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

With all the issues shipping anything it was a stroke of pure genius for them to spend money on redesigning their mailers to remind us of this. I bet they hired a consulting firm for this gem.

And with Neon Indian in hand I'm officially done with VMP again.

I am waiting for my last box but, just in case, they sent me the January swap preview. A preview I have been unable to see in the last couple of months and in which I am not interested since they don't want my €uros.

I am surprised if there are those who ordered Fela and the Dead and still haven't asked for refunds.
With 25 titles still outstanding, I am guessing there's a cash flow issue trying to get all of that pressed and in hand.

I looked at this out of curiosity and realized I have two of these on preorder (Bright Mississippi and Jolene).

Wonder if I’ll ever see them!

That lack of tact, combined with how much of a cesspool Reddit can be, further combined with the understandable frustrations with a dying company that can’t ship records on time, explains perfectly what happened. Not to justify in any way and I don’t blame any of them from walking away from socials.

Hey but they shipped me a Zine without even asking for it.

VMP aka Vinyl Me Please, a "premium" record label dedicated to nice vinyles releases...but too expensive (we'll probably stop ordering them in 2025)... SO -24% discount in our Balades Sonores advent calendar...

So yeah, International shops are already regretting buying stuff from VMP... Sad.

Having a skull with the Vinyl Me, Please name plastered on it feels particularly on the nose.

Not shocked. Not sure how much name recognition is there overseas. And price can’t be cheap with shipping and import fees for titles that people want.

Apparently they are " busy reimagining the ROTM experience to make it more flexible, personal, and packed with the thrill of discovery."

Something feels weirdly sus about that

Was just coming to post this. Feels like the wheels have already come off and it's just skidding from the momentum of members finishing out their subs. Plus hilarious discount code.

Writing has been on the wall for awhile, but this reads like they don't have releases lined up due to cash flow, licensing, etc, etc, etc. This seems like marketing spin. VMP is cooked. Feels like a death spiral to me. I wouldn't be signing on long term or preordering anything going forward if you like money.
