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

IMO Khruangbin makes a very specific type of music and they make it well. I now own three of their LPs and they all are pretty similar stylistically. Their music has a high floor but a low ceiling. There albums are all very listenable but I don’t think I need anymore Khruangbin in my collection going forward. I am good.
This ^. Plus seeing them live raises all expectations, bc live they are next level! Plus Laura Lee in person is even hotter!!!!!
 
Just got that Khruangbin in the mail. Mine’s just pink and it’s pretty disappointing compared to the mock-up, but it’s also still pretty enough that I’m not gonna raise a big fuss about it. Gonna spin it tomorrow and see how it sounds. I, for one, love this new record. The only song I don’t really like is the second one. Not sure what it’s called, but it sounds a little repetitive and “poppy”.
 
Well, I decided to listen to the Khruangbin album today. Boy, what a bad press. Side A1 is warped, but not too bad. Pretty heavy click at the end of track 2. Fuzz at the end of the side. Side A2 is flat, but has surface noise throughout. It gets worse as the needle gets closer to center. Gave it a quick cleaning, but I’m im gonna have to go in deeper tomorrow. I just have the normal cleaning brush with liquid, nothing fancy, maybe I’ll invest in a better cleaning system.

I’m just getting so tired of contacting support on vinyl. It’s taking a lot of the fun out of collecting. Oh well. I guess I shouldn’t take it so seriously.
 
VMP have added a new disclaimer. So just plan on it being a crapshoot at what you get. Mockups don't matter anymore.

Out of interest, was this just added onto that listing? Just wondering as if it turns out different I wonder if theres anything that those who already bought it could show as evidence that it wasnt there when bought?

FYI im not overly bothered by the colours but it does annoy me when something arrives different to what was advertised.

I don't look at the site everyday, however this wasn't on the listings Saturday. Now it's on my membership page and individual listings.
