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

Which album did they send you 6 copies of?!

That was last December. I got 6 of Queen, Mavis Staples, Muddy Waters, Wilson Pickett, and Cochin Moon. And they sent 2 of Digable Planets, Janelle Monae, Chris Stapleton and Vivaldi. I sold the extra Queen records (which paid for my Blue Note Anthology), and have given and traded away most of the rest.

Damn. I legitimately did not know this happened. That's funny as fuck

NGL, I'm a bit sad I missed that Muddy Waters though

Not if there's no sleeve. I still have my CD of that album. Looks cool though.

It's ok. Yeah, all replacements of Stars came with just the record, no sleeve.

‘All Mirrors’ package is really nice. Jacket feels great, the lyric booklet is cool, and the poster is triumphant! Digital download too. Good value for SWAPs imo.

I actually just complimented the packaging on the Aquamarine version in the Secretly Society thread and was wondering of other copies are the same. It sounds like this is the case. Wonderful packaging.

You got a digital download? I did not get one. Is it visible in the booklet somewhere or in the gatefold?

I'd take one to replace my bum copy as they didn't send me a good replacement. I'd pay ya shipping and whatever else you require.

All I’d ask is for shipping payment. You can have the good pressing. PM me

oh wait I didn’t notice @sorcerer either... uhhhh

do either one of you care about getting the slightly crackly ending?
 
Listening to my Joel Ross now and yeah, it seems to crackle and pop throughout. I also noticed random little blue "flakes" in the off-white vinyl as well, although that might just be a cosmetic thing.

I'll try cleaning the records to see if it helps. The pops aren't surprising but still a bit disappointing. The music itself is fantastic, at least.

Worst thing I've ever gotten from VMP when you take into account the price, combined with how crap the packaging is, and how totally crap the pressing is. I tried two, then got a refund. It's garbage.

At least mine's flat! But yeah, $33 is definitely too much for a subpar product. I got mine through swaps so at $23 at least it's a bit more palatable.

I'm still listening to my copy and the second record sounds a lot better than the first. I dunno if there's rhyme or reason to the popping, so I'm not sure if I'll even bother pestering CS over it.

For me it was worst at the beginning of each side and got better as it went on... but none of it is good.
