@slabsofvinyl they’re sending a new record. Thanks for that recording. I sent the link and explained I was hearing the same thing.
Same. Hopefully it was just a bad few and not more widespread...@slabsofvinyl they’re sending a new record. Thanks for that recording. I sent the link and explained I was hearing the same thing.
I apologize again for the SK rd location error. Lol
That is my favorite SK song. The first time I saw it performed live, I sobbed. My friend was concerned until I started laughing through my tears.
Getting new copies of Phoenix and Classics. Was told they're going to start doing a nickel test where the warp has to be large enough to fit a nickel under.

I'm guessing VMP do not realize that most (pretty much all) countries don't have American nickels... or nickels at all so... I'm sure this will go well...What is a nickel and where do I obtain such a measuring device?
I'm being pedantic to be fair, but there is a tone deafness in this if it is indeed a new "policy" that is sadly consistent with recent developments.I'm guessing VMP do not realize that most countries don't have American nickels... or nickels at all so... I'm sure this will go well...

Wait wait wait. How are you going to test if a nickel can fit underneath it, without damaging every record that can't quite fit a nickel under? Like I have had some obvious warps that I'd bet my life I could fit a nickel under. But if it's something that I can't quite eyeball for sure, I'm potentially scratching the crap out of a record with the nickel because I was trying to see if it'd fit under. Does that make any sense?

Look it's very simple. Take your regulation US Mint produced nickle, if you live in a different country that's your fault so go find a US nickle somewhere, not our problem. Once you find said nickle, jam it under your record. If it fits, we send you a new record. If it doesn't fit and scratches up your record then you're a scammer and you got what you deserved. Now shut up and go find a US nickle.

What happened? Why's everyone staring at me?
Kathleen (Vinyl Me, Please) Apr 11, 10:43 CST Hey @WheatPopsicle, I'm so sorry to hear that! We surveyed a few plants and all agreed that playability is the determining factor in whether warping is 'within tolerance.' If audio quality is affected - it's not within tolerance. If it plays - it's within tolerance. Another quick gauge is the "nickel test" - place the warped record on a flat surface (glass tabletop is best), and if you can slide a nickel under the record, this is considered to be too much warping and is not within tolerance. Do these records play ok? Do you think they'd be able to pass the "nickel test?" Let me know and we can go from there. Best, Kathleen Customer Support Specialist Vinyl Me, Please |
I don’t think I’ve ever received a record from this company that wasn’t warped enough to fit a nickel under sooooooo business as usual I guess.
