About Robert-Anthony from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Caution picture disc (106,621) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I sold my numbered Caution picture disc yesterday for car repairs. Now I am feeling sad about it. I am just kicking myself because I know the rules of selling vinyl to get the most cash, but I didn't follow my own rules this time. I sold some other newer pricey vinyl records together right at closing time. Oh well, it is just a picture disc for the nostalgia and you never get the best sound from a picture disc. Right? Just 1 of my 200 plus MC items in my collection since 1990. Here are six rules for selling your vinyl to get the most cash.

Rule #1 - Sealed, Original Master Recordings and import records are worth $$$$$.

Rule #2 - Never sell CDs and DVD's with your vinyl records. Selling them with your vinyl records will cause the salesman to lowball you and give you less cash for the vinyl.

Rule #3 - Sell numbered picture discs and regular picture discs separately.

Rule #4 - Sell classic rock and jazz separately. Classic R&B is only worth $$$$ money if the vinyl record is rare or out of print.

Rule #5 - Always have an generic sleeve for the vinyl record and clean with a vinyl cloth whenever you sell.

Rule #6 - Check eBay, Discogs, and Amazon before you decide to put a vinyl record in your selling stack to know if the records with give the most cash.

Charli XCX (106,620) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Her new album Brat is really good. Waterloo Records played it yesterday while I shopped. I was pleasantly surprised how it sounded. It is probably the best pop/dance album this year.

The Boy Is Mine (106,619) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I skipped this song when I listened to the album for the first time. It is growing on me now.

Article: Mariah surprises with her first career hit on one chart (106,614) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I was wondering the same thing too, Matty. All of these different charts these days are so confusing.

Through The Rain remix (106,612) by Robert-Anthony from United States
No one ever talks about this remix. I love her tone on this remix. When I listen to it, I become so immersed with MC's beautiful tone and how Joe's and Kelly's vocals blend so beautiful with MC's vocals. I always wondered how a Maurice Joshua sped up remix would sound.

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,607) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Dolly will release album #50 on November 15th. Her last album was released on November 17, 2023. She began her career in 1955. This lady looks like she is 50 years old right now. Dolly does not slow down. Everyone loves Dolly Parton. This last fact really made me laugh. Her own label is called Butterfly Records. How funny is that?

The-Dream (106,601) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I guess MC won't be working with The-Dream anymore after these allegations. I don't understand why music producers like R.Kelly, Sean "Diddy" Combs", and The-Dream allow fame and money to overtake their moral judgement to use and mistreat women in such horrific ways. No heart emoji today.

Made For Me remix (106,598) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Well, the remix has gotten absolutely little to no airplay during the past two weeks. I just don't understand why. I believe at this point MC will never receive radio airplay except at Christmas time. I used to think that a duet with Usher or Chris Brown could get MC back on pop and urban radio. However, now I think that a duet with Usher and Breezy would not be played either.

Do you think we could get a bonus doll depicting her infamous appearance on MTV TRL?

Rainbow25 (106,594) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I don't really know, but I am preducting that MC will release the remix one week before the NYC Pride Festival on June 30th. This way it will have the biggest impact during her home city's Pride Festival.

Lifetime movie idea (106,590) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I have an idea for a Lifetime movie to only focus on the beginning of MC's career through her last album with Sony. I just want the movie to focus only on the ups and downs of her relationship with Tommy and her recording career at Sony. Save the Glitter movie, mental breakdown and post Glitter career for a major motion picture to fully tell the Mariah Carey story in a 2-hour epic movie. The Lifetime movie should be written to depict MC's fast rise to stardom and her tumultous relationship with Tommy. My idea would be great for young people born in the 2000s to fully understand how MC became Mariah Carey.

X-Girlfriend (106,589) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Kandi Buruss revealed during a Club Shay Shay interview (2023) that she and MC wrote X-Girlfriend over the phone. MC opted to record Rainbow in Capri, Italy and Kandi and Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs could not join her there. I did not know that is how X-Girlfriend was created.

Caution is probably better than TEOM (106,573) by Robert-Anthony from United States
That was my statement after listening to the Caution album and some 2017-2021 voice analysis YouTube videos today. My statement got me thinking after hearing how Lambs in the YouTube comments section just adore Caution. Before Caution, TEOM is a fan favorite post Butterfly. Lambs say that Caution is MC's most critically album and so many just love how MC's musicality just shines on Caution. Fan favorites like Giving Me Life, 8th Grade, and The Distance prove that MC was a bit hard on herself for saying that Caution was rushed. What she produced and delivered was further from the truth what fans would consider a rushed album. How many artists are able to go back and revisit an album track and recreate it into a marvelous world-class dance track? There are not many artists who can or are willing to do that like MC does so effortlessly with her catalogue. It is a great time to be a Lamb. I guess MC won't be able to say that MC16 was rushed. Lol. I am going to put down Mariah book until next weekend. Lol.

Re-release of #1's on vinyl (106,572) by Robert-Anthony from United States
After Sony's last batch of MC's colored vinyl made avaialble in her store, I didn't like the sound quality of those vinyl records. So now I try to buy black vinyl first whenever I can and stay away any colored vinyl variations. Colored vinyl records are usually sold at retailers like Urban Outfitters, Wal-Mart, Target, and Barnes and Nobles as an exclusive to get customers into their stores or onto the website. Colored vinyl has a poor sound quality and does not last as long as black vinyl. Colored vinyl is manufactured below 150g. 150g-180g is the best weight and you tell a difference when you hold the vinyl record in your hand.

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,569) by Robert-Anthony from United States
MC just posted a snippet on X today. Ooh wee y'all. Her vocals and Mary's, Trey's and Charlotte's background vocals are really good. It is on the way like I said it was in June along with Pride merchandise. I have my insider source in NYC. Lol. Check it out.

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,560) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Yes, I need another dance remix to workout to. Lol. Also, can you imagine if she made a remix to Languishing as well? The Lambs would be set for the year. Let me X MC right now.

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,558) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I have a strong feeling that the finished Rainbow song is going to be released in late June to celebrate Pride month. Something also tells me that there may be a Rainbow EP to go along with her usually Pride merchandise in her store in June. MC said during a recent interview with RetroPop's Connor Gotto that other things are coming as well to go along with Rainbow and she is looking into whether Angels Advocate can finally be released. Let's keep our fingers crossed because I have been saying all year something big is going to be dropped in her store this year. The interviewer Connor Gotto has to be a Lamb. Only a Lamb would ask MC about Angels Advocate. Lol.

We need someone to do a mash-up of these two songs. I had forgotten all about Make You Happy until it randomly played on my workout playlist.

Portrait late at night (106,544) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I wonder if longer remixes will be something MC will do in future remixes. I enjoy the journey she takes us on. When I listen to it, I feel like I am right in studio with her. My favorites parts are the back and forth scanting. It took me back to AYNAF Ministry of Sound remix.

Made For Me (remix) (106,542) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I believe the reason the remix is still #1 is because of 2nd verse from MC. The rap style singing builds the song for the gospel style closing. MC just singing the 2nd verse probably would not have had the same effect. There is even a different beat with MC's verse. R&B fans of today love a major switch in song that is different from other parts in the song. For example, Sza's Good Days when she switches back and forth from subtle to fast pace singing to her low notes on the fan favorite last chorus line of "Good day living in my mind." If you ask any Sza fan, they probably will tell you that Good Days is their favorite song from SOS.
