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

I had a big VMP box arrive today and.......some of the worst warps I have ever had.

Embarrassingly bad to the point that I refuse to believe they even have quality control. If I could work out how to post a video here you would honestly laugh/cry at how bad they are. Heres a photo which doesn't quite capture the awfulness but comes close....

Magician: "for my next trick, i will make this record hover about your turntable."
 
Pretty sure I know who the next rising artist is. I wish they'd hurry up and get the record into the store, I'm so excited to add it to the collection!
How long does it take to press records after the test pressing is approved?
 
That new Black Keys covers album seems to be getting a lot of different “limited” color variations. Wonder if VMP will have one as well?

I've been going back and forth with Fana Hues on social media about her album for a few months. In like January she said a vinyl pressing would be coming soon. I wanna say about month ago she got the test pressing... Then when VMP interviewed her a couple weeks ago, I asked if they're gonna do the record
"👀maybe"

Either way, I'm gonna check her out a bit later.

Oh, I would definitely pick this up. Now I hope you're correct!
 
Got my box!

-Shotgun Willie is fantastic. Great album, great pressing, great packaging. Need I say more?

-The first record of Donna Summer's Bad Girls was the dirtiest I'd ever seen. Just completely covered in little bits of paper and sawdust. There's a visible scratch on the title song as well, although I haven't heard any skipping issues yet (I'm at work so I can't have the volume up too high). I think someone dropped the record at the pressing plant or something. Otherwise the vinyl color mixing is kind of meh. Mostly blue with some hint of purple. Also I realized this album really should have only been one LP long. That's a LOT of disco.

As an aside, how are people storing records that come in thick cardboard inner inserts? I was thinking of investing in a package of rounded inner sleeves that I think will fit in the cardboard inserts OK, as opposed to my usual go-to MoFi rice-paper inners.

I have a few cardboard Sub Pop inners and I usually just slide in one MoFi and just leave it in there. It slightly hangs out the top but still fits in the jacket fine. I don’t care for semi-circle inners I only have them with my Japan pressed albums.
 
Got my shipment yesterday and started plugging it into discogs:

- Tennessee Woman: 4 for sale starting at $103.01
- Kids: 1 for sale starting at $80
- Shotgun Willie: 17 for sale starting at $85.84
- Tidal (repress listing): 37 for sale starting at $62.67
- Soul Food (repress listing): 10 for sale starting at $87.73

No wonder the prices are climbing. I'm shocked by that people are charging over $100 for Tennessee Woman, and laughing that someone thinks they'll get $80 for Kids. I thought I was the only one that bought Kids and I can't imagine that there's a shortage on VMP.
