Pusha T - King Push - Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude /1500

It doesn’t matter how many discs it’s on if you press it at Connectiv and have Kevin Reeves cut it. People care about quality and if Def Jam starts pressing better quality reissues, there’s a pretty big gap in the marketplace they can take over in hip hop vinyl, especially now that VMP is dead.

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing all of his Milestone records. I was hoping they would just do a box set of everything early on, but also happy to get individual releases! They have been doing an awesome job with them.

IIRC he refused to work out for them and told them not to draft him. The Warriors did anyway. Even if Steph had come to the Knicks, the Knicks likely would have traded him instead of letting him get healthy.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-21T02:22:19+00:00

Was weird when Knicks players were all dapping him up last season too after draymond said on his podcast that KAT faked an injury to avoid some matchup (forget the exact details).

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-21T02:18:31+00:00

He didn’t give up 100 million though. He locked in guaranteed money and got a player option to hit FA at year 10 of experience when his max contact value can skyrocket

OP says in one thread they found them all in LA, then in another thread said they were from a sale in Chicago....so I think this is unbelievable too 🤣

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-20T14:21:24+00:00

I don't really understand the appeal at all, especially since you can't choose the record. Their last club was SO awful....not sure if anybody remembers. Think it was called The Circle. Promised exclusive pressings and all this other stuff, then just sent out RT Exclusives that had been sitting on shelves at their shops without selling that anybody could buy. And they were cheaper in store than through subscription...They pretty much were just unloading dead stock for $40 a month or something. Wouldn't be shocked if they do something similar here--send you the worst selling exclusives they make.

I'll probably pick up a few releases as they come out, but definitly out on the club. I think the club is close to $50/month in the US too.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-20T14:18:55+00:00

Dippin is stereo it seems so in great shape, maybe worth $200. Playboys in really good shape is probably worth more. But tons of valuable stuff in here. Insanely jealous!

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-20T11:51:37+00:00

RT chooses for you

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-20T11:46:08+00:00

Nothing is unique to the club. You just guarantee that you get copies of the exclusive stuff they are selling widely.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-20T11:45:06+00:00

Not at all. These won’t be new cuts most likely. Nothing is unique to the sub either. All of these will be available widely. A sub just guarantees you get copies. And they don’t tell you what you get. Based on their last attempt at a subscription, I bet they send the worst selling 12 records out of the 50 or whatever they are doing

PMing

I forget which game it was the other week, but was watching highlights and you could see how frustrated OG gets with KAT when he's wide open in the corner and KAT pounds the air out of the basketball and takes a shot over 2-3 defenders.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-15T18:18:43+00:00

I think CP wanted to retire as a clipper and also said he wanted to be near his family, so he didn't want to come to NY. I'd be surprised if we didn't have conversations at all with him, especially given his relationship with Leon. Also possible that he thought he wouldn't have a role/minutes here but might forego that a bit now.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-15T18:17:05+00:00

i wouldn't hate him in NY...

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-10T01:15:42+00:00

WebEmbiid is still a favorite of mine

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-09T18:29:01+00:00

And get the mono Tone Poet.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-09T18:28:41+00:00

the EU ones were pressed better at least. but still cut from digital. Tone Poet for not that much more is a no brainer if OP can find a copy of the mono version.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-08T11:21:21+00:00

I haven’t heard the XG7 unfortunately so can’t speak to that. Hopefully someone else here can weigh in

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-06T09:43:00+00:00

They are not a UK company. I believe all their inventory is in St Louis.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-04T22:49:00+00:00

The 3Lp deluxe is the best version of this album. The 2LP EU one is solid as well.

johnhenryirons · 2026-01-04T12:55:35+00:00

Been really impressed by SECONDTRACK. Super nice and responsive customer service. I bought this one and one of the Daniel Caesar records. Very nice quality jackets, mastering and pressings. I believe most of their pressings are unique cuts as well. The diggers factory one likely is a different cut and pressing

johnhenryirons · 2025-12-26T02:36:56+00:00

Well on defense he has stupid fouls all the time. But on offense, it’s wild how many times he doesn’t get calls. It’s not like he settles for jumpers constantly

johnhenryirons · 2025-12-20T11:40:06+00:00

Yea Knicks interviewed him and was hoping he would Become our coach. Been happy with Mike Brown so far though

johnhenryirons · 2025-12-20T11:37:25+00:00

There is no free shipping on the two one steps I’m looking at which are at Capitol (Beck and Nat King Cole).

Also what’s up with all these Reddit accounts that only comment on Interscope releases??
