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

[Nee Lewman]

Weirdly the track itself is on standby but it lets you swap from another track. Wondering if they have just reached capacity of people signed up for Rock and won’t let people join it for fear of overselling again

Playing games with thresholds is how they oversell. My guess would be that more likely, someone swapped their Richard making an opening to swap for it.

Nah it’s been swappable this way for the past 5 days or so. Smarter for them to lock the track for no new subscribers because then they know how many people are locked in next month. Swaps reset otherwise.

Perhaps explains some of the egregious price increases?

That is pretty damn funny.

What would you do with more time? Funnel corporate funds into a pet project and lie to the Board about it.

I was wondering if that happened with the long thread on Reddit recently about how they all removed VMP positions from their LinkedIn and an interim CEO was installed last month.

How brazen of him to basically brag about this…IN PUBLIC

“We definitely had people pushing us like, ‘There are cheaper places you could build this.’ But that wouldn’t be as fun.””

@TrainFan73 was it Cam who was a turd to you on the old forum? Or was that in the Matt days?

 

[Hemotep]

I do have to at least consider cancelling some of my pricier preorders before they Bandbox 2.0 on our asses...

Interesting. Article definitely has a slant towards the board.

As usually is the case, private equity/greed corrupted something.

"They also sent out marketing materials “implying the two entities” — VMP and the factory — “were one and the same, creating confusion amongst customers,” VMP said."

Like naming the plant Vinyl Media Pressing aka VMP?

This whole thing is making me wonder if I should maybe cancel the Impulse anthology. Kind of making me nervous that it's several hundred just on hopes and prayers at this point.

I'm not changing anything. The article claims they were fired in March. That means we are a few months in already and things are keeping on. I imagine eventually they'll press it. This seems more like things got too expensive at the plang and heads rolled/trying to recoup costs/appease private equity

Cam was always awesome, it was Matt.

Well, shit. Was hoping for at least a silver lining for you, lol

The "pressing records in a timely and professional manner" does not inspire confidence regardless of the crux of the lawsuit. A giant waiving red flag when spending so much.

 

[Hemotep]

Looks like @MikeH is on the discord putting some real negativity out into the world by floating the idea that Third Man could buy them

Not sure that's the take here. Sounds like those guys were just a little too passionate about the plant and basically committed fraud to try to keep it going. I'm not an attorney, but if what is alleged is true, I wonder whether they've left themselves open for criminal prosecution, too.

I have to say, I've certainly been confused about the relationship between the plant and VMP. Everything VMP sends out makes it sound like it's "their plant."
