Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I don't get adding to the fire it's just counterproductive at best and mean spirited at worst.

It doesn't change anything. The place sucks regardless and they lead the charge to make it that way. The fact that someone super-enthusiastically supporting their own positions bothers them so much is hilarious to me.

I'd say the people who were going around insulting and harassing people were mean-spirited at best. To have their own posts exaggerated and regurgitated back to them on one post where they are continuing their trend is not the problem, it's a comment on the problem. Them getting bent out of shape over it is merely a bonus.

And why not add to this: at least one person who was insulting, harassing, and breaking the rules in other ways has been allowed to stay in the group despite definitely breaking the "3 Strike Rule" in the posted rules saying that you're account will be muted. And I have brought this fact to VMPs attention and have been completely ignored.

I received my 3rd installment today, which of course included the final 2 records, but no liner notes booklet. Am I missing something? I was under the impression that there was supposed to be some sort of booklet that would be sent out with the final shipment?? Anybody else get their shipment, and is also missing the booklet?

I contacted VMP about it, so I'll report back with their response.

I’m going to laugh so hard if the liner notes got delayed too. Hopefully they just forgot to pack them and yours is an outlier incident... hope you get them soon!

Mather for the win! I think you really nailed the VMP Millennial hipster aesthetic with this one. I spit coffee all over my computer screen reading this.

VMPs response to my email:

“Hello-

Glad to hear you got your third installment of the Anthology records! The liner notes booklet will be shipping separately but shouldn't be too far behind, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Stephen”

Unless I’m missing something, VMP made it seem like the booklet would be shipped along with the final 2 records. How hard is it to send out a notification that the final installment will come in 2 shipments, LPs in 1, liner notes booklet in the other??
 
That was my first thought. VMP Stephen is probably making sh*t up to try and cover for some mistake(s).

The email from VMP said "we're putting the final touches on your last shipment." Shipment. Singular. Maybe since they sent that email, they proofread the booklet and found a problem, and now have to wait for reprinted booklets?

Same here - got the final two records today but no booklet.

So lets see Dexter was definitely Blue Notes fault and Wayne was completely the pressing plants fault. So I guess the liner notes delay will be blamed on Brent Ratliff. But don't worry VMP will own this and make it right, in 4-10 weeks depending on how long it takes to print off the booklet at Kinkos.

Ha! We will probably just get a digital copy now :ROFLMAO:
 
I'm using Informed Delivery with the USPS. It shows one coming from Denver that I have the existing tracking number for. The other has a label generated from the same location.
 
Small corner ding on my Ambrose LP as well. Not return-worthy, but this is the first physical damage of any of the shipments for me. May be a good thing they didn't try to stuff the booklet in with the records? It's a thick gatefold, so the single mailer felt full already.
