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

Yeah. I was really bummed about this, because that is arguably the best song on the record. I'm not sure there is any remedy for it, unfortunately.

Even worth contacting VMP? I am assuming if we both are having the issue, it's widespread and a replacement won't do shit.

Update: VMP is sending a replacement. I doubt the quality will be different, but it is worth a shot. Keep your eyes peeled in dat PIF thread!

Storf posted a pic of his weyes blood exclusive to IG. I guess he was in bucket 1.

Seems customers should get these before employees. But what do I know?

I like Storf but I agree. The good thing is that your average VMP customer doesn’t know Storf is so they don’t know about it. But since they shut down the forum in 2 days and their continued shipping delays can anything that is done in that organization ever be considered a win for the customer. I may pick up an exclusive here and now but I won’t go out of my way to support their organization. Magnolia is a much better cause to give my $45 dollars to every month. Timely shipping and they don’t promise what they can’t deliver on.

Anyone ever get a "numbered" VMP record that was supposed to be hand stamped, and is just totally blank?

I got a record today (Desmond Dekker - You Can Get It) and it has the /750 printed on the back, and the foil stamp is supposed to have the number in front (see generic example below).. but nope! Just blank! Silly.

I pulled the trigger on The Comet is Coming. I'd been listening to it the last few days and went from indifference to absolutely loving it. Funny how that works sometimes.

I like the exclusive colorway. But I've decided that rather than support VMP by forking over $29 (!!!) for a single LP, I'll just buy it at their show in Portland. These guys deserve my money. Hopefully I'll get it signed as a bonus!

Yep, got Eddie Gale that's like this. I figured they were replacement copies or the ones that slipped by on the production line during the bong rips.

Edit: to be fair the copy you have is "rarer"

It’s just proof that VMP doesn’t care about their customers. Even if you do send it to employees and stiff the customers, at least have the decency not to post it on social.

100% agree with you here. I saw it on his instagram this morning and thought it was really untasteful to post knowing that some of your paying customers haven't received theirs yet.

That was my thought too. If VMP doesn't make all their employees wait until the end and only get their albums after all members' albums have shipped, then they should at least have the decency not to post on social media that they got the album and eff their members.

That was a run on. You know what I mean.
