As like many others, I got that dead box for like $260 + tax. If I paid full price for it I would've refunded it months ago. The fuse on it being a deal is burning fast, though... I'm about to be $260 in the hole instead.

I had no problem cancelling orders a few months ago, but it seems they're trying to delay cancellations or persuade store credit. This is what scared me into reaching out to my credit card to see my options. The fact that they are stalling on cancellations at this point has me very concerned...

Just a quick FYI for anyone holding on to anthology preorders that are delayed. I reached out my CC company, Apple Card, today to see if I have dispute options for the Dead box should VMP go under. For my case, I ordered in November 2023. They said I can still dispute the charge if necessary...

I read somewhere they were supposed to update the production calendar this week. Guess they are either waiting til the last minute or it's not happening. If I don't see an update on that GD box soon I'm refunding. Not sure how Blue Note is on time now, while GD is still in limbo. There's no way...

The "Crate subscription" seems to be the most confusing to me. $120 for the year for 10% off and free shipping? So if a store drop, or ROTM, is $50 (Max Roach is $49 for reference), you're saving $5 bucks + say $7 shipping for a total savings of $12 bucks a drop. You'd need to buy at least 10...

I know what you meant by this but the first thing that comes into my mind is that it'll be delayed 😂😂

I have no basis of how many subscribers they have in each track, but I'm sure they've all gone down significantly in the last 2-5 months. If 2,000 is about average for classics, then it should hit swaps easily unless they start with the "almost gone!" bullshit when they have tons of copies.

The email mentioned Max Roach to be limited to 2,000 units. I asked Paul about this and if things were going to be re-pressed again at later dates and he basically said no. I don't think he's the person that could provide the best answer to this question, but he said that old titles being...

This is at least promising. They're probably just reading the production calendar verbatim, though.

"While we recognize this change may feel big and like a departure from what has made VMP special, our mission to memorialize essential albums and help you build a record collection your friends and family will fight over when you’re dead has only grown stronger." This is the quote that got me...

Hey @duke86fan , I do still want it but whatever is easier for you. I don't have any interest in dr octagon so I would just do one month of IVC to grab Pharrell. Just let me know, I don't mind either way. If the friend is IRL and you can just hand it to them and that's easier then no worries.

If you change your mind let me know. I'm probably signing up for a 1 month sub to get this.

Yeah, I don't care for this cover art or the VMP vinyl color itself. The picture disc variant on gasdrawls is stoking my collector FOMO a bit, however.

I think basically everything about it is objectively worse, and the price is almost double.... so I'm gonna go with no.

Cancelled my membership this month and I only have 3 open pre-orders left after I get my September box. If I get two out of three pre-orders I'll consider it a victory whether they actually implode or not. GD Box, which appears to have been pressed so I'm hopeful here - 90% chance? D'angelo -...

I'll be trying to do the same thing here. I almost did a 3 month for for Thug Life, Mos Def, +1. Pretty glad I didn't now.

For anyone considering sticking with VMP on a yearly sub, it might not be a bad idea to convert down to a 6 month or 3 month term. The discount to go for the 12 month subscription is now $10 worse for VMP than it was before on the 3 month and 6 month subs. The month to month is $2 dollars more...

I'm with you here. I've gathered every classics release from the beginning but I'm starting to feel like I'm just getting them just to get them at this point. I can probably stop my sub next month, wait 6 months and grab all the releases I missed in a sale for a fraction of the price of the sub...

Yeah after thinking it over for a bit I guess I really don't need Thug Life in my collection. I'll probably pass this month and try and hop in on Mos Def next month assuming it's decent. If I miss out, oh well.

If anyone is looking to hop in for Thug Life and subsequently Mos Def, but does not want Elliott Smith, looks like you can subscribe at 9:00 PST today and you'll get Thug Life. My VMP sub is up on 10/1 so depending on VMP and IVC's selections I may pop back and forth between the two.
