New Butcher Brown album dropped: https://daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-day/butcher-brown-letters-from-the-atlantic-review?utm_source=notification I... actually haven't listened to it yet. 😔 Looks like the vinyl is sold out on Bandcamp for the moment, but it's available on their site.

Alls I'm saying is I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

It's for an "upcoming" unreleased Classics so doesn't look like VMP ever will officially do anything with them :(

I forget what the general vibe of it was around here, but I received Broadcast's The Noise Made By People in the 35% off sale and it looks/sounds great. Probably my last "new" purchase from VMP, and a solid one to go out on, imo. In other news I got shipping for my dongs and dunts, but after...

While it kind of sucks you also got a dupe, at least it’s a banger like Afro-Harping that you should have zero problem flipping.

My three anthology test pressings all come from The Story of Ghetto Records... and two of them are the same album.

Don't listen to everyone else, VMP is doing gangbusters right now you definitely want to renew and use this referral link. https://www.vinylmeplease.com/pages/join-the-club?referral=VMP58G150CHRISTOPHER

goddamn that's cold-blooded coming from your ex-boss.

I'm coming in with the hottest of takes: Storf isn't a bad writer. I think he maybe needed an editor to help hone some of his analogies and doublecheck some grammar, but his writing was, on the whole, easy to read and entertaining. I thought his Gus Cannon article was superb, for example. I...

It was pretty quick, like two or three days, with a brief limbo period in discord

Not at last check but life is coming at VMP employees pretty fast these past few days.

I know we still occasionally joke about VMP’s merch like the beanie or that record opener knife, but I just want to point out this sort of product isn’t unique to them. Behold: https://www.turntablelab.com/products/stable-33-33-record-transit-platter-turntable-lab-edition

I also got the Broadcast exclusive using this month's credit swap. If they were trying to get actual money from me, this attempt was a miss. 🤷‍♂️

Clever girl.

Clay being an art guy leaving isn’t too surprising imo, I didn’t they’d be doing a new anthology again any time soon (if at all). If Storf says he’s gone then that definitely means VMP is fucked.

You assume correctly. So at this point if we're not making a new entry, I'm thinking maybe we just include a brief explanation in the entry's notes.

And the bar code sticker as well? Idk I feel like one came out in early 2024 and a repress came out in early 2025, and there’s info that can determine which one is which. That to me feels like it’d warrant its own entry but if it falls into simple variant territory, I won’t create it.

Identical to the 2024 pressing except one group of stamped numbers were changed. Side A: 1652077 is now 1789800 Side B: 1768737 is now 2011183 Edit: And for anyone that cares, the 2025 version has a barcode sticker on the outer sleeve which I didn't have on my 2024 pressing: 081227818999

I've finally had time to crank it up, and it's fucking fantastic. The clicks/pops from my original copy are absent aside from a small amount of that trademark GZ crackle in the deadwax. That's what really drove me to wanting a replacement were the pops throughout Solitude, the absolute quietest...

No warping, sounded great on first listen, although I didn't have it cranked up as loud as I'd like. But I think it fixes the sound issues I had on my original copy. I just wish it didn't take 14 months to have received that replacement. 😩
