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

That's just two different directions of skips. Same defect, just depends which way the needle is pushed. A backward skip does sound effectively like a locked groove, but I've only heard of people referring to the intentional deadwax locked groove as such before this forum.

Edit: I'm not trying to say that I have a problem with it or anything, just that it can be very confusing since there is another feature present on all vinyl records called a lock groove.

A "backward skip" sounds like an oxymoron to me, and "loop" makes me think of looping techniques, but "locked groove" sounds frustrating enough to an apt descriptor, even if it's not the proper term for it.

I don't see skip as being directional, just meaning skipping from where it should be to another location.

You're right though, groundhog groove is better!
 
I didn't see a thread for VMP rising, so I'm going to ask here: does anyone have some information regarding a Charlotte Day Wilson debut album? After these excellent EPs, it seemed like a debut album was just around the corner, but it got very quiet around her lately. The single "Mountains" also wasn't kickstarting an album rollout.

I wonder what she's up to, if she's working on a debut album or if she put her music career on hiatus?

Haven’t heard anything but I really regret not picking up that VMP pressing of her EPs...

Been waiting for an album from her and Toulouse forever now. I hope at some point there's something.
 
I'm gonna call em jump-backs.

In sales descriptions of flaws, I see them called "repeating skips" - never locked grooves.

Locked grooves are normally intentional by design, like this:

"Each track (except B5) terminates in a locked groove."
 
I contacted VMP yesterday about my McCoy Tyner not having shipped yet, but I'm posting their response here because I'm guessing it affects more than just Classics -

"We're dealing with a glitch in our system that caused some orders to be overlooked. We're having our tech team look into this and they're working hard to fix this issue and get those orders sent out. You should receive a shipping email by next week."

It’s never ending. I can’t believe it. But I guess I’m the fool for expecting differently.

Oh cool, you mean the same glitch that happened to me two months ago is happening again? Thank God I can now rest assured it will never happen again. :rolleyes:

Just got the same message, initially asked about Fantasma a week ago before they announced it was delayed. On the bright side...maybe I'll get Fantasma, Sahara, FTBC and BVSC in one box? A man can dream...

I don't even know where to post this. Is this real?? Is April Fools in November a thing I don't know about?

So what happened to this?
Edit: seems the link is redirecting to trntbl now. It was this advertised thing where you could spend 5g and were promised the 200 most wanted records from the 2010s from discogs. I can't find any traces of that anymore
