I'll spin Daniel Norgren's Skogens Frukter, the release of which led me to VMP for the first time in early 2017.
Scanning discogs, I have 125 VMP exclusives in the collection. All killer, no filler as the saying goes, though I have sold off and PIF'd some that were bought due to FOMO. I finally quit my on and off membership for good in 2023, though I have found a few 2024 releases from other sources.
In the end, they just couldn't seem to get out of their own way, but it was a damn good run for a while there.

You’re not a monster, the people that don’t say “l-o-l” are the monsters.

If/when the day comes VMP goes under, my tribute record I'll spin will be the very first one I ever got from them: Mm.. Food.

I guess Wilco - AM because that’s what drew me in? Or assuming I get the Morgan reissue, that because it will be the last thing I get from them.

I'm probably most upset about their seemingly inevitable demise because I was hoping and holding out that they would do a VMP version of Outkast: Aquemini and complete the collection of what to me what are the 4 true Outkast albums.

One of the best things to come out of the long sordid history of VMP will be this vinyl forum. It was a great moment when everyone came together in just a few short days to save this community and created Needles&Grooves.
So….When the axe finally falls and the VMP lawyers are pleading the court for an extension will the judge look down and ask, “What would you do with more time anyway?”

Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die is what got me into the club and really one of the main things that encouraged my record habit.
Whenever the ship goes down, that will have to be the music.
Thinking back there have been quite a few releases that feel definitive from VMP. I remember the 23 dollar add ons and how much I was able to grow my collection and tastes at the time.
Even late last year when I joined to swap for the Gospel Truth Box set, I enjoyed the products. The value just wasn't quite the same

I read somewhere they were supposed to update the production calendar this week. Guess they are either waiting til the last minute or it's not happening. If I don't see an update on that GD box soon I'm refunding. Not sure how Blue Note is on time now, while GD is still in limbo. There's no way it's shipping in January, I just want to see how much further its delayed.
I started my collection with Tha Carter III. I'll spin that and pour out a little.

I actually didn’t know N&G came from the old VMP forum. Thanks for learning me some niche internet history!

We panicked and started sharing literal email addresses, started a discord, and prayed we could get a replacement forum off the ground in a matter of days. Praise be to those who pulled it off.

If the first post-collapse spin isn’t Tabakin you’re wrong.
