VNYL Sliding: Why The “Netflix For Vinyl” Service Is Such A Mess

When VNYL launched its Kickstarter campaign on December 22, 2014, the goal was to obtain $10,000 in funding. When the campaign ended 17 days later, on January 9, 2015, the project’s organizers had nearly quadrupled that goal, amassing $36,000 total. That money came in part thanks to countless...

In this case, it's technically a good thing. He told the bankruptcy court he intended to fulfill all the orders, and Bandbox provided proof of the outstanding orders along with the information as to whom & where the records should be shipped. Sure, he was likely also taking the list so he could personally try to sell all those customers on the new service but I'll still take it as overall good news.

Knowing that he's involved, and watching both the company and then he separately offer up a record I'm waiting on (Superchunk), lessens my belief that I'll ever see all (any?) of the records but at least it's possible. Maybe between Barsuk & John haranguing him, those Long Winters records will get moving, too. My address hasn't changed.

From everything I’ve seen/heard, bandbox’s records are uh…..something hah. We’ll see if they fulfill anything past these first few titles. I really want the Luna Rendezvous and Hadley Caliman- Iapetus . Those are the two I’d be saddest about never getting
