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

i think people just like to complain haha. releases aren't "essential" enough. VMP doesn't do enough "lost sounds found" type releases, etc.

them doing Nilsson Pussycats in essentials doesn't bother me because it's not like they are only doing that album and ignoring all his other work. the only people it really affects is VMP themselves, when they are stuck with copies of it for years.

Honestly I don’t see how you could possibley pick this album for your headline track for an album of a month club and think it’s the right call. It’s like the main draw and advertisement for new customers and you pick an album in which he gets pissed and high with Lennon and wrecks his voice. I’d definitely think they’re best with less “lost sounds found”, they’re not very good at it.
 
I mean I get it from a story telling perspective. It is not a very good album and fairly universal seen as a not very good album. It is strictly in the diehard/sadist voyeur category not essential. Either you have to have every Nilsson or you also have Charlie Manson’s album. Edit: it occurs to me that Venn diagram might be a circle and well they did sell Manson in their shop back in the day.

Can you remember all the ethical standpoints they used to profess about not supporting artists with dodgy pasts and then every time someone would say “Erm, you sold Manson’s album”. 🤦🏻
