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

Interesting.

So in the discord Storf said VMP would have limited exclusivity with this album, although a wider release would be made available later. So he was surprised when he saw it going up elsewhere.

My guess is the label jumped the gun with the other editions and pulled back when VMP called them out.

So… if you’re not feeling the VMP version and don’t mind waiting a bit, other versions will come out. Eventually.

Wild. While the VMP mockup does look great, the non-VMP version was costing me quite a bit less, so I reckon I'll keep waiting for the wider release. Thanks for elaborating on this - your guess definitely makes a lot of sense.

Hmm strange. I still see it available through Target and other stores with a release date of this week.
 
GZ doing their thing on side 3 of Transatlanticism... actually been a while since I've had this.
i've gotten 2 bad copies of Transatlanticism so far. Gotta send another video in. Warping on disc 1 for both. I don't know if my warps last month were from GZ or really tight packaging from the VMP shipping department. I did notice I seem to have less warps when I order less in a package. I think I had 4 or 5 records last month between swaps and preorders and they were crammed into a smaller box.

Yeah both my copies had disc one warps, and both also have side 3 noise. One is slightly better with just having pops, the other is covered in no fill. Trying for another because I definitely want a good copy of this one. There's a Riot Going On also poppy but so far it's tolerable, likely due to the style of pinwheel vinyl.

I’m on my 3rd try with Transatlanticism and basically just want a flat LP1. Weird how that’s where we’ve all had the warping. My LP2s are all flat. Really want a good spot of this so will keep Charlie Browning until I kick the damn football.

If you aren't able to get a flat disc one. I can try to use my Furutech on one of my extra disc 1s. It's not a guarantee with mixed color vinyl that it won't melt. But if I can flatten it, I can send it to you.

Same for you @MikeH

Warping on my replacement copy too, but not terrible so I'm not bothering with it.
 
Tbh I haven’t listened to it bc of the warped lp1. I’ve checked for warps but haven’t really listened through.
yea --that warp made me not pay as close attention to the rest since I knew i was going to ask for a replacement anyway.

I think the album does sound really great though. Don't have any other pressings to compare to.
