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

Anybody see this yet?...

VMP Anthology: The Story of Ghostly International travels through our 20-year history of music. Featuring three albums that have never been on vinyl — including the first vinyl pressing of Ghostly Swim 1 and 2 — and three sought after albums that are out of print, this box set is packaged together but separated out into a month-long experience, and comes with a 4-episode podcast series, deluxe liner note photo prints for each album, and exclusive access to additional written content.

I passed on Blue Note because of cost/lack of trust in VMP (prescient but wish I'd been wrong), and I passed on Motown because I'm more of a Stax/Muscle Shoals fan & they hadn't yet shown they'd learned anything from the mistakes of Blue Note. It's going to be very difficult to pass on this.

The one thing that surprises me is that they didn't do this before Motown. There doesn't seem to be any notable reason to get Motown out immediately. It's Ghostly's 20th Anniversary, so it had to be done this year. With the timing of each, it feels like they're now just churning out product, and don't really care about people taking the time with each anthology (as they claim is the most important thing about the way they're presenting the music). It's that, or they think that nobody could possibly like both soul music and electronic music, which yes, is as laughable as it seems when typed out.

If anybody is looking for a copy of the VMP Rising Charlotte Day Wilson double EP, Amazon appears to have a few copies for $15 below the current Discogs listings.


This record is soooo good. One of my favorite pickups this year.
 
Has anyone been to a Black Pumas concert? If so, what variant was being sold at the Merch booth? Standard black or something fun. Asking cause I’m seeing them next Wednesday and this is the second time a Bandcamp variant I was getting ready to buy has sold out on me in the past two days lol.
At the SF show now, they have the red and black marble vinyl $25.
 
Did someone received Willie Colon's The Hustler ? I swapped for it, but it's nowhere to be seen in the package.
I ordered it and didn't receive it. When I contacted CS they said it was a pre order and waw always supposed to ship in November, which is total bullshit. Why would they let you swap your October ROTM for it if its not shipping til November?
