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

[Joe Mac]

Yeah, it’s definitely not worth it for you! Much better spending that money on an Analogue Productions or MoFi release too with those prices! USD$50+ for a record really is expensive, especially if it’s not pressed at QRP, RTI or Pallas and hasn’t been mastered by one of the top music engineers and have new lacquers cut etc!

Honestly new releases and reissues have overtaken me this year without going to the audiophile producers! It’s been a great year for music. I’m looking forward to the slew of new releases beginning to slow down now!

VMP says we’re stuck with them for those Jazz Dispensary titles:

Don't care, prices are still insane don't do it.

Don't care, prices are still insane don't do it.

Also, they haven’t always been the most “accurate” with their info... I still think they will eventually be released in a standard edition.

Yep I’m still not going to give in to these fucks

well what's the option, they're not exactly going to want to post "don't buy from us, wait until next year when the contract is up and they get pressed in black for half-price"

Yeah I'm still very convinced we'll see these come out on black in 6 months.

Just had an email to say that VMP are having their Black Friday sale early. Not a whole lot in there but might be something someone likes.

P.S. Someone please order the Cecil Taylor and put it out of its misery, that things seen more sales than I have had hot dinners!

Quite a “sale” for sure....bunch of crap that’s still overpriced

The sale is now official, with the titles thrown into a "Surprise Black Friday" sales page:

A couple of previously sold-out exclusives are back. And hey, Ivy Sole's Live album is down to $22, as I predicted it would be. It's a great performance y'all, 22 bucks is a good price for it.

There is some shady pricing in this “sale”.

It's very random. Some prices are like, literally just a dollar off their "normal" price while others are down to $17 - $22. Like I said the other day, I grabbed Da Brat for $20 which is comparable/better than what it goes for on discogs. A few others like Jorge Ben and Experience Unlimited are at good prices as well too, if you haven't grabbed those yet.

For me, the only other thing in that list I'm still looking to pick up is Bitte Orca, and the $31 sale price isn't doing it, especially when I know I could've gotten it as a $23 swaption a few months ago. That's one I'll probably have to eventually get on discogs.

I wonder about the Erroll Garner Classics record. Did they think it was going to be some jazzbo holy grail so the printed a high run or was it that everyone jumped Classics that month (like I did)?

Plus wasn't Roots like $40 for several months? Now its 'regular' price is $47

Reverse “Black Friday” rules obviously...duh

Probably the latter, which is a shame because it’s one of my favorite Classics this year.

I can get John Mayer for a little over my old monthly Essentials rate? Well sign me up!

Remember when you could get VMP Exclusives for like 15$ on a Black Friday sale? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

 

[GentleSenator]

folks here are obviously not the target audience for this "sale".

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Funny they are getting roasted on their socials for this joke of a sale. Half are complaining that they have raised the prices of items before putting them on sale and the other half are saying the checkout is charging them the higher price, not sale price.

Seriously, it has been a year and they still don't seem to know how to work or configure this "new" software.
