Vinyl Me Please Essentials

That's great, I'm glad you like it! This was one of a couple albums in high school that I was absolutely obsessed with.

It’s actually quite a groovy, atmospheric album that has catchy melodies! I love De-Loused in the Comatorium! The album sounds amazing loud too!

Haha, totally agreed!

I have two DITC replacement copies on the way. I am also not optimistic. We'll soon see!

Volta replacement is here and yes obviously it's the same loud crackle issue. Email and video sent. I asked if they're doing a repress and suggested that it's really the only thing they can do to fix this. We'll see.

Did you send them some microscopic evidence to support your claim?

Due to this known widespread pressing issue with Mars Volta, VMP customer service has requested brief emails explaining the problem along with video evidence in order to expedite the replacement process. A simple two-word sentence should be adequate to obtain a new copy.

Being told there is a October repress coming for Volta. Affected members will be sent a copy, I don't know whether you'll need to email to get on the list or not. I'm sure they'll send out an email when it's finalized.

Looks like my copy of TMV is out for delivery today. I'm sure looking forward to listening to the copy of Ask The Ages that's boxed with it, at least!

Place your bets folks on what is f'ed up on the repress. 100:1 odds that record is pressed at a haunted pressing plant and you all receive a poltergeist in the mail, and it goes down to 1:1 more crackle but different location.

Also, it’s an October repress meaning everyone should have their replacements by Arbor Day 2022.

This is what "Elli" has informed me of as well. Willing to bet we end up with a totally different color so we get a Fraken-package of a final product.

Repress coming in Oct. Here is the email I got from VMP today.

Ask the Ages is so fucking good, you've got some good stuff coming to your turntable, regardless of how TMV turns out.

Wait, so you get a replacement PLUS one of those titles?
I mean, a lot of shit there, but if I didn't have both (non VMP) and ordered I'd be all over a free copy of Gorillaz or QOTSA.

I didn't even finish looking at the options when I saw it show up in swaps. Despite De-Loused being one of my top 5 dream ROTMs since I joined VMP I got even more excited for Ask The Ages before TMV ended up being a shitshow.

This, was not exactly clear. But I do know in the past they've given refunds and then also sent repress's to affected members. Although I'm not certain if this was by design or just they lost track.

Seems like by the wording they get the repress regardless PLUS refund or another album. Either way I'm really going to enjoy 2022's membership fees of $60USD.

 

[bdrummond]

Looking at that list and given what I have already I'd definitely take the money and sink it into two albums of my choosing elsewhere.

 

[avecigrec]

My package came on my way out the door so I rushed upstairs to quickly check my TMV. It is unsurprisingly fucked. Not as bad as some of the videos I've seen, but also not good enough for the price we've paid. Guess I'm making a video when I get home...

 

[4080]

I'm going to go ahead with the refund, nothing on that list really appeals to me and this will cover my add on this month!

Edit: I'm a little confused, it's not the cost of my sub it's the cost of the record I'm getting refunded!? Sounds like the cost of the record!
