I think it's because they were in NY and Robin mentioned that him and the opener Uwade both bonded over their love of the Strokes on the tour. Such an awesome show though. They played for well over 2 hours.
One of the best things VMP has
$26 for a GZ pressing vs $45 for a GZ pressing is a pretty huge difference. I have plenty of non-AAA pressings...i'm not the one that tried to start the boycott on reddit lol.
Glad to hear it sounds good. As you know, GZ had a bad streak with VMP specifically for a few months in a row and $45 is still a LOT to spend on a GZ-pressed album based on those issues for me. I have no interest in buying any of the titles I mentioned for $45 a piece, which is the 1 month membership cost. And there hasn't been enough that I've been interested in to sign up for a long-term deal with VMP to lower the membership cost. For $26, I'm fine to get a few of the things I missed that people say were pressed well. GZ can do some nice pressings every once in awhile and it does seem that they have been getting better/more consistent recently with the VMP pressings.
Yeah one can't swing a dead snake around the internet's music forums without hitting a GZ or MoFi griping thread.
I've heard the tier thing as well with GZ. I also just think they are probably back (or close to) being fully staffed so maybe they stepped up the QC. Or they were getting lots of complaints and threats to use another plant? Who knows...but I'm glad that it's fixed because like it or not, lots of records are pressed there. GZ being good benefits everybody.
Don't have Roberta, and haven't listened to my copy of Dinah yet. But Boogaloo sounds good and was flat and quiet. Pressed at GZ though, so your mileage may vary.
Was hoping to swap for Patsy Cline but don't see it on there...might just have to go ahead and buy it so I don't lose out.
Looks like it's there under past ROTMs > Country. I suppose there's always the risk it sells out, but you could go the route of swapping for credit, then buying for a little cheaper ($34) - unless you have the yearly plan price
For me it's not really the money difference - I'll pay the $34 listed in store (especially as I just got the $60 credit deal)
FWIW VMP staff on the discord say that this is the best Interpol has sounded. I wouldn’t expect them to say anything else but
I think I'll stick w Interpol - it may be one of those albums like Phoenix where everyone was questioning why it was an ROTM but then ended up being the best sounding version out there.FWIW VMP staff on the discord say that this is the best Interpol has sounded.

That’s the route I’m going. Nothing from swaps and no add ons . Save my
for the $25 off and constant flow of represses.
