Yeah, with Bandbox at least they sent that email before they'd filed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors while for VMP they seem to have filed that 3 weeks ago
This is weirdly similar to the email we got from Bandbox right before their bankruptcy, which also lied that things would get back to normal in 2 weeks (to try to stop chargebacks?):
Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club
I don't think the new Cold Specks album was available for pre-order (I only discovered it was finally out mid-last week) but the vinyl run seems to have been very small and is almost sold out:
"To celebrate the five year anniversary of Saint Cloud, Waxahatchee designed this "Ruby Falls" red and black splatter vinyl album exclusively for Spotify fans."

New Neil Young cover album to benefit The Bridge School: PRESALE - Heart Of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young Vol. 1 - LIMITED EDITION WHITE VINYL — Killphonic Merch
It sold out before the official email announcing it was on sale went out at 12:40. I was nearing the front of the queue but got a work call and by the time I was done it was gone. It is supposedly still available in her UK store.
Are any of these ones on the list they might be fulfilling: Barbie, Judas Priest, and Long Winters? I'm assuming not Barbie since it was sold on Amazon (and I only ordered the picture disk because it was practically free, anyway).
I also ordered these "in-stock" ones when they started ghosting...
I wish they'd announced the box set sooner because I bought the TRAИƧA Selects record because it then sounded like the only vinyl version they were releasing of it!
They are being sneaky--the code for the discount if you spend more than $125 works on all the non-box sets in the section so everything at the link is actually on sale and/or eligible for the code
I wish it was longer too but there were some really long jams this tour! 5 of the songs are over 8 minutes long and Spring Haze is almost 12, per https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK3M711F/
There's also an indie exclusive: PRE-ORDER: Tori Amos "Diving Deep: Live" 2xLP (Indie Exclusive Bone Co
It looks like maybe only the coke colored version has printed inners, or they were just lazy about the other mock-ups
