Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Wondering if there were any issues with the Doors rotm. I’m trying to find something to sign up with to make sure I don’t miss out on Wu Tang.

I've heard/read a lot of people preferring stereo versions to the mono and some complaints about the mix/mastering itself, but don't recall seeing any complaints about the pressing itself.

Guess who else has Side D surface noise

These games suck extra hard knowing mine's still gonna take another 2 weeks, at least, to get here to likely the same result.
In fact, they should arrive the day after my first replacement copy of TMV arrives.

I'm curious if its something in the original mix, a sample that was accentuated by the remaster. For me its a cyclical, identical surface noise signature that disappears as soon as the sample is no longer used. Does that sound about right to other people with Side D noise?

Volta or Outkast?

Deloused arrived today and I'm tossing up whether I should even open the box. Has anyone received a copy that plays like it should?

Like, 3 people I think.

3 people in the entire world. Not just on here. Just to be clear.

Outkast lol

Outkast lol

It's hard to keep track. I look forward to spinning my Outkast GZ disaster in a couple of days.

 

[Mather]

Outkast lol

Actually, I have a question. Is the noise at the end of D or the beginning?

 

[Vinyl&Kicks86]

it's been a headache having to keep contacting them and i'm not a fan of how VMP has treated loyal customers in the past, but i have to give credit when due customer service has been A-1 with helping me resolve my VMP issues.

Awwwwww fuck! Back for the first time since January 20 and it’s looking like 2/2 for dodgy pressings, dreading the MV replacement and OutKast arriving now. What heap of shit will the third and final month of my sub bring

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Got my Mars Volta and Spiritualized replacements today, as well as BGC, though my table's in the shop so I'm not sure when I'll be able to check 'em.

All in their own boxes, too! Very efficient, VMP.

Start of Side D and lasts until the bass kicks on on D1

 

[Ghost]

Also, check out my Abbey Lincoln y’all. Don’t know what happened this month but I’ve never seen more grotesquely bent records

They shipped one of my preorders on July 29th, my replacement TMV on August 5th, my ROTMs on August 6th and my other preorder on August 9th.

I truly don't understand how this improves efficiency OR keeps costs down!

My copy has surface noise on D1 during the spoken word part. It gradually fades away as the track moves on. There is no noise on Spotify during this track. So it's a pressing issue.

Edit: my copy also only has noise in the right channel. So definitely a pressing issue with Outkast.

Side one of Outkast was great... Guess I'm going to skip right to side D? My buddy who I was talking about the Mars Volta shit with did hope they'd find a way to fuck up Outkast....

Piano on that song isn’t a sample, doubt the noise is in the mix. That’s one of my favorite songs ever and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, there’s no noise during that spoken word part.

My copy was delivered today, I’ll try to give it a spin tonight.
