Someone on Reddit was sent a copy of the VMP Weyes Blood by Amazon.

Yes, two people on the discogs page got them from a local retailer and Amazon. Half the stock was sent out to various places

Yeah I know the situation, still pretty wild to see confirmation.

I specifically asked on discogs because that was before we got an official announcement

FWIW I just stuck in an Amazon order for the album, let's see if they're still sending them out...

I must check the copy I received from HHV.

 

[serotonein]

Or it’s $18.99 DIRECTLY FROM THE LABEL.

I was comparing the price of color variants, but yeah, VMP's markup over the basic black is still notable.

It would have the VMP sticker on the front

I did the same thing a month ago and got standard black.

I'm guessing the warehouses just got them pretty much randomly so I'm not holding out a whole lot of hope. Worst case I PIF it.

Indeed it's a pretty wild time to be alive.

Also is this for sure the VMP Weyes? I thought we were looking at white with peach?

This is it. It's definitely more of a smokey light gray with peach especially depending on how the light hits it

Know what’s funny? I ordered Phoenix’s WAP and Weyes Blood from VMP the same day in February. One of those has since been completely reissued as a ROTM (“not in the works back in February” apparently) and one of those still has yet to be (or may never be) received.

As suspected, VMP did raise the threshold for Low Stock status. Cochin Moon now carries the tag with 39 copies left. Not sure if it is worth discussing the low stock status if they are going to be less than transparent about what it exactly means.

FWIW, TLC's CrazySexyCool is off the list (added copies from breaking up the bundle?), while Denzel Curry's new one and his bundle are low stock.

 

[Sodajerk]

Do you have to be a member for that price? I see 18.99. Also how is this not their club's pick of the month?

I'm not sure. I'm a member and I see $15.99 so I guess that may be the case. ROTM is pretty good so far. This month is the new Black Mountain. July is the new Bleached record. I've only just started my sub.

It was 10 copies before, right?

There was never any official statement on what that meant, so them changing it isn't really going against something they stated but changing probably is to create FOMO earlier. I am not saying their changing it is the right thing to do, but it was never transparent to begin with, we just discovered when it showed up in the past.

I wouldn't be surprised if everyone that ordered has it shown as shipped this month (also OutKast)

Mine showing as pending (so are my ROTMs, but swaps are closed).
