Press is smelling blood in the water. Please note that the final product may not look like the image and might look closer to mud

Nothing about that quote makes sense. It seems to attribute the comeback to VMP.

Well, her reps don't want facts to ruin a good story. The focus of the story was that the album had a mega % increase in sales, thus renewed interest in Joni, etc. Not telling everyone that subscribers had the LP curated for them vs. 4k people suddenly stormed the gates to buy it proactively was not conducive to the press.

I think I may go back to Magnolia to be honest, seems like a bargain for $336 a year comparatively to VMP.

True. In fact, the Joni catalog reissue series with lacquers cut by Grundman and broadly available on vinyl and digital are much more responsible.

And 3600 units sold is far from a mega increase. Back in the day, a cutout would get better numbers.

"Early next week" was the last update from Storf on discord. He said the culprit was a 3-day holiday weekend (which set them back two weeks????) and "ROTM delays", the latter of which is news to me. I guess they did not, in fact, have all the ROTMs in-house at the start of the month?

I mean to be fair who could have anticipated labour day, it's not like it comes around every year.

-checks notes-

Oh. Well fuck-a-doodle-do.

I guess it was inevitable, but someone suggested a mystery track. Random shit to you monthly at a “discounted” price.

was offered for sale on vinyl—as the company’s name suggests—for subscribers only.

What??

Is it the Vinyl, the Me, or the Please that "suggests" "for subscribers only" ?

I think they were trying to say the vinyl was implied by the name Vinyl Me Please.

What a weird piece of journalism this is. Pretty much just reporting on angry internet commentary with no actual substance.
Like just putting it out there so when VMP eventually folds they can claim they reported on the issues in Sept 2024.
