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

I’m confused. Does mono have better sound quality?

It can do. Basically before about 1968 everything was recorded and released in mono mainly because most people had mono record players at home. The artist would sign off on the mono and it’d be handed over to engineers to do a perfunctory stereo mix and these could sometimes have “interesting” placements of the instruments in the channels. For the The Beatles prior to White and Dylan before Nashville Skyline, in particular, the monos are miles ahead of the stereos. Also Spektor, id go out of my way to avoid the stuff he produced on stereo, mono all the way. Of course, as with anything YMMV.
 
I think Storf said awhile back that they often ask for the artist’s input on the color, and it’s almost always boring (I think he said white was very common). So this could be on the Stones. Regardless, disappointing.

Seeing as the Stones fucking hate ABKCO and have little or no input into these releases it’s on the Kleins more likely.

I would probably buy this if I wasn't going to her album release show Friday at Grimey's.

It seems like unless the exclusive is embryonic I don't really want the flaming lips exclusives

Mostly because of Wayne coyne's voice.. it feels it doesn't mix perfectly

I will definitely be getting this. The three tracks available now sound fantastic

I really wish someone would put The Goldmine on vinyl!
 
Exclusives are speculation right now, but Storf did say there would be a couple to go along with the Essentials ROTM
So right now I would say there is a 50% chance that at least one exclusive is coming, a 30% chance we get more than one, a 15% chance that it's ready to announce by the time they announce the RotM, a 0.0001% chance it ships before 2020, and a 99% chance they are over $30 each.

Based on current trends anyway.

Cancelled my bullmoose pre-order for this one. Can't wait. And probably the first time I've been really happy with a White Color variant.

Not VMP related but FWIW there is also an Oh Boy exclusive that includes a bonus 7” duet with John Prine and signed by both of them.


Can’t seem to link directly to the vinyl but black LP plus signed 7”er is $28 plus shipping ($36 total US)

Edit: OTOH the white vinyl looks really nice with this LP.

I haven't been following anything VMP related for a bit. However, someone in JQBX mentioned that there will possibly be an Erykah Badu exclusive. Anyone have any info/speculation/whatevs on this?

Thanks!
