Vinyl Me, Please just released spoilers for their November 2018 shipments!
There are three options for Vinyl Me, Please - VMP Essentials, VMP Classics and VMP Rap & Hip Hop.
FYI - You can switch between Essentials, Classics, and Rap & Hip Hop:
VMP Essentials includes the Queen, A Night At The Opera!
A Night At The Opera is stylistically nimble, genre-curious, eager to chase every spark of an idea with a can of gasoline. Like few other bands before or since, Queen understood how to weave everything they loved — opera, prog rock, showtunes, Dixieland jazz, arena rock, etc. — into a cohesive and singular sound. On this album, they found their voice and it turned out their voice was a choir.

VMP Classics includes the VMP-Exclusive Eddie Floyd, Knock on Wood!
“Knock on Wood” is the platonic ideal of a Stax soul single. It’s got a beat you can dance to. Its horns are towering, shiny and perfect. It’s an ode to a lover that was conceived during a thunderstorm while Floyd and Cropper were holed up at the Lorraine Motel, an interracial songwriting duo writing at maybe the most notorious hotel in American history (it’s where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated). It’s got music history in its backbeat, a No. 1 hit that, seeing Floyd perform 50 years after it was written, melts away the years and bridges the gap in decades.
Exclusive VMP-edition features:
- 180 gram black vinyl
- Heavyweight tip on style jacket
- Exclusive listening notes by Andrew Winistorfer
- Long-form "Listening Notes" booklet written by some of the best critics in the game
VMP Rap & Hip Hop includes the VMP-Exclusive Rico Nasty, Nasty!
Nasty is a full realization of all of Rico Nasty’s promise, shedding the conventions she negotiated far too long with. She’s fierce and furious, glory uncompromised. She leans fully into the rasp of her voice, she rages with the best of ’em, and she spits in a caliber most men swear is unattainable to women. Inferiority is nowhere in sight because Rico kicked him in his throat.
Exclusive VMP-edition features:
- Transparent blue vinyl
- Heavyweight tip on style jacket
- Custom-made, die-cut stencil
- Inspired by this album
