Not the only Pascal N&G Poster. @Turbo is a Pascal too.

It’s no Derek, I think there are like a dozen of us on here.

@Turbo is Pascal at my house because my wife has met him. The rest of you are your handles (or in @TenderLovingKiller®'s case, a simplified TLK)

I will never tire of this.

My friend always names his cats Dave because of this.

My friend had a band in the 90s called Blaise Pascal. He was a mathematician so the name fit, plus the music was pretentious

Are you saying @Skalap is a pretentious mathematician?

My wife refers to you collectively as the nerds. Except for @Yer Ol' Uncle D , he’s my boyfriend.

Looking through the available inventory, it's crazy to see what is still in stock from the early days. I mean, Lapsley is still available?!

I subbed for three months. Have my eye on just a couple of things. Even though I think it said there were almost 500 titles available, I don't see much that I actually need.

Better believe the "VMP Crate" customers are gonna be meeting Lapsley real soon.

the crate members pay to have the right to buy things but get nothing. There’s a lot of subscribers who will be getting it. Based on their q&a - 1/2 to 2/3

This is what I’ve never understood… lapsley predates swaps and possibly crate. Did a bunch of monthly people just drop out?

I remember reading somewhere from one of their staff (I think it was Storf) that for a period of time, they really increased the numbers on the print runs and that era of VMP was when they had the largest and they adjusted downwards when they started having large amounts of dead stock. That’s why there’s a bunch from that era still available or that didn’t sell out until years later.

Right. That's how Crate worked before.

Yeah Lapsley was before Storf and before they got too big for their britches. Those were the stuff in the store will never cost more than like twenty bucks days. And summer yard sales where they paraded a bunch of stuff out for $5 or $10 dollars days. Hell, they basically still functioned like PBC… “hey can y’all get me the birthday blue ok computer?” “We’ll see what we can do.”

I think Lapsley and Torres (I’m sure that one’s still around) predate that era.

I do imagine that Lapsley which was after Wilco and Sabbath was a sign of their inability to scale. “Man a lot of people joined for those records, surely they’ll stay on for the other things we pick.”
