Someone complained about this on reddit and while I take reddit comments with a grain of salt, this one is truly some fuckery.

The Salsoul Orchestra - Anthology I: Limited Lemon + Black Galaxy Vinyl 2LP - Sound of Vinyl

Founded by composer and percussionist Vincent Montana Jr., SALSOUL ORCHESTRA was a big band with a twist: they played disco. Active from 1974 to the early 1980s, they served as the backing band for several vocalists on Salsoul Records and recorded their own material, which included eleven LPs of...

This is the EXACT same variant, but around $15 cheaper. I'd lose my shit on them here.

EDIT: Even check the copy on both listings. VMP got the abbreviated version it seems.

I was hoping to swap for this at some time. I'll wait for it to go to the sale section now.

A couple, if not all of the links I posted are UK/European so check the shipping costs on those. I usually find rarewaves shipping to be REALLY good cost wise to Canada.

Yeah, can confirm. All in rarewaves is going to charge me $52.98 shipped vs $66.79 from VMP after conversion. Dumb dumb dumb.

EDIT: Though mind you it's still slightly cheaper if it DID appear in swaps at the international add-on cost, but I don't think you should bank on it.
 
So the reddit mod got back regarding this whole thing with this:

VMP is aware of this and the working assumption is that the production plant made more than the 500 VMP ordered and dumped these copies to other sellers.
Plus once they get their own plant up and running everything will be in house.

I don't really care either way, I buy albums I want to listen to and don't care about numbering or limited editions, but some people do and this whole situation is kind of absurd, especially when those other copies are undercutting VMP's pricing by a fair margin.

Was this a mod or something? Whoever this guy is his replies (not to just this one) come off as a major VMP apologist. I get you mod the VMP reddit but man, some situations are just shitty and you can sit the discussion out. There's (IMO) no situation where you shouldn't have reached out to your customers here. If they can do it if the record doesn't match the mockups, they can do so if you think you're buying a 500 unit exclusive that turned into much more.

They’re paraphrasing Storf from the discord who said:

I'd imagine they made more than the 500 they sold us and are now unloading them. Not happy about it, but not like we sold out in 2 weeks or anything either.

Enoch was a forum user back in the day. He had a complete VMP collection. Every single rotm, every single exclusive. I believe he sold off his collection and stopped posting around the same time.

Enoch was a member of the old forum. He was obsessed with VMP and was buying every single release for the completionism of it. If I remember correctly they messed up with him and he stopped buying. He ended selling his whole collection. If you go to past VMP Discogs entry you'll see his name a lot of times.
