2 real quick things and I will be out of your hair forever
1 Nathan you are awesome, you stay positive You’re a super cool dude hit me up if you need anything .

2. Dead C I was in no means attempting to censor anyone to any of whatever you were trying to say . I’m not watching this on TV , my neighborhood is decimated . All the stores are vandalized and boarded up . every mailbox and atm has been blown up . Bombs are going off all night Gunfire constantly as well as fire engines, police sirens and helicopters . men with guns are crouched on our rooftops looking to take out looters. I simply was weary of all of it and spend a couple of minutes looking at my record club and try to have some semblance of normalcy . I’m sorry I made you think I was trying to silence people’s voices. I was a bit cranky I haven’t slept much with the nonstop bedlam .
I’m certainly not a white supremacist and I didn’t want to go with that nonsense hanging over my head. No need to respond I won’t be reading it anyway. Stay safe out there everyone.

Damn...stay safe. These are scary times. Bunker down, or get out of town for a while if you can, but stay safe. May you be blessed with layers of protective mojo at thus time.

Change doesn't come easy. I would suggest you keep engaging with us. You have a perspective that needs to be part of this discussion.

Yes. @cul8er had been spinning it about a week ago in the What's spinning thread. Weirdly, it wasn't red glow in the dark as advertised, but green.

I don’t think that was the VMP variant! 😂

I think I saw someone spin it on Reddit and it is actually glow in the dark 💡 and is red 🔴 too! Not sure about sound quality though, as glow in the dark variants don’t have a good reputation at all when it comes to that! ⚠️

I had asked @cul8er if it was the VMP version as I was thinking about buying it, but was worried about a possible bad sound quality of the Glow-in-the-dark. Also I hadn't seen such a color on discogs at all. It was indeed the record received from VMP. Sound quality shall be quite good.
It's interesting red ones exist too. Maybe they did both colors? Or possibly the red one🍷 looks green 🍵 when glowing/ under light? 👀

Mmmmmm that’s so weird! 🥴 Maybe he did get the wrong colour or maybe the glow in the dark effect does give a green look even if it’s a red variant! 🧐 Interesting!!! 👁

Ha Ha, yeah, I'm the one that made the discogs entry! ;)

I am curious if anyone does have the red color. If I look closely enough, there is a very faint red whisp in the record. Maybe just one tiny pellet of red was dropped in the press 🤷‍♂️. I'm not too upset about it, but the red would be nice.

I did send an email to vmp telling them about the color. I also said I didn't need anything for it. They basically replied "sorry about that."

I'm spinning it again right now, and it plays clean. Admittingly, it is difficult for me to tell if there is any sound distortion because a) I'm an old that has been to many shows so my ears ain't quite that great, and b) Hanni El Khatib's sound is inherently grunge/garage/punk rock so any distortion from the record may actually be his intent. In any case, I am enjoying this record!

Cheers!

Been waiting since the 26th about the whole "charged a month early" thing - no dice.
Been waiting since the 31st with a response from CS to get refunded the third and final month of my sub that I had to cancel so I wouldn't get fucked over - you guessed it! No dice.

Who is even running this service anymore? Because I'm convinced they just twiddle their thumbs and hope people like me go away so they don't have to be reminded that the company they work for doesn't have a single clue about how inept their model and service is. And I can certainly tell you getting automated emails telling me they "haven't forgotten about me" is definitely making me more frustrated. I hate to be that guy but this is getting to be ridiculous.

you're not that guy, don't worry. these guys suck.

i emailed them this friday asking why they haven't shipped my order from 4/25 to me and why they haven't responded to any of my messages that i've sent over the last 6 weeks. i indicated i'd just like a refund if they didn't actually plan on sending them to me, and this is the response i got:

Hey there,

Sure thing! I canceled that order and pushed a refund to your original payment method. Please allow 72 hours for the refund to appear on your statement, and don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything we can help with moving forward.

i think that's about the final straw for me. they can go to hell.
 
By the way, did the swapping to store credits work correctly for everyone who wanted to try? How much credit did you receive, especially the Internationals who did this? Did it appear right after swaps had closed?

I haven't tried it the last month, just wondering if that has worked out smoothly.
