Record of the Month - June

Wells Fargo - Watch Out!

Wells Fargo were part of a counterculture that has been almost totally forgotten, even in its country of origin. In the 1970s, during the last decade of Zimbabwe’s War of Independence, rock music exploded with a message of unity and hope. Wells Fargo was at the forefront of the “Heavy Music” movement serving as fuel for the fight. Originally released as a series of singles, this is the first time their music has been released since its initial, limited pressing. More than four decades later we proudly present to you, in collaboration with Now-Again Records, Watch Out! for the first time in album form.

VMP Edition Features:

• 180g, yellow + green tie dye vinyl

• Gatefold jacket

• 20-pg liner notes books

• 12” x 12” original art print by Sanghon Kim

• Original cocktail recipe courtesy of Zach Wilks, Wilks & Wilson

To give you a glimpse how the July Vinyl Me Please Records for the store look like for now. There will be more announced till the shop opens on June 16th.
Vinyl Me, Please offers very fair prices on most records. Worth for US citizens since they offer free shipping for US Members. Works also sometimes cheaper for international members. I pay 8 USD shipping for the first record and 5 USD for each additional.

Just to let you know if you still thinking about joining a full membership or the crate membership.

On Monday I received a e-mail out of nowhere from VMP. Garage Sale:

That's right, my friends - nothing says summertime quite like a good old fashioned Garage Sale. With over 30 albums, all priced at $13.00 or less + plus free shipping, everyone is sure to find a little something-something to take home!

Free shipping for US citizens only. Records was 11-13 USD. Mixed Genres and all newer record releases. I've picked up Lil Wayne - Carter III for 11 USD, Björk - Medulla (maroon colored) for 13 USD and Floating Points - Elaenia for 13 USD. First record is 8 USD shipping and the next ones each additional 5 USD. So even with shipping they can get cheaper then order them over here. I've paid 50 EUR shipped and I would've paid over 70-80 EUR just for the records here ..

Don't know how often they do such sales but it is definitely also something what's worth to be a member. Think about if you're an US Citizen. Super cheap.

That Bjork medulla vinyl sounds interesting (love Bjork)

And I kinda like some lil Wayne songs. I was against him for years but the last couple his features on other peoples tracks have been ok.

I'd give it a go

I liked Lil Wayne back with Cash Money when I was a Teen. And the Carter records got some dope tracks on it. Everything after that is trash.
Normally I wouldn't mind picking Carter III up but for just 11 USD I added it to my cart.

That Medulla record is recorded only with "mouth sounds". Kind of interesting. Will see how the tunes work, never listend but again maroon colored for 13 USD I couldn't say no..

Later today AOTM for August will be announced. It's probably BadBadNotGood - IV. I really hope it is. Will update this thread after announcement.

I used to hate him but some of the songs he features on with drake, Eminem etc he's usually pretty good. I've never taken the time out to listen to his solo. Also hate drake but I liked his last album.
The particular song of theirs I like is "**** yeah"

I remember cash money when they started with minaj and drake and Lloyd etc that bedrock song lol

I'm talking way back Cash Money Records. I'm talking the original 90s Cash Money Records. Juvenile, Hot Boys, Big Tymers, B.G. , Turk. Lil Wayne was 16-17 at that time. I stopped listen to him after Carter II I think, this was released in 2005. There was no Drake or Nicki Minaj around. Can't listen to them. Most of the songs I can't find like Juvenile - Back that a** up, Lil Wayne - Shine or later stuff like Lil Wayne - Best rapper alive. Here's some early examples of Cash Money Records in the 90s, early 2000s
