I am going to suggest therapy for you. Thats some serious paranoia you are sporting there. I've had plenty of issues with VMP, the Anthology just wasn't one of them. Toxic attitudes like this are why the forum doesn't exist anymore. Grow up.
Sorry in advance for being nosy: Out of curiosity, credited to which account? Only asking because they made a big deal out of Anthology being on a different e-commerce platform, so if I’m understanding correctly, either a) they credited your unrelated store account, which there was no guarantee you’d have since non-members could subscribe to Anthology, or b) they credited your Anthology account and your only chance to use it is to re-sub to the next one.
First off, welcome. But, 2 members commented on your statement, neither of which attacked you in any way, shape or form. Even @High Rant District included a disclaimer in his first sentence. We're all entitled to opinions, and how we choose to discuss those opinions is what causes issues. Your response here does exactly what you're telling people not to do......have a "Toxic" attitude. Telling someone they need therapy and others to grow up, is hardly the way to carry on a non toxic discussion.
Sincere or not, he responded to your comment. You decided to take the conversation to a personal level, that's it, I don't see where what I said in respect to that had any "attitude" behind it. I hope you decide to participate in more than just one place around here, I really do, because there is so much more positive on this forum than negative.
You aren't the first person, and won't be the last. I just figured you'd either laugh because I was so wrong, or react strongly because I touched a nerve, and start justifying other VMP actions like shutting down their forum.
Maybe those other companies were getting revenge because your company keeps sending them defective records.
I didn't say you were a shill. I suggested you were a plant.
To be fair, that was on me for violating the ancient Tibetan tenet "Don't start none, won't be none."
No need to apologize. You didn't start anything, and to be fair, you should defend your employer.
Nah, you should hang out. I respect that you stood up for yourself. And your employer. (I can't help myself, I know, I know). You don't know me, but in the future, if you ever think I'm messing with you... it's probably because I'm messing with you.
People suspect people are shills at times because VMP are known for a fact to have had shills come onto their forum and talk things up. People wonder if Storf lurks the forum here because they don't wonder, we know he does.
Strange, the 3 bn80 releases i have are perfect.
Really? I've heard nothing but good things about the 80th. I heard what you're saying about the 75th, but not 80. I know at least some are AAA and pressed at Optimal. Are you saying the jackets are trash? I need to pick up Ethiopian Nights!OMG, it’s so serious up in here! I’m such a scaredy-cat that all this “Can I talk to your Manager?”/serious kind of conversation is making me scared! I like that people here are being serious and calling out VMP for the right reasons, but I’m such a baby that it also frightens me as I’m not used to this White-Collar professional talk
I must admit that I’m very happy with the VMP Anthology overall as the records sound amazing and I like the records which were chosen. I think there were definitely things that went wrong (jacket, vinyl label), but VMP corrected them and i think they were sincere with how they went about the issues. I understand why people are disappointed however as there was a bit of a lack of quality control.
I just want to put this out there. The Blue Note Tone Poet Series so far has been excellent and in my opinion, the best reissues Blue Note are involved in! Blue Note Tone Poet is better than VMP Anthology, hands down!
The 80th anniversary series however is the worst thing ever by far in terms of quality control. EVER!!! I got around 8-10 Blue Note 80th Anniversary pressings and all were either severely warped or had so much scratches everywhere. Literally all of them were very faulty and it doesn’t make sense to me because all the exclusive vinyl pressings I’ve been getting from Urban Outfitters have been pristine.....
I just want to put out there that I understand the disappointment in the VMP Blue Note Anthology Series, as there was a lack of quality control. However, this makes me just think of one thing......if VMP Anthology Blue Note series is considered to have lacked quality, the 80th Blue Note reissues are just like 4 Men With Beards quality/no care at all! I’m really shocked with Blue Note’s carelessness with those pressings. Urban Outfitters, I wouldn’t have been shocked, even though their pressings have been great, but Blue Note.....YIKES!
They were most certainly not sincere on the case of Gordon. They claimed that Blue Note sent and approved the wrong artwork, claimed they had scoured the earth for ogs to scan but were unable to and then within a week of pissing everyone off, magically had a source for the right liner notes and cover. They. Lied. Their. Asses. Off.OMG, it’s so serious up in here! I’m such a scaredy-cat that all this “Can I talk to your Manager?”/serious kind of conversation is making me scared!

I only have one BN80 so far (Grant Green) and it was great! Not as nice as the tone poets but really good! I haven’t gotten any others but Jutta Hipp is preordered.OMG, it’s so serious up in here!

Ahhhh it is the 75th Anniversary pressings I’m talking about! It’s just because I’ve been buying them when the 80th Anniversary pressings are out, I’ve assumed all of them are 80th Anniversary and that I missed out on the 75th Anniversary reissues!
