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

VMP just dropped a variant for Cowboy Bebop later than everyone else, and are charging substantially more with 3 times the pressing quantity of a shop like Newbury

So weird that they’re so late with this and at a 1,500 pressing it’s not gonna sell out for a long time. The color variant is... OK. I think Mondo and even the record label’s own variant is better, though.
 
Weird that they are doing variants on the Chet Baker reissues that are in the Box from last year already. I have the box. They are great but way too expensive (like VMP, who seems to think that they are now an colored vinyl audiophile label). Black available for all of these.
 
is the Chet Baker It could happen stereo or mono? I got the RSD mono version last year but trying to figure out if this is essentially the same release? I can't remember if the RSD was a mono exclusive or a RSD first.

You can buy these in black and get a Riverside t-shirt directly from Craft Recordings for less than VMP's asking price.

EDIT: For those in the US, you can get both of these in standard black and Craft's pressing of "Chet" for just $5 more including shipping using the code CIRCULAR15.

I like VMPs alot better than the other variants. Plus I had the splatter pre-ordered through bullmoose that I can just cancel and it was only a couple bucks cheaper than VMP.

I also don't really like or care about much Anime so didnt go crazy to find an exclusive of this. I just like what Ive heard of this soundtrack alot (But am planning to watch the show before it arrives)

I wouldn’t call myself an anime fan but it’s one of my favourite shows of all time, you’re in for a treat

But if you're international the shipping is about $12 a record and then you'll get done for customs too. VMP is at least $6 less.

Still pricey. Think its about £29 a record at current exchange rates although that's Tone Poet prices so same pressing plant and same engineer.... possibly not too out there after all

One of the best shows I've ever seen, anime or otherwise. Just a well written show with solidly built characters. And the soundtrack is fantastic!

Looking back, I ordered it from LITA, and it came out to $40 with shipping-- so I guess this is competitively priced if you factor in the cheaper shipping. I'd rather give LITA my money than VMP though.
 
I definitely prefer Chet Baker’s “It Could Happen To You” moreso than his live album “Chet Baker In New York”! Which album do you prefer @Selaws? 🤔

Also, I’m so happy these Chet Baker reissues that Craft Recordings did are AAA and mastered at Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio! And the fact that these two exclusives are 180g and pressed at RTI on top means these will sound superb!!! 😍😍😍

yeah Ive been meaning to check it out for awhile and this is finally my excuse. I love attack on titan and the original ghost in the shell movie, and watched a good amount of DBZ as a kid (like most guys in my age group) But thats where my anime knowledge stops.

Im with you and prefer It Could Happen To You.

I was considering getting the box set for a while, but not overly keen on paying a premium on a couple of the titles. I might end up getting these to be fair, I believe the Prestige series was craft and they are fantastic. Still pricy but the free international shipping makes it comparable (slightly cheaper in some cases) to the standard release. Arghhh decisions!!

Good point. I’d be interested to see how VMP is affected by free international shipping and if it has any relation to the recent price hike. I feel like that can’t be inexpensive for VMP to maintain.
