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

[hlaveta]

I'm not getting it because I have a pretty good OG copy, but Soul Christmas is a fun seasonal album and is cheaper in swaps than it is with the Black Friday "sale" price. Worth it for the opening track Back Door Santa alone.

Probably my most spun holiday record.

 

[NewsFedora]

Am I crazy or did swaps open an hour early? Either way, swapped for Fiona's EM.

Daylight Saving throw you off, maybe?

I don't think so...I just had it in my head that it was 10am today. Oh well, not complaining over here!

Somehow Saba is in swaps 30 mins later!? Instant cop

Yeah, Extraordinary Machine and the Christmas albums are still around, too. Maybe people assumed everything is cheaper through the BF sale?

I jumped on the Saba as well.

Few Good Things?
It's so good. I have no regrets on Tina'ing it last month.

Swapped Blonde On Blonde (have the MoFi and mono) for Townes Van Zandt Live, and George Strait for Wu Tang

This is a weird VMP link.

This is a weird VMP link.

My apologies.

My apologies.

I was in no way serious. It happens.

Can anyone speak to the pressing quality of Saba, Fiona, or John Mayer? Between those three and need to pick one

Fiona is perfect in every way. If you like Fiona and have her others, this one is a no-brainer. Easily my favorite of her albums.

John Mayer is not my thing but everyone who likes his stuff says this pressing is primo shit.

Saba IDK. I got the previous album from vmp, it was good. I think the jury's still out on this one.

My Fiona has been sitting in a postal centre 65 miles away since 7 o'clock Monday morning, so I can't comment just yet. Supposedly she started moving again an hour ago, so hopefully tomorrow. Even more excited after reading @yukbon's praise above.

I will second the fact that John Mayer sounds amazing.

Also the color is so, so gorgeous. The only complaint is they could have splurged on the packaging, liner notes or gatefold or whatever, and they didn't. The original also didn't have that though, so nbd IMHO. But it's flat and pretty and sounds perfect.

Saw someone here say Saba sounds absolutely incredible

Saba does sound great. Highly recommend.

So I bought a couple records during the sale. Figured they will wait to ship them with the ROTM in December since that is what I indicated for my shipping. Nope. I got shipping notice for 1 record on Monday and just got shipping notice for the other this morning. 2 different tracking numbers. This why their records are so pricey, we all have to pay for their fulfillment incompetence

 

[bdm105]

So weird. Essentials and Classics shipped separately and mormor says in stock but hasn't shipped

 

[hayema7]

Personally, they've been bundling pretty well for me. My preorder (Fiona) got shipped on its own, but that's usually what happened. They put all my TBT titles with my ROTM and my sale titles haven't shipped yet. I expect them with this month's pick.

Just strange how it's so different for different people.
