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

These delays are insane. I just checked my orders. Only two exclusives I'm waiting on. Angel Olsen (not delayed... yet) and TLC. How the F has that not shipped yet? And it's not shipping till Nov? Wasn't that originally set for August.

I naturally cut way back on exclusives, but the constant delays I'm seeing from everyone does not inspire me to commit to any future ones.
This is why I never got the "We're going to post exclusives as soon as we know about them......." and delivered god knows when.

Yeah, I mean I'm fine with a pre-order. But constantly failing to meet delivery dates for multiple months is insane. I feel like when most other companies miss a shipping date, it's by like a week. Once VMP misses it, it's already a month. One month is whatever from time to time. Things happen, I get it. But when it becomes "when is the last time something shipped on time" it's a little crazy talk.
 
I'm DEFINITELY in the minority here, but I am sick of the VMP focus on jazz. I wish they'd try other freaking genres as exclusives, like metal. When was the last time we had an exclusive metal album?
Was it the Thou release several months ago? Unfortunately it didn’t seem like that was super popular. Not that all the Jazz releases have been super popular either those avant-garde releases seem to stick around too.

it's actually been around for about a year now considering it released sept 2018

 
I asked storf a while back about doing something like this
In recent AMA on Reddit he suggested other ROTM tracks seem unlikely as there is too much work involved. He suggested that they’d be more likely to explore styles/genres through the Anthology model.

I think they should just hire a couple more people to curate titles. Lord knows, their prices suggest they could probably handle a few more on the payroll.

Hell, I'd even take one for the team and curate some metal picks. It'd be like working for the devil but at least I could try to get more metal to some people.
 
Yusef mock-up looks neat, but it uses the same blotchy/blobby splatter pattern as the Denzel Curry "Zuu" mock-up, which ended up looking a lot more disappointing and plain in person. I foresee a LOT of disappointment and complaints about the accuracy of the mock-up once that Yusef album ships five months from now
 

I found one other exclusive of the same album, similarly priced


Edit: and this, as well, so they're going with a theme
