So other than ATLiens & Justments. What is everyone hoping to find in swaps this month? I was very happy snagging Soul Food last month.

I can’t imagine any of the records that I want popping up in swaps unfortunately. But doggystyle and phrenology would be nice

Dude I would felate a guy for that Doggystyle pressing. Looks badass

Room on Fire. I've been constantly looking in swaps for that record for the past few months, but it's never there.

Just bit the bullet and Discogs’d it. It was time. We may not see that one again.

My copy had a locked groove and they were out of that album and didnt have a replacement available.

The Metal Blade boxset

Ready to Die

I caught one about two years ago for $60

The Hawk Flies High... still lol

Nothing. I want all 4 tracks. I would maybe swap Emmylou if something crazy popped up, like Max Roach.

Rubaiyat

I’ve got one to trade if you want to pm me

I could go for any of Blossom Dearie, Galt McDermot - Nucleus, David Gray - White Ladder. Biggie- Ready to Die, Juvenile - 400 Degreez.

Don’t hold out for David Gray, I finally opened my copy and it was unplayable with no replacements available. They’re out !, they did a throwback Thursday with the last of them.

Al Green

NOTHING!! They already got me for Wu, PE and Lee Morgan, please don’t have Doggystyle or The Score as a swaption..smh

The Score is from 5 years ago. Have they ever had anything that old and sought after in swaps? Btw it is a great pressing if you happen to snag it ever.

Fam.. When I first joined that was still available. I had it in my cart like “I’ll come back on payday and get it”. I was checking out and it got gone. I’ll grab one off Ye Olde Discogs by the end of the year.

I had know idea it hung around which is surprising. I went on hiatus w/VMP few months after release due to their mailer quality at the time. (Back then, getting replacements felt like a hassle)

Yup…I joined for 3 Ft High, so that was what..2 years ago? It was right there. I felt like Smokey when he had the money in his hand and then Deebo woke up..smh

Me too grabbed De La, Doggy Style, and Arctic Moneys , swapped HBMS and it haunted me for a pretty long time .

Same here! Skipping Emmy Lou since I have a great sounding OG copy.

All of this (sub Morgan for Emmylou)!!!!

I will say this…I’ve been listening to the Emmylou and I’m really tempted to add that track

Yeah I’ve enjoyed all of the titles so far. Lots of classic country titles I’ve never heard, which makes it exciting as someone wanting to dig into the genre more.

If I was going to swap one then it would be lee Morgan, but it would take a special record.

When are swaps open? Is it Wednesday. I feel I've caught the VMP bug haha

The 26th

If one of the last interesting exclusives is there (Destroyer’s Rubie, Wailers, Jazz is Dead, Medeski Martin & Wood), I’ll swap Emmylou (if not, I’ll swap for credit and make my renewal less painful). I’m keeping the other 3 (Wu is better be good, cause I just sold my og today, ahah).

Saba

Spiral

Bro im already fairly surely locked in for 36 Chambers... but my hand would flinch at this one

Sameeeee

Nothing. Not swapping. Haven’t done that in a few years.

How did you get soulfood? I've been on the waitlist forever...

It was in swaps last time around

Soul food has been popping up in swaps every month for like 3 months now, but it doesn’t last long

That album sounds so good. I'm newer to VMP but it is one of the best 3 I've gotten from them along with Songs for the Deaf and Southernplaya...

Wish they would do a proper Still Standing release..

I have to check this month... if it's available it's going to be a terrible choice.

Soul food.
