I'm very hyped for it, but I've had my preorder in since Colemine's was announced.

Y'know, I looked over on their site and yeah, the color variant better matches the artwork and it's a little cheaper even with shipping included. Plus it'll probably ship at least a month before VMP's.

Ok, I'm sold, Colemine it is.

Edit: Hope Colemine's is also a tip-on like VMP. It kind of lends to the retro-authenticity an album like this is shooting for.

I've begun to wean myself off VMP as once my sub expires next June I doubt I'll re-up. Both this and the recent Roland Haynes exclusive are two cases where I went with a (cheaper) alternative where in the past I probably would have stuck with VMP. Feels good man.

It's liberating, no doubt....and honestly, the contrast of the experience ordering from a variety of other retailers only accentuates the many ways in which VMP fails to put the customer first, and fails in general.

I went for it. It cost £20 which is decent really and sounds like a really fun album, sure to get quite a few plays.

Oh I agree, sometimes it's a nice relief to reach for an album that you don't need to spend an hour listening to!

LMAO. Just got a shipping notice for Just Coolin'. Guess they got some customer feedback about waiting until November's RotM on that. LOL.

It's not like they actually bundle shit anyway. I've already received 3 separate shipments this month with another on the way. If they send me Blakey, that would make 5.

I asked CS and their response was that only people that didnt use the Free Member Shipping option were getting their copies quicker. Not sure how accurate that is, but I was unable to move up my shipping timeframe. Mid-November it is...

Sorry to hear that. It seems the only thing consistent about VMP Customer Service is that it's inconsistent.
 
Since others are seeing some inconsistencies with Just Coolin' shipping, here's my chain of events -

1) Open a CS ticket when my Classics ships but none of the Exclusives that are showing as in stock ship with it. Elli in CS tells me that this month's snafu was a "bundling error" (i guess another coding debacle in response to September's 'ship each in its own box' problem) and that my remaining Exclusives would ship in the next week
2) I respond to the email about Coolin' being shipped in November, saying that since I'm still expecting another shipment this month, please include it with those. Elli responds, telling me that she's marked it for release to ship now
3) I receive a shipping notice for Coolin' shortly after that, but nothing else. Elli has yet to respond to my follow-up.

And it was Elli that told me it wasn't being sent out for me. Just gotta shake your head at things sometimes.
 
Honestly I was hoping to get my Just Coolin when they ship my Idles and Alfredo. That’s a really great box for me . I’m way more excited for those to get here then the next two months of AOTMS
 
Welp and shit, against my better judgement just signed up for the full year $25/month bridge deal. It's been what I've paid since 2015 but I definitely will never do another add-on since jacked it up to $33. I'm in it mainly for the Classics track because of how great the quality is and I dig the next few releases. Honestly not a fan of the previewed Essentials or RHH (POTS & Holiday are okay) but hopefully there will be some solid swap outs in the future.

Of course, after being told that I was not going to get Coolin' early, guess who got a shipping notice this morning? The left hand has no idea what the right is doing, but hey, I get my record "early"...
