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

How much you guys think they kept as replacement fodder?

I think I vaguely remember hearing they generally keep 10% for replacements.

Why would they lie? They sent out an email announcing its release and it's a pretty well thought of album. Some were wondering on Reddit if that was too few and that it could've been a RHH ROTM.

Did I say they lied about anything? I just said its fishy. Yah its a well thought of album but its from '95, has a solid and readily available repress, and most people who love it already have it. I just don't see where this crazy demand is coming from.

It's a pretty color & they have a dedicated audience. Eric Dolphy sold out in a month or so while Newbury's variant of the same record sat in the store for YEARS

Normally I might agree. But it’s not like titles are selling out left and right the day they become available. That’s a pretty rare occurrence, that is generally reserved for big time albums or highly anticipated new releases. This is definitely the former and should have been a RHH AOTM.

Don't forget about the random 15 or so copies that they will find the next time they run a warehouse inventory sometime in the next 2 or 3 years.

Newbury sucks, though. I'm not sure what the Eric Dolphy example has to do with this one. Not exactly apples to apples. Was there a limit per customer on this one? I didn't check.

Ended up re-signing up and swapping to Gorillaz so I could buy The Infamous. Don't have Mobb Deep so didn't want to pass it up

 

[NewsFedora]

Wow. I... did not expect that to go so fast.

The huge hype surrounding it since the preview page went up made me think it’d sell out within a day. I think the hot fire color variant really did push it over as a super fast seller.

It seems fishy as fuck to me that a readily available hip-hop LP sold 1000 copies in 2 hours.

That’s the way it goes around here though. The rap exclusives seems to sell the fastest and a lot of the rap fans don’t care about pressing details, which is evident by the r/hh track selling out quite often when they are just varients.

I do care, but I bought it anyway, since it’s a favorite that I don’t have on wax. Hopefully it’s a decent pressing.

Was there a limit per customer on this one?

5 per.

I had to grab one after I saw that. Shit goes super fast when they open it to sharks.

 

[BazookaTooth]

5 per.

It’s because that album is

In my opinion, it is, along with Raekwon Only built For Cuban Linx and GZA’s Liquid Swords, the best East-Coast hip-hop album of 1995!

 

[radiodead]

I wonder how many record stores gobble these up.

 

[BradwiseBeats]

5 per.

Well that explains it then.

Opening it up to 5 per person is crappy. 2 per would make sense so you could buy an extra for a buddy. No one needs to buy 5 of one title.

You'll find out when they suddenly appear for sale on Tuesday August 25, 2020.

Curious how Beck is selling. Wonder if it lasts through the weekend.

Copies already up on eBay for double the price.

Appears I owe you an apology as there was something fishy. The fishy was allowing flippers to buy up to 5 copies so it sold out faster.
