R.I.P. VMP Forum

same, I have a few bonus cassettes, thought about buying a cheap one and plugging it into my computer and digitalizing them

I think I mentioned it a little earlier but I almost bought one in Japan that not only plays the cassette but it will also convert it to mp3...

Im not seeing that it's a big deal. It's the same mastering that's been available since 2015. Also there were numerous reports of noisy albums. The 2015 black reissue is very well done.

So- surprise, surprise- they screwed it up. And that's after getting the jacket wrong.

I dont know, man. That's a pretty beautiful pressing and mine sounds great

Hmm thats a shame. A friend got me that pressing for my birthday last year and it does sound like a dream. Doesn't surprise me they made a mess of their pressing.

I've been wanting to get VMPs copy of it for a while now thinking they did something special but if the colour is the only thing im gonna reconsider.

Outside of the VMP extras and the colored vinyl I believe it's the same master as @HiFi Guy mentioned.

Was the 2015 one a tip-on as well?

I didn't think so, but I checked..........it's not, it'a a matte white jacket with the embossed artwork.

Which is correct to the original. If VMP did a tip on jacket, it's wrong.

It says that it is a tip-on, which I would love to know how it came out. Honestly, with the design of this particular jacket how did the tip-on come out? Anyone?

I was thinking of getting a really really cheap one from a thrift store

my Crumb record got delayed to July

That sounds like you're telling me that my Crumb record got delayed to July, too

Same. Got the e-mail today.

My Loretta Lynn got delayed until July. Fist City that is.

Since the forum shut down there has been a total of three things that would have crated an explosion.

1. Lynn
2. Crumb
3. Anthology jackets

If they wanted to me more “intentional” maybe they should started with the main part of their business?

Yep I edited it down when I couldn’t remember the 4th.

That for sure points to the more “conspiracy” theories that were floating around. No one to keep them honest anymore.

Have they given a reason for this yet?

Did it sell out quickly ? Maybe new policy is to choose some ROTMs on the speed of exclusive sales....
Im only half joking.

 

[Dead C]

Yeah. They said that they know that it was in there, but when they were given the opportunity to do it, they couldn't pass it up. I can find the exact quote, if you like. Someone asked how they didn't know it was going to happen, saying that they thought most choices begin a year out. Storf responded that 3 months to pull one out is the cut off

It wasn't an exclusive. It was just a regular title in the store. They sold a standard copy

Wait - the phoenix they sold in the store was a vmp exclusive? That doesn't sound right. I really hope they wouldn't do that. I thought it was just a curated pick.

I do not believe them. They tell us constantly that they have albums lined up months and months in advance. If there was any inkling that they would do Phoenix as AOTM, they knew it more than 3 months ago.

Double dipping ain't cool! (Unless you are family. Then go ahead and double dip that chip in the dip. But VMP is not family).
