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

Swaps Preview are live. Nothing really jumping out to me right now and I’m not really feeling this month’s options. May just swap for credit and grab some store titles with the $25 off sale.

Hmmm, this doesn't seem to work for me. (Not getting anything but just curious) wonder if it doesn't work for International's.

I'm US based, so that could be the case...I hadn't seen on reddit anyone having the same issue. The titles do have to be in stock and anthologies don't count (I tried).

I tried again, it worked but it seems like some stuff is blocked. Tool appears to be blocked even though it's on the "list". So it works, just a bit... janky. The usual...

Can anyone speak on the quality of that Mars Volta Francis the Mute? Missed out last month because they fucked up the drop time and that's really the only thing that caught my eye

I’m tempted to pick up Justice while I’m still a member. I really like the album. If anyone will be honest it will be you. How much of shitshow is the pressing and by how large a margin should I avoid it?

Mine arrived flat and with no issues. It sounds great to me. But with all things VMP, your mileage may vary

I’d heard rumours of widespread GZ x VMP issues with this one so it’s at least reassuring to hear of a good one.

All 3 copies of mine have the GZ right channel noise off the top of all sides. Now I'm certain that my Shibata greatly exacerbates this issue, so it may not be all that noticeable on a non 2M Black cart. It's not as bad as ATliens or Volta, but it's the same issue.

Yeah club shiabata too but mine is probably a little more forgving comparing notes on similar pressings in the past. But, Volta is very present on every copy of that I had.

Given the cost of getting these things into Europe right now I might have to pass and just get Thin Lizzy and Interpol and bail, I’d never have signed back up had I realised at the time that the the Euro had crashed to dollar parity…

So I got Biggie, Kid Cudi, and Tribe this weekend and they all came scratched up. This is the first time that a whole box from VMP came like this. I’m getting them replaced thank god but I forgot about the lack of quality control on vinyl.

I still need to reach out to CS and try to get my third copy of Tribe to hopefully get one that doesn't have brutal static to start a good chunk of side A and plenty of side B. I really hope the upcoming VMP pressing plant sorts out their atrocious QC issues over the last year or so.
