First store exclusive I have bought since I signed up for the country track.

"If you can't swim you better learn to drown"

So good. I hope VMP does a Riddy Arman exclusive when her new record comes out.

I'm not familiar with the artist all that much, but I do like the song "Learnin' to Drown".

Riddy is on La Honda the same label that VNE, Colter Wall and Local Honeys are on, She should be releasing an album fairly soon.

Hmm do I get the AAA Bill Withers for $35 or just not buy anything because I have the MoFi Greatest Hits and Live at Carnagie?

The AAA. And you can never have too much Bill Withers.

 

[Turbo]

Yeah honestly, I'm kind of leaning towards that. I have MoFi Greatest Hits on back order and Live At Carnegie, not sure I neeeeeeed more Bill.

Everyone needs more Bill Withers. Get the AAA though.

(EDIT: I'm screwing around... you have enough unless a AAA "Still Bill" comes out.)

This intrigues me. Anyone else familiar with him outside the Narcos song? I like the one song on Spotify that is listed on the tracklist.

Drama

'Drama' is the new album from Rodrigo Amarante, known for writing the Narcos theme song. We have it on Clear Olive and Red vinyl.

I had to TINA this based on my extreme love for Little Joy.

This album is so good I'm wondering why VMP didn't make this a monthly "classics" selection instead of a random store drop? Are there other versions of this being reissued at this same moment?

Because that’s not Bill Withers’ 17th best album, that’s why.

Anyone ever seen a company whose sole means of distributing its product is to ship it struggle SO BADLY with the shipping aspect of their business model?

 

[bdrummond]

Not complaining but I can't see how this is cheaper.

 

[snoops]

I wonder then if they will stop with the up charge they have on their shipping options at checkout then. I have never seen a company flip flop so many fucking times on their shipping practices. I mean I am all for anything that gets me my records faster, but I think there are less Black Puma variants than the number of times they have tried to tweak things.

Having worked in logistics, the thinking boggles my mind

I do not understand from a cost or environmental standpoint how doing this makes any sense whatsoever. It strikes me as a "just screw it" approach to managing inventory and shipping

Reading through some of Paul’s responses on Reddit, I get the vibe that they’re getting a lot of complaints from people who get their ROTMs way later in the month than other people. This is probably their attempt to reduce those complaints and be more “efficient”.

I just think they have some serious issues with their warehouse/fulfillment process as we’ve all seen.

They really should think about a different warehouse/fulfillment process, there's no reason these boxes shouldn't be ready to go at the beginning of the month. It's just sending us 2-4 boxes a month, every month is going to be a pricey was to try to satisfy unsatisfiable and impatient redditers. And I have a feeling that like any business, that expense will be passed along to the customer.

The "expense" is already at the tipping point, for me at least. I'm not sure how they can charge any more. I'm cancelling next month as the cost vs what I'm getting is too high. I may activate again for the odd Classics, but the other tracks aren't as "exclusive" anymore as I used to enjoy.

But if they charge more, they’ll get rid of some customers and end up having fewer customer complaints to deal with. I don’t see why they would abandon that strategy now - it seems to have solved a lot of their problems lol.
