2000 on Sonny Sharrock? That seems high..
 
Have to admit, VMP have really been on these Jazz releases lately.

Also, I literally just got the email as I was writing this so it looks like its delayed for some people.

this record is awesome, but 2000? I mean I'd get that if it was the Black Woman LP, but that is a lot ...wow

Completely worth it though, one of the best, not only free jazz guitarists, but guitarists period...

This also was reissued I think a year or two ago, went pretty quick if I remember, so not sure why 2k for this..
 
I want to jump on that "deal" but have no interest in the essential and already have a copy of the Prince Paul that I'm happy with. I've sent an email to the blackhole that is VMP CS to see if I have to choose from just those 2 anyone have experience from the last sale?
 
Highly recommend this album!

Don't waste your time with that vmp Sonny Sharrock. My 2LP 45 rpm from hive is fantastic. Still easily available I believe.
At least in the US, that version goes from $60-80 so I mean, that is a tough ask for some to pull a trigger, even for those into free jazz/avant etc. 35-ish seems more reasonable, but I agree 45 RPM would prob be the better version
 
sonny sharrock was not a name i expected to see pop up from vmp today.

and yes, a third recommendation to seek out the 2x45 released on hive mind a couple years ago. doesn't seem as readily available anymore, but if you're avoiding vmp, there is another option.

Last time you could start with any prior ROTM ... I started mine with Caroline Rose, which was a couple of months old at that point.

You had to go through the archive and choose "Start my subscription with this album". I'm not sure how it works this time.
 
I know Spotify plays don’t mean too much, but a pressing of 2,000 for artist with only 17k monthly plays seems excessively high.
 
Yup. Got the same exact email so it must be a form letter. I replied that I still wanted a partial refund unless they're going to be pressing new copies that look like the mock up
Update on High Violet color...

They're working on it....

😐

I ordered it too and it sound fine but it looks absolutely nothing like the mockup. So you all reached out to them about this? I figured it is VMP so I'd just take my losses unless they want to give me a credit.
 
I’ve been screwed over several times by VMP and swore not to give them my business beyond my subscription to Classics and the occasional add on track.

But I really want this Sonny Sharrock record. Do I give in? Or do I stand my ground?

To be fair it may be safe to say that many (including myself) listen to Sonny Sharrock pretty much on some sort of physical media and not really streaming. Especially due to the fact that much of his stuff is physical only. As I said, 2k is way too much, but I think if that reissue didn't already come out and/or this was his early releases (such as the one on BYG/Actuel, or Black Woman) 2k may seem to make a bit more sense

Didn't realize that, I would recommend ordering from a UK shop. It should be much cheaper even with the shipping.

Yeah I did. I’ve seen some swings and misses on mock ups before but this one was so bad it deserved an email.
