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

Two years ago I would’ve been all over that Grace exclusive, even though I own a nice sounding copy. But that price, eek.

But I may jump if they ever do get another Fiona.

Grace is an all-time favorite of mine, I have the 2010 release. I would probably grab this at $27 or $28. My copy sounds decent and I'm guessing it's probably the exact same master.

No they’re a joke but they didn’t hurt me. Never say never if the right album comes up, it won’t though, they’re so full of shit...

Phew!!! Normal service resumed with you @Joe Mac , you are a man of principle without a doubt. If Songs For The Deaf is out i’ll rejoin too. But first there’s a little matter of getting a few more Dylan records.

Haha! I’ve spent the week sorting out my digital library onto my roon server I set up. Only got up to H after 4 nights 😲. My Dylan collection was approaching 200GB...

I think @Mather confirmed it was iirc. The 7" is new. Not a big sell for me personally though.

Yes, and as much as I'm deeply uneasy at the "hallelujah blue", I've been looking for a good pressing of this for a while. And in Canada with taxes that same standard 2010 KG pressing would run me about $32, or more. And I can't afford the 2LP 45 ORG Grundman. So for about $40 CAD with the 7" I'm gunna grab this. If I lived in the States and could get that 2010 for $18 all in I wouldn't have grabbed the VMP... because it is overpriced.

Is that due to bootlegs or have you them recorded in flac?

The flac CD rips are the lowest quality on there...

I have SACD rips of all the ones that came out on that format so converted them all as DSD files. Approx 2GB an album...

And I have all the studio, all the live and all the bootleg series (and as they’re digital that’s the full 6+ CD versions...)

Very impressive. I have them all ripped too my young padwan. You are strong in the ways of the force and will make a great Jedi master.

I picked it up for the exact same reason. It came up to $42.96 so I can live with that.

This is the info provided from VMP regarding mastering:
"The bonus 7” was mastered at Battery Studios by Vic Anesini. The 12” record is the same audio as Sony has been using for their catalog version. It wasn’t remastered specifically for this VMP version, it was Kevin Gray who mastered this I believe."​

If you were VMP and you see how many packages are seriously bent to hell aka crushed, wouldn't you take a peek into the shipping part of the operation to see what the blazes is happening? That Stella Donnelly pictured above-something massive had to be set on top of it or Patches is throwing wrenches at the packages in the VMP warehouse. I accidently ended up with 5 items all shipping this month and I know something's going to arrive damaged...has every month the past 3 months.

I ordered a record from Sub Pop and it arrived in an Amazon-style mailer (which is awesome at protecting against corner dings) and reinforced with a cardboard stiffener (not bubble wrap).

The VMP mailers are awful. The edges are not folder over for reinforcement, so they crumple easily and don't protect against corner dings.

The problem is solvable. Sub Pop does it. VMP chooses not to.

“I Believe”????? well fuck, I think we can safely say that this was mastered by anyone but Kevin Grey then. And I pulled the trigger yesterday.
