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

It's been a wild ride these past few years, but I'm finally out of the VMP club.

This year's favorites, in no particular order:
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
The Strokes - Room On Fire
Donna Summer - Bad Girls
OutKast - ATLiens (hopefully disc 2 still arrives after cancellation)
DARKSIDE - Psychic

I think that might be the first best of list I've seen without any Classics.

I slept on the Strokes, thought it would hold out another month.
 
$200????

$200....for a comp of mainly non-RUN DMC tracks???

Did someone slip something into my coffee?

What the holy fuck is this shit? You could just like, buy all those albums for cheaper (sarcasm but this is insane).

This is a bunch of hipsters thinking lets make something limited and charge a fortune for it. The sad thing is people will fall for it & discogs prices are likely high. This should cost no more than £25 new

I feel like mailing Gearbox and asking them why they are involved.


There is no other way of describing this other than:

Oh, my bad guys.

Ignore my initial shock, I didn't realise it came with a beanie.

This is obnoxious. Truly.
 
Look, you Philistines wouldn't understand art if it came up and snatched your totally reasonably priced beanie and not particularly limited $200 Aerosmith record that's pressed at Optimal. Now if you'll excuse me I'll just be over here soaking in the product ideation and creative execution of this new cultural zeitgeist.

I'm just clowning, fuck these guys from here to their "unequivocal place".

Sweet Zombie Jeebuz, that takes hutzpah. Not sure if I should applaud them or get rid of all my records on Kijiji for free and walk away from this stupid hobby.
It's obvious we're not the target market for this crap. My hopes is that nobody buys this overpriced shit and this company burns itself to the ground sitting on $200+ shitty compilation albums.
