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

[tonythegamer]

Well damn. I was trying to cut back on my VMP buying.

I have seven (7) LPs coming in my box for July.

My 3 tracks, 2 Jujus and 2 pre-orders (Crumb and Lukas Nelson)

7 as well. TV On the Radio, William Bell, Darrell Banks, Mort Garson, MorMor, Stars Replacement, and got Big Thief in the brief restock that happened

We have no restraint

My membership ends this month. For my last record I swapped for Soul Makossa, which was the only thing I wanted that I didn't already have in the whole store. Recent selections and exclusives have been really uninspired except for a select few which are mostly widely available elsewhere.

I'd email CS. Apparently, they pressed just enough to cover the current RHH subs so I would bet they could straighten it out for you.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to press an additional 10-20% of this to provide copies for current AND new subscribers? Somebody really dropped the ball on this one.

My guess is this is just an additional consequence from the Outkast screw up. Would assume they had Tical numbers locked in prior to Outkast being pressed. So when they under-estimated Outkast, I would guess that lead to a HUGE underestimate on Tical. Doubt they even had an option to get a rush order on more Ticals once they realized it would be an issue, if they even did realize it. Maybe some swaps of it will open more up, but then again it being sold out will lead to people that were going to swap it to hold and flip i would guess. FOMO and what not...

IDK I JUST signed up for RHH last month to catch up on some stuff with swaps. IF they are adding subs like mine, they have no way of knowing how far out enough in advance. Also I'd imagine a bunch of people subbed for Outkast and is inflating the number of subs to that track. At least they are attempting to stop the overselling on this one.

Of course that would have made sense - but something something play the cards your dealt or whatever. I'm glad I havent found myself in the middle of one these *mishaps* yet.

Looks like there are some Hatchie vinyl issues everywhere and not just the VMP ones.

I ordered the blue glow in the dark from the label and got a clear vinyl that doesn't glow in the dark.

Someone on Vinyl Collective said they pre-ordered through Rough Trade and got an e-mail from them saying the distributer misplaced their copies.

Dammit VMP!

 

[Souljacker]

Just cancelled all three tracks, the July shipment will be my last one and will contain no more than one record. And looking at swaps I'm not even sure which one it will be, since of course they still don't offer Rob and not even Mavis or Novos Baianos any more. Any ideas?

Sorry VMP, it's not me, it's you.

This sums it up nicely.

Any issues with Sorcerer? Figured now is a pretty good time to swap and finally grab it.

This Charlie Collins album sounds quite lovely. Think I'll swap for it this month.

Im not digging any of the ROTMs for July so I've tentatively swapped for Faye Webster...any issues I should be made aware before I make it official? Thanks in advance!
