Don’t know about The Roots, but highly recommend Living Legends. Underrated RHH AOTM, doesn’t get nearly enough love.

@teefer was it you that asked me about VMP's Destroyer - Kaputt 's deadwax etchings?
Anyway staring at it now:
Side One: MRG-369-A RE-1 WG/NRP 23535.1
Side Two: MRG-369-B RE-1 WG/NRP 23535.2
Side Two: MRG-369-C RE-1 WG/NRP 23535.3
Side Two: MRG-369-D RE-1 WG/NRP 23535.4
Sorry about the delay, just didn't have a moment until now where I could check it. I'll update discogs with the info later.

It was me! Thanks for that...Looks the same as mine, except for the numbers at the end. Mine doesn't have them. Don't know what that means though... LOL. Probably the same plates though.

Yeah I would imagine no special remaster and probably same plates. It was a period when VMP still hadn't completely taken off yet and they probably just did exclusives with what they could get their hands on, rather than having first say on them.
Like I said, I think my copy sounds great!

Good to hear. Mine sounds good but is quite dusty/crackly throughout. I'd love a quieter copy.

Those numbers look like RTI indicators although there would usually be a number in parentheses afterward.

If it was repressed at RTI, it would explain why the VMP copy seemingly sounds cleaner. It's promising.

Swapped my RHH for that one too. Streamed it over the weekend, it's pretty good.

For those who monitor every update to their order, for me both MadGibbs and Yusef Lateef changed from "Estimated shipping in early Oct." to "Ships with your next Record of the Month" so that's an encouraging sign.

That's cool I was a bit worried if I bought Yusef it would delay my entire shipment, I bought it anyway.

Thanks for the heads up on Nat Turner! Just rejoined a couple months ago and hadn't seen this, after a preview this is a must have for me.

Just did the same. Celia and Johnny can wait til next month. Gospel will get a lot more spins for me than Salsa, but the completionist in me still had trouble making the swap

I got a sneaking suspicion you'll have plenty of opportunities in the months ahead to go back and pick up that Celia and Johnny if you really want it.

People still jumping on/discovering Nat Turner Rebellion? Cool, that gives me an excuse to plug my ongoing quest in finding more NTR songs

Ack - was hoping it would stick around another month... Went ahead and ordered.

I’d guess Celia and Johnny due to pressing amounts. SWF is pre-reduction on pressing quantities.Agreed. What sells out first SWF or Celia and Johnny?

I know Celia and Johnny is getting a lot of passes, but it’s actually pretty solid. I’m not a listener of the salsa genre. But it kept me entertained throughout. Although I feel Quimbara goes on for too long and becomes repetitive. I like expanding my music tastes and $23 for a AAA add on is decent enough in my book that I went for it. I also liked Willie Bobo though. Willie wasn’t a slam dunk pick either, but it’s a nice, easy listen. I just wish some of the songs on it went longer. It seems once some really get going they’re over.
On the other hand, I couldn’t get into The Soft Bulletin enough to buy it. Wayne’s voice just messes up too many of the songs for me.
Edit: I forgot to add. It seems like Celia and Johnny also holds some historical importance too, which also tipped the scales for me.
