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

It was essentially a TBT mixed with trivia. They had a bunch of titles (some with 1 copy, some with 5 copies, etc.) Storf or Pauly would tell you a title, how many copies they had and the original MSRP. Then they asked a question (i.e. what was the first true VMP exclusive title) and the first person to answer it correctly would be able to buy that title at original MSRP. If they had 5 copies, the first 5 people with the right answer would win, etc.

They had a few Willie titles like Both Sides Now and I believe 1 copy of The Words Don't Fit the Picture, one of the MIA releases, one copy of Pearl Jam Yield, two signed Paul Cauthen LPs and a bunch of other stuff. The only annoying thing was some people kept answering the questions and not wanting to actually buy the albums so then they would go to the next person who got it right. Tyler will apparently email those who won in the next day or two.

Think they will do this a few more times if it all goes well. There seem to be a bunch of things that have between 1-5 copies that are too few to do in TBT because of fear of overselling them.

I've been slammed between work and school lately so I haven't been paying any attention to what's been going on in the discord so I'm a little bummed I totally missed this. But... this sounds like a pretty neat idea and a fun way to sell any super duper low-quantity TBT records. I hope they keep doing it (and someone pings me to give me a heads-up so I don't miss it again).

Only thing with the quiz show to buy is that my definition of old stock is very different from theirs at this point. I'm there wanting Moses rising or Lost in the Dream and they've got Lukas Nelson. But fun for newer subscribers.

I don’t think there is gonna be much stuff that’s 8+ years old left at this point.

I’ll be interested in how they sell test pressings if they end up doing that…because they are gonna only have 3 or less of each title and a TBT would be a bloodbath

I believe they said they were gonna try to do it 4 or 5 more times. Will try to tag ya when they announce the next one!
 
Pretty happy with my Swaptions this month. Hopefully CCR doesn't sell out, might add a 3rd track for it since my membership lapses on the 1st.

Bummed to be missing out on Jimmy Scott and Psychic Chasms next month but neither of those feel worth $60 on a month-to-month, they only feel worth it on the Yearly track but I am NOT giving VMP $600 up front, not after this year's curation and drama.

I swapped for the Dolly and Billy Joe Shaver so I could get bang for my buck.

Almost did that, but already have them and wasn't sure I'd break even with those at my local. Ended up going with Sigur Ros. I have it on black wax but my copy is a little noisy at parts, so figured maybe it would be an upgrade. I'd have done credit if my sub wasn't expiring Jan 1.
