Yeahhhhh I just streamed all of the albums before ordering the set and really wish Shades of Brown wasn’t there. I’m hoping the sound on the vinyl is so good that it makes it worth listening to, but based on comments here I am guessing that isn’t the case. The rest of the albums are fantastic though.

Just got Busta Rhymes The Coming on the table and man I didn't realize it was the full deluxe package on this one. I was expecting thin board single pocket jacket like a lot of the store exclusives but this is like the full ROTM treatment. Thick stock gatefold with the foil printing etc. Absolutely killer design on the vinyl, poly sleeves. The hell?

You could join for one month with one of those titles, add another track for the other, buy the Anthology, and be back out in 10 days.
Or, if you really want a freebie, join for 3 months (starting with one of the two titles), then swap for the other next month. You can use a referral code and essentially get 4 albums for $108.

So if I got a referral on 11/17 and the credits haven’t shown up, I should reach out to CS, right?

I’m thinking they won’t shown up until December 1. I haven’t gotten mine either, it just shows that they were “accepted.”

I think that was after swaps opened up right? If so, you won’t get the credit until around the 1st

No idea, but it’s all good. I can wait. Just curious.

I have referrals that aren’t even showing up as accepted. Contacted them but not sorted yet. So quite a bit of credit floating in hyperspace atm

And here I can't get anyone to use my link. One did and it said it wasn't valid. I don't know why. Emailed and they just said that back to me again. Very weird.

Thats such bullshit that it's not valid! I mean, he joined. He's even bought stuff in addition to his membership. I'm pissed on your behalf!

Yeah, I don't get it. It listed it for a couple weeks, then changed to invalid. I couldn't get a solid answer from them. I think it's just a mistake on their end and the person I exchanged emails with probably didn't know what to do and just figured whatever. It's annoying, but I'm not too pissed about it anymore. So long as he got the discount, I'm not stressing over it anymore.

Glad you're not stressing it, but you deserve your credits too!

Finally got around to putting a dent in my backlog today (about 30 records deep now), and you know what...?
VMP has been killing it lately. Credit where credit is due. Like noticeable difference in sound and packaging. Tito Puente, Lupe and Chalino are all highlights of this particular listening session. As @Mather said earlier that Busta is also fantastic. Still got 3 more VMPs sitting around, but looking forward to spinning those later.
EDIT: And the best part, is every one so far has been clean. No noise whatsoever.

That Oneohtrix Point Never album I find very interesting. Definitely worth a spin and it is one of the free record choices if you are so inclined

I had great fun going through my 8 bonus albums. No issues with any of them.
The sleeve on my STP that turned up yesterday looks likes it’s been dragged about by a tractor though. Given the state of the box it was shipped in I’m pretty sure that’s a Hermes special rather than VMP

My VMP shipment with my 8 bonus records has officially entered the ambiguous and frustrating state of “In transit to next facility” with no shipment date.
Anybody get one of these before and still have a package show up? I have other packages that shipped out later that are out for delivery today, this one was scheduled for delivery on Monday

There’s also a rule with media mail that I’m pretty sure is still in place - since it’s discount rate shipping, it’s sorted/loaded on to trucks last and sometimes there’s no room for it. Usually it comes into play during the holidays when there are a lot packages. I definitely see stuff sit in limbo statuses this time of year and think that’s usually why.My VMP shipment with my 8 bonus records has officially entered the ambiguous and frustrating state of “In transit to next facility” with no shipment date.
