Nope, just not responding after the initial "Hey we will look into this for you" email. IG socials team was the most responsive, apologizing profusely and whatnot. However, the most they can do is kick it over to CS.

I did not. And to be honest, when I first reported the problem back in early December or whenever it was, they had disabled that option. At this point, I will not be attempting any more contact as it just isn't worth my time. Sure, I could reach out to the one or two people I still know personally at the company but I just do not wish to. Nor should I have to.
I know you're trying to help @Mather and I thank you for that. I'm just over the situation at this point. I have spent probably 5x-10x as much of my time as the original cost of the album. Its a NOPE from me, dawg.

I put in a replacement request via the VMP Zendesk late this afternoon and—I shit you not—got it resolved within 5 minutes. Might be worth trying since it also keeps track of prior CS requests via your email.

@Tyr I was In the EXACT same scenario, had totally given up and emailed this week and got the replacements. It is worth a go. If you feel that other CS operatives might not listen maybe list your message FAO but I think it is worth a try.

To reiterate my situation: I only ever got resolution to all my long standing queries when Matt was personally involved. Worth a try.

Whats not true about it? Seems factual to me. The more music less stress part could be seen as false but I've had 0 stress with them.

Yeah, but, as with everything in life, personal experience does not define the collective one.

I mean, most of the recent "exclusive" haven't been locked to members-only (regardless if advertised as such), and the past few months have brought more stress than buying a record should ever bring.

Meant to post this yesterday here, but I'm giving away a copy of QOTSA's Songs for the Deaf on my IG. If anyone is interested, I'd appreciate it if you checked it out!

Completely agree here. I went on a BIG deep dive into TVZ's work around the time he was chosen as the ROTM. General I would go with 'Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas', he seemed at his best live and this is honestly one of my favourite live albums now.This one...

Out of the 2 VMP exclusives, I personally would go for the self-titled. 'Lungs' and 'For The Sake Of The Song' are 2 of his best songs IMO (the live version of 'Lungs' on the 'Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas' is superb). I bought the 'Our Mother The Mountain' VMP Exclusive and think its fantastic, really good pressing IMO with absolutely no muddiness to it.
If you reallllly want to go on a deep dive I really recommend the biography by John Kruth. Its a big brick of a book which begins quite heavy with his family background, but soon changes to fantastic anecdotes and stories. He led a painfully tragic life and his songs certainly have a greater emphasis on me after reading up on him. Heres a link to the book (im sure you could get a second hand copy on ebay). https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lives-Fly-Ballad-Great-Townes/dp/0306816040

Finally cancelled. I could be baited back, but there’s still nothing holding me in loyalty wise, and when the picks don’t really do it for me I had to think long and hard about spending the $30 every month. I’m honestly sad to let it go, but they really haven’t done enough as a club, and seeing all these CS issues makes me feel like I’ve used up my 9 lives with them.

Boooo my add-on was charged tax for the first time. Guess VMP finally figured out how to work it after about four months.

Weirdly, one of mine was charged tax and the other was not.

Crud I hope not I put my 3 on a prepaid card with exactly 75 dollars on it.

Of course both of my tracks had tax added on fml
Bummed about this as well, of course they figured it out the month my membership renews. What's funny is I didn't get charged tax for my essentials add on but did for the hip hop and classics membership renewal.
