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

The discord seems to be eerily quiet this week..

i mean, makes sense. you aren't paying for international shipping.

"free shipping" ain't free.

Its substantially less and I mean they also aren’t just magically teleported to Ireland in small quintiles by the fairies.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

My local is now stocking their stuff and it’s substantially less than I was paying as an international sub lol.

€38.99 1LP
€47.99 2LP

But how many copies of that Tennis album do you need?

Right--but its economies of scale. Member pricing pretty much includes unlimited shipping to international members each month (considering their lack of bundling). I'd bet that there's a minimum order amount for VMP wholesale stuff and if it costs $25 for me to mail you a single record, it's not costing VMP $250 to send a box of 10 LPs (or maybe it does and that's why they got rid of internationals hah).

I'm not shocked by the pricing of this stuff overseas from wholesalers. I do feel bad for some of the people who bought stuff like The Love Movement for $80 or whatever only to see if for $40 in the US at retail.

Looks like they might be doing Tender Buttons by Broadcast as a ROTM next quarter? There's a pic of Trish Keenan on the back of the hints page in the new zine.

Yeah that’s the word on the street. I say you can save $30-$40 dollars and get the current reissue which sounds epic

One of my favorite records to crank! And the quieter moments like “Tears In The Typing Pool” are fantastic and crispy as well

Staff has been quiet. Getting ready to be towards the end of the fulfillment window. I expect an email on Friday with “more big news” meant to “improve” their service or an update on some more bullshit as to why orders didn’t get out on time.

Warp is a label that cares about vinyl. It seems like everything that label puts out on wax sound exceptional.

If they continue to stock new releases from them everyone wins then

I think they’ve been clever. Unlike HHV they haven’t taken all the shite. They’ve picked about 8 that will sell well here, Joni being the newest. I don’t see them stocking every ROTM or exclusive made available.

Ditto, first thing this morning. But no replacement ODB for me yet. [Edit:] because, why bundle?!

Didn’t they cancel yours or was that Sabbath?

They canceled and refunded my Sabbath.
They refunded this order, but clearly didn't cancel it.
Us internationals continue to ruin it for everyone.

I mean my order stuff says they never shipped my the Harlan cover album by Willie (but they did). I’m tempted every once and a while to ask for an update on it for shits and giggles.
