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

[Ghost]

See I think this is oversimplified. If you have a ton of vinyl already then I can see how it would be a waist. To me Classics has been the best track, and Country so far. If you have a cheaper price (as I do) And are interested in building a collection while discovering some things and using swaps, it can be great. QC seems to be the biggest gripe. I can totally understand that. For me... I've only had to return two discs in two years.

Agreed. I keep my subscription active because VMP has a good track record of producing definitive pressing editions of great albums, if it was just colored vinyl I wouldn’t be as compelled to subscribe.

The jackets feel nice but the definitive aspect is thanks to a well thought out marketing strategy. They get the occasional AAA but otherwise it’s colored vinyl, a number stamp and the intoxicating build up to the VMP treatment. Just doesn’t feel justified for the 100% markup they charge.

I’m so happy you were able to score a copy before it sells out! Definitely one of the best exclusives so far this year!!!

Now down to 6 copies (or less).

Must. Resist. FOMO.

Urghhhhhh.

Finally got around to opening up the Art Blakey Chippin' In. As I was opening it I thought that it looked really tight and both records are crazy warped. Dish warps on both of them. Believe it or not, the 2 photos below are 2 separate discs. The video would give you motion sickness.

Thanks for the heads up, I decided to finally pick it up. I couldn’t get myself to pay full price but I just got the refund credits from the Mars Volta pressing issue.

Yep!

I love the free membership! It actually makes the vinyl habit affordable for me whilst living out of home and immersing myself in fitness, food and fashion!

Your 401k would’ve helped that too

401k ???

What does that mean?

 

[MrChad]

401k ???

What does that mean?

Tax-deferred investment retirement account in the US. Similar to the Superannuation in Australia (I think).

What is…something you don’t have anymore because you spent it all on vinyl ?

Ohhhhhh I see!!!

Well I’m hoping the Australian government allows for me to take my superannuation again for the third financial year as COVID is still affecting the population/economy!

Without trying to be greedy or sound greedy, I want as much money as possible so then I can experiment and live a lifestyle I can’t afford without the superannuation release payment!
