MtrCtyWx Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I swapped for the Weezer AOTM but kinda like the randomness of each month including the classics subscription that they are offering in limited release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andthejets27 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I can definitely understand why people are disapointed with this one. I also wish it was a 2 LP, but my standard black copy is cut (physically) horribly so I grabbed this. I needed a reason to get the Haim variant anyways.

If you're not currently a member they announce their August AOTM today. See if it's something you like than sign up and you can still add Fiona. Found one brand new on discogs for $25 and finally listening now. It's my first VMP that I've owned and holy hell, it sounds amazing! They did an amazing job with this. Not sure it could sound any better. Love the weighty vinyl and cut to 45 rpm. Top notch all around. YouTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batnoises Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Can anyone help me snag a copy of the red 21 savage album from the store? Can't subscribe to VMP at the moment but by the time I can it'll sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollarsandcents Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Just got my two records for this month - swapped out Boxer and picked up Waxahatchee and Big Thief. Pretty happy with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batnoises Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Went ahead and subscribed for a month with a referral link for the 21 savage album. Can record swaps only be done with multi month subs? I'd love to get Pinkerton instead of the national.

I might have to change that next time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been following next months guess thread too closely but it seems like the majority is thinking it is going to be Biggies Ready To Die which I would gladly reup for but some people took it a step further and said it might have most/all the original samples which if true would make it easily the best AOTM they ever had for me personally.

The Saint Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I would be SHOCKED if they could pull off Ready to Die with all of the original samples. It's gotta be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I fully don't expect them to actually get all the original samples cleared but if they somehow pulled it off it would be a huge move for them considering it would be another massive release while also going after a whole new audience that might have had no interest in the other big releases. Regardless after reading the clues that have been confirmed so far I am pretty sure I will be reupping for it. It's funny seeing some of the members acting all disgusted because it is "gangsta rap" One of VMP employee's left this as well... Quote our edition of this rap album is remastered for vinyl, and is restoring things that have not been on the full, official vinyl editions of this, ever. You can buy it on Amazon, but you can't buy this version, since it will be only available through us. along with it being before 1997. aopps42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Just from reading that VMP quote above Southernplayalistic and Liquid Swords instantly popped in my head. I doubt VMP are clearing samples now. If it's spcm I'll be fuckin psyched. Edited August 14, 2017 by Sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, Ready To Die Bad Boy just butchered the living hell out of the remastered versions from the samples, to removing/censoring some lyrics and also on an aesthetic level, changing the cover. They could have at least done everyone a favor and cut out Puff Daddy so I did not have to still hear him all throughout the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but they did manage demon days so I guess anything is possible at this point. really hoping this is true and it's done properly by clearing the missing samples and reverting to the og artwork. pretty exciting news either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some users, not all, on VMP are relatively new to digging into music. It's tempting to poke fun at the mix of enthusiasm and lack of knowledge but, IMO, it's also very cool that more people are diving into the insane treasure hunt that is working backwards into the history of rock/hip hop/modern music. We all start somewhere and, after 22 years of collecting music, there are well known bands/genres I'm still naive towards. I didn't really get into Talking Heads until last year, I have zero knowledge of Jazz, etc. I tend to keep quiet about genres/bands I am barely getting to know while maybe some VMP posters can be more quick to assume the role of expert but I think that's just, as I said, the enthusiasm. Also, I consider myself a very young 31 year old man but I have to remember that still means I might have 13 years of more music listening on some other adults. Anyway, thanks for reading my novel. dawhizz and RowBearToe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
