I'm not a TMR Vault completionist but I dip in and out when they release something I like. After sitting out for awhile, I signed back up for the Johnny Cash release (which is actually a bit disappointing IMO). I forgot to cancel afterward and got auto charged for the Greatest Hits, which I did not want and fought with them for a refund, to no avail. Well, Greatest Hits finally arrived last week, and it's...great. It's like I made a Spotify playlist of my favorite Stripes songs and hit Shuffle, but on vinyl.

That's a spot-on description of it [pun unintended, but is a happy accident].

I'm actually debating this one. I should have gotten the best of and didn't.. This might be my backup "best of"... Hows the international shipping packaging from TMR? Decent?

Same boat, should have grabbed the best of.

I think shipping is a flat US$10 to the US and Canada.

For sure yeah, not bad at all, I'm more wondering about the actual packaging, whether they ship in solid boxes etc...

Damn you FOMO fuelers!! How long do you usually have to sign up?

Jan 31 for this one I believe.

The packaging changes for each vault. Sometimes whiplash mailers but other times something more custom (the XX packages were solid boxes). The LPs have been taken out on occasion too, but not always (they were for Greatest Hits) - not sure if it's been a problem for anyone, but I've never had seam-splits.

Cash was my first Vault and hung around for greatest hits but cancelled today. I'm sure I'd enjoy it and I'd be betting it will only go up in value but I just won't play it enough to justify it.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Even the Vault releases which may seem underwhelming seem to hold their value and are well done.

Yeah I remember when the Margo Price Vault package dropped and there was a collective "HUHH??" from the vinyl community and then six months later Margo blew up and everyone that passed had tears

Whiplash boxes with a card reinforcer at the top and bottom.

I’ve been on the lookout for that one for a while now, but I don’t think I’ll feel the need anymore now that we’re getting this one.

 

[jfitzy]

I just watched the SNL set for the first time. How did I not hear about that performance until now? That was incredible. I’m even more excited for this release.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I didn't realize that by joining The Vault you got such a big discount with Tidal. Nice perk

 

[Mather]

Signed up. This one looks pretty good to me.

As did I went back to listen to a few songs...I’m letting it roll

Yeah, that posted video has super clean sound so my hopes are that even with the insane crowd noise this ends up being a pretty stellar master. And the setlist is unreal. I'm in.

That direct to acetate Billie Eilish TMR did sounds incredible. So I'm hoping for a similar quality.

 

[spilledleche]

I might be mistaken but I believe the only direct to acetate live stuff they do comes out of the Blue Room in Nashville. This will probably be a as standard concert recording, albeit with the same care they’ve put into recording these the past few years.
