I think there's little doubt they will be acquired at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if UMG was a possible landing spot for them. Stax is owned by Concord which distributes through UMG so Storf would in a sense be working for Stax, which appears to be a dream of his...

Thank you for writing this out. I was thinking the same thing. Dude lost me at the first line and then it got worse as I read it.

The lead single off of this hits home hard. Thanks for posting this!

Agreed. This was an instant cop for me as I always wanted a good copy but the clear variant was always lame in my mind.

I either wasn't subscribed for any of these or swapped them faster than I could say swap. Agreed that this year's selections have been sub par at best but that's also what is making not re-subscribing so easy.

This is 100% how I feel. It's like the comment on Reddit re: Money Talks; sure it sounds amazing but the music is disappointing, this is the kind of album I expect to find in the dollar bin. (paraphrased)

Reading the other comments, others seem to back this up and that the pressing looks pretty bad and nothing like the mock up. Of course, this all means nothing until we see pictures but enough people are posting that it would suggest it's unfortunately reality

I think this also may be true of BVSC. I’m not going to harp on this pressing because I’ve made my thoughts known but I wonder if we’ll see the same thing where the other BG mastered pressing sounds the same if not better then the “definitive” VMP one. I didn’t get the VMP one because I didn’t...

I'll add in a bit here. In 2020, I've slashed my spending like crazy including on vinyl and I can't describe how good it feels. I've halved my expenses, mainly frivolous ones and as a result, we are now in a position to buy a house, something we had only dreamed of before. So whatever your...

Hear Hear!! Yep, this is it. I expect most Canadians to look at the exchange rate and not resub

I foresee a very disappointed customer in their future. Man, that guy is reaching for the rationale behind staying onboard.

It's funny because I remember saying the same thing when they closed the forum. These guys just make the worst business decisions. While I have my MBA, you don't need an MBA to see how they are running this business into the ground. I mean, they closed their "community" which was a big selling...

Even with this discount, I am noping the fuck outta there. I mean, I was anyways but now I don't even need to think about it.

Storf was a mixed bag, sometimes he was awesome and delightful, sometimes he was downright snarky and rude. It's been discussed on here but for a while there were a number of us that tried to defend Storf but then gradually, we too saw the dark side of him and it became harder and harder to...

Someone get the popcorn, this is going to be fun. I'm staying out of it on Reddit only because nothing I would say would add value but oh boy, is this going to be a doozy

I think the problem is that the point of the Classics Channel for VMP is to pick classic albums and get them pressed in the "ultimate pressing of the album" (VMP's words not mine). When the picks are chosen, the understanding is that they are supposed to be top tier albums in that format and not...

In other news, this was posted on Reddit and I don't see a discussion on this yet. Looks like VMP sold a ton of the new "swap exclusives" (that don't exist anymore) to our shaddy buddy. At this point, it's becoming hard to believe that they are not in some way working together on this to create...

Oh I agree and maybe my response is heavily influenced by @NathanRicaud's posts about not liking country (as his posts are frequent and I'm glad that he is posting a bunch on here because it generates discussion). I thought it might make sense to bring forth something I've discovered from diving...

All y'all shitting on country probably don't realize that in almost every genre today, there is significant country influence. I get it, it's cool to jump on the bandwagon and I'll admit, I was right there with you until I realized that popular country (Luke Bryant, Kenny Chesney, etc.) is one...
