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

Is it only available through VMP? That's one hell of an exclusive if it's not being done elsewhere. I don't think it's really been re-issued on vinyl, I've been looking for a decent copy for years.

With VMP who knows! That being said with 5000 copies it might be worth holding out a while see if it pops up elsewhere!

I can't believe that Grimes sold out, I think I grabbed my copy for like $15...oh and for some reason I also have it on cassette... Can't remember the last time I listened to it...big fan!

$38 from the label i believe (they also have a limited to 500 pressing). and the black vinyl should be available elsewhere for same price. think it's a pretty wide release.

Doesn't say AAA but it is mono, which is not cheap to find an OG version of. The OG stereos are a dime a dozen, and not digital.

TBH I've struggled to find a decent OG stereo cheap, most are VG and anything VG+ has been quite expensive for a few years.

I can't speak for availability in the UK, but around the states I see them a lot. For instance:

Yeah, it's a different market, I bet you have loads of copies in second hand stores, not widely released outside of America by the looks of it.

For me this is a way long overdue re-isssue, especially considering the amount of crap that is reissued every few years. The 4 Men with Beards copy doesn't really count, I'm not sure what the Aussie pressing is like. I've been wanting a decent copy of this for years, but never wanted to spend £50 on it.

That listing you pointed to is literally the cheapest VG+ on Cogs & with shipping & tax is considerably more expensive than getting the VMP version to the UK. With my luck the sellers idea of a VG+ is a VG at best. To get a NM copy, I don't think there's anything under $50, cheapest to get to the UK would be about $67

There's only 3 vinyl copies for sale on cogs in the UK, G, G+ & VG. They are still asking $11 +shipping for a trashed copy. Although the description is brilliant, 'buy with confidence'

that's one of the albums i point to when people insist that digitally sourced records don't sound good.

The Kevin Gray cut of Deep Purple's Machine Head bests any original US pressing I've heard too. Granted I haven't heard any UK originals which I'm sure are the best.
