I haven't regularly used VMP since roughly 2018 when they annexed the forum, jacked up their prices and lost quality control. The lone exception was a 3 album binge last winter when they released Mars Volta and QotSA.
The insane pricing on store exclusives make me wanna vomit and I've spent $40 on a record maybe 5x over the years. Like I'm lower middle class bitches
That said, Grimes' Visions is a top 10 album of all-time for me and the OG pressing is dogshit. So I've been eying that for a long minute. And despite mad Beasties love I only have their first 2 albums (one was a gift, the other purchased on sale for $15) due to to the nearly $40 price tags.
Which means that the release of Check Your Head @ $40 has me thinking of 3 album splurging.
So-- couple questions
A) Those of you that have Visions-- is it a quality pressing?
B) How is the 36 Chambers pressing, the Darkside pressing and / or the Bright Eyes pressings? I have a copy of Wide Awake that is pretty meh. My OG Physic sounds great but that's a top 10 electronic album for me so I'm tempted. But of the 3 I lean towards Wu because I don't own a copy since the ones on market typically have really bad reviews on Discogs.
Thanks!
