I bit the bullet and did 6 months.
When I went to the LCW anniversary show, the tour vinyl was $50 at which point I decided the VMP version was needed as it's a top 5 album all-time for me and the normal version is merely "pretty good" as a pressing. And as much as I hate their pricing, a lot of major label hip-hop is equally outrageously priced these days. And I'm a BB fan that doesn't have a copy of Check Your Head for exactly that reason
Check Your Head
+ Lonesome Crowded West
+ 36 Chambers (fingers crossed I get a decent copy-- every previous version of this is trash)
+ Grace Ives Janky Star because the discogs reviews of it are glowing and its a limited batch release of a 22' fav.
Really hoping the Pharcyde, Badu and Big Boi repressings don't sell out so I can snag them over the next couple months. After which I'll do Moon Safari which was a staple of HS and see what they have in the docket.
I've done two BF sales over the past couple years but otherwise stayed away since roughly the time they ended the forum. But $26 a record is more than justifable and I'm curious whether their new plant will improve quality control.
