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

Anybody else think it's a little strange that both this article and the accompanying tweets are like "Whoo, we're so excited about Caroline Rose's new album that we can't wait to announce that it's the March AOTM! We love everything about her, super hyped, we have a long relationship and it's been building to this for a couple of years now, so proud, wiping our tear-stained cheeks.


Oh, and also a band called The Roots."

Edit: I mean it goes to great lengths to describe Caroline Rose's "purple and neon pink splatter vinyl with a 10”x 10” lyric and photo booklet." Phrenology, though? It's a new digital master and it'll be on vinyl, next question.

Yeah my guess is because Roots will get a wide release shortly after. But on the other hand so will Caroline Rose so who knows...

Can’t wait to score that Roots album on Discogs in a few months!

It will probably be available elsewhere in a different variant. There's next to zero chance that they only release that album with VMP.
As we've seen in the past exclusive only means the color variant.

I would also wager that wherever else it's released will get you a copy before VMP will.... and it will be less warped.

Where are the Caroline Rose non-VMP variants?! Signed stuff doesn't do a lot for me, but I'll go that route if it's all we're going to get. VMP can't be the only colorway though, can they?

Given that it is a new release, I'm guessing VMP worked with New West to limit colored variants. Their value proposition is low to begin with, of course, but if other colored variants were available it would be an even tougher sell.

My guess is they just want to make sure people know it's coming down the pipeline so they don't preorder the album elsewhere and end up with extras. They announced the St. Vincent title pretty early for the same reason. And since Roots isn't a new release it's not as big of a concern

Did they drop any other hints, or just a "punk" album? Do we expect a Blink182/Green Day "punk" drop? Or Ramones? NOFX/Rancid? The Clash? I'm interested.

I'm mildly intrigued, but I don't know what album it could be that would sell to a "mainstream" audience. Some people thought the album could be Minor Threat's Discography, but I don't know if it will sell to their audience. I'd get it if it was this, but I don't know who the hell would buy that

While I don't agree, I do admire your passion for a company YOU truly support. That being said, I would take the advice given to you a few times, at this point get that $500 refunded ASAP, that's money lost if things go further down the hole. You can always renew at a later date, and I would like to think that an email from a member who has been this supportive, on the outside chance you miss something, would be taken care of..........at least that's what I think they SHOULD do. But I think we're more worried about you losing all that credit if you let it linger too long. ;)

If I don’t hear from them by this Friday, I’m going to tell them to just send me a 6-month gift membership and they can take $209 from my VMP store credits. If they don’t do that by the end of next week.....then I don’t know what...😶

I didn’t pay through PayPal, I paid through bank statement! 🤐🤦‍♂️
