I haven't ordered that album from VMP, but I recently also had that situation that a VMP record was in transit for 10 days or so. I think it has to do with the strong limitation of flights between the US and Germany. In the past many passenger flights also carried packages with them, but now most passenger flights between the US and Germany are cancelled. I think this status means that it is lying around at some US airport waiting to be flown here.
It's weird though that the White Stripes have arrived quickly. Possibly your Khruangbin also is already at German airport customs waiting to be dealt with. If you're unlucky, it could take a few weeks. As long as nobody deals with it, the status doesn't change sometimes.

Looking at it now they also left the US from two separate locations

I have too many to list down, but my favourite AP pressings are the Stereo pressing of Pet Boys’ Beach Sounds, The Doors’ L.A. Woman, Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, Ella Fitzgerald’s Let No Man Write my Epitah, Helen Merrill, Bill Evans’ At The Montreux Jazz Festival, Herbie Hancock’s HeadHunters, Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto’s Getz/Gilberto & Muddy Waters’ Folk Singer! 🌟🌟🌟

I love all my AP records though, but those ones are my absolute favourites! Can’t forget about Nat King Cole’s Love Is The Thing too! Such a romantic, spellbinding listen! ♥️🍸

I've ordered the Doors AP yesterday from VMP and am excited what it sounds like. 😍
Very happy to see your positive impressions and suggestions. 🙂👍

Also customs seems to be slow. A package from secretly arrived in Frankfurt on July, 4th and got to me yesterday

It sounds absolutely incredible! Like @Mather has said, it’s an extremely good sounding pressing! I also have the AP pressing of The Doors’ Strange Days which sounds great, but nowhere near as amazing as L.A. Woman! You’re in for an absolute treat with L.A. Woman! Pressing is simply sublime! 💎

That could have to do with one arriving quickly and one being stuck somewhere. Some areas are of course hit harder by Covid-19 than others or face a high amount of packages that have to be transported and have been lying around for a while.

In the past and in April I usually have received my VMP orders in 7 to 8 days, since May they need 2 weeks or longer.
 
Just picked up a copy of the Jaunt VMP Rising! I loved what I heard! I love the dreary, warm, hazy, jazzy sounds of the album! The subtle electronic sounds, and the emotive and moody guitar lines, with those velvety drums on many of the tracks are really nice! Such an instrumentally dense album, but it’s so smooth! Highly recommend this release if you enjoyed the Crumb, Still Woozy, Kate Bollinger & Barrie exclsuives! 👍

Also, this VMP Rising will definitely sell out within the next few weeks! It’s limited to 500 copies, and there’s only 80 copies left! 💨
 
Is it still VMP policy where they’ll ship an order only once everything in the order is in stock (as a member if that makes a difference)? Im thinking of ordering a few albums with the 10% coupon and wanted to include the Sonny Sharrock record as well but that won’t be around until October and most records in the order should be available August.

It’s a country album.

Awwww dammit! Now my record collection isn’t going to be as attractive now because I’ve got another Country record coming! 😅🌵

Just kidding, I’m happy that I’ll now have a record each by Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson & Loretta Lynn in my collection! 🙌🤠🥃

It means if any country fans come into my room, I have some albums to spin which they’d enjoy! 👍

Bro I think you’re a country fan!

Don’t tell anyone though, especially my friends! 🤫

You're starting to slowly come around as you learn Country isnt all just Honky Tonk or singing about Beer and Trucks (though that stuff is great too). Alot of elements of Blues, Soul, etc and some amazing song writing depending on who you're listening to.

As I tell my wife (who also used to hate country), No shame being a Yee-Ho who was a former Yee-No.

Time for some Keith Urban and Morgan Evans albums!

Eewww no way! Only 60’s and 70’s Country for now! No Keith Urban or Morgan Evans!

Ohhhh, I really want some Patsy Cline on vinyl too, but that’s so different to Shania Twain, you know what I’m saying?

I‘m not a fan Colter Wall, Paul Cauthen, Margo Price etc either. I think If I’m enjoying country music, it’s the 60’s and 70’s type!

One post 2000’s artist that’s a tiny bit country I do love though is....Mac DeMarco! 😍🤠

Oops, must have been tricked by his “Here Comes The Cowboy” album title or maybe him with a flanette shirt and a guitar on the album cover for ‘2’! Jokes haha

But the instrumentals on that album; pretty crap album to be honest, are country-tinged. Even songs like “Annie” and “The Stars Keep On Calling My Name” Sound really country. Like he definitely had a bit of a country sound in him, no?

Maybe his music is too sexy and hipster to come under the ‘Country’ umbrella! 😛🤣
