Sadly I can't find a gif of the Queen Haters

There was record store row on Seymour in Vancouver, with A&B sound, Sam the Record Man and an independent import record shop in between. I always liked A&B sound better as there prices were cheaper.
Sigh...Glory days.

So if I received two copies of Mars Volta and both were defective, then received store credit, do I need to email in to get put on the repress list? Anyone know? Is that how they are handling this situation?
Seems like an awful generous proposition by VMP to resolve this issue, though I assume GZ is repressing on their dime.

Yup Track records was in between them. There was an A&A as well. I think they were in the location that Sams took over. Worked in the A&B warehouse briefly
This has not been made particularly clear. I would assume there will be a mass email at some point.

I used to skip classes in New Westminster to hit up record store row whenever the big hip hop double albums dropped (Wu-Tang Forever and Life After Death particularly come to mind) - was always cheaper than Metrotown and more interesting than Law 12!

Well, despite knowing they have a large problem and a repress coming, they are sending another De-Loused my way. I guess we'll see what happens in 3 week or so.
The consistency continues to be shocking.

They may need to reprogram their Matty.
I got the Elli variant, she informed me that likely a 3rd copy wouldn't do me any good. Which I wholeheartedly agree with, in this case.

I remember the Jason variant having a conditional "if" statement involving gaslighting for requesting too many copies that were already defective.
I too have noticed this malfunction. Where they insinuate that it's not in fact the pressing that's the issue... IT'S YOUUUUUUU.
This one is especially aggravating when after having 3 horrendous warped no fill crackle ridden copies of a title, and then after having to fight for it you get the 4th and out of the blue it's actually clean. You just want to take a picture of yourself pointing at the good one going "SEE THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY GOOD! IT'S NOT ME!"

Do you old timers remember Josh, when it was just Josh and Pauly in CS? That guy was awesome. He was usually great on the CS side, but he also use to openly rip people on the forums, which I found amusing.

I've had nobody talk to me. The only reason I know I have a replacement coming is that a pending order for one is in my order history.

Is it shocking though? I mean…fool me once, shame on VMP. Fool me every other month for 4 years, while they continue to use GZ, shame on me.
Edit: Says the guy who just resubbed for Dolly Parton (pressed at GZ).
Oh for sure. This is on me entirely. I'm just venting. I knew what I was getting into, and again, for all of these faults, it's very seldom that I don't get a clean copy in the end. So good on them for that. VMP CS continues to be GZs saving grace.

Oh, for sure. Like I just added to my original post, I rejoined for Dolly knowing I might have to ask for a replacement. And I took that gamble with the Herbie anthology too. It usually works out in the end, but it’s a hassle for something they are charging a premium for. As long as people know that going in I suppose.
