    Added back country this month for Dolly, looks great. Can't go wrong with AAA RKS at this point. From the looks of it VMP went the extra mile for this one.

    The Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Withers records look interesting but in the end I decided to swap the Withers for Abbey Lincoln.

    Wondering if the Withers and Copeland are worth sticking with.

    I have never heard of Beverly Glenn-Copeland before.
    Should I keep it or swap? I am getting the Whithers for sure but I am not very excited about this album.
    Am I wrong?

    Can you only swap for what they suggest or can you exchange for anything on the site?

    There is a pool of previous records of the month and store drops that appear in swaps. If you are new to VMP there is probably some good options for swaps. However, after being a member for several months the swap options seem pretty stagnant. This month is an exception. They have some VMP 100 represses (Queen and Gorillaz) which are highly sought after. Though most VMP members probably have them already.

    Just got my replacement copy of Mars Volta yesterday which unfortunately has the same pressing issue as the first copy. Going to try one more time for a replacement and if I don't get a good one, just gonna give up, though it sounds like there are good ones out there. Really love this album, so fingers crossed!

    I am swapping either for ATLiens or Dolly. I couldn't even stream it through once I hated it so much.

    I’m getting Bill Withers and Outkast this month, and likely Dolly Parton as well. I swapped for store credit last month and CS was able to quickly apply that to one of my add-on tracks.

    That’s correct. You hit the swap button on your record of the month and it will present you the available records. I got on about 15 minutes late but was still able to swap for the Queen and Gorillaz.

    There is also an option to swap for store credit. I did this last month for Spiritualized. It will only give you credit for your monthly membership cost which varies depending upon which plan you joined with.

    Sometimes the store has options that do not appear in swaps. There are also swap exclusives that are not in the store.

    I decided -at least until I change my mind again- to stick with the Beverly Glenn Copeland album.
    I just streamed it via Qobuz and it is a nice pchychedelic folk album. I do not know what happened to him afterwards with all that pseudo experimental ambient synths, but this is a great album. It reminds me of Tim Buckley.
    I am also getting the Withers cause I also got the Classic track.

    I’m happy someone decided to sell their Abbey Lincoln in Discogs! I didn’t feel like joining VMP again… should be arriving here later on this week :)

    It is likely the longer you are a member that there will be something that will be of interest. I was hoping to swap for some credit this month with an eye to a possible repress of the Grateful Dead Anthology in the future. Couldn’t pass up the Queen or Gorillaz though since I am a newer member and did not have a chance at them before.

    I never even saw an email. And I checked the New This Week page a couple times during the week. Which album?

    Received and spun my Janis Joplin Pearl yesterday (finally!). Can't say that I'm too impressed. Pressed at RTI, but it's not particularly quiet in between tracks. Also, lots of distortion on the loud parts, especially during "Cry Baby."

    Maybe that's just the way the source material will always sound, but I was expecting something a little more audiophile-sounding. Glossy cover is nice, but there is no insert. I suppose if you want the better-sounding Pearl, you have to cough up the big bucks for the MOFI One-Step.

    Is the Queen good? I thought those 1/2 speed masters at Abbey Road get so-so reviews? I don't have this album.

    Pearl is pretty easy to find a clean early 70s copy of for pretty cheap. Unless you get the MoFi I doubt any of these new digital reissues are gonna sound anything as good as the originals.
