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

Different time and place and all that…and pretty sure they apologized for it later. But still a wild song

Yeah I think they're on record saying their beliefs changed. But man, can you imagine if that song made the record? It'd probably make an all-time classic unlistenable these days. One rare instance where record company censorship was a positive.

It's bad enough trying to listen to Doom's Born Like This with the awful Batty Boyz on there.
 
Just to add some balance to the force. After they dropped the price of The Low End Theory earlier in the week I emailed to ask if they’d refund the difference between my pre-order price ($49) and the offer price. Which they’ve just done. I know VMP can be a bit odd as a company at times but their CS is, in my experience, pretty quick and usually spot on.

Was the "all past AotM at $36" limited? ATCQ is back at $49 and Dorothy's seems to be sold out :(

Seems the preorder price at $36 was a mistake so they changed it? The in stock one should be $36 for the rest of June I tbink. Tribe may come into stock before June is over

This is a great album. If anyone sees it pop up cheaper elsewhere please tag me and I'll cancel my preorder. At 300 this should go fast and I think a lot of folks on here will like this one.
 
I'm generally not a conspiracy theorist so I have taken the "VMP is a failing business" discourse with a grain of salt. But if there is a sign that they are desperate for cash, to me the clearest one is all the fucking emails I get from them with subject lines like "Did something catch your eye?" "Your cart is lonely" "Last chance, your cart is expiring." No other company sends me such thirsty emails. It's embarrassing.

I get emails like that all the time. Mostly from vinyl purveyors

I don’t really buy anything but vinyl online.

It's the online equivalent of going into a store, knowing what you're looking for and like clockwork a sales employee shows up behind you like a vampire asking if they can help you with anything.

All the time.
At every store.

My inbox is probably like 90% this, when all I want to do is just add something to my cart to check just how many internal organs I need to sell in order to afford shipping costs to Canada.

As soon as they get your email, you're fucked.

Yeah I get that other companies do this, just not with the frequency or aggressiveness of VMP. Using your analogy, it's like going to a store, browsing but not buying anything, driving home, and as you pull into the garage, VMP sits up in the backseat like "are you SURE you don't want to buy that box set you spent 12 seconds looking at???"
