Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

I certainly don't think it's a malicious intent with the lack of availability, it's just ineptitude.

I think they just struggle with demand projections which is somewhat understandable. This wouldn't be a big deal if the entire vinyl industry wasn't moving at a glacial pace, but unfortunately it is. If the demand for Tical is too low for a repress but a sizable enough number, I bet they would be pissed too, because that would mean they are losing the extra cash bump they get from those new customers enticed by Tical. As far as I understand any recuring revenue based business like VMP, they're constantly trying to engage new customers to get them on the same train we're all riding already. All the ad spend they will do promoting the RHH track is essentially useless since it's already sold out, and they can't solidly gain any more unless they do a repress. This current situation is probably even more stressful for them than the OutKast one, because they can't chalk it up to "crazy demand".

Nah, they don't want to sell 15,000 copies of RHH- they want Tical to end up $70 on discogs and all the current subs to be locked into foMO fear and lock in getting all the releases- so they can show off a pretty little capacity subscription list and healthy waitlist trying to get in to some venture capitalists for a big sell off to get paid and move on.

I don't think VMP is interested in selling as many records as they can. If so they are terrible at it.
