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

I contacted VMP yesterday about my McCoy Tyner not having shipped yet, but I'm posting their response here because I'm guessing it affects more than just Classics -

"We're dealing with a glitch in our system that caused some orders to be overlooked. We're having our tech team look into this and they're working hard to fix this issue and get those orders sent out. You should receive a shipping email by next week."

Oh cool, you mean the same glitch that happened to me two months ago is happening again? Thank God I can now rest assured it will never happen again. :rolleyes:

Just got the same message, initially asked about Fantasma a week ago before they announced it was delayed. On the bright side...maybe I'll get Fantasma, Sahara, FTBC and BVSC in one box? A man can dream...

TRNTBL - the first wireless record player

TRNTBL is the first wireless vinyl record player connecting to Sonos with an exclusive Spotify playlist creator. Made by hand and assembled in the USA.

I don't even know where to post this. Is this real?? Is April Fools in November a thing I don't know about?

So what happened to this?
Edit: seems the link is redirecting to trntbl now. It was this advertised thing where you could spend 5g and were promised the 200 most wanted records from the 2010s from discogs. I can't find any traces of that anymore

What are the odds of the Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, or John Lee Hooker VMP pressings being available in swaps tomorrow?

Seems like the only things available are records I have absolutely no interest in, or are from artists I've never heard of.

Al Green and John Lee Hooker are probably zero, I imagine they’d give people a heads up like last time if they repressed those titles. Might be a couple Otis’ left over from a mysterious lost warehouse box as for Aretha I know it’s been dangerously close to selling out the past couple months. Think there were less then 50 copies remaining in June, so who knows?

I'm gonna call em jump-backs.

In sales descriptions of flaws, I see them called "repeating skips" - never locked grooves.

Locked grooves are normally intentional by design, like this:

Lee ∞ Ranaldo - From Here To Infinity

"Each track (except B5) terminates in a locked groove."

I have been longing for a reissue of this for quite some time now.
 
@agutierrezb posted over on the Jazz Thread about rumours that the Palo Alto Thelonious Monk has been delayed. I have just sleuthed through the Steve Hoffman forum and there's reports that its been delayed indefinitely. I really hope this is incorrect, although Universal Music has confirmed there is a delay and the teaser track has been removed from a few streaming sites......

Edit: Amazon pre-orders have had a status change to 'unavailable'.
Edit: Jean Claude from 'If Music' has confirmed its delay and that he hasn't been given a new date yet.
Edit: Jean Claude suspects it could be a licencing issue over manufacture issue.

Omg, I really hope it’s just delayed and that the Thelonius Monk does get released later this year or at least next year! 🤞

Is there anything special to be expected in swaps today? Any represses or previously sold out exclusives? Any hints from VMP?

Nope. Just another swap day. There will probably be one or two things people might not expect but there have been no hints and VMP seems to be against the HUGE surprises things lately since it has caused them more trouble than its worth.
