Can’t wait for this to be my last three track month for swaps. I can save money!

Tical

'Tical' calls back to an oft-romanticized period when rockin’ the mic was more than enough, with no filler in sight.

Link routes to Rap instead of the store. Tical confirmed

Any word of Wu-Tang exclusives to accompany Tical?

On reddit, Storf said no ROTM-related exclusives this month, unfortunately.

So, their logistics are geeting funny. I did not order outkast, but received a copy with my shipment that was not listed in the shipping papers.

It sounds to me like they are struggling with staffing issues, or things like this would never happen.

As long as staffing issues includes incompetence. I don't think it is safe to assume they are short staffed considering their past resistance to actually hire experts to work for them.

Tical already showing as sold out... weird https://app.vinylmeplease.com/records_of_the_month

My guess is that since OutKast subscribers are locked in for RHH, it won't become available until people either drop the track or swap out.

So just to add to more of the VMP fuckery, the R&HH is no longer showing up in my account and it says Tical is sold out. I have been subbed to the R&HH since the beginning so its beyond me why I have seemingly been kicked out.

 

[mitchwagz]

Lol and the fuckery continues. Same situation but I was going to possibly swap the classics for Tical but low and behold it is sold out like some have mentioned above. Wouldn’t surprise me if half of you don’t get it til September.

As much as VMP has severely dropped the ball, time and time again, I’m in for Tical and absolutely pumped for it. I have a soft spot for Method Man. He’s great.

It's weird to see all the lukewarm reactions to Tical. To me, it's a top tier Wu album. Worthy of a R&HH ROTM reissue? Hell no.. but still one of the best Wu albums ever.

Absolutely agreed.
If I had a copy already I would hold out on the VMP press,
but I don’t, so I’m all in.

Even though I don't have one and would like one, I'm holding out because good presses are so readily available, and I have other albums that I've been eyeing for a while.

I do wonder why Tical lists as having sold out. I doubt anyone was hyped up for this one. Looks to be another lame package, no mention of any mastering information, which usually means it's just a GZ cut. I'd rather just save the $$$ for an OG press.

 

[Clint Howard]

Not really relevant whatsoever, but I love this song despite it's Batman tie-in.

This would be giving them a lot of credit but, maybe they are trying to "lock" the number of copies available in the system so they can't oversell it? Maybe someone has to swap it before one becomes available?

Also, I was surprised to see the ROTMs up today, I thought they were coming out Thursday.

Interestingly it did show up as "you're getting this" for me, but as sold out when I removed the track and it won't let me re-add it. Not that I'm looking to, but I'm figuring they may be having some hiccups getting this live.

 

[zombie.modernist]

Looking at swamptions, and out of sheer curiosity for those who got the VMP Tha Carter III is the actual lacquer cut by Joe LaPorta, with STERLING in the deadwax, or is it a GZ only job?

I'm wondering if it's a carryover from Outkast, and they just haven't updated the portal. I could be wrong though.
