Good chunk of country, some blues like Stevie Ray, Muddy, some Arethras, Willies, Dollies, only a couple indies, Heart, Springsteen, Dylan, Replacements, Thin Lizzy, Stevie, Waylons, Alan Jacksons. Take your cart all the way to checkout and you'll get the window.

yea definitely some heavy hitters, but if you've been subbed for a bit, most likely own most of the good ones.

I’ve been out a while, can I get the official MikeH Top 5 (10 if you’re feeling frisky)

My issue is I own originals of a good portion, but if these are stark improvements, I’d probably like to replace.

The funny thing it, VMP sent me a free subscription to Creem for free and I haven’t been a VMP subscriber for months then Creem sent me the 3 free record deal, which Was debated but there isn’t really anything that interests me enough to sign back up bin it seems like these companies with do know what they are doing or give a shit who uses these codes.

with a quick look out of the freebies, I really enjoy (in no particular order):

*Aretha - I Never Loved A Man
*Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak (boomboom cut!)
*Willie Nelson - Phases and Stages (there's also a ATL75 that ain't half bad but I ended up PIFing that one and getting the VMP for cheap)
*Wilson Pickett - Hey Jude (fun album, but IIRC hard-panned and cut hot/has that atlantic sound where some of the vocals sound like they are peaking so that may turn some people off)
*Kris Kristofferson - Silver Tongued Devil and I
*Waylon Jennings - Taker/Tulsa
*Townes - Live at the Old Quarter

The Dollys are also really well done if you like her music! Same with Bella Donna

Not too sure about how these compare to OGs, and not sure what secondary market price is on them. I find SRV boring but have heard that the VMP is great if you don't want to get the AP45. A lot of people seem to rave about Heart as well but didn't feel the need to get that one yet.

I imagine that many times the idea is just to get a foot in the door and hope you can convince the customers to stay. Most of the VMP stuff I bet are albums that were over-estimated with popularity. Storf mentioned something on discord about how people would be shocked about which album was massively over-ordered and I'm 99% sure it's Bruce - Nebraska.

Thanks! I was gonna do Heart as I believe @MyWifeHatesTrain raved about it. Thin Lizzy I have an OG but boomboom is tempting. Was also thinking Stevie Ray though I’m also not a big fan of his style.

SRV Is one of those guys who i think is massively talented but i just don't like his music...Gary Clark Jr is another guy in that camp.

I also have this Thin Lizzy pressing: https://www.discogs.com/release/1100903-Thin-Lizzy-Jailbreak

Enjoy them both. Wouldn't say one blows the other out of the water but they have a slightly different sound from what I remember. I ended up keeping one upstairs and one downstairs to have one for each of my TT setups haha
