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

[Nee Lewman]

These country exclusives are interesting, but I need to spend some time with them before deciding if they warrant shelf space.

The Riley album is a classic. A country concept album. I don’t know the other two albums, but they are by legends.

What label did these?

all three are on Sun

Sun still puts out records?

I think it has something to do with ORG records now? They've put out Sun compilations for years. I bet its a repress of this:

Jeannie C. Riley - Harper Valley P.T.A.

I have that version, this one seems different. I spent some time searching earlier no where has info on them. Sun records is selling both the Riley and the Rich. They don’t have the Perkins. All of their records have the 70th anniversary icon and none of those appear to be on Org’s site.

Amazon has the Rich for $20. I may take a flyer just to see what the heck is up.

My assumption before I started digging was Sundazed. Usually VMP tells us who the reissue label is right? So it may actually be Sun…

Anyone swap today? I just went with Beastie Boys. Light month.

I managed to get some of those latest Prestige/Jazz Dispensary releases which I was really pleased with.

Hoping they are as good as the previous series.

Reports are positive from what I’ve heard.

Swapped Miles Davis for Sessa’s store exclusive. That album hit all the right notes for me, excited to own it on wax!

Still debating if I need this J Dilla, Townes is a no brainer

I'm still tempted by the Townes and might get it in a future swap.

I have this pressing which is good but if the VMP sounds considerably better I would be tempted to upgrade. My favourite Townes album.

Townes Van Zandt - Live At The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas

I seem to remember @D Jilla having a first pressing!

 

[jfitzy]

I think I'm in for all four. J Dilla is the only one I may end up dropping.

 

[Ghost]

I thought this man was saying he got a square record

Didn't swap a track this month.
Beastie Boys is the main prize (to complete my collection) for me but also good with Dilla and Miles. Throw in Saba and it's a good shipment for me next month.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I am dithering on the Beasties but think I will swap for credits and maybe grab it down the line. That said I should actually see if there is anything in swaps that I want.

 

[Twentytwo]

Is it bad that I just can't get into Townes? How can I not be wowed by one of the supposed best country records of all time? Really debating on swapping this. Anybody have the Bob Wills?

 

[NewsFedora]

Keeping Beasties and Miles. I already have Dilla and Townes, although I might wait on reviews to decide if I double dip on either of them in a future month.

 

[yukbon]

switched out everything except miles, but i'll catch beasties and townes later if they're available.

You’re getting A Few Good Things with a few good things.

Have you listened to any of his first few studio albums? Maybe that will help.

Everyone has their own taste and it's possible this just doesn't work for you. And, yes, I have the Bob Wills and I think it's great. Keep in mind it's not pristine, but it's about as good as he/they will sound considering what's available.
