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

Waylon Jennings Vol. II - And now for the rest of the story…
I'd actually buy that one.

It could be a mix of old and new, a before and after if you will:

Love of the Common People (1967)
Only the Greatest (1968)
Good Hearted Woman (1972)
Ladies Love Outlaws (1972)

What Goes Around Comes Around (1979)
Music Man (1980)
Will the Wolf Survive? (1985)
Heroes (with Johnny Cash) (1986)

I'd be in for sure on that.

This of course ignores the two blockbusters from his prime that VMP hasn't covered, Wanted! The Outlaws and Willie & Waylon, both of which deserve premium treatment.

I just got a copy of Love Of The Common People last week — it's a great album!

Sonidos Encontrados is VMP’s new series celebrating deep cuts from the expansive catalog of Latin music. Eventually, the series will aim to reissue releases from many genres, countries, and eras, but the series’ first reissues are dedicated to the Fania label, in celebration of the label’s 60th anniversary.

Fania was the Motown of Latin Soul music in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the home to household names like Hector Lavoe, Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, La Lupe, Joe Bataan, and Willie Colon.

Our first release in Sonidos Encontrados – Spanish for “found sounds” – is Willie Colón’s El Malo, the debut LP from the band leader, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and activist. Colón was the wunderkind of the Fania label, as he recorded the album when he was just 16 years old. The title track from the album was in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and the album features guest vocals from a 21-year-old Lavoe, who was beginning his own rise to salsa stardom.

Pressed at VMP’s own pressing plant, plated by Gary Salstrom at VMP, and remastered AAA by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, these releases will be limited to 1000 units and pressed on 180g vinyl and come with a custom obi strip and a Listening Notes booklet.

VMP members can expect at least five more Sonidos Encontrados releases in 2024.
