Adult me got overruled by the kid in me that used to play The Infamous to death....had to do it!

 

[wolflow]

If The Infamous gets to low stock today would someone be able to snag it for me? I got a car bill I gotta pay today and I won’t get paid until Friday, and I’ll happily cover cost and shipment!

For Mobb Deep, Leon Zervos hasn't worked at Absolute Audio since the 90s. They are listing the original credits. Unless it is a repress, which seems unlikely. Fucking joke.

Considering Beck...what’s everyone’s opinion on the best available variant?
Not even sure I want it.
I never spin my Colors.

There are plenty of variants, unless it's a must. I would wait a bit and pick one up cheap after the hype has worn off. I think you can get the Deluxe version of Colors for like $25 currently.

Then they should include them in every one of @Mather 's orders. (Ducking behind this monitor before mather comes)

is he the dude with the vinyl flat?

@Mather, get in here. They're trashing your Japanese panini press again.

Do we think that the Frank Ocean would be a more likely drop than Fiona at this point, since he's been releasing those singles?

No. Fiona has already worked with VMP and we know that they've been talking about doing more things together. She just had that long interview with Vulture saying there was new music on the horizon for next year and this week is the 20 year anniversary of the release of When The Pawn...
Frank on the other hand has to done nothing but demonstrate that he's more than content to release his merch and music himself. It seems to be his preferred way of doing things, actually. Having control is over everything Frank Ocean is very important to him.

None of my angry panda gifs are working, I give up.

 

[dhodo]

If anyone finds out the actual mastering details before it sells out, please lmk.

Edit:saw on Reddit that Storf said yesterday he basically had no idea so nevermind.

I got that Infamous FOMO. Always was an album I was interested in but never picked up. Mid 90s rap is a definite blind spot that I need to rectify.

 

[Murfocakes]

Do they not know that people have a thing called the internet where they can check for prices of goods and therefore purchase those which are reasonably priced?

Question though. I haven’t bought many exclusives lately but noticed I’m being charged tax now. Is this a new thing? I live in Indiana, and they aren’t one of the states listed on the order page. Am I missing something?

 

[Mather]

For what it's worth, "couple hundred" Infamous left in stock and they do not have the pressing info. But if I was to bet I'd guess it's the 2016 20th Anniversary Sony plates.

I was wondering the same. Discogs started charging tax as well for non-international orders.

 

[BazookaTooth]

did i just cause a delay on those pifs ?

Blame it on the U.S. Supreme Court. South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., 138 S.Ct. 2080 (2018). States are now allowed to require sales tax collection if the seller has a certain amount of sales into that state (typically around $100,000 or 200 sales). VMP just needs to be more transparent about charging sales tax nationwide.

 

[radiodead]

Yea it’s that new e-commerce law^^^^

I remembered something vague about that but couldn’t remember for sure.

 

[Bohnjaggs]

I cancelled my VMP membership around the time that they shuttered the forum BUT ... I definitely want Fiona. If it's coming soon, I hope I would have time to resubscribe so I can grab it from the store.

Tina'd The Infamous. Classic Mid-90's hip hop.

On the tax, everywhere is doing it now as a result of the case cited above. At this point, if you're American you should just assume you'll be paying tax online with any domestic site.
