Nothing is being offloaded...just some of the future ones like Carolina Chocolate Drops will be a ROTM instead of part of the series. I believe it actually makes them cheaper especially if you're doing a swap. All the ones that have already gone on sale are staying as store drops.
Store drops that aren't selling well. The contract still needs to be fulfilled. That's exactly what offloading is.
Wow, I’m fucking STOKED. Was just listening to my press last week and thought it’s lacking sound wise. Wonder if it’s a true VMP exclusive or a variant of a larger repress
They aren't doing all of the titles anymore, so pretty sure that's not true about the contract/offloading. I personally don't see how this is anything like Album Circle.
Exclusive cut to VMP.
I wouldn't expect you to. No offense but no one carries more water for VMP since Mr emoji stopped posting than you do around here. And I wasn't saying it meant things were dire there, but it certainly is a way for them to shuffle things that benefits them more than their customers. We already know that you disagree, which is fine, but I'd stake a hefty bet on that being the reason for the change. And that has nothing to do with a paper bag.
And let me just say that I love their product more often than not too. I want them to succeed, but they still do stupid shit that ignores their customers all the time.
Was just making a joke about the Album Circle paper bag thing. Not saying you were thinking they are going out of business or anything. I remember opening up the album circle box and just thinking WTF is this.
Absolutely agree. But can't say I'm all that shocked. We have 10 years of data at this point and many things haven't changed in how the company is run, how they communicate, and the stupid errors they make.
So you’re saying my hat needs a few extra layers of $3.89 tinfoil to work?
We can beam the thoughts in and still choose to make most people idiots, lol.
Gotta put a secret hidden later of Saran wrap between the foil. That's the trick.
Except they have to increase quantity
That's exactly it. Now they'll sell way more of them then they would have otherwise.
I imagine they had to redo their agreements with Nonesuch to go from 1,000 to whatever the monthly numbers are.
I mean if it wasn’t selling, moving it to rotm doesn’t make any sense. Not selling 1000 copies is way different from running off subscribers and/or a bunch of people swapping - which they have already alluded to being concerned about. {CCD probably should have always been a country album (now I’m thinking this might be their “bluegrass” trio - I’m a have to school Storf if it is)}
I’m all onboard with VMP here. If people won’t listen to the Paragon stuff of their own volition then make it a RotM and make everyone listen to them.
don't give them any ideas!!
i think the plant dying (and anything financial ramifications along with that) made them realize that they need to scale back a lot of stuff and maybe have some more focus.
Can you imagine the ‘Why Storff Picked This’ copy
