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

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.

I tried it and worked for me. My main sub is Classics which I wanted to keep, so I swapped RHH for Classics then swapped my Classics for credit which for an international user was $36. Credit was received the day after swaps closed (as I believe they mentioned as well) so everything was pretty smooth. If you swap an add on track I think you would only get $23 which seems like a useless option since you may as well cancel the add on.

Swapped an add on track. They charged on June 1st, taxes too, $24.60 USD. Full amount showed as a credit on the 3rd. I haven't bought anything with it, yet.

You're probably right it being kinda useless. My idea was it basically kept my place in line for next month. So if next month is insanely popular, I wouldn't need to worry about adding the track.

The annoying thing with VMP is that they allow all these random loopholes. You probably could’ve done the same thing as me and swap your add on track to your main track’s album and then swap the main track for credit, which should’ve been more than the add on track credit. Main reason I did it is because I wanted to swap for the Shabaka album which wasn’t in the swap list, so for $3 bucks more I did that with the swap credit, so I dont feel bad for taking advantage of it.

You are definitely smarter than I was to figure that out! I'll have to try that next time. Cheers!

I might have to try that next month if they don't put Shabaka in swaps again. Although I'm on a yearly sub, so what would my credit total amount to?

I just got $23 for swapping my extra sub. Not worth it to me as I could have just spent the amount directly on whatever I wanted to get in the store.

Not doing that again unless I want to swap my main sub.

Yeah, that would have been worth it. I should have thought of that. Maybe I try that next time. Should just be automatic though, because as is, swapping a side-sub for credit is pointless.

I've messaged them Tuesday about surface sound on Queen Latifah and the print problem on the back cover of Donald Byrd "Fancy free" and have no response yet. It's very strange indeed. I want to love them, but sometimes they make it very hard. There seems to be a strong inconsistency in CS.

The fuck is this description?

"You already know what this is, and have by now already clicked to purchase this particular variant of this quite good LP. So I'm going to use this space to talk about Alfredo sauce: Not a fan! It's like not garlicky enough, and it doesn't smell good! What's the deal with the smell? It's like warm milk, and poured over noodles! Not a fan! But, I think I speak for all of us at VMP HQ when I say we are a pro-fettuccini company. Elite noodle, just with a bad partner sauce. Anyways, have a good one. "

I would bet it the same press as the one from the 50th anniversary Boxset. But yea, it’s a new drop for VMP today.
You can get a 7LP CCR half speed remaster Boxset for $195 bucks....

Its the same kind of nonsense as a lot of the R&HH liner notes on the j-card. I don't even read them anymore because it reads as if its a encryption puzzle.
