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

Surprised they didn't do this since the whole idea behind the sale is to clear out stuff sitting in the warehouse. Those 800 copies of anthologies are several pallets worth, just filling the warehouse.

even if it was only for vanguard and willie. i mean the only reason the dead set sold out is they sold it to third party resellers.

And because they only actually printed like a third of what they initially said they were going to press.

Vanguard is going to be there until the end of time unless they drop the price. It's been a year and they're still over 30% of their stock. I don't know how they can get 300+ people to drop $250 when they keep coming out with newer anthologies. You can get sealed copies on Discogs for $200.

They're supposed to notify Fiona Bundle winners today. Did anyone get some good news? Could see them not sending notifications quite yet.

Gonna be honest, now that I have a VMP connection thru a friend, I am not re-joining. I can live without anything they press.

I'd take the over on 100%.

They are so careful to word this that it's a VMP exclusive but leaving it ambiguous enough that "exclusivity" refers more to the colour. It's far enough in the future to give the impression that they're the only game in town until other preorder links start showing up down the line.

There's a 100% chance this shows up in swaps in May (once it's actually shipped)

Looking at the Usher deets, I'm still 100% convinced that there will be a general release, but the general release will we slightly stripped down. I can see colour, artwork and maybe the photo booklet being VMP frills in order to call it "exclusive".

I'd be completely surprised if this album is only sold through VMP. Such a big album of the 90s.

Can't see the recreated cover just being for a VMP drop either.


Edit: that might've been what you were saying with artwork.

It could be. The 2nd LP sounds as if it's definitely a VMP exclusive. Not a bad get and would definitely drive some sales for the completionists that don't mind paying an absurd price.

Hmmm...maybe the conversation was "You get to press My Way into oblivion if you press 20,000 copies of Confessions"

I thought I read somewhere it was 4000 copies but not sure where I saw that.

The price is definitely hard to swallow, but if VMP is the only place to get the 2LP version then that's a pretty big get for them. Will really help to drive sales on an overpriced Usher album.

Ah, yeah so it was the good old VMP "rush to put out info but don't fact check anything until things go live".

Sounds like the intern may be looking for a new job.
