn't own them all already, I'd grab each of em.
2) Not too impressed by the country tracks, but will likely grab that Dolly
3) Couldn't be happier for a VMP Mars Volta release
4) Do I need the VMP Bill Withers when I can grab a VG+ for like $15 cheaper?
5) That Public Enemy varian is sexy as hell

Is it a AAA pressing?

That may be the release to bring me back in... Love that album, and it looks great.

Public Enemy plus Wu-Tang plus Outkast means I'm staying for the next few months. Like damn, they pulled out the big guns

I'm a huge fan. Not fully like anything or anyone else. And a fascinating person. Very excited for this to be the last Essentials of my sub. This is a great retrospect if you want a broader look:

Also, the liner notes for the physical release of the compilation are written by Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) whom I also very much love.

All today's announcement did was remind me that I should've grabbed Lee Morgan's Take Twelve when I saw it at my local for $16 a year or two ago. Ugh. Considering I passed on it then, it's unlikely I'll willingly pay 2-3x as much this time around (I'm sure it will be a nice reissue, though).
As for the other titles announced, I already have a decent OJC copy of the Abbey Lincoln, don't like Mars Volta, and I'm not a big enough hip-hop or country fan to be tempted by anything else (tbf, I'm sure that Bill Withers is nice but I already have a couple of his albums and don't need any more atm). I guess I'm safe!
