What would you do with a new CEO?

This feels like a move made in conjunction with a sale of shares and they bring in new investors. New investors want someone else to run the day to day and have more impact on the business. Old ceo doesn't want to leave so they go to the board. Ceos of successful companies don't get replaced or moved to the board for no reason.

Smaller companies sometimes do. The CEO of my wifes company just wasnt interested in the day to day anymore once the company was successful. He left his CEO position, went to board, and focused on other ventures. My companys owner also did something very similar.
VMP isnt that big and I doubt they have this intense board or investors to satisfy with big change, especially if their profits really have grown this year (as the article saids). It really could just be Fielder wanting to step back and focus elsewhere.
But who knows, all we can do is speculate.
I have nothing against Matt like some do, but Cam always seemed like a real cool dude from the old forum so good for him. Hopefully its a sign of good things to come.

Good point. I was speaking from experience as well, but it's probably not very applicable because my industry is different.
I agree with you about both of them too. Cam always seemed awesome.

I just remember Cam as the guy who used to seem a nice host but ended up kicking us out without even saying goodbye. Fiedler at least gave us that what would you do with more time nonsense; Cam was nowhere to be seen those last days.

Wasn't Cam the dude who told Lee to fuck off or something that one insane Friday night?

Only 38 copies left of the Yussef Dayes now! It’s not gonna last by the end of this week, and this VMP variant is the cheapest way to get this live album on vinyl!
I didn’t think this exclusive was going to go as quick because it’s USD$45, but I guess Yussef has a strong fanbase and the variant looks cool/is the cheapest one out there. I guess the fact that it’s 180g and gatefold is a small bonus. But it’s definitely pricey for a 2xLP GZ pressing!!!
Still I cannot wait to receive this exclusive and spin it! It’s gonna be total vibes during warm nights!

I spend too much money on vinyl already, if it was a QRP AAA ok, but I have to draw the line at $45 for a standard GZ pressing out of principle. If they all start charging that much it will probably be good for me as I will just not buy as much vinyl

Yeah, it’s very expensive for that quality! It’s only worth it if it’s an album I really love! Because the VMP option is the cheapest, there’s no choice really, but I think this Yussef Dayes package will be really nice (the gatefold jacket especially).I spend too much money on vinyl already, if it was a QRP AAA ok, but I have to draw the line at $45 for a standard GZ pressing out of principle.

The Avalanches VMP exclusive is also very expensive, but so is the indie exclusive/standard pressing for We Will Always Love You, so I guess the VMP price, whilst expensive, is understandable.
The FlySiifu VMP exclusive was a 2xLP, 180g coloured edition and was only USD$27. So it’s interesting to see the difference in costs between particular exclusives!
I mean, it’s worth remembering that VMP is still their job (and a dream job at that). With the exception of Fielder, I wouldnt want to risk getting involved that day and saying something I shouldnt either. If I remember correctly the only other one on that day was Paulie (which makes sense since hes CS).

He was the one I think who wrote a piece about the album he “found” flicking through images on Discogs...

Ugh, I want this, but I'm with @Andy here. No way I can shell out that much money without a guarantee that this is an absolutely stellar pressing - which is certainly not guaranteed with these details. I love this album, so this sucks really bad, but I'll hold out hope for a more reasonable standard black pressing in the future. These VMP price increases have put me in a few shitty situations like this. I used to buy 2 exclusives a month on average before the increases. Now it's zero. This is the first time in as long as I can remember I have nothing in my orders queue.

I used the $15 credit, and ended up getting this for $30 which seems like a fair price. The pricing on this is ridiculous, but it does seem like it's the cheapest option, and it's just so brilliant.
Thanks for thinking of me @NathanRicaud ! You're the man!
Yeah, Cam is personable, but he's a liar. He says whatever is expedient at a given moment. He even lied to moderators about who had been given warnings on the forum.
