From July to December is not a delay, it is putting it back at the end of the queue of records to press.

I believe they had more records than jackets or something like that originally? Or more jackets than records? But yea —seems maybe they pushed this repress back. Wonder if it had the lowest preorder numbers so they pushed it?

Yet again, the frustration of a preorder date coming and going before VMP even communicates that there’s a 5 month delay.

I don't know about Jolene but TLCs sold pretty well. FanMail shows as "almost gone" while the other is already on waitlist. Might be a record they planned to press at their factory or they made a deal with RTI to press other stuff (Impulse box?) and push TLCs.

5 months is just a LONG time for a delay for an album that already has plates cut…and it went on sale 3 months ago or something?

I think FanMail was pressed to order right? So would make sense it’s low stock as they only probably pressed a limited amount of extra copies. I get the delays with stuff that was meant to be pressed at the plant but…All around just weird with some of these other delays. the plant news was known in March

For us, public. I hope they knew about this situation way before that.
 
I started some kind of game on Discord now. Everytime I can, I tend the use the word "time" in one of my post and there is always an old forum member who comes with the "what would they do with more time" sentence. It feels like showing your member card to someone you don't know.

This should not cause a 5 month delay. I can solve this in five minutes: send everyone one record and one jacket, take the remaining jackets and burn them. Or thrown them in the trash. Or recycle them. Hell, send me two jackets I don't care. They should hire me.

As for me, I would have put remaining Lapsley and Da Brat copies in Dolly Partons's sleeves. Then wait for complaints, then say "oh damn' it's Shopify again! Bad Shopify!". Say new copies would be repressed and ask to kindly wait 6 months.

FWIW, they first offered it up for sale on February 1st. So it's now been 5 months and they just added another 5. And as you mentioned, the plates were already cut. Will be interesting to see how VMP tries to rationally explain this delay.

well now we know what VMP is gonna be sending you if you keep complaining!!!
 
Hey I just realized something and am short on time but they clocked up the plant so epically, they redefined cock up.

Think about it they packed for a plant they no longer have and will likely never use. Lost their executive team. And fubarred everything they do in the short term.

I am not sure Google is giving me the right translation for "cock up" EDIT: yeah, Linguee is better.

EDIT²: you might be right. In order to show that it was never meant to be THEIR plant, despite the name, they had to put an end to every contract with them?

It sorta seemed like the only people who wanted the plant, were the ones who got fired. It's gonna be really interesting to see A) how the lawsuit goes and B) how Paramount Pressings does. The fact that they were bankrolling a plant that they didn't even own equity in (apparently) is absolutely wild to me.
