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

Who has only listened to With Dim Light once?

Me!

I grabbed it a couple of nights ago and gave it a second spin, then a third, then a fourth and today a fifth and so on...

It's a ripper, I'm hooked like I should've been months ago.

I grabbed it a couple of nights ago and gave it second spin, then a third, a fourth a bit later on right now a fifth.

Oh man, the Guruguru records were amazing. Very glad I picked those up. With Dim Light is my favourite of the bunch.

My NTR is so clear that it's actually transparent, I literally can't see it... Still waiting for my first copy, I have two records on my way and both are still in the US. I asked yesterday what shipping method they used for the second shipment (apparently first got lost) and Jason answered me that they used the same method as usual. When I said that it was another miss from VMP, that they could have shipping using an express shipment, he apologized and offered $10 in credits... Thank you Jason.

yeah, they decided not to upgrade US ones either, in fact, it was "ordered" prior to the change to media mail so they had a chance to manually upgrade it but instead left it as SmartPost

Yeah, I concur. My favourite has been 'House In The Tall Grass' and Gypsy House gets some deck time also, its just taken a bit longer for this one to kick in, but it's now my favourite. It's the best bundle I purchased from VMP by far.

 

[Souljacker]

Got my THIRD Nat Turner today. The worst of the bunch. First track skipped so much I didn’t even listen to the entire thing. Insanity at this point to ask for another copy. Just gonna send me the same thing. Just send me a copy of Soul Makossa and be done with it.

And I'm here, still waiting for my first one to arrive.

I hear you man...still waiting for my first copy also. I haven't taken this sort of shit from an online retailer ever, but somehow let VMP do it over and over again...that forum had some very special powers!!!

 

[Delta Don]

So I got THE email.

The pick a free and come back...

Don't think anyone needs to worry about not getting this if they want it. Their whole model is just strange right now.

 

[radiodead]

Jay Som announced a new record. Maybe a VMP sclusie??

 

[panino]

what a relief, VMP is no longer in my life.
following the new exclusive delays debacle, I simply and easily cancelled my orders of Crumb and Weyes Blood.
50+ USD are back in my pocket, to be spent elsewhere!

so much for not repressing

Man, all these delays and problems are depressing. Maybe part of their reasoning for shutting down the forum was that they knew that had a big streak of production problems that was about to his the streets. I don’t get many exclusives, but Morby came on time, but warped.

Either way, the pre-order situation is inline with several of the decisions since Demon Days: cash first, customers second. It’s been an obvious MO for awhile now. I’m certain investors got involved to push these charges. Unfortunately VMP’s execution level is like that of an intern that got promoted because he fit in, not because he was qualified.

something I plan to talk to Matt about, we set up a phone call (staff asked a few people who were unhappy about the Anthology stuff for phone calls) I was hesitant to accept at first, but decided after a cool down period to accept

Wow, I’m actually very impressed by them doing that. I think the anthology is probably a bit of a higher stakes bet for them, so glad to see they are giving it more attention. I’d love to hear how that conversation goes.

I haven't been following the Anthology rollout at all, can someone summarize the issues?

cd front and back on Dexter which is a lot different from the LP, after an outcry they are reprinting the sleeve, Horace has the wrong channeling on the label but that won't be corrected, also some are upset about barcodes being added

Yeah got my Nat finally, it's dished but with my clamp it plays fine, no skips. I'm inclined to ask for credits for the dish because honestly just GET IT RIGHT ONCE JUST FREAKING ONCE PLEASE FACK

I mean you can ask for credits but remember:

"Some of these things are normal and are not considered to be damaged. If you are ever unsure, please email us and we’ll help determine what’s normal and what’s not."

In other words, if you always get warped records then warped records are normal and if it's normal then it's not damaged and if it's not damaged then:
