That's one of the ones I've been waiting three months for them to ship! You got my record,
You may want to hit them up. Iāve already gotten my copy and my inevitable replacement all in that time.

El Malo
The first release in Sonidos Encontrados, VMPās new series dedicated to deep cut latin music, is this edition of Willie ColĆ³nās debut LP, 'El Malo.' It was remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, and comes with a custom obi strip and new Listening Notes essay.www.vinylmeplease.com
Sonidos Encontrados is VMPās new series celebrating deep cuts from the expansive catalog of Latin music. Eventually, the series will aim to reissue releases from many genres, countries, and eras, but the seriesā first reissues are dedicated to the Fania label, in celebration of the labelās 60th anniversary.
Fania was the Motown of Latin Soul music in the ā60s and ā70s, the home to household names like Hector Lavoe, Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, La Lupe, Joe Bataan, and Willie Colon.
Our first release in Sonidos Encontrados ā Spanish for āfound soundsā ā is Willie ColĆ³nās El Malo, the debut LP from the band leader, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and activist. ColĆ³n was the wunderkind of the Fania label, as he recorded the album when he was just 16 years old. The title track from the album was in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and the album features guest vocals from a 21-year-old Lavoe, who was beginning his own rise to salsa stardom.
Pressed at VMPās own pressing plant, plated by Gary Salstrom at VMP, and remastered AAA by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, these releases will be limited to 1000 units and pressed on 180g vinyl and come with a custom obi strip and a Listening Notes booklet.
VMP members can expect at least five more Sonidos Encontrados releases in 2024.
Just keeps climbingā¦

That new pressing plant ain't paying for itself says VMP.

With the inevitably of a 40% off code if you are paying full price or wasting swaps on exclusives you are doing it wrong:

Is this the order that the warehouse is unable to do in a timely manner because some of the records are too high up on the shelf or whatever their dumb excuse was?

If everything comes out sounding like a MoFi or an AP pressing, Iāll pay those prices happily, if not, well shiiiiiiiiiiiii

That wasn't me, but could be why because they never told me what the delay was. It took them nearly a month to investigate it, then they gave me a $15 credit and said it would ship this month. It didn't come with my sub though, and they just said it should still come this month according to the warehouse.

Unless something goes to low stock or sells out. But generally yea makes sense to wait.

Which really is and always has been āour computer systems are fucking useless and we wonāt pay for better one because blaming the warehouse weāve been pilling onto for 6 or 7 years is way easierā.

Itās open now and doing testing apparently after all the bureaucratic red tape. Not open to the public yet though.

there's a perfect world scenario where the hold ups with their plant revolve solely around that bar they had on the floor plan that was 3x the size of the QC area
