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

What's the difference between the two? Any idea?

Probably just color I’d guess and maybe the PJ Ten Club one is more limited. Total guesses on that though. The link originally came from Pearl Jam’s Twitter which is why it was 404–they published it early

The Honky Chateau VMP reissue is also apparently the only AAA one and cut by RKS. The other wide release is digital source apparently. Always weird they get exclusive cuts of wide releases sometimes

I still cannot understand how they don't market this when they get actual exclusivity.

On that one it did seem like they weren’t technically supposed to advertise that it was a different AAA cut. But yea seemed weird to me too

That's what they told us when they shut the forum down. Everything needed to start costing $6-million so they could start putting shitty "obi strips" on everything, along with publishing a book and selling anoraks

Don't forget the $80 box cutter

unless they publish a different one later, the one in the pearl jam store is the exact same as the vmp one.

Interesting.

I was trying to remember that and couldn't. I knew it was something ridiculous, though.

I think there’s only one version. 10C fans just get exclusive access until 2/27. But that doesn’t really matter if they’re not limited.

That somehow sold out I think haha

Taken from the description-

"The plant is being built to produce the finest quality records ever made."

I mean they're not going to put out a press release with "we half-assed it and are going to use it to gouge every last dollar from you. it's gonna make shitty bowls that will wreck needles just by being in the room with them"

$72 after shipping/tax through the ten club.

Wait...this is the band that started the whole "Fuck ticket master and their insane pricing" thing?
That band?

@Mather got them all, I think he kept getting warped blades

My guess is that this is shipping to UK plus VAT so pretty much same product price. Just a guess. (I think AndySlash is in the uk)

My tinfoil hat conspiracy theory brain said these were all given to staff at the Christmas party last year.

Yea and this is why I said that VMP isn’t in charge of the pricing on this one. Hopefully all store exclusives won’t be this much moving forward. I believe VMP and 10 club are the only places that will sell this.

Yes. I bet VMP chose price point because it seems on par with their 2LPs. But the outrageous shipping has been true of 10C for a while. They don’t offer economy shipping on anything.

Well, someone needs to get fucked with that price, that's all I'm saying.

Times have changed, unfortunately. I’ve been a big PJ fan for almost 30 years. Their fan first low prices credo went out the window about 10-15 years ago.
