Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Good! I'm sure it'll be fine for me since I don't really know what I'm missing having never heard the 2017. In general there are few VMP ROTMs that I hear where the mastering is actually bad, it's usually the pressing plants that have the issues. I'd say probably the muddiest sounding ROTM I have is EL-P. Still love it, but it's not a great master. Though I'd imagine that owes more to the original mastering quality than anything VMP did. Since it's likely a very digital, very low quality OG master that also uses tonnes of old samples. But I would think The Whites Stripes masters would be of pretty high quality just knowing JWs personality.

Although I remember Car Seat Headrest (in fact every now and then I'll stumble upon another side c/d warped at a right angle at the bottom of a box in my garage) . Sometimes even mastering and pressing can't save Vmp from full blown stupidity.

Got a flat one in the end though
 
I've received my White Stripes in a box with Prince Paul. And I've received 3 additional records I've ordered from VMP in 3 single packages. It seems for many people they did send out records in separate packages this month. I've received all mine the same day. It was funny how the mailman counted handing me out a record package after the other haha.
 
My White Stripes was with my regular July ROTMs (John Mayer and McCoy Tyner). My swap was separate, as well Khruangbin. All shipped the same day.

I got everything but Khruangbin which processed through my closet major processing center 6 days ago and no updates.

I saw another post that mentioned that if the order was after 6/1 then you might have to wait for the repress. We were on a 3 month sub starting with the Stooges so hopefully we’ll be good....

Well look at that, my order says it was placed on 6/2, while my other sub (that has shipped) conveniently says 6/1 when both are the same month's ROTM. WS is still not shipped, CS says it "seems" to be shipping separately from the other ROTMs from this months orders but still nothing as of today while the other orders from this month shipped over a week ago. I sent another email indicating that I better not be in this 2nd pressing some are referencing and they are now not responding.

I've had a continuing subscription for like three years or so, so I def was signed up prior to any cutoff.

Man that blows. They fucked me like that with Outkast. I was a member for years and because a bunch of new people dipped in I was relegated to the second batch. This time is almost worse because they sent out at least 2 emails stating if you signed up prior to whatever the cutoff was that you’d get your album with the first batch but of course they managed to to fuck this up too.

My wife sent an email earlier in the week and so far the only response she’s received was that they are looking into her request and that they haven’t forgotten.
She specifically signed up for the 3 months because of this album. Plus she had a $30 credit. I suspect we’ll be in the 2nd pressing group as well. I really don’t understand how this company remains afloat, but we just want to be done with them.

Yep, mine also says the 2nd, I'm guessing that's the date my swaps closed. So looks like second batch for me too, I figured as much.
