BUT ITS SO PRETTY (legit i only really care about the color variants... if its an album i'd clearly love i'd buy anywhere but i love colored vinyl)

I feel this. I mean, I signed up for A Night At The Opera, mostly due to the color variant. But I decided today that I don't want to deal with any more of their shit, not even for that gorgeous Aretha press. I'll spend that money elsewhere.

both QOTSA and Aretha are gorgeous colour versions, I’ve got to give them that. Gotta admit I like to see a nice colour spinning but at the end of the day I’m in this game for the music so pressing/mastering/the music are always more important for me.

eh i probably can't notice the difference from a Gz pressing and a QRP pressing... i am NOT an audiophile (everything i have is only 20hz-20khz) and unless the album is just so brickwalled its hard to hear anything a master is pretty easy to be good

maybe partially because im used to emo and punk albums that are very much not high fidelity and because colored vinyl is so pretty like i might as well be that urban outfitters vinyl stereotype (same age, genderqueer, but didn't buy a crosley cruiser)

I’m going to be honest I wasn’t an audiophile when I began this journey and I’m still not sure that they’d fully induct me now. What I can tell you is that there are differences but that they get more pronounced as your gear improves. I’ve only been able to afford to mess with improving gear in the last year, I’m 36 now. Also better quality pressings tend to hold their value better because they are always in demand.

I better get my Mobb Deep

I know! Same! I haven’t gotten a shipping notice for anything at all (understandably so because it’s the 1st of December and because I’m international). But I just hope I get my Mobb Deep or....that they repress it if they really messed up on inventory that bad! They should be getting around 100 copies for replacements (10% of 1,000). So, if anyone has a faulty copy, VMP better not send a new one out straight away, unless everyone who has ordered The Infamous has a copy lined up for them!

But they should seriously just not replace any copies for now. Until they ship the December VMP boxes, then with the leftovers, replace people’s faulty copies!

I highly recommend everyone goes and checks out the most current (Vol. 7) AOTM thread!

Just cuz. No reason in particular. :3

This kind of selfless act, completely devoid of self interest, is what makes this community so great.

In an act of equal selflessness I’m going to recommend that you all go and check and contribute to the thread for, and also listen to, the current December pick...

I suspect that VMP don’t care.

It’s so savage, but it’s the hard truth. Like I would be pissed off too and VMP couldn’t care less. but it’s not the worst thing for me. Like I’ll get a refund and I am happy with the Music On Vinyl (MOV) pressing I currently have. That colour variant is just spectacular and there is the chance this VMP pressing will sound better than the MOV pressing I have!

By the way, has anyone played their VMP copy of Mobb Deep’s The Infamous? How does it look and how does it sound? 👀🙇‍♂️
