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

I have my year long membership through November I think. Can’t cancel and get a refund on a membership. I have Impulse and I think one other item on preorder with the 40% off and used full store credit on it. So if those never come to fruition, I spend nothing on them. It was all member referral credit, not swap credit.

For some reason people take this suit as VMP is going bankrupt. I truly doubt they are. They likely just want out of the plant now.

Im pretty sure VMP will survive this. I still have a three month essentials sub and two tracks. But being as exposed as I was with the amount of pre orders I had was giving me agita. I wouldn’t feel that way if it hadn’t been for the years long delays on two boxes that I really want.

They would have been so much smarter to wait till something had been pressed there and then told everyone. Or you know pressed something and then put it up for sale.

Literally anything -- a bunch of promo 7" records. A rising artist no one's heard of. Shit, those fucking 7" Chalino records would have been a killer intro and then if it takes 9 mmonths to get going and you have some QC issues you can hand wave them off as growing pains or a learning curve or whatever.

Probably not bankrupt but they certainly flew too close to the sun. It’s clear they took on the adage ‘if you’re not growing, you’re dying’ and it backfired. Plenty of labels do fine just existing, I think they need to scale back closer to that model.

If venture capitalists are involved just existing isn’t good enough. Shareholders are expecting high return on investment.

I don’t understand his complaint, “they have silly names for their colors so the quality has gone down”? Prices going up is def an issue, especially for international subscribers but quality? If anything it’s gotten better (at least in my case, ymmv, I know some folks have major issues)

Guess he’s gotta make videos about something…he doesn’t care where records are pressed but just cares about attention to detail that goes into the pressings…but the good plants are the ones that pay attention to detail lol. Guy’s a bozo.

He was really really in love with VMP.
I could only make it to 3:15, but I knew right away that he was devastated.

I mean… he is at a place that a lot of us get to… you think you are a music fan and then you get all this new stuff thrown at you and you gobble it up and then you realize that maybe you don’t need someone to curate everything for you. They are great for new music fans or people new to vinyl.

I mean he buys ERC he was never really gonna be happy with any GZ records.

I guess, but I don’t see him arguing that they’ve somehow gotten worse; he says his leaving predates the news about the plant, but this is kind of weird logic
