It makes sense but is also hypocritical just a reminder that this is a company selling a product and not a trustworthy buddy.
Redemption? I don’t know the story here.
Is that the one they sent a case of it to like six people and everyone else was shorted?
yea it was when the system somehow squared the number of orders you placed (if you bought 2 you got 4, 4 you got 16, etc.). i think they gave test pressings to people who returned their duplicates.
Or Just don’t sell things by flaming FOMO via manufactured scarcity using meaningless words such as “Exclusive” or “Limited” or “Numbered” and then they can press as many as they want in whatever color they desire without any issues at all.
This is also a valid way of doing business.
i will say, in some cases, artists will only let them press X amount of records, then reconsider later. that seems to be what happened with Young Thug at least. i don't think there's anything wrong with selling something limited/exclusive/etc as long as subsequent pressings are differentiated in some way.
I think they screwed that one up right off the bat anyway. As I recall, that one was supposed to be numbered, but wasn't, so they sold it twice, or offered replacements, or something.
VMP screw something up? HOW VERY DARE YOU?
i believe they put the replacement stock up for sale which was unnumbered.
Ah maybe that was it, that would explain how I ended up with one.
Yeah, I am sure they are fine to take some blowback if it means they can make some more green.
He’s still pretty enthusiastic over there, but it has a hint of Slurms McKenzie, trying to hype up things beyond his actual enthusiasm.
