Probably due to Thanksgiving, an unexpected event.
Maybe they thought America had nothing to give thanks for anymore…

If only there was some way for VMP to communicate delay issues... like an email or maybe even a page dedicated entirely to shipping timelines and delays.
I don't have that one. I swapped from essentials to the Sigur Ros album and it hasn't shipped yet.apparently its partially the hip hop ROTM that's having the issues.. i am finding no one has one and it seems to be holding up shipments...
so they never fucking told anyone and just let it act like "hey we got a big sale lets ignore the fact that its got a ton of stuff you want in the drain"
I have to say i will miss your frequent posts of disappointment. Please keep us dated with any other frustrations.Welp. Got Voodoo. Gotta say it's totally average, bass is bloated and the low res stream sounds better. Not impressed. Side two also has repetitive right channel crackle. One last VMP thing on order and then I'm done with this stuff...
I mean to be fair I haven't really had a lot of issues with most of the recent ROTMs but yeah I'm not impressed with this.I have to say i will miss your frequent posts of disappointment. Please keep us dated with any other frustrations.
Just throwing mine on. Need to properly clean it. A buncha noise on it but sounds like the kind the HG will get rid of…gotta give a listen to it after the clean. Definitely bass heavy but I don’t have a sub so doesn’t feel super bloated on my system one song in.Welp. Got Voodoo.

Yeah it's by no means a disaster or anything, it's just a very basic pressing that sounds worse than the CD quality stream, it's fine. But for the cost it should be far far better.Just throwing mine on. Need to properly clean it.

I generally think she does a great job, and I really have no idea what source she was working with here but yeah not my fav.cicely made another L?

I just got shipping notice on mine this afternoon. Y'all be putting me in a mood now.I will say, disc 2 is FILTHY.
It's fine, it just feels like something Fat Possum would put out for like $19.99. Not an actual VMP exclusive that generally has a bit more care to it. Cheap jacket, average sound.I just got shipping notice on mine this afternoon. Y'all be putting me in a mood now.
Yeah my Back to Back clears this VMP pressing, not to mention one of the LPs has the typical GZ edge warp, not even going to bother asking for another copy to be sent out. Just gonna eat this L with my plate of thanksgiving leftoversYeah it's by no means a disaster or anything, it's just a very basic pressing that sounds worse than the CD quality stream, it's fine.

Yep, agreed on all fronts.Yeah my Back to Back clears this VMP pressing, not to mention one of the LPs has the typical GZ edge warp, not even going to bother asking for another copy to be sent out. Just gonna eat this L with my plate of thanksgiving leftovers
There really isn’t anything that this press does better than the LITA or B2B pressings… underwhelming jacket, mastering is quiet so you have to crank it, the bass in the mix is just there, it makes itself heard but it doesn’t really add anything to the listening experience. Doesn’t really knock, just pushes everything else to the back. I actually don’t hate the color though I guess, but I won’t be holding onto this
