Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

I’m floored at how this keeps happening. Even for a company with a shitty rep.. what the hell is going on here?

Definitely the pressing plant (Gz) being overwhelmed in trying to keep up with demand while letting its QC slide. New records all over are having issues, but I think it happening with an exclusive club where you pay a premium just makes it all the more noticeable.

VMP just handing out replacements and hoping for the best might help a bit short-term, but it's definitely no long-term solution. Unfortunately I don't think there's another pressing plant as big as Gz that can consistently handle VMP's orders (especially for Essentials) so I have no idea what VMP can do. This could be what the start of a bubble bursting actually looks like.
 
First PE had a small scratch over first track. 2nd copy had the right channel crackles at start. Requested a 3rd copy, got this amazing oxymoronic response….

Thanks for reaching out! I am so sorry that you are still experiencing issues with this title. While this does not seem to be a pressing wide issue, we cannot guarantee another replacement would resolve the issue you are experiencing. Would you be willing to accept full store credit for this issue?

Haha!

Clipse vinyl colour was a major let down for me but anything better than the cocaine white vinyl I currently own that sounds like dog shit

Mmmm I totally understand why the colour would be a letdown for you!

I know, the white cocaine pressing does sound like shit! I am thrilled at how great this VMP Hell Hath No Fury pressing will sound in comparison! It’s going to get heaps of spins over Summer once I receive the record! 😎

I wonder if GOD repressed it and it turned out better the 2nd time because I just relistened to my copy early this week and I think it sounds great. I know I purchased my copy after a repress but the way both you and Nathan talk about sounding like dog shit makes me wonder if their first batch was just bunk or something.

Possibly. I definitely got the first run. My favourite hiphop album of the 00s

Still waiting on that and PE to arrive. Sounds like from feedback wu tang has quality issues like atliens and many other GZ pressed vinyl recently? Did you?

Yup sadly got static on both ATLiens and 36 Chambers. I wasn’t able to sub for PE. At this point I am just gonna have to live with it. It’s low enough beneath the mix that as long as I am not listening with headphones it’s tough to pick up on thankfully. The rest of the mastering on both sounds quite good though.

I shall expect more of the same so. I'm sure I'll be ok with it too, I never listen with headphones but someday I'll start and then I'll be pissed 😂
