It also helps if you have something that can be leveraged on the off chance you can’t make a payment. VMP’s business model doesn’t give them a lot of assets that they can put against the loan. To be clear, a business plan is very much needed but it helps to have assets. Also, in terms of...

It's likely that if this happens, this passion project loses the passion part and all the FOMO bs that we've been seeing is ramped up like crazy and it folds within a year. The next 3 - 6 months will be very interesting to watch, regardless of whether you are a subscriber or not.

I'm finding it hard to disagree with this. I don't want it to be true but I think there is something serious going on with VMP and it could easily be something like cash flow issues. I'm not at the point of cancelling anything but I also wouldn't be surprised if what you have surmised is happening

I think when the announcement about the forum closing came out, I was just disappointed because I knew that we, as customers, had just lost. What we lost was VMP as we knew because it signaled what a lot of people had been talking about and what we've come to realize, that those in charge have...

First off, thank you, I'm glad that my comments here are making sense and appreciated. I do remember this conversation on the forum and when the announcement happened, I was pretty angry because I had recently joined the forum and enjoyed getting the heads up on releases that were about to be...

We really need a facepalm emoji reaction for posts exactly like this. Guys, it's not hard, just tell us the truth and it will solve a lot of frustration

This is what happens when you deploy new enterprise systems and don't test it. As an IT Manager, this just pisses me off because it's easy to avoid, it just takes a bit of work. It's clear that whomever rolled this out has never done this before because a lot of the issues we're seeing are not...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this may have been the only one they could acquire rights to and get the tapes for. It looks like most of the other key Herbie albums are being released on trusted labels including BN Tone Poet and Music Matters. Perhaps there are upcoming releases...

I had the same reaction. I know I will be getting every one of these releases (I have all the current Tone Poets except Cassandra Wilson, just not a fan of the album). There's a good chance that I cancel VMP all together (or everything but Classics) in the new year so this is where my money...

It was a post on the Blue Note Instagram: So excited!

I too will be doing this. I think it will be instead of Essentials though as Dirty Projectors are not really my jam. I will swap Herbie if there is a better option but I'm okay with keeping it

This is amazing! Thank you! I think I'll go this route instead of the box set

Couldn't get the link to work either. Assuming this is true (which is likely is), this may actually be the thing that puts the nail in the coffin for me doing anything other than (or possibly including) my Classics subscription. I've worked in IT management for nearly 10 years and I can tell you...

Looks like it's the second pressing as they label KG as the mastering engineer and it's pressed at Rainbo. I bought both this and the John Moreland

On VMP Reddit? I don't see it. Either way, I know there are a lot of Caribou fans on here so I wanted to make sure they knew!

Man that second pressing would be sweet. I shudder at it being Rainbo but that being said, I have had a few good pressings by them through VMP so it could be alright. It's weird that they have two versions of this released by the same company so close together. You can never go wrong with a KG...

Just saw this for all you Caribou fans. I don't remember seeing this or this being announced https://www.vinylmeplease.com/products/caribou-suddenly?variant=31391175966810

Vinyl Passion is 100% a grey label and sources from CDs. Their pressings are garbage and not worth your money. Also no money goes to the Ray Charles estate so if you care about supporting artists and their families, stay away.

On a hilarious note, it looks like Knxwledge is selling the exact same version as VMP on his bandcamp site for way less. https://knxwledge.bandcamp.com/album/hud-dreems

I too work in IT and have done several database migrations. If anything remotely like this happened, I would have been fired several times over. I’ve done complex migrations and never had any issues like this. Whomever did this should leave the industry because there is no excuse for this. It’s...
