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

I'd like a quick help on some last chance VMP store items. I have a budget for one or maybe two of these.

Charlie Collins
Faye Webster
Melody's Echo Chamber
Middle Kids
Thou

I streamed all of these before and like them enough, but I am more interested in hearing about the actual quality of the VMP pressings.
Just commenting on the pressings here. I have Charlie Collins and Middle Kids. The Middle Kids is a 45 RPM so there's a boost right there. I thought the Charlie Collins was a nice press. The only vinyl copies of this one I've seen is the VMP version.

I have the indie version of Faye Webster and MEC and I think they're fine...I would imagine VMP would be comparable, but I can't comment directly on the VMP versions.

Just a quick note for those who ordered the woodstock box from vmp. Looks like rhino is selling the individual volumes 1-4 as 2 or 3 lp sets on coloured vinyl. They list the 3lp sets as 50$ and 2lp sets as 35$. So if you buy all four you should be able to get the same 10lps of music for 170$ instead of 280$. Info is from the price list on the rhino site. Have not checked retailers prices.

Ooops. So you’re saying the markup was $110? Ouch.

Glad I have the first two in OG form and never listen to them so I wasn’t tempted at all.

I think VMP has the "tie-dye" variant exclusively, but $110 markup for a different color on a 50-year old release is pretty insane.
 
Wasnt sure where to stick this info so I will post it here as well:

Just a heads up, Clay Condor got back to me about the possibility of VMP having the Chance mixtapes/album on the VMP store. Looks like its a slim chance at this stage.

I wish there were more details to entice me. It could just be a flimsy jacket with the disc for $44.50 :/

yes , they have the tie-dye and the fact that they are selling as a complete box exclusively. Nevertheless, a 64% aarkup for that in comparison to another colour variant seems steep to me. if i had ordered it from vmp i would try to cancel
 
Yodel customer service is a total waste of time. Cannot find my parcel now for over a week. Still says ‘Slight delay’ on profile. Not responding to web chat and phone version charges 20p a minute and will have you waiting for 10 years. 5 VMP records ‘lost’ in the back of a driver’s van. Useless

Oh man, I had a pretty pricey record 'delivered' by yodel (Beck - Sea Change Mofi). They claimed a middle aged white man took delivery. I checked the parcel area and it wasn't there. My building concierge confirmed there were no yodel deliveries that day, checked the CCTV and even went to the building next door and checked their CCTV for me. I went back to yodel asking for a representative to come and look at the CCTV times when they claimed delivery and they then said its actually now the seller that has to deal with them and not me.

Screw yodel.

Literally the worst service imaginable. I’ve been in an endless loop of trying to get through automated voice recordings and their terrible chat system. Awful. They make me nostalgic for VMP
