I'd sign up for a 2000's indie Side Subscription in a heartbeat actually.  

I did find this article that that mentions some of the concerts included in the box set.

Completed my U2 studio albums discography on vinyl. 

Realized after I took it that I forgot my Best of 1980-1990 OP in the picture.  

I remember the days when a new Muse album announcement would be the best news I heard all day.  Unfortunately, today is not one of those days.  I'm really going to have to hear this one before I buy it. 

I agree it hasn't been my favorite year of stuff.  But the Moby, Arctic Monkeys and TVOTR were all very well done.  Beach House would have been better if it was a different album but the packaging and record look great for that one.  I'm also really digging Mitski.  But some of the other stuff has been hard to get into and only got 1 listen.  

The Pop one is good but it doesn't blow me away like Achtung Baby and Zooropa but it still is the best I've heard Pop sound.

If they do I hope it's like the 90s one where it's more than just a collection of album tracks.

If you don't see the referral one of you just shoot an email to VMP with both of your email addresses and they should take care of it.  

They should do a 4LP, and include the B-sides on that comp too.
 
This recent “Best of 1980-1990” 2LP feels like a missed opportunity, unless they are saving “The B-Sides” for Record Store Day.

Now they just need to repeess the best of 1990-2000 and No Line On the Horizon and I'm all set.

Side D is the Lemon Perfecto Mix and the Numb Gimme Some More Dignity Mix.  

They have the clear on Bull Moose for $18.

Good to hear!  Mine looks like it delivered today but I won't be able to listen to it until later tonight.  I had a feeling that's what the color was going to look like.  Much better than the mock up.  

That may have been me.  I have (I think?) pretty much every REM bootleg on vinyl that I'm aware of.  I have a few others since I took this pic and a few bootleg 7"s as well.  The only thing I'm itching to get my hands on is the Finest Lunchbox and I can't seem to find a complete set in decent shape and I've been looking for years.
 

It's $22.  I forget what Sub Pop shipped is.  

I do wish post-OLTA that they would have kept down that path - they introduced some things there that were a bit more interesting and cinematic in that album IMO. But agreed, self-titled just wasn't executed well. Just a depressing listen, really, so I'm not surprised they pressed the 'restart' button.

It feels good!

I get that part.  I just can't imagine not buying, or returning an album, because it's a double album isn't a gatefold.  I do agree that non gatefold double albums do kind of suck because it causes more wear and tear on the jacket.  

I'm trying to think of all the records I've bought over time that don't advertise their jacket type or playing speed.  

I usually listen to the albums that gets pressed as exclusives.  I've discovered a lot of good stuff that way.  In the few instances I may have bought something because VMP was doing it and might not have bought it otherwise, I have ended up selling or trading it.
