Well there ya go! Thanks!

Got the same update, and was a bit surprised. That said, you have to tip your cap - a nice gesture for sure.

I will be 100% surprised if these ever materialize. It’s a real shame. I still want the Catch a Fire Jamaican version though…

That's the one I'm waiting on, though I can't argue with your logic.

I’ve had trouble with UDiscover CS so this is an unexpected surprise. Now I just have to decide “If you have any questions or would prefer not to receive the free vinyl, please respond to this email for further assistance.” Do I want the free vinyl or not?

Well there ya go! Thanks!

I can also vouch for the store, Mill City Sound that is behind this...great local store - probably my favorite in the Twin Cities. This is their first reissue via the Backgroove label, so no track record, but I would trust them to do this right...

Except their cart/web page doesn't really work. And it's trying to charge me tax.

SEASICK/THE END OF ALL MUSIC EXCLUSIVE ROYAL BLUE W/ BLACK SWIRL VINYL Sometimes great things come in humble packages. The ramshackle cover art for this 1972 album makes it look like a bootleg, and the rampant misspellings and inconsistencies in the album and song titles make it clear that...

this has been happening more and more lately. VMP sends out the FOMO emails saying only x amount left of an anthology, then it pops up at various other outlets for sale. GD, Stax, and others were for sale at Acoustic Sounds too.

I can’t figure out how to ship this thing for the life of me haha

Interesting. If Ric Menck is involved that is prime 90s indie pop street cred

Yeah, lot of interesting potential there. But it won’t let me check out. So hrm.

Same. Saw someone mention just hitting the local pickup even though it's charging more for shipping, then putting a comment in that says to ship. I just really don't want to pay tax also when we don't have it. I might call tomorrow.

You have to select “shipping” before adding it to your cart and it’ll change the price of the record to include the shipping cost. When you’re checking out, it won’t let you finalize until you select “pick up in store.” Someone on Reddit said it’s a work around and it should still be shipped appropriately.

Interesting. Maybe I’ll try that.

edit: he tried that and it worked. Looks like they added those instructions to the order page as well.
