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

Why do people keep repeating this Adele wives tale? DO they really think a company just buys up all the pressing allocation at every world wide pressing company? That's definitely not how vinyl pressing works. You work with one company, not all of them at once AFAIK.

Also some of those Adele articles were literally paid ads for her album haha. I guess it definitely got people talking about it!

Adele has nothing to do with it haha. Prices in Canada are already exorbitant for imported vinyl. Material prices are up across the board, buying is up, product is limited... COVID broke the vinyl market...not Adele.

also if it makes you feel any better, the 2LP Weeknd Highlights album is $60USD here.

I'm just going through my local and 2LPs are regularly sitting around the 30-40 sweet spot until Adele clocks in at $50, then the Weeknd at $60. You're probably right, but man the two latest pop music releases are INSANE price wise.

they are two huge artists with gigantic fanbases who happily pay $60 and a lot of the time probably don't even spin it. record labels are milking the vinyl boom for releases like these. pretty sure the weeknd sold 1LPs for $100 or something like that on his site a few months ago and they sold out extremely quickly.

Yeah I believe it was a super limited House of balloons with original samples or some shit and it was stupid then too. I'm happy with my $30 version.
 
It's been a minute since I got any VMP exclusives outside the ROTMs. Now that shipping is bifurcated, when do the exclusives usually ship? Specifically, has Courtney Barnett started shipping?

I ordered the Sylvan Esso and Mountain Man bundle they had which was supposed to ship this month, but nothing yet. It could be different for each title, but nothing here.

Their shipping still makes no sense. I ordered something bundled with my last monthly and they sent it separately right away.

Agreed. They say they won't ship until bundle, then something goes out. But if you ask it's like they push a button to say make sure it doesn't ship early.
