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

Keeping Soft Bulletin since I've always loved it and don't own a copy.

Trying to.choose what to swap for this month 's classics, which just isn't my thing. I have most things I've wanted from the past. Looking at: MF Doom, Froth, Joel Ross and Fist City.

They're all so different, and was curious about any feedback for those with any of these? Thanks!

QOTSA was pressed at Pallas? As if the title wasn't a treat already.

That was my first thought too. FINALLY! Hopefully that's a test to become the new standard.

The Flaming Lips exclusives look good, but I don't know if I'm ready to drop $60 on them. Mystics is more my speed though, so I'll probably grab that one by the end of the day. I am a little disappointed none of these are remastered, but maybe they just didn't need it.

Use the customer service chatbox in the store.
When Sleater-Kinney was ROTM, I had already pre-ordered it from the band and decided that a) I didn't need two copies, and b) I wanted that Joel Ross. Joel Ross was NOT a Swaption, but CS made it happen for me in a matter of seconds!
 
The Songs For The Deaf drop in November seems to chime in nicely with this...

Fist City is 45RPM and sounds fantastic.

Can’t go wrong with either MM..FOOD or Fist City, they both sound great!

Go with Doom, if for no other reason than it probably won’t survive swaps this month.

Currently swapping for Isley Brothers...other two options are Eddie Floyd or Donald Byrd (Fancy Free)

Thoughts?

All three are great, but if you’re like me and try to play the game of “which is gonna sell out first,” then I’d swap for Isley Brothers this month, then do Floyd, and lastly get Byrd because that’s gonna be there for a good while.
 
The first five months of this year were my favorite stretch of VMP Essentials in a longgg time, and really embodied what I think the track should be about (I personally did NOT like the Van Morrison album but I respect the choice). That was followed by a longgg stretch of just straight-up meh. These last three months seem to be getting back to the glory of the beginning of the year. SFTD is an absolute blockbuster of a pick and is cause for celebration, and that Aretha Franklin album is... well it's Aretha fucking Franklin, c'mon man. I still am not planning on renewing my membership after the end of this year, but this is a wonderful note to bow out on

That was pretty much my thinking, plus I can imagine the other two possibly landing in a Bespoke deal at some point soon!
