California Poppy 1 + 2
The reissues of Rexx Life Raj's 'California Poppy 1&2' is available on exclusive Clear with Orchid & Evergreen vinyl.

So, weirdly, I kind of know Levi Seitz - we're not in touch anymore, but I used to visit friends in Seattle for NYE each year (several years ago) and he and his wife were part of the group that would always hang out. Oddly, I remember like 10 years ago being in their house and his wife mentioning to us how he'd just gotten some kind of lathe cutting thing for vinyl records and, at the time, I had no idea what that really meant (still probably don't, to be perfectly honest, haha).I searched through my collection and Levi Seitz comes up three times. Nothing audiophile, but for what it's worth, all three records are extremely nice pressings. Chris Isaak "Heart Shaped World" reissue from 2022, Pearl Jam "Live at Easy Street" and The Donnas "Spend The Night" ROG reissue. Anyway, does not scream "keep away" and if anything, it's somewhat positive.
It's more the black box of how VMP's pressing plant will fare that's making me waffle. Well, that and the price, obviously. But a 2xLP pressing of Yield is definitely tempting.
Probably just a Shopify backend thing.My Tennessee Mountain Home is in the store but the only option is to Join Waitlist.
Any idea if this is just a colour variant of a wider repress?Looks like Busta Rhymes - The Coming is gonna hit the VMP store tomorrow
i believe it's a cicely balston exclusive cut but not 100% sure if it's exclusive to VMP.Any idea if this is just a colour variant of a wider repress?
Not my favourite BR album so if VMP is the only one on this I'm fine passing, but if there's going to be cheaper options then I'm interested.
Guess the listing will show tomorrow.i believe it's a cicely balston exclusive cut but not 100% sure if it's exclusive to VMP.
Anyone know where I can stream this? Doesn't seem to be on Spotify or Youtube![]()

It's actually weird because years later I joined this forum and saw people talking about this stuff and it triggered a memory of being in their house and retroactively helped me understand what they'd been so excited about back then, haha.
I can't speak to his qualifications, but he was a really nice guy and he's also credited on the vinyl for Beyonce's Renaissance, which I saw mentioned on social media somewhere. I remember he posted something a year or so ago about working with Pearl Jam on a live album. He was interviewed by Billboard magazine here about vinyl: Inside the Return of Record-Breaking Vinyl Sales which mentions that he apparently also worked on Olivia Rodrigo's album last year.
Lots of interesting-looking bits in Throwback Thursday this week.
Does anyone know of the VMP Ben Webster - The Horn release? I can't find anything online at all about it.
I'm hoping to get the Idris Muhammed - Peace & Rhythm, I missed that and its the only one from the VMP/Jazz Dispensary series that i missed.
Not saying you should, just refreshing your memory.I don’t think I should spend $40 for woo-hah on vinyl when I don’t remember the last time I pulled out the cd/streamed it.
