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

I'm all for an entirely chaotic, all encompassing VMP thread. A bit of carnage is good for the soul. Plus all the existing ones are a bit repetitive and mainly made up of either;

(a) exasperated current customers praying for the next record to be flat and pop free

(b) former customers telling (a) that the grass is greener and

Is anybody else still waiting for their copy of Just Coolin to ship?? I'm starting to get a little nervous that a refund email will be coming my way saying they do not have any left in stock.

Yeah Im still waiting. Im assuming it will be grouped into my monthly bundle like it’s supposed to be, even if many lucky people got it earlier.

I hate this about their inventory management. I'll be getting a replacement copy before many like you even get their first copy shipped. It sucks, everyone that ordered it should have it shipped promptly. I've been on the waiting side many times while some people have received not one, but two replacements even before I get my first one!
Anyway, I hope your copies ship and arrived safely. Cheers.
 
Did anybody receive Freddie Gibbs yet? I think it's my last remaining VMP record and it has said "in stock" seemingly for months...i know that doesn't really mean anything but...
 
Are we expecting the "Swap for Store Credit" to be applied today with yesterday being a Sunday? I believe it normally is the 2nd of the month when they apply it to your account, no?

EDIT: Ugh, I need to read - second BUSINESS DAY of the month. I guess that is a no on today then. ;)

It's now over a month since I ordered Idler Wheel. I thought VMP shipped no later than the 15th of each month for member orders?
Mine was placed just before I ended my membership. I feel like they are punishing me. Technically they have until tomorrow the 26th (7 business days from 10/15) but I am not holding my breath. It also means I probably won't get it until November. Such a load of shit from a once-good company. They better not sticky pudding this order up!

Hi Dave,

This order has been released and is in the process of being packed and prepared for shipment. This should ship in the next 1 - 7 business days and you'll receive tracking information once it leaves the warehouse.

Let us know if you need anything else

11/2 and still no activity on my order from late September. Fuck these clowns once I get the albums.
 
The release descriptions continue to be awful...

"Recorded in between periods of tumult and distress--he was in and out of jail with a bear of a heroin addiction--Gordon is one of the finest men to ever put a reed in his mouth, and this album--particularly "Autumn in New York"--belongs in every discerning Jazzbo's collection."

What's the consensus on these? There's no mention of source so I'm guessing they're all digitial? I'm tempted...

Same here but I want to know source. Pricing and no mention of it has me skeptical..

This is kind of where I'm at. Checking discogs, it seems as though the Booker album had a reissue in 2013 "from analog tapes" but that doesn't always mean AAA. There's no mention of a new remaster or something so I'm guessing they're using the same metal? Looks like the Dexter had a remaster/pressing in 2013 as well, so I have to guess these are the same.
