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

Wish I could come with you mate! It would be so fun and cute lol 🙊

I’m going to do some record shopping this weekend actually! There’s a place in the city that has the RSD Robyn’s Body Talk in stock and a limited edition vinyl of Blood Orange’s record that dropped this year! 🕺💃

How’s the record shopping over in Queensland? You got some good places over there with decent prices and with a good range? 🤔

Queensland!!!
I'm on the north coast of NSW (surrounded by bushfires at the moment). I have a business trip to Hobart, so am going to visit a couple of stores down there, Tommy Gunn and Rare Grooves. In saying this, I could be tempted to pop back into VMP to pick up When the Pawn if it drops. Its the only FA I don't own and probably my favourite. I'd been going to VMP flippers for my VMP releases, but ironically, they're becoming as dodgy as VMP, but with price, rather than reliability and integrity.

Let me know when you come to Melbourne for a business trip! If you come by yourself, I’ll take you out for dinner! 😋😃

So cute that you have your fave stores over in Hobart! It’s actually really cute that you’re like a country boy and go to Tassie and love visiting your record stores! ♥️

Oh, silly me! You’re in NSW, not Queensland! 🤦‍♂️

Also, i’ve heard about those bushfires. All the best, I hope all gets under control and I hope all is good with you!🤞Good luck! 😘
 
Just on the Fiona - The Idler Wheel..' page that @AudioAce highlighted and its a shame to see that its not 45rpm to match Tidal. Im still going to cop it though, I know some of you guys have said that the $32 is a bit on the high side but for the UK I would say thats the going rate, especially when you include shipping costs.

Anyone have any idea when its going to drop? I sent an email to CS making out like I was upset to have missed it (hoping they will let me know its not available yet and when they are going to release it for sale)

I’m wondering about these Fiona pressings since there is no pressing quantity....would it be more advantageous to wait for swaps at some point?

This is one of those situations where if you really want the record then its not worth the risk IMO. If you missed this because of limited numbers, you can bet your ass that it would be really expensive on the resale market, the OG goes for around £100
 
Sorry for asking something that has certainly been discussed, but I've been out of the loop for a few days... do we have a summary of what the expected drops are this week?

A little disappointed that Fiona doesn’t look like it will get the same treatment as Tidal. 1 LP at GZ is so lazy. I would gladly pay $40 for a top remaster on 2 LPs or at least three sides with an etching or something.

Not surprised. I think they can put out whatever they want and it will still fly off the shelves given the pent up demand. I guess her people are probably looking at this as a way to double dip down the line on a remaster for the next anniversary. I think they've seen what they can do with Tidal and that there's still enough demand for Fiona Apple. I don't think VMP really cares either.

Me too, I would happily pay around $40 for a top remaster too. Like a great half-sped remaster! 1LP would be my preference, but just a high-quality pressing of it!

Sometimes @NathanRicaud i think you have more money than sense. Thats Mofi money, VMP will never be that good.

Agree. VMP pulls out some magic from time to time, but even when they do it's still not as consistent as Mofi. I've NEVER had to contact Mofi about a warp. I've never had to clean a mofi more than once when it was new. I don't have to replace Mofi sleeves. Even in VMP's finest moments, they are not $40 for a single LP good. Most no one is, but certainly not VMP.

Edit - I will make one exception. I would pay $40 for the VMP's Pinkerton. It's perfectly flat, sounds perfect, looks cool, and that pop up jacket is super unique. That is the one case and when I would have gladly paid $40 for a 1LP from VMP. Again - unique exception. And I don't think I would have purchased at that price without already knowing it strong reviews.
