Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I also enjoy that one guy claims the complainers killed the forum. I'd try to correct him but I really don't give a shit to get more involved with someone who's that much of a sycophant. The complaining is what pressed VMP to move quickly. I highly doubt they knew it was this widespread. The complaints clued them in.

It would have taken me a while to figure it out. Totally agree with you. They would have done nothing if people wouldn't have said anything.

It will be my last VMP product. They are making their mistakes right, but the problems with QC have made it a less than pleasurable experience.

I was down to six more records, now that I’m getting another Shorter; I’m waiting on seven more of their products. That’s it that’s all.

I’ve paid for my last VMP record, but I’m still waiting on two records, Lukas & Loretta.
 
If you saw my status I just got off from speaking with Matt and Llyod and will be meeting up with Llyod in person so there will quite a bit of additional feedback given. Sorry @Mr Moore I didn't get to your question, there wasn't a natural place to insert it but I will have it down for the in person

Anyone know if they will post the Don Was AMA. I know it wasn't great but I would still like to check it out

While it wasn't life-altering it was decent

Yep, I got out for reasons that have been well-documented on this forum (not related to the Anthology), but man, this has been an utter shit show. Errors, big and small, with every single release so far.

And that's not including what's going on in the main club right now with fulfillment issues and poor inventory management. So glad I can let the expense and stress roll off.

I'm off to drink a glass of water.

I don’t think so. I’m just exhausted from their constant fuck ups.

I actually think they are making it right with the replacement Dexter cover and the replacement Schizophrenia, but I'm also pretty exhausted with the constant QC mistakes, Orwellian communication, and under-delivery on added content.

After this Blue Note Anthology, I was trying to think up what label anthology would make me consider signing up again? If it stays at the price point the BN one was, probably nothing, but if the cost was lowered...Motown? Fania? Chess?
 
I think it's now going to be my goal to put together the VMP Red Headed StepChild Anthology Box... If I can get my hands on a screwed up copy of each of these releases, reversed labels, wrong jacket, damaged outer box etc, and can put together the Ugly Fugly Duckling VmP BlURnOrte ANtHoloGY BoRx I will be very very amused...
Yes, yes this will be very amusing indeed...
 
Also, even though we already knew what the releases would be, someone posted an article from this month's Downbeat basically confirming the albums in package 3.

Lol. VMP keeps getting scooped.

This happened in the mastering process and was caught by our quality control team prior to the record going to press.

Based on my history with VMP, I don't believe this statement. That said,

We are working with our partners and will be sending everyone a new copy to make up for this issue free of charge, regardless of whether your copy was affected.

Big ups to VMP getting in front of this. Is was going to email them to ask for a replacement but their message hit my inbox first. Credit where credit is due.

I'd just like to state that I would be more than willing to pay the shipping for you to unload said albums on me, myself, and I... up here all lonesome in Canada with currently no anthology albums to keep me warm.

Assuming the replacement Schizo is all fine when it arrives and they don't ask for the old one to be sent back, I can send you my schizo Schizo. If you want me to reserve it for you, let me know and I'll put a sticky note on the shrink so I don't forget when the replacement arrives. Don't worry about the postage.

It always seems to be the same two who complain about the complainers. It won't shock most of you that the hype man is one of the 2.

Is Sam the Record Man/Vinyl Junkies having some fun on the FB?
 
Mather said:
I'm seriously going to try to do this. If I can't get someone's banged up box I'll make one out of an old VMP mailer and write BlURnOrte ANtHoloGY BoRx on it in crayon.

Actually that might be better...

Mather Edition 1 of 1 Blue Note Anthology Box.
Featuring
  • Incorrect Album Artwork
  • Wrong Sided Labels
  • Artwork Bends
  • Scratches
  • A scribbled "1/1" on the back of the box
If you act fast a warp can be included with every record.

It's just one easy payment of 230$ act fast.

I called Jazzbo out about complaining about complaining haha. That other dude too on there. If anybody has a gripe with stuff, they just parrot "who cares?! it's about the music! people will never be happy!" That facebook group is atrocious. Facebook is just not a format that is good for this kind of stuff. Anytime I go on there, I just see people complaining about complaining or posting record sleeves with no other information. Nothing from VMP.

Jazzbo actually sent me a PM and said I was right and he went back to change his comments/delete some so I guess kudos to him for admitting it. Didn't expect that but good on him. I think I'll just stay off there for awhile and not participate.


Also the main reason why I think VMP wasn't lying about them catching this early and nobody at the plant fixed it is because there's no way in HELL, VMP would freely offer to send everyone a new copy even if it wasn't messed up. The plant or whoever screwed up is eating the cost on this one, not VMP.
