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

[bdrummond]

Wife threw a curve ball at me and requested Phoenix with secondary picks of MMW and Black Power, so I guess that'll be my RZA swap.

 

[jfitzy]

Looks like I’ll be going for Uninvisible! I had a feeling it’d show up in swaps eventually.

 

[NewsFedora]

Just got a delay email for Azar Lawrence’s Shadow Dancing. Pushed from December to February.

My only other pre-order right now is for Claudia Thompson’s Goodbye to Love and that’s still on for January, at least for the moment.

Have the Claudia Thompson pre-order. I'm not holding out hope that will actually ship in January. Supply issues blah blah fuck.

strange mercy is probably going to be my swap

You're probably right but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I work at a local TV news station and want to pitch doing a story about this album for February sweeps (the rediscovered photos that went viral as a mysterious "who are these women?" story a few years back is local-ish). Obviously, I'd want to have a copy of this to use as a prop. I actually ordered an OG with its original cover last week and should have that in hand soon.

If you dig the music (I discovered a few great new artists off of it, plus it has Charles Bradley who is always amazing) at that price it's lunacy. If I didn't already have it I'd be refreshing like mad between 11 and 12.

It’s in the Target Buy 2 Get 1 sale currently for anybody who wants it and doesn’t want to go through VMP:

Swaps opened and I was denied both the Medeski and Daptone prior to Noon as they were no longer available when I confirmed.

I got Medeski. Heard good things about it

 

[Chacap]

I managed to secure a Medeski.

 

[Ghost]

Was able to nap Daptone baby yOOOWCCH. Tried to tack on Medeski but that was gone, I was in at 9:00 on the dot.

I'm really digging having the swap preview. The second swaps went live, I made a beeline for my choices, and was done within 30 seconds.

Swapped my main for Daptone Soul Revue, swapped my add-on for Bill Evans.

 

[MrChad]

Swapped my add-on track for the Davis/Coltrane live album.

 

[Ghost]

How does the Daptone 3LP sound btw? Has anyone gotten it?

I think it sounds fantastic. Decent sound and production. Not the best live album I have but a far stretch from the worst.

I have the black from my local. I *think* it's the same details as the VMP and it sounds pretty good. Tad bit of noise but didn't kill the enjoyment for me.

 

[jfitzy]

My goal was to get MMW. If that failed I was gonna go for Daptone. And if THAT failed I’d go for Phoenix. Well I missed all three because I got distracted by something at work.

Store credit I guess it is. Maybe Grizzly Bear. I can’t tell if I’m getting burnt out by VMP in particular or just vinyl collecting as a whole. But nothing is really appealing to me these past couple of months. There’s been some great sales online elsewhere that I don’t even feel compelled to take advantage of.

 

[bdrummond]

Guess I got lucky swapping RZA for Phoenix. I figure RZA will be around for a few months if that album ever starts to resonate with me, but if not oh well...one of my least favourite Wu solo projects.
