I can see Gus as an interesting left field Classics pick, but Essentials?

Yep, 100%. It’s a baffling decision. Among other baffling decisions.

It's a title one could debate has historical and cultural relevance/interest. If you are an old time blues/folk fan who likes collecting 78s and Alan Lomax recordings, it will have appeal. I would suggest it appeals to the Robert Johnson/Charlie Patton fans from a fidelity standpoint, but it is very much an artifact of its time with 5 string banjo, jug and washboard. Smithsonian, yes, dance floor, no.

I enjoyed it well enough for a single streaming session, but I'd never spin it and I'd say 99.9% or more of collectors don't need a copy in their collection. Very narrow range of collectors/music enthusiasts need or would ever even want it in their collections.

Have you heard it? You won’t be after that.

Not to derail this, but isn't the point of AI for customer service to get out instantaneous responses?
I emailed them this AM to ask if I can transfer my credit to another member and nothing back yet. I figured it would come back right away if a robot is answering.

That’s why it makes an excellent left field classics pick that I can choose to ignore, not a main essentials pick

Someone on the discord asked had they thought of doing quarterly postings to save on shipping for internationals. That might well have worked.

You think they can manage 3 months worth of stock to ensure none of the records sells out before it’s posted to someone who already paid for it?

It is wisdom like this that caused Nathan to turn to you for life lessons.

I listened to this after the announcement and it’s fine? It felt like a time and place and not something I’d really ever reach for. The fact that a 150 numbered variant hasn’t sold out tells me all we need to know about the probable demand.$39.99, limited to 150 and still not sold out (announced in late June). 2xLP on black vinyl is $29.99.The Preface (2LP) (Galaxy Edition)

I was able to subscribe to classics as an add on today, which will get me next months record apparently. I wanted to make sure I don’t get stuck with Gus Canon. I always swap my main sub for credit and may or may not add a side sub for an ROTM or a swaption. Buuuut I’m actually looking forward to not having to deal with that whole song and dance in the future!

yea--i don't see why anybody who has followed VMP at all would think that this would work hah.

I think its unlikely to even come out this year. It's behind a long line of other VMP stuff at RTI that VMP is waiting to press (Grateful Dead, Blue Note, Explorations in Sound and I think one other box?).

Honestly I think it’s logistically a challenging concept for even a well run business. For one that just absolutely refuses to even contemplate putting any time effort or money into even the most basic of logistics it’s just nightmare waiting to happen.
