Yeah but the $ spent is long gone for me to the point that the box will feel free. Hearing this news does explain why there hasn't been a new anthology announced yet though.

i think a new anthology is being announced soon.

IMO the news explains why there have been no updates on the Impulse box, GD Anthology and the reasoning for their series that were going to be pressed at VMPressing now being moved to GZ with late 2024/early 2025 dates

so when does Cam start up a new monthly record club for real music fans?

I hear the angel investors are already lining up.

AFAIC, Cam was the only true music lover at heart. But you can't mix business with pleasure as they say. I was actually surprised when he was promoted to CEO. Maybe his personality wasn't as business oriented as the board would have liked (e.g. worry about the bottom line first, and music quality second).

It's beginning to feel very closely to how Hollywood operates.

I about wanna pull up the Discord to see if the discourse on there. Hoping it breaks into Cam/Plant supports vs. VMP corporate loyalist.

We’re on there right now. I think everyone is rightfully worried. I can’t speak to the legality of how Cam was representing VMPlant and its place in the company. But goddamn, all the 40% off sales as of late and this senior leadership ouster don’t make me feel great.

Private equity! Profits over art (even though if you do it right you can have both)

I assumed those sales was for a warehouse move to the new factory but maybe it was for cash

40% discount, flash sales, Willie Nelson x4 for $20, selling thousands of damaged records and mystery bundles. All good here.

There is nothing in the article that would lead me to believe it has shut down.

At this point sunk cost is gonna get the plant up and running. The question will be if VMP adheres to its goals in audiophile quality facility or if the new guys running the show cheap out or offload the plant all together to another company. Lots of question marks but I don’t think shutting down makes sense at this point in the process.

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."

It was on the front of their magazine a month or two ago
