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

I keep going back and forth between swapping for Juju live album, or Lightmen. Anyone have any opinions that could help me out?

I haven't heard the Juju live album and I can't find a stream of it anywhere online, but I have Lightmen and it's really good.

Same. Can't speak for Juju live, but in my humble opinion, that Lightmen record is fire 3000!
 
I'm VMP's dream for swaps so far. I signed up for classics and swapped for the EU album (leaving someone an AL Green), and now I've subbed for Hip Hop just so I could swap for other items for less (leaving someone an Outkast album).

I'm trying to go a little easy this month after last month saw me get the Juju bundle, Al Green, Badbadnotgood, Goodie Mob, and Ivy Sole. I'm sticking with OutKast and swapping Classics to Little Milton, while dropping Essentials. So just two records and that's it for me (oh and maybe if the Crumb exclusive ships... I actually have no idea when the Crumb exclusive ships)

Going forward I've got a plan of attack on my remaining swap list. I'm hoping to grab at least one of these per month before they sell out:

Clipse - Lord Willin
The Lightmen Plus One - Energy Control Center
Experience Unlimited - Free Yourself
Wells Fargo - Watch Out!
Eddie Floyd - Knock on Wood
Donald Byrd - Fancy Free
James Booker - The Lost Paramount Tapes


Potential wildcards are if any of the latest Bongo bundle survive to swaps and whatever else is in the pipeline for the months ahead. But last month got kind of crazy with BBNG and Goodie Mob both selling out and me having to scramble. I'm hoping to avoid a repeat of that bit of heartburn.

You need to check out the VMP bundle at www.bespokepost.com I got 4 records for $30. There are about 10 records to choose from and Botha booker and Byrd are on there.

Well... since this is still the VMP Exclusives thread, I will say that they've, pretty much, solidified their spot as little more than the latest Newbury with this Who Sampled? bundle.

I think it's interesting that it's being referred to as a Who Sampled? Collab, so it isn't as obvious that they're just doing variants of Mr Bongo titles AGAIN, but maybe that's also in hopes that nobody realizes how cheap they can get them directly through the label. $32 a piece for each of these single LPs?!!

Skull Snaps is about $22.99 through Mr Bongo
Incredible Bongo Band is only about $20.99 w/obi.

That's a crazy markup for a different color that you have to wait until at least July for, while the others are readily available right now.

You could probably even find a cheap copy fo the Gospel According To Zeus from a shop with RSD leftovers, if you didn't feel like paying the $24.99 from Mr Bongo.

They can’t help that Mr. Bongo undervalues their product.

I offered to work for them at one point, very seriously. I was even willing to just do write-ups. But when they turned me down to even write a single article for their Cash Money campaign I knew I didn't have a shot.

I won a contest/giveaway that Juxtapoz magazine held on social media, once. When I messaged them my details, I included a link to my website, explaining I might like to write for them. They didn't respond, but they did steal one of my articles and post it on their own site with very little variation. I called them out and they blamed it on an intern
