Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Thanks but I'll take my chances. They assured me there's no chance of it selling out in the next couple of weeks. I should have said Damn, that's going to make it hard to flip the extra copy that I'm getting for free.

Wonder if they did a larger than normal pressing and the number of subscribers didn't materialize? I would have thought this would be an instant sell out.

I thought so too but I suspect what happened was all the MV freaks splurged on the box set and single albums pre orders. So when this one was finally announced later only the DIE HARD fans ordered it as well. So you're left with seriously depleted sales. I mean this is only showing like 2800 people as having it on cogs and only like 130 on their want list. That's a really small number for an essentials run.

That is pretty shocking for a band like this that everyone supposedly was hoping for VMP to do a pressing of

Ugh, VMP won't send me a replacement until I send a video. That could be a couple of weeks from now until I can make a video. I should have expected VMP would be so picky about replacements and done it before I disconnected everything.

Have someone else on here forward you a copy of there shittily pressed album. VMP won’t know the difference.
 
I watched my defective copy closely and I'm convinced I hear the static when the needle travels over the darker streaks. You don't notice it as much when the music gets louder. This would explain why there are some reports of decent disks. If they have light or no streaks on the quiet spots = no noise. I've sort of noticed it in some videos, too. I think it's an issue for the whole run.

Careful, @Mather might have to get out his microscope.
 
Not getting Beverly Glenn-Copeland.. I do like the album but it felt like I was TRYING to like it enough. Mostly because I appreciate the first ever trans artist to be the ROTM (if one artist they've chosen before turned out to be trans I retract that achievement but still impressive), especially a black trans man who is never talked about. But the music is very dreamy but not really something I'll listen to

I'm not sure. I re-watched the video I sent to VMP and it looks like my copy has the noise in the "no streaks" areas.

Received my replacement of Mars Volta. Same noise issue on multiple sides. Bummer.


Edit: talked to VMP customer service. They offered to send me a 3rd copy, but I declined. They provided $40 store credit instead. So, no complaints about their customer service, I suppose.

CS is and has always been amazing. You can also ask them to apply the credit to your subscription costs if you'd like
