I remember that, but they’d be bankrupt if they actually followed through with that promiseAnyone remember when they told us to check for errors on listings and we would have a small credit for the store if they fixed it?
I know I sent about 3, but did anyone ever received anything from that?

I sent in like 10-12 corrections. I think they gave me $20 in credit for the first batch I sent in, but then nada. That was also back in the days of the VMP Forums and staff (Storf, Cam, AB, Pauly) coming on and having discussions with us.Anyone remember when they told us to check for errors on listings and we would have a small credit for the store if they fixed it?

I am intrigued by the recent batch of Curated picks, that's a throwback to the old days, even if the prices aren't as good.

Phew, glad I already have Ready to Die, I'd hate to be part of that dogpile when swaps open. Rico Nasty is back, too. I've actually been spinning that record a lot recently, definitely an underrated RHH pick.
For me, I'll be going for Irma Thomas, I figured there was no way that wasn't making it to swaps. I need to give Wayne Shorter another listen, as well. For some reason I just never really got into Shorter the way I have for some other jazz legends.
As an aside, now I get to see what happens first: I receive my January WBC box from France, swaps open for VMP's February ROTM, or VMP ships me my January box.

Different Shorter. This is Wayne's brother, the trumpeter, Alan. Orgasm is quite out there and free.
Who knows at this point?!

D'oh. I fail at reading comprehension.

If you go to the site and start refreshing about 5 minutes before everything goes live, you'll get it. I've never missed out on anything I wanted in swaps when I've done that.

This. Don't tell Reddit, but I've been doing this for almost a year and it works every time. Swaps open 3-5 minutes early every single month without fail.

I think it'll be around for a few minutes. Pauly said on reddit: "Can't talk specifics around how many copies, but this IS NOT a 'we found copies in the back' type situation."
My guess: a smallish repress of a few hundred. They'll split some for swaps and then have the rest up in the store after February 1.

worth noting that Book Cooks is available on black vinyl for around $23 elsewhere.

I highly recommend Alan Shorter’s Orgasm and Medeski, Martin & Wood’s The Dropper! Those two pressings sounds phenomenal and both are great, experimental-esque albums! I think BADBADNOTGOOD’s Talk Memory is a pretty great album too - it makes for a nice swaption if you want a modern jazz record!
