I wonder if they will kick people off Alicia Keys next.

Oh wow. That is the worst. Sorry man, didn’t realize they would ‘gotchya’.

Junior Wells as a 1 month sell out oof. Thought I would be able to grab it next month.

Just saw it available in swaps.

Ah, Junior Wells on standby. Thought that would last at least 1 month. New swaptions just hit including Alicia Keys 3LP. Hop on it!

Same here. If you ask CS for replacement sleeves you might get some sort of compensation with credit. I could see 1 being smashed and I wouldn’t complain, but half of mine were in rough shape.

Regarding transparency, where is the line between what they should and should not communicate?

Counterpoint, VMP connects with customers way more than say AS, Craft or Rhino. We probably know way more than we deserve, and that creates this level of expectation that we need their every business move communicated and explained. Outside of membership-specific changes, I’m not sure what we...

Nice! Glad you had a flawless box. I’m through Mel Brown and only have 1 being replaced. 3 of the records were stuffed into the jackets carelessly, but only 1 of 3 had some smudges & playback issue.

Through Side A of Chico. Think it sounds better than Africa/Brass so far. 😬 Edit: reading/learning on how Africa/Brass was recording, yea, checks out. Look forward to listening again with that perspective.

Nice! Just got the out for delivery notification. Going to take Hayema’s advice and inspect everything tonight.

How does it sound?

I wouldn’t call it a flop. Selling 2/3 of it’s stock in 2 months, as the highest price per LP antho they have released, and containing far from the best of Def Jam… it’s not a bad result at all. They’re getting a great realization on this, and it may sell out without a discount.

What are folks moving on to complain about if VMP goes under?

When you said ‘when all your communities become toxic’ I assumed you meant Discord was one of those communities as you replied to someone who was referencing activity on Discord. Apologies for the misinterpretation.

I don’t think the Discord has gone to toxic levels. This all adds up to what VMP should be doing: -Improving communication with members -Drawing in new members If there’s less of a focus on Discord going forward, it’s because it was not helping either of those initiatives.

Probably one of the cheaper ROTMs for licensing costs?

Cashflow needs. Doesn’t feel nefarious or close to Bandbox-levels of carny. I think things will level out eventually, but then again maybe I’m ignorantly optimistic here.

If it sells out, or sells enough at full price, it could lead to 2 types of box sets going forward: 1) ‘Story of…’ types at $45-55 per record, 2,000 units pressed. Doesn’t sell out quickly, but does when offers hit (Miles, Cadet, Willie). 2) Limited box sets (Def Jam). Higher price point $70+...
