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

I jumped in for FTM since I had 30 in credit due to some seam splits, so it only feels like I'm spending 26 bucks.

So…when will you all be complaining about noise ?

Not GZ pressed so there's that.

On a related note: Man, Pitchfork despised MV didn't they?

I'm already drafting up several different versions of my complaints, I will adjust later for accuracy.

I have said this before a few times; MV has never done much for me. I would much rather listen to ATDI or Sparta than any MV release. Obviously to each their own though, glad I don’t have to drop $60 on this one.

Sometimes, a man just needs to listen to a helium voiced dude theatrically wailing about unintelligible cosmic mysticism and sexing Cthulhu in Spanish while another dude just goes fucking ape on a guitar over dubs of cars crashing in reverse and children laughing.

And when a man needs to hear such things, a man turns to The Mars Motherfucking Volta.

I’m good.

Yep I’m in agreement with most of this. Relationship of Command is an all time great for me and I like the rest of their stuff. I enjoy De-Loused when I’m in the right mood but the rest of MV just doesn’t interest me. I always found Sparta that bit too straight tbh.

Yeah, to each their own. I thought Wiretap Scars was killer.

100% this. Relationship of command is where it all fits together for me. Strange that vmp never did this as " his station is non-operational" is a sort of mission statement for them

 

[goodoohuru]

Days like today I'm glad I'm only a "casual" Mars Volta fan whose interest pretty much began and ended with Deloused.

Yeah, thanks to VMP I was able to purchase my first MV album, but on the flip side, the experience of acquiring a decent copy of the album from them, muted any motivation I had of exploring the band further.

I've saved a lot of money today, its a good day.

An all time favorite of mine. D-bags canceled both times I had tickets and then broke up though, so I'm a little bitter at Sparta.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

I bought Frances. To me:
Relationship of Command > Frances & Deloused > any Sparta > any other MV

 

[folsom_lives]

So with my membership expiring 3 days ago, would any kind member be willing to pick up a Frances for a friend of mine?

But what about In/Casino/Out?

 

[zdkaiser]

Optimal will do a good job with these Volta reissues. I have no doubt.

Curious if the Deloused included in the bundle will just be the GZ press or if Optimal is repressing that as well?

Didn't know it back in the day. I just had the RoC cd. I'll bundle it with Sparta though.

Someone on reddit confirmed with CS that it is indeed GZ but there is additional "quality control" being done, whatever the fuck that means.

 

[keylime_5]

Probably means that since the first run had noise on Side A&B of basically every pressing, that they repressed it and made damn sure this time that there weren't any of that noise again. Probably paid for extra test pressings this time or something.

somebody should just make a madlibs form letter already!
