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

There are 2 tracks impacted: Machine Gun Funk & Ready to Die. Personally this album is a classic for me so it's easy to notice the omissions because they make the choruses seem less lively

The original Machine Gun Funk has a sample of some singing and trumpets (0:50 second mark) from Up for the Down Stroke by Fred Wesley:


versus



The original Ready to Die has a sample of a horn section (1:05 mark) from Singing in the Morning by Ohio Players:


versus

It's a huge difference for me but for others it may not be that huge of a deal

Got it...for me Machine Gun Funk is a greater crime than Ready to Die. I'm not even sure where this would stack up in my collection for general shittiness:

- MF DOOM "Mm..Food" missing the Sesame Street sample on Kookies.
- A clean version of "Slippin'" on DMX's "The Legacy"
- No Gangsta Boo verse on RTJ 2

Hip hop keeps getting the shaft on vinyl.

Damn, didn’t get to swaps in time for biggie. Was going to nab it for my kiddo. If anybody got an extra I’d be happy to buy it

This is purely speculative on my part, but I fully expect Ready to Die to show up in the VMP store some time after February 1. If you're fine waiting a couple of weeks and paying what I assume is gonna be $40 for a double LP ROTM, that might be your best bet.

Yeah I was going to probably swap a track for credit anyway, so if it does show up that’ll be cool.
 
I was able to buy Buck Owens. I was debating swapping an add-on track for the Carnegie Hall record, but I think I’ll listen to his debut way more often than a live album.

I just checked, and no. It’s not showing up as a swap option. It’s still in stock for members, so maybe next month it’ll be a swap option?

Thanks for checking. Been waiting for it to show up again. Figured I'd be able to sign up with it like a lot of the other previous essentials titles, but no dice.

You could always check that it's still in stock on Monday, sign up for a month, swap for credit by EOD, then hope it doesn't go out of stock before your credit hits your account. You'd be able to buy in store with your credit.
