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

That's what Matt just said in the stream and that they're trying to get the big stuff to RTI. But that wasn't a guarantee, he hedged it.

or Furnace

Looking like trying to press some of the stuff that was slated at VMPressing to RTI or Furnace.

This made me more hopeful.

Well five minutes of that guy's corporate speak was all I could take. Glad I cancelled. Can use my 40% off coupon if/when they ever put out a quality box of the two I want.

"There's no relationship. No ownership shared between the pressing plant and VMP."

...then WTF was the board voting on in 2021? "Should we spend a few hundred thousand dollars on something for someone else's 100% profit? We'll get nothing out of it directly but we could contract with this new entity, spending additional $ to get our records pressed there. All in favor?" I know it was supposed to get mostly outside funding, but then still don't understand how the board needed to be involved if the company had no official connection, with a building that ended up with their logo on it.

Or is this more of a corporate shell game? -the plant is completely owned by a company called.... Please, Me Vinyl; no relation (except in the Caymans ) and VMP doesn't formally own the plant

ok basically what i got was "VMP and VMPress are 2 different companies, VMP is not a sinking ship, things will be happening, matt is now CEO again"

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

What a great company. Keep it up!

 

[duke86fan]

also the box sets might be moved to RTI or furnace but we dunno yet

 

[Bull Shannon]

and to think I'd recently felt cooled down enough from the forum closing and the nutty Weyes Blood delay to consider signing back up...

I'm going to add to the confusion with my new acrylic nails company: Vinyl Me Press-ons. No relation.

Weyes Blood delay

Five years later and I'm still as bitter as I can be about it.

God I forgot about that. I remember preordering it the second it went live, way before it sold out, I getting chosen as the second group to get it. I was fucking fuming at that! I really should have canceled my membership right there

Yeah, uh, so when’s that doc filming?

Hi chiming in, if there is a hard lesson that the yarn community has learned over and over that may be applicable to this situation, it is never pre-order anything that is outside of your PayPal/Credit Card dispute window. Once that window closes and if your order is not fulfilled, there isn’t much you can do unless you got suing money.

If they have Private Equity/Investor money, they do not need your money for a record(s) that comes out in 6-9-12 months. They are not a mom and pop running out of their kitchen and that rule also goes for them too.

You think this is drama, I have read about many fake deaths, illnesses, etc over stolen yarn money.
