Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Kyuuji]

Have a query related to the above, as I'd love Cudi. If my sub says:
"Your next payment of $279 (+tax) will occur on 03/31/21"

Does that mean it runs out on Cudi or I'll get Cudi before it runs out?

Hoping they haven't done me dirty by placing the one I care about the most afterwards, as wasn't planning on going again after this "same price deal" was over lol.

Room on Fire is the only one I'd be interested in getting but we all know the variant will NOT look anything like the mock-up!

Cudi would be your final month, no? April will be your renewed sub?

“Our reissue of John Prine as was pressed all-analog (AAA) with lacquers cut from the original analog tapes by Ryan Smith, Sterling Sound”

Anyone have the deers for the 2020 issue to compare.

That's what I'm hoping for. Thought it worth checking as couldn't recall if it was that I'd need to make the payment on the 31st for them to be shipped, or whether you pay ahead for the upcoming month. Add-ons and how you add one and get charged before it ships have me twisted, and been long enough since I started to where I can't recall which way round it is haha.

AAA Kevin Gray pressed at RTI. Same as 2017.

Edit: Sorry, pressed from same plates as 2017 but at RI.

its PLATED at QRP but pressed at Gz.. the new standard for VMP

the 2020 press is kevin grey flat from the master tape and pressed at record industry

 

[duke86fan]

AAA Kevin Gray pressed at RTI.

John Prine - John Prine am i reading this wrong?

 

[Ethos99]

So they used a new laquer cut from last year?

What am I missing here? Seems very soon to do it again.

 

[ByersVinyl]

Dont actually know Prine, but lot of love on here so will try on Spotify and if I like pick up the recent issue for £20.

Oh, my bad, they must have used the RTI plates.

I have the 2017. Didn’t know it was the same cut.

I guess this wasn't done in coordination with Rhino, so they are under no obligation to give their plates.

Edit: Hmm, but maybe Warner owns Rhino? So I dunno.

 

[keylime_5]

Pressed at Record Industry, not RTI

Same cut/plates but as has been brought to my attention, it seems yours was pressed at a generally preferable plant.

 

[Ethos99]

Ok so Rhino is Warner, Atlantic is Warner, VMP worked with Warner or at least paid them to do a pressing... Why would Warner want/make them to re-cut the lacquer as well?

edit: Wait your saying they are using old plates? I guess i understand that now.

Yeah, good point. No idea! Might be as simple as them running out of plates, which would be surprising considering how those releases seemed more limited than normal. Or, maybe VMP just wants to be able to call it a new cut.

 

[Ethos99]

The 2017 was a Rhino as well.

This thread has got really confusing.

As far as I know the 2017 & 2020 Rhino releases used the same KG mastering, the 2017 pressed at RTI & the 2020 RI

The VMP appears to be a brand new mastering by Ryan Smith, plated at QRP & pressed at GZ.

is that correct?

I have the 2020 KG Rhino release, but I'm tempted to get the VMP version to see what Ryan sterling does with it. If the pressing is poor I'm sure VMP will replace it
