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

[avecigrec]

Has this been confirmed or is it a hunch?

I've done the math, and if it falls into the new $45/50 price point, the exchange and shipping will be the same as buying from her bandcamp, so I'll probably hang tough until Friday and get her more of my money instead. But my bank account is hoping for a lower VMP price.

I have to admit that her music has never captivated me as much as others on the London jazz scene (although I did enjoy her Walrus EP).

Maybe this will be the one to fully engage me, either way I'm just thrilled to see companies like VMP shining light on the UK/London scene.

You think they will be throwing down any Nicholas Jaar-tied exclusives to coincide with the Darkside ROTM?

Besides LP 2 which is already up for pre-order, no.

Too good an idea probably.

Nothing grabbed me this time, might swap Darkside for Billie Holiday. How does that pressing sound?

Also I got my add-ons open if anyone wants to grab something.

I love that Billie. I've heard some folks complain about some pops or warps, but mine was fine. Wonderful record, enjoyable press.

My lesson has been learned and I'm going to avoid buying Pure Phase from VMP and wait until my local gets it for about 2/3 the price.

Thats my line of thought on most of their store drops.

Thats my line of thought on most of their store drops.

Yeah, it took me about 3 or 4 times of being burned to let that sink in. Was going to cancel Lazer Guided Melodies when I saw my local got it in but it shipped literally minutes before I was going to do so.

Thing is there's nothing even special about these spiritualized drops, they're just the same product you can get anywhere else but for more money. Makes zero sense unless you're in say, Australia.

EDIT: Okay, maybe it makes sense saving on shipping costs in the States since it's about $29USD and you can get it shipped with your ROTM for free...but for me in Canada it's more like $33USD vs $36CAN (which is what LGM sells for) which is a no-brainer.

Pricing at my local shop for Lazer Guided Melodies was $37CAD, which after taxes works out to about the same as VMP. My local has no problem selling out of them so I didn’t feel too bad about not supporting them.

Question for other Canadian subscribers. My shipments are usually handled by Canada Post, taking over from DHL, but today I noticed that my latest shipment was picked up by TForce in Canada? Anyone else seen this or know why this would have changed?

Probably because Canada Post keeps getting hammered by COVID and they're likely going to shut down the Mississauga warehouse yet again for another outbreak.

It’s a great recording and mastering. The problem is the usual GZ roulette, where some copies are great, others not so much. I lucked in this particular case, but other GZ releases sometimes take a couple replacements to get a good copy.

That’s a fair point. Hopefully this won’t have an impact on duties/taxes on the shipment.

It shouldn't.

Mines been TForce for quite a while. I've never had an issue with them. Not sure why the change since it pre dates Covid for me. They're are no duties etc...

Interesting. Mine's always been CP. This is the first time I've even heard of TForce. Are they maybe a Toronto courrier that's decided to branch outside to pick up some of the CP slack?

That's my guess yeah, quite frankly the stuff I get from them via VMP is usually in better shape than when CP delivers it.

Speaking of Canada Post I think they've officially lost my King Geedorah from the UK and that's heartbreaking since it's not something I can easily just reorder. Been in transit since March 11.

Stupid seller usually prints the name of the album on the tracking label so good chance someone saw it and yoinked it.
