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

Jan said:
What I find perplexing is that the first record they put out under the new system ( a would-be classics rotm) is first dropped in store, than comes as a swap option for those with a subscription sometime later( don't know which day swaps open) to be delivered at the end of april at the earliest

This is a good title in a stupid situation. More picks like this would have kept the aotms afloat. But this feels very Judas Priest Bandbox to me.

The fact that the first drop is for April makes me think @duke86fan is 💯

What did they say?

The email mentioned Max Roach to be limited to 2,000 units. I asked Paul about this and if things were going to be re-pressed again at later dates and he basically said no. I don't think he's the person that could provide the best answer to this question, but he said that old titles being re-pressed was a priority of "the old guard" and that the current team doesn't have that as a priority moving forward.


2,000 seems pretty low for what they're calling a "flagship" title for their catalog. Maybe it's all they can afford, or maybe they're trying to stoke the fomo again and have things sell out to draw interest.

I wasn't able to listen the entire time but it sounds like it's not crazy out of line for a lot of classics

I was going to say that. That pressing is mastered by Bernie Grundman and actually sounds pretty good if you get a decent copy. Whoever presses those Candid issues is pretty unreliable. I think every one I've received has been warped and required my pulling out the Vinyl Flat. Once I get 'em flat, they're not bad. And because the pressing quality is inconsistent, they're available for pretty cheap at a lot of places. I think Acoustic Sounds has this one and a few others for less than $15. Can't imagine paying $49 for this.

I have no basis of how many subscribers they have in each track, but I'm sure they've all gone down significantly in the last 2-5 months.

If 2,000 is about average for classics, then it should hit swaps easily unless they start with the "almost gone!" bullshit when they have tons of copies.

The only things I'd want would be winner by overcoats or those days are over by wilsn but I can't participate in PIF because I don't have anything to offer and I wouldn't feel good about taking something from the PIF thread without offering something first.

Post over in the PIF thread - ask what everyone else thinks. I am a-okay with adding you in. Will leave it up to the others to decide.

I imagine that they have a lot of subscribers and renewals that they picked up in 2023 with bonus albums decided to let their subs lapse in 2024. No incentive to rejoin/renew, especially with such a massive price increase.
