Really never hurts to ask, depending on who you get will usually swap for you as long as it's in stock and in the warehouse. They won't swap for preorders.

Every member? No. Every member who spent 60 minutes trying to swap, yet failing due to a glitch, then email CS to get a form letter response with “try again later” and “we cannot manually swap” (which is BS), only to have zero luck? Abso-fuckin-lutely.

I was just gonna let this go, but I can’t. I’m not expecting ‘free shit”, but I do feel like many of us got screwed over by the old bait-and-switch, so SOME kind of compensation would be nice. But regardless of that, why do you care what I ask for? Why do you have to express your displeasure at those of us who feel jilted...again? You’re entitled to your opinion, that’s fine, but please refrain from lecturing us in the future. It doesn’t go over well.

Okay so he apparently DID lose some of his master's in the UNIVERSAL fire, I said Capitol... that was wrong. But apparently MOST of his master's were actually kept by his manager and stored IN CLOSETS IN HER OFFICE. Which is hilariously old school and yes okay I guess that works.... worked in this case at least!Nah, check out that link I posted. Plangent is transferring from tapes and then cleaning the sound up with their software. Mentioned here too:
12 Erroll Garner Albums Reissued in Octave Remastered Series
Fans of pianist Erroll Garner (1923–’77) have rejoiced in recent years, as reissues and new titles have shone a spotlight on the work of the legendary Pittsburgh native. The resurgence continues with the 12-album Octave Remastered…downbeat.com
Can't remember who posted that first in the Classics thread or I'd give them credit.
edit: thanks @hatfieldpdx!

Give it a shot...I just emailed them about trying to swap to Shabaka
Let me know if that works. I asked them if it might make it to swap, but got a shoulder shrug

Swap shops for Premier League football stickers were more reliable than this in the 90's!
Between that and the fact this is all about vinyl records it's looking more and more like modern technology was a mistake.
Granted this forum would function a lot slower via carrier pigeon...
...though probably still faster than the VMP customer support
How many Andy Cole’s do you want for shiny of the trophy from page 1?

Trying the same, is email via the contact form on their website the best way?
Sucked as I spent 20 minutes trying to add the black pumas as a swap before giving up. Today morning all that's left I either already have or its just garbage.

I almost bit on that buy-two-months-get-one-free offer too, but... VMP. Not worth the aggravation (to me).

As I haven't been a member in a while and back then there wasn't a necessity to push the "Confirm swap" button, i wonder regarding those who have been successful in logging in exclusive/ rare records they wanted:
1) do you after having chosen the record you want push the "confirm swap" button over and over again until finally it's confirmed
or
2) do you each time begin again from the start, by pushing swap, seeing the options, choosing the record you want and confirming the swap?
I wonder which method works better?

I didn’t swap but I would personally do the 2nd option. I would go back into my account page, click swaps, and then choose the album again under the Swaptions and click confirm!
What did you end up swapping for??? Seems like you got The Isley Brothers & OutKast, yeah?

Hmm well for me it was a combination of the two? I selected Pang the minute it went up and then spent around 20 minutes just pushing the "Confirm Swap" button. Since it didn't work, I sort of accepted that I wouldn't get the record anyway. Then I went back to my profile, saw that the Swap didn't work and Stevie was still my May-record. I pushed swap again just out of curiosity to see wether Pang was still in there or not - I expected it to be gone at this point, especially after I read on the forum that the Black Pumas record was gone. To my surprise, it was still there and I tried again to confirm the swap for a solid 10 minutes and started all again from scratch maybe one more time. Then all of sudden, my swap was confirmed. I think it happened when I was once again pushing the Confirm swap button.
Then I chose the Classics-Add-On and tried to swap for Stevie Nicks, which didn't work for 15 minutes. So I don't know what the issue was, I had trouble confirming the Swap for both a rare Swap Exclusive as well as the new Essentials-record, which I assume they have plenty of.

I changed classics to Outkast and that's still logged, so hopefully I get it and they didn't oversell. I've tried changing SnP to TLC, The Isley Brothers, and especially The Roots (trying both to push confirm swap for a longer time and by trying anew) , but none of that worked, I also tried changing the Stevie Nicks to them, but that didn't work too. Tried that for nearly 90 minutes. Then I've tried swapping Stevie to Da Brat and that suddenly worked. But then the others disappeared bit by bit.
So right now I'll be getting Outkast and Da Brat. I still have the SnP logged in. I've asked CS if they can change it to The Roots, let's see what they reply. For my first question to do so I got the standard response, but that was when traffic was still high. I check each hour if there are other titles popping up I want. If they refuse to change or don't respond in time, I try to change SnP to Stevie Nicks as I think the SnP will stick around for half a year or longer. If Stevie is also gone by then, I either take something else or stick with SnP. I don't think it's a bad record, I just assume it won't sell out anytime soon, so I would prefer getting something else sooner.
By the way with Outkast I also was successful using the 2nd method.

Yes
If you had to spend money on those specific albums though, would you? I'd keep all 3 if they were free as well.

Yeah, of course! I really like all three of those albums after I gave them all a dedicated listen!
I get my Essentials ROTM for free. I still pay for the two add-on subs! But that’s still very cheap overall as shipping is free! So in short, I only pay USD$46 for three ROTM’s shipped to Australia!
Nice to meet you by the way Mudketeer!
