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

Hope you don't want a signed copy direct from the source. Expensive but not as bad as some of their titles. That Dead Boys this week was the one that was overpriced.

$58 for a signature? Wow.

And I agree, the $15 VMP markup on Dead Boys seems excessive.

Honestly, I don't begrudge Rateliff (as a working musician) or VMP (as a medium-sized business) if that's what the market can bear, I just can't support that price. Especially for a live album I'll likely stream twice and never listen to again. $45 for a live album seems like something aimed at fans more ardent than I. So be it.

I see that VNE has sold out in the store, good for him.
 
One of the Grateful Dead sets that most Grateful Dead fans already have?

I'm not a grateful dead fan and was going to purchase one of those sets as an introduction, but they both sold out super quick.

I wouldn't be disappointed if it was that, but by the time I figure out if it's one I want it'll be sold again. I wouldn't have thought that 'extra-special' would describe yet another dead release, but that might just be me.
 
FYI for those waiting on Kind Of Blue from Music Direct. I asked them what "unshipped" meant and received this response:

"I see that Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (UHQR 200g Clarity Vinyl LP) is on pre-order status as it has not arrived into stock at Music Direct yet. The status may be listed as “backordered” or “unshipped” as the order has not been processed.



Please let me know if you have any further questions. I am happy to help!



Thank you

Customer Service"
 
Actually, the more I look at this it goes from "Interesting" to "Wtf is this? Who is this target audience? Do I look like a audio equipment store that needs a demo record?"

EDIT: Of all the speculation of what that 4LP store drop could be, I'm guessing absolutely nobody would've guessed it's this.

This feels like they are testing the limits not only as to how much people will pay for vinyl, but WHAT they will buy when they slap a VMP hype sticker on it.
