Depends. If the decision to terminate had been made prior, there is a strong argument for going ahead. If the complaint can be seen legally and morally as an attempt to evade a dismissal, it doesn't matter if it is three days or three months. If the employer feels the relationship has become...

Generally, no. Wrongful dismissal, human rights, employment related litigation isn't usually insurable. Particularly today. It has become all too easy, and all too common, for those who can get away with it to claim 'discrimination' when terminated to elicit a higher payout. It often works...

Being a tax deductible donation only matters when the business has actual taxable net income to deduct against.

Soon to be a collectors item.

I think it was a feint.

UPDATE: I heard today that everyone was let go, except Matt and one other. Storf was let go at the same time Paul was. You don't have a 'going concern' with two employees. Particularly when one is the CEO - the most useless employee at this point. VMP is no longer a going concern. Right now...

And I said it TWICE.

MikeH is absolutely right. It has been clear for awhile. There is only one reason for the absurdly lengthy production delays. THEY ARE ON C.O.D. AT THE PRESSING PLANTS AND EVERY SUPPLIER. Or worse - they have to pay up front for the whole order. That causes them to lose at least 3 months cash...

Paulie was their last and best online defender. Letting him go was inevitable, he probably knew that. It's gotta be the walking dead at VMP now. As the cash flow dwindles and the liabilities add up, every time a payroll comes around they have to decide who they can still afford and who they...

There are no launch dates. I believe their cash crunch is so severe they are on COD at pressing plants. So they need to move stock to get funds to get anything pressed. That's why release dates are a constantly shifting target. I also noticed a lot of preorders suddenly going to...

He can spend time answering emails or shipping records. I prefer shipping records. Emailing won't make it faster. Mine haven't shipped yet. I'm not bugging him. I've managed to live half a century without them. A bit more isn't an issue.

The TP has slightly different EQ. Not better, not worse. Slightly different. Same tape. Same mastering chain.

It can't be a Tone Poet if the Tone Poet wasn't involved, can it?

Besides, 16 felonies qualifies him to be President.

Considering the music, it is worth the price and more. This record has always been somewhat overlooked - Ballads, ALS, VV and Birdland get more attention. And BTW, very sadly, Birdland went up in smoke - including all the unreleased material. But it is just a perfect record, start to finish...

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.

Doesn't matter to me. Nothing VMP does is of interest to me anymore. Might be interested in Budos Band, if they make it to May (but it will probably be delayed until 2027). That's it. More concerned about Canada imposing a 25% retaliatory tariff on the formerly democratic U.S. - that will bump...

If you are using some type of gel or sticky substance, your stylus might be gunked up and sticky, and so picking up and accumulating dust a lot.

You can never eliminate dust. Your skin produces an amazing amount through continual flaking. For the most part, unless extreme, dust doesn't affect vinyl playback. The stylus just pushes it out of the way. Just look at a record under strong direct sunlight. Loads of dust even right after...

Better question - is there an air purifier in the room? The whole purpose of a good air purifier is to keep particles out of the air. Gels on a stylus are terrible. More harm than good. Fluids, unless an insane amount is poured into the cartidge, can't harm cartridge internals. Generally...
