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


Yeah. This doesn't look good. I looked the list over and thought, "Oh, at least my Black Keys preorder doesn't have that note: 'Current Timeline/USM is TBD."

Then I noticed the pattern; EVERYTHING that was supposed to ship in January 2025 has that note, so I can only guess once February 1 comes, we'll see it attached to a lot more things.

The full note for Black Sabbath reads: "Current Timeline/USM is TBD. Pressing & Print Complete. Pending shipment from label."

They forgot to add "Pending payment by VMP" to the end. At this point, that really can be the only reason for the continued delays.

They’ve been shilling some bs story (read: I agree with you) about how all Warner albums have to be shipped to Warner and then to them. This has been used as the excuse for the continued delays in the Dead box.
 
Have all the ROTM been at GZ till now?

I bet…. We see that none of these new “ROTM” are pressed at GZ. Smaller print runs at other plants would be a way to keep moving if GZ was like… um guys, we can’t float you anymore credit.

Kind of like when I quit my last restaurant job several months before they shuttered the doors. We were no longer getting produce deliveries. I had to go to Costco every morning and took money from the till to pay for the trip… when my second paycheck bounced… so did I.
 
I have a feeling my Dead Box will never ship. It's coming up on 2 years. There is no excuse at this point other than they have no cash. They can try an rework the model all they want, but the damage to what little reputation they had is done and permanent. If you can't ship product people have paid for in a reasonable timeframe, consumer confidence is gone. Death spiral. No way this company is in business beyond 2025.

I bet you're right. That's why the 500 copies of Little Beaver is being pressed at "Night Kitchen Record Pressing."
