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

That has not been my experience.
I can't remember the last time I've gotten a clean GZ pressing, and I'm buying WAY too many albums. Some worse than others.

i'm spinning the eco-vinyl Big Thief right now and there are no issues whatsoever. has a very slight warp that DNAP but is dead quiet otherwise and sounds good. mine was pressed at GZ. The Fela box set vol 5 was GZ, also no issues with it. All Things Must Pass 50th anniversary box was GZ and no issues there either. Nirvana Nevermind 30th anniversary was flat and dead quiet. Looking back at the past 10 or so GZ albums I have picked up that are non-VMP, I only had issues with one...and it's that Tammi pressing. From what I remember it is just really poorly done overall. I seem to remember the mastering just sounding bad but will have to listen to it again.

edit: i will say though i generally DO try to stay away from GZ as they are my least favorite pressing plant out there. sometimes you just dont know until you buy something though.

FWIW. Maybe not everything will be GZ. This was my convo with RTI.

No, and I believe the official messaging was that it could vary from album to album. It wouldn't surprise me if higher profile titles go to RTI still. I don't know if Lightnin' was just one they thought they could easily get away with a GZ press.

I'd guess any RTI classics titles (or exclusives) are very far out.

Charlotte Day Wilson's Alpha is shipping, I got confirmation it'll be in my March box. Yay.

If you're like me, and a ton of people on reddit, good luck getting tracking on your March box. It seems like most tracking numbers haven't been registered in the system in days.

Mine says label created. It usually takes a day or two before I actually see movement on it.
 
Here's the official Pauly response. I guess my order may have shipped, may have gotten lost, may not have left the warehouse, may be on a Jeff Bezos phallic-shaped rocket to the moon. THAT'S THE FUN OF VMP, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN!
