Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Here’s Sprinter by Torres by Murfocakes

I will arise and go now, and buy for 81p,
An album by Torres is there, of warped plastics made;
Nine hundred copies on Discogs site exist there, a Cheap copy waits for me,
And in warehouse we regret too many copies made.

And I shall have some cheap copies there, for sales came dropping slow,
Dropping though predicted Torres would sell more;
And never shall I swap for it for cheap copies I do know,
And certainly never pay full price in dollars, thirty four.
 
I don’t blame VMP for staying silent. These protests may have started peacefully but have gotten increasingly violent. Stores are being burned and looted Cops are being hit with bottles and rocks . At this point it’s only a matter of time before we all witness cops being gunned down on a city street on live TV. At the end of the day they’re just a business and any stance they take will cost them customers.

Being on the right side of justice is more important than customers. And in times as big as this, people remember.

Ha! I can't even give it away as a PIF.
 
Also, I want to quickly add, me and a few friends talked about this issue last night. Protests in Melbourne, Australia on the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd are occurring and I think that was a great thing!

But you know what we all said and thought!?

Aboriginal people in Australia are treated so poorly by the population, let alone police. Police brutality against Aboriginal people are so high and if you’re Aboriginal, you’re nearly 30x more likely to end up in prison. If you are aboriginal and steal, there’s a high chance you will end up in prison. If you are not aboriginal and steal, you will never end up in prison.

A lot of companies profit from Aboriginal art, but they always are trying to help Aboriginal communities! They will always remind us all they we are standing on Aboriginal land and that we must respect the “elders”.

So, that’s also why I feel like VMP can’t stay silent! They benefit so much on Black people’s art’ Like now that this police brutality on black people is the topic which is at the forefront on the news and is becoming revolutionary, VMP need to speak up! They need to be a role model to all the thousands of subscribers they have and touch people’s hearts!

Wait, this is about VMP not saying anything on the current situation? AFAIK 99% of companies haven't said anything.

But VMP benefit so much from Black people’s art! This is why it’s outrageous they are staying silent! They need to show how caring they are, and give back! Imagine how happy so much Americans would be if VMP didn’t stay silent on this! Look at Bratz, how proud so many people would be with their statement!

It’s just wild what’s going on but I have this glimpse of hope changes will actually occur in the police force and positive changes will follow in relation to police brutality/black lives. So we need the push. And some of us are just expressing the frustration!

@Kyuuji - I’m so happy and proud you emailed VMP about this and asked if they are releasing a statement/acting upon the situation! 👏👏👏

Justice ? There are “woke” white people out here throwing bottles and rocks at black and Latino females but it’s okay because they’re wearing a police uniform. this level of violence on both sides is unacceptable.
