I hope more records include light-up hand sculptures!

The first TMBG club membership came with a blue canary nightlite. And I've never regretted not getting something more.

There's a really good thread going on over at Hoffman.
Someone uploaded a pretty good sound comparison file over the weekend.
Edit: they're just bitching about packaging costs right now. So flip several pages back
I'm pretty content with the $13 version at this time.

The 1 LP. Figured it's a start.

nice! I have that one too although mine is probably closer to VG condition than VG+. i have the 2LP on backorder at Music Direct.

Definitely. Only time will tell if it is producing a audiophile-grade product.

Just saw the email. I’m going to predict VMP may have a few glitches getting it going.
. But, overall as more pressing plants come on line it has to be a good thing for vinyl lovers.

I mean there is some lowing hanging fruit in terms of jokes and being skeptical on quality, but I believe this is great news. The more pressing plants that can come online to meet demand the better for the hobby overall.
I do wonder if this was the reason they cut ties with QRP. I always assumed it was the other way around, where QRP ended the relationship to fill demand of their catalog. Bringing online a new pressing plant seems like it would take longer than a year. Shrug.
Also, did they really just poach Gary Salstrom from QRP to run it? That gives me more confidence this will be top notch.

I was prepared to be sceptical. But if they've got David Rawlings on board and he brings as much care as he has done to the Acony/Gillian Welch stuff then it would be interesting.Hmmm, I will reserve judgement

It's being run by Gary Salstrom. I wonder if this will mean a decline in quality at QRP?

Bringing Gary in takes it to a completely new level IMO. This is awesome news.

Very surprised they poached Gary. Maybe that's why QRP told VMP they wouldn't do classics anymore

This is my guess as well. Spinning up this type of business takes a considerable amount of planning to execute. They would have had to have already secured financing, real-estate, talent, org structure, contracts, purchasing presses, etc. many many months ago. Well prior to that announcement.Very surprised they poached Gary. Maybe that's why QRP told VMP they wouldn't do classics anymore

I think this is actually the biggest part of opening a plant, having experienced leadership to run it assuages my biggest concern. Good luck to them, I'm interested to see how it goes.
I always thought the 1 lp MoFi sounded pretty darn good! Definitely more clear and bright than the OG without sacrificing the bass. I eventually sold my copy though since I bought the 2 LP and didn’t need three copies. Plus, like yours, the single MoFi was in VG condition. I would love to have a NM quality copy since I would probably spin that more than the OG. The 2 lp MoFi is reference quality but it’s a bit of a pain to play.
