Adventures in Foam

Before he scrambled the history of electronic music via his forward-thinking beat creation, Amon Tobin released ‘Adventures in Foam’, his debut album as Cujo. A groundbreaking moment in trip-hop and breakbeat music, it's been out of print for more than 10 years on vinyl. This 3LP version, back...

They go to the VMP warehouse and from there would go to any distributor. If GZ were capable of splitting an order and drop shipping (which I don't think they do), that would make things far too complicated for the dolts at VMP.

US tariffs on the EU would end VMP right? That'd make their product insanely expensive.

I imagine they would try to move to a US-based pressing plant. And it would be much easier to do so given they are only really pressing runs of 2,000 or less now.

I think they were just massively over-pressing everything and being stuck with copies. they are doing less releases and lower numbers now it seems. they will also apparently do some open pre-orders like they did with D'Angelo then round up to have some more in stock in the store when the records arrive.

i think it's a smart move personally to avoid them being stuck with tons of stock that they can't move. they still sold tons of stuff like Joni, but over-pressed and still have copies. I think Bruce Springsteen was a MASSIVE overpress.

Oh yeah but the fact it’s a smart move really shows how much they fucked it. Even accounting for overpressing they were shifting many multiple of that every month.

well yea...your CEO funneling millions of dollars into his own pressing plant didn't help matters hah.

they also expanded way too much with way too many tracks forcing themselves to press even more. and in many cases large quantities of albums that didn't sell well.

I’ll be very interested to hear both sides of story and how it plays out in court. Well unless they settle first.

They also shat the bed with curation, it got very very poor for an extended period.

Volume is the key with GZ main factory in Czechia. No other factory can press the same numbers really. It’s why back in the huge essentials numbers day that was the only place they could go.

This sentence is breaking my brain.

Yea this is old news I believe. They are way worse than GZ. GZ has plants all over the world. But as @Joe Mac said, GZ proper is the only one that can do the kinds of numbers VMP used to need on a monthly basis while also pressing tons of other records.

VMP started working with Furnace and other US plants more. The spiritualized repress that was in swaps this month was pressed at furnace and sounds better than the older VMP pressing.
