Saw that earlier. No surprise there. They warned us at the old place they were working on a new policy. Still. I wasn’t expecting that kind of message from CS.

Usually at the bottom of their replies they ask for members’ comments about CS. I would definitely complain about the tone and content of that message.

A new policy I expected. It still feels a little condescending with them explaining that they can't deliver everything in a "satin-laced" box, as if it's unrealistic to expect things not to arrive damaged. But... I guess that's not surprising anymore, either

As bad as it is, I could have sworn somebody else got a similar message in the old forum. @Heath maybe? Maybe something related to the Digable Planets fiasco where they implied that he should be grateful for all the times he’s been taken care of instead of being mad about one oversold item, or something like that?*

*that’s a total paraphrase, please nobody quote this version as gospel until @Heath corrects the record.

Too late. You typed it out. It happened. And yikes!

that does sound right, the general story is right can't remember if the specifics are
 
Well... since this is still the VMP Exclusives thread, I will say that they've, pretty much, solidified their spot as little more than the latest Newbury with this Who Sampled? bundle.

I think it's interesting that it's being referred to as a Who Sampled? Collab, so it isn't as obvious that they're just doing variants of Mr Bongo titles AGAIN, but maybe that's also in hopes that nobody realizes how cheap they can get them directly through the label. $32 a piece for each of these single LPs?!!

Skull Snaps is about $22.99 through Mr Bongo
Incredible Bongo Band is only about $20.99 w/obi.

That's a crazy markup for a different color that you have to wait until at least July for, while the others are readily available right now.

You could probably even find a cheap copy fo the Gospel According To Zeus from a shop with RSD leftovers, if you didn't feel like paying the $24.99 from Mr Bongo.

I finally bit the bullet on that Slits exclusive. I kept going back to it on Spotify and decided at $10 I needed to go ahead and add it to my stacks!

Have been eyeing it too and Bratmobile. Wish they had done a bundle with those two and Coathangers Live.

It's really good. I probably should have bought the Milano when it was $10, but I was never sure that I even liked it that much. For me and what I enjoy, the Slits and the Sister Gertrude Morgan are no brainers. I already had the Sister Gertrude and still bought another copy for someone. The King Tuff didn't last long, but that was a steal, too.

The Slits is great, though

I emailed a long reply, the body of which I posted in this thread in reply and also cc’ed the CEO. I have yet to hear a response.

I just watched a doc about them a couple nights ago on Hulu. It was inspiring and heartbreaking.

Oh damn! Thanks for the reminder. I've been wanting to see that

My pleasure! I wasn't even aware of it until i just so happened to stumble upon it looking for something quick to watch before bed... Suffice it to say, I ended up staying up later than I had planned.

Worth it.

It played out here, maybe for a film festival or something. I missed it, though. I heard it was streaming somewhere, but totally spaced it and probably wouldn't have remembered until it was way too late, so I appreciate it. I might watch it tonight
