Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[Rowan]

Don't think it is, but I tend to have a lot of issues with GZ so somewhat sarcastically answering why they are having issues with it.

Just checked. It is. They were supposed to be plated at RTI and Pressed at GZ

Weird!

 

[Selaws]

Sounds just like an update with a bit more info on the same issues they already reported on.

I actually think this is a rejection of the second attempt.

And a change to the advertised deal.

The RTI-GZ hasn't worked, so at least they're trying to get it right instead of sending us a bunch of noisy discs. I'm fine waiting I guess. GZ can do a nice job at times.

Yeah, I think that's the correct take after a second glance. So much for that RTI-GZ approach.

Sure my kinks box is GZ. So what is the issue? Plates getting damaged in transit? RTI GZ incompatibility. There are 8 albums in that box and this is only the solution to two so I'm interested to know what will be different enough for them to go down this route... More from sheer curiosity rather than any perceived shit chucking. I think the rationale might be interesting

RTI seems massively overworked right now. Seems that a lot of labels have gone to them instead of GZ after Rainbo closed but between COVID and the huge uptick in vinyl pressing/demand during the pandemic, seems like they can't keep up.

Well that's interesting. No longer using RTI. That's.... odd.

wouldn't be shocked if RTI is too busy to redo it now and VMP didn't want to delay it even further by waiting on RTI.

I get that but that isn't what they said. The email implies that plating and pressing at GZ is the solution to the issue. This is what annoys me with VMP at times. For its fantastic customer service it has a habit at times of not being particularly transparent

Pure speculation on my part. But it also probably isn't a good look for VMP and their relationship with RTI to say "RTI's too busy".

Only marginally worse than 'soz la, we've cocked up the same pressing two times in a row' to be fair

VMP have employed a scouser in public relations? Interesting

I had to check to see if @Joe Mac said it first

Who wants to start a pressing plant?! We can call it "Mather Pressing Warptastica" or MPW.

"Mathers Wonderful And Really Professional Pressing Plant"

or "Mathers WARPPP" for short.

Just pause it at the 14 second mark if you want to see a true Mather's WARPPP pressing.
