I think VMP has said they actually pay less on their end to NOT ship bundled which is likely why they do it

It might be true for US shipments, probably not for internationals.

Picked up Mamas Gun and Quiet Fire. I miss discount codes though.

i think they are going to start doing loyalty discount codes for long-term subscribers more frequently.

Wasn't it originally mid-December, then bumped ahead and now bumped back to its original timeline?

I recently relistened to the Herbie Box and the V.S.O.P is fantastic. Really great pressing.

I grabbed it for a friend but he ended up being able to get a copy. Now I’ll probably just keep it for myself!

My copy of Head Hunters needed to be replaced due to warps

Yup. Was a full blown taco box. Which I spent ages with CS sorting to then inexplicably flip the box.

Anyone recall major QC issues with the Herbie box?

Yeah it was a pain in the ass getting clean copies of everything, I gave up eventually. My Piano pressing in particular is still a bit noisy, not awful but it’s definitely not a black background. Had to replace at least 3 different records with multiple copies of each.

i'd avoid buying a sealed one.

 

[Mather]

No, I do not own the Herbie box, it wasn't me.

The Mather effect in action.
