Admittedly I was about an hour late as well, but according to reddit, it was sold out about 3 minutes after the email password was even delivered. The whole password thing is a stupid attempt to stop bots/resellers but apparently the password was guessed ahead of the "drop" and that's why it...

That drop was so terribly handled. Hoping it falls flat on the resale market and we can grab it in 6 months for $50.

I mean realistically VMP should be pressing what they think is best for their members, not what their internal staff wants for their personal collection. Nilsson doesn't do anything for me so I guess I'm bias in that regard, but the albums seem to have done well in the store so I guess it's a...

Storf has always been on a weird power trip. It's as though he wasn't liked in highschool and now he has a bunch of VMP members in discord that he can pretend are his friends. I don't mind him personally, but he pushes FOMO like crazy, which I guess is somewhat part of his job. As far as him...

I'm in a cautious holding pattern with GD and Impulse both on pre-order. Hoping I don't regret not cancelling this when I have the chance.

Store drops over the last few years have fallen off a lot for me. Seems they fall into one of these categories: 1) A color variant of an album that is also getting a wide release to indie/other shops 2) A wildly overpriced set that doesn't actually sell well until a massive discount code is...

I got a pretty solid deal on the 1 year membership the last two years. Not sure if I trust to commit to another year without any discount/promotions.

Yeah, with Barter 6 being $600+ on cogs, I can't imagine someone in his camp hasn't suggested it. Not sure why they wouldn't do it. Storf in discord claims the label has no plans to press them again. Take that however you wish.

You have to assume that even if the VMP pressings are done after this that his camp/label are going to press his catalog like wildfire once they see these sales numbers. That said, I'll probably FOMO my way into all four VMP releases because I'm a sucker.

Damn I completely forgot about this.

Suspiciously not tagged as "almost gone" now ?

I don't even bother trying on TBT's unless it's something I really regret passing on, which is few and far between. They should just raffle things off randomly to people that have things on their waitlist.

In like 2019 Storf told us no ROTM's would ever be pressed again. I'm not salty about this at all or holding onto it as a bold faced lie.

Agreed. I'm just wondering if they're flexing the RKS mastering because there is a lack of details available for the 33. You'd also think that if the 33 is RKS that they'd advertise that in some fashion.

The first thing they have in the short description after "VMP-exclusive edition" is, "mastered for vinyl by Ryan K. Smith". Either they are exploiting the lack of pressing details of the 33, or the 45 is the only RKS cut. I understand 45 should technically sound better, but enough to warrant...
