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

If I can add it to swaps Imma just let it sit there while I decide if I REALLY want it.

Just set yourself free 🕊 break the cycle!

anything else good in swaps?

Freddie Hubbard
Al Green
Davis/Coltrane (which they seem to have endless supply of now)
QOTSA
Saba
Queen
Fiona Apple (When the Pawn/Idler Wheel)
BADBADNOTGOOD

Those are the notable ones that people dig.
Blackalicious is the star this month, and Djo is supposed to be a secret swap or something?

 

[bdrummond]

Also, someone on reddit reached out to CS and they have about 400 copies of Blackalicious.

I had a pretty bad seam split on my copy and they told me there was none left months ago. *shrug*

I would definitely email support again about it.

Anyone know how that Hub of Hubbard pressing compares to vintage pressings?

not sure compared to an OG but it's an AAA and heard it sounded pretty good. I could have sworn there was also a regular black pressing that came out recently too.

Sorry, my bad. Apparently the secret Djo swap really is super secret.

This one, @MikeH ? Might grab that instead, need to grab a couple SC pressings from AS too anyways.

there it is. i believe thats the same pressing as the VMP one. seems to have the same credits on discogs and discogs gives that one good reviews.

 

[bdrummond]

Oooh, my local has Hubbard for a decent price.

As much as I enjoy the idea of super secret swaps maybe just get the ROTM right?

I have the VMP one and it is really good. To be honest, the Bill Evans MPS was also pretty decent as well, they have done well with them.

I don't have originals of either of these to compare, but I do have a few other MPS first pressings and they sound of the same quality, certainly no obvious differences to me anyway.

As @MikeH said, I thought I saw a standard pressing as well but just popped on discogs and cant see it listed there yet.

I think the VMP is just a color repress of this one: 8682083-Freddie-Hubbard-The-Hub-Of-Hubbard. The standard black pressings currently available are likely a repress of that 2016 one as well.
