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

Stars update from CS, i had re-listened to my copy and the pops during Calendar Girl were pretty bad so I emailed in:

"I'm bummed to hear that your copy of 'Set Yourself on Fire' is exhibiting that noise and popping on the last track – you are correct that we've identified it as being part of a larger pressing issue. We're closing talks with the label and pressing plant now to do a repress of that record and send out new, clean discs to all of our customers who've purchased that title. At the moment, I'm not aware of a timetable for that repress, but it's understood that we want it as soon as feasible.

We'll be sending out more official communication once it's all concrete..."

This is excellent news! I am happy it looks like we will be getting a repress sent to us! As I’m overseas, my copy is still sealed. So I’m going to sell my copy for around $10-$15 in Australia. Why not! :cool:😂💰

Was there a pressing issue with Jazz Samba? Got a copy sealed 2nd hand copy. No visible issues but a persistent hiss throughout all of side A. Side B is fine.

I had that with my copy but it wasn’t there when played on a different system. Try it on a friend’s to see if the noise persists
 
Originally had Isley Brothers. Really buckled down and did an analysis of the records that I would absolutely spin the most from the swaps available that I don't own yet. Ended up with Phoenix. I feel like I've been buying mostly hip-hop records lately, so I don't mind a little more alternative/rock in my collection.

Could still be swayed in the direction of any of the following:
  • Sleater-Kinney
  • Queen Latifah
  • Open Mike Eagle
  • Camp Lo
  • Al Green
  • T.I.
  • Feist
I feel like if it isn't a month where one of the three subs is a no-brainer for me, I am stuck between deciding on several mehhhs, and more often than not, I make the decision based on general consensus, scarcity, or value. And then I end up with a record that I never listen to. I, at least, know that I like that Phoenix album.

@MattHasIdeas - Get Feist! It’s a debut superb album. It’s diverse musically, charming, delicate, sensual and is an album that reminds you of spring and autumn 👌

Al Green is my other pick. That album is so soulful and sexy it hurts so bad! Al Green’s voice just caresses you and melts you and puts you to bed 😉

Al Green or Feist!!! Pick both of them up!!! 💎
 
I feel like I couldn’t really get into Feist on first listen. I liked Mushaboom alright. I’ll listen to it again in full while I get some work done today and see if I change my mind!

There are already 2 different colour variations out there; Secretly Store (opaque marine) and indie store (clear). If VMP jumps on this, it would be overkill but hey, they released a Brittany Howard variant when there are already a bunch so who knows...

Yeah that aquamarine looks pretty too. Was surprised that it's a double LP given only 11 tracks...curious to see the song timings and if she's going to stretch out a bit like some of the songs on side B of My Woman, which I would love...

Maybe this won't help, but the new vinyl remaster sounds leagues better than the stream. I'd loved Feist for a long time but never really got into this album until VMP did it. The pressing (which has a couple pops-and-clicks issues on a couple songs that you'll need to check for) truly does sound incredible.

New Angel Olsen album in ever so boring coke bottle clear

app.vinylmeplease.com

All Mirrors

The fourth LP, and follow up to 2016's 'My Woman,' from singer-songwriter Angel Olsen is here on exclusive coke bottle clear vinyl, with exclusive alternate blue-eyed album art.

Also $3 more for just the album than the other places are charging for vinyl cd + 7”...
 
As for now, I really don't know which Angel Olsen variant to buy
- Crystal Clear: It's working with the album art, but I already own plenty records on Clear Vinyl
- Aquamarine Opaque: Don't own that one, but at least for now, without seeing the full artwork or knowing the songs, this doesn't seem to fit?!?
- Coke Bottle Clear: For some reason I managed not to own a single record on Coke Bottle Clear till now. But it's also a questionable choice, altough it matches with the VMP "Blue Eye"-Extra cover art. But at 33$ plus International non member shipping this costs nearly double the amount of the other two...

At least none of the variants seems super limited, so no rush for now.
