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

The 2025 slate is still murky

I’d do the same. If my outstanding orders weren’t paid for entirely with referral credit, I would have cancelled the ALS box, Toussaint and the Fela box by now. I’m not convinced that these things are going to be pressed or shipped. There’s just nothing in stock that I want either so may as well just stick to those preorders.

The dead one makes no sense to me. It was on the presses months ago. How has it not shipped? Only explanations are the sleeves aren’t done (which would be on brand for VMP to forget to order the sleeves) or they couldn’t pay to release the order yet from RTI.

That Dead box is the last item that VMP needs to fulfill for me. My sub ends in January. I’m toying with canceling for good. Which is a shame but the 2025 q1 hints are not appealing enough for me to deal with these headaches.

I’d have resubbed but as m an international they actually binned me off. And apparently did me a massive favour in the process

I think at this point you probably understand the risk but if it were me, I would be requesting a cancel/refund. If they go belly up you won’t be getting a refund or a box set. Most of those albums are now in print and sound fantastic. If they ever do restock the title you could order the box set then but I wouldn’t want to be the one left holding the bag.

There are PLENTY enough GREAT sounding Dead options for these titles. Waiting for VMP may end up being the equivalent of standing at the dock waiting for the Titanic to arrive.

This. You can build a great dead box for a fraction of the price. The “podcast” is bad but also free to access if you really want it.

Everything in the Dead box is, or has been within the past few years, readily available in great quality. The regular catalog releases are Bellman cuts that are the original tapes through the plangent process and are great reissues. The Mofis of the main two studio albums are reasonably available and the Rhino Hi Fi American Beauty is fantastic. There is no reason to get the box. You can find all 8 albums for probably around $250-300 if you try.
 
Since the 1 thing I know I'd get with the Impulse code is excluded. Any ideas what to use a 40% code on? Was thinking maybe one of the repressed essentials like Charles Bradley but open to ideas

I think the issue at the time was that Europe 72 was a bit difficult to track down and Without a Net hadn’t been issued at the time (assuming Warfield RSD was the sub for Reckoning). But yeah. It seems pointless now given everything is on general release. And the first press was plagued with QC issues.
