Which did version did ya end up snagging?
Ghost
Original Resident Ghost
Went with the VMP for the sake of saving on shipping lol. Honestly though I’d probably prefer the Rough Trade variant. Not huge on any sort of clear vinyl variant. Who knows though, maybe it’ll look sweet.

I was gonna say that this seemed like the kind of thing VMP would do an exclusive of considering the amount of music publications and labels talking about this, but i didnt post it cause i wasnt sure.
I'd recommend getting the deluxe edition direct from her store since it's only like $2 more and comes with way more stuff. Sheet music, zine, and a bonus 7" with demos.
Also the color is cooler.

Thanks! Just got from her site, looks much nicer than the VMP one.

Thanks, but i guess the limited lp on their site is probably the indie (bronze/black marble) version and not the deluxe from her site

I read about the Vinyl Me Please and Prestige partnership and thought, that selection of vinyl is so righteous I could almost join this totalitarian vinyl club and happily fly the flag of Gilead high above my head again, but right at that moment I received an email from the universe...

Listening for my first time, and man Eastern Sounds is pretty fantastic, huh?
Hoping it makes it to swaps.

Ah, I didn’t know his account was private. His post was a picture of a few books about Stax Records & Otis Redding, a book about Sam & Dave and a book about Donald “Duck” Dunn with just the caption “research”.

Thanks Wicked Dreamer!
OMG, I’m so excited right now! I love the Classics track so much and I know the December Essentials ROTM will be a Soul/jazz record. I’m really keen

Did you like the Willie Bobo record Nathan? I wasn’t so keen, thought it was super cheesy and didn’t like all the covers of the pop songs of the day. It’s not bad but it’s not good enough either. Only the excruciating Byrd below it in classics for me.

I did enjoy the Willie Bobo but I definitely think it’s a bottom three Classics ROTM so far. I kind of actually agree that it’s not good enough in terms of the Classics ROTM standards. But I love the jazzy, funky grooves and the contemporary kind of sound of the album. I feel like it was ahead of its time. It’s a great album but still one of the worst Classics ROTM’s so far

For the first anthology AMA, Storf said that he was reading like 7 books for research on the next anthology.

What the hell is this and why do I need it desperately?
As much as I love Blue Note, Motown, and Stax (and I really do), I dont like the idea of the first 3 anthologies being these. Storf said they put more side tracks on hold in favor of anthology as it lets them do the same thing with less of an overall commitment but instead what we're getting is essentially another Classics track marketed differently. Don't get me wrong I love classics, have every single release, and will be on board for all 3 of these box sets but I wish they'd show a little more diversity.
Motown is pretty much confirmed and Im pumped for that. And a Stax one down the line would be great, I just really hope they do something a little different before that.

I don’t like this Sir Babygirl album much though. It’s boring to my ears. The music sounds polished yet simultaneously all over the place. The vocals in my opinion sound thin and a bit whiny, especially when she sings in her higher register. The only moment I liked on that album was the stripped back, sweet “Flirting with Her (Reprise)”.Crush on Me: BICONIC Edition

I absolutely love the colour variant and I like that it’s only $20! Unfortunately I just don’t care for the album at all.
