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

What made you think THEY referred to THEM? The pressing plant that THEY were advertising with the bar twice the size of the QC section was THEIRS very clearly and THEY put it in the magazines and on the THEIR website because THEY owned it but they never, ever said it was THEIRS.

So now it's not VMP pressing plant anymore? Like they won't be pressing THEIR exclusives and THEIR Anthologies at THEIR own pressing plant THEY built and for which THEY hired the best possible people?

Well it’s not wholly theirs is what they seem to be saying but the suit is somewhat vague. VMP is saying there’s no parent company that owns both the plant and VMP itself. And the suit seems to be saying that Cam was pushing this idea of VMP and the plant being one and the same but it’s not.

It sounds like the business had pretty poor controls

whaaaaat??

 

[Murfocakes]

Anyway over on Discord, I’m so excited for the release of Isaac Hayes Black Moses. It will definitely be to be the sleekest, sexiest, most fantastic, most luxuriating, VMP release ever!!!!

 

[highqualityrecords]

Oh, ABSOLUTELY FUCK THAT!!!

Thank you for the validation, I thought the same.

 

[LeeVing]

Just caught up with all these shenanigans. Glad I opted out years ago.

Storf this morning:

Far fewer represses moving forward. Madlib repress on Monday.

That’s understandable as the consequence of no longer having your own pressing plant, or at least one strongly affiliated with you.

MY INVESTMENTS!!!

How much of that money goes out the door almost instantly though. I thought they’d have at least 50k especially with the international market.

I don’t think they have as big a full time international subscriber base as maybe it might appear. As an international it’s very very expensive and their attitude towards us stinks. I’d say more than you’d imagine just dip in and out for selected releases.

Yeah, the prices are fucked for us international kids.

FWIW Storf has been saying “far fewer represses moving forward” with, like, the announcement of every new repress from the last six months or so.

This was in relation to a change in strategy with the plant no longer being a viable path for repressing titles. But, yes.

The cracks are definitely showing, even reddit which tends to sway pro-VMP seems to be souring.

that...is not my impression of reddit's userbase general attitude toward vmp

 

[bdm105]

It is kinda crazy the hedge fund/private equity folks tied to vmp didn't want to vertically integrate with the plant. All the mba buzzwords usually are easy sells

 

[Rowan]

They’ve a load of listings saying that they’ll still be pressed at Vinyl My Plant. Has anything actually been pressed there or can they just not be arsed to update the website?

This is the Ashby repress (for examples sake)

I posted a reddit comment yesterday saying the plant was pressing/running.

But it's not?

 

[Mather]

Well it's not pressing VMP stuff at the very least...

100% this. I thought about dipping back in for Little Richard, then realized it was $55 USD.

Still have Impulse! pending. Barring a great run of titles I really want, that would seem like a good final chapter on my time with VMP.
