Same, Phineas shipped but not Tribe

Someone on Reddit asked CS about it and got this response:
I dunno, man. VMP works in mysterious ways.
They’ve been doing this for a while now though (ROTMs first, then store orders later in the month). But usually all your ROTMs ship in one package. I’ve only received shipping notice on 1 of 3 ROTMs (UGK) this month. Seems others are seeing the same thing this month.

Ahhh yes, the old "we are trying new shipping stuff". Classic VMP

My Phineas shipped with Aretha, at least that is what the email said. But shipping separately is so classic VMP.

God forbid they use better boxes and bubble wrap . No, just pay for multiple shipments in crappy boxes with no padding

lol. Yeah the Amazon mentality, ship it like crap, save the $, only replace if someone complains. Imagine how big the combined stack of defective or damaged crap VMP has shipped members over the years would be. Obviously a small dent in the global waste issue, but shouldn’t they be a little ashamed about shipping crap all over the world?

This is why @Mather had to dig a 3rd sub basement, to house all his defective records.

Definitely, that is all I saw. I saw NOTHING else down there

Tribe has arrived. Packaging is fantastic!
Will give it a clean and spin tomorrow.

Do you remember the days when they could only do one shipment and month so you’d get new release exclusives and RoTMs well after album release and everything came in huge cubes. Then they changed the website and everything seemed to come out only individually. They work in mysterious ways…
Just spun side one of ATCQ. It sounds very clean with some nice dynamics. I'm only on side one and the only bad thing I have to say is that it's a bit.... narrow. Like it almost sounds mono through the first few songs. Very very narrow stage. But I'm sure that will vary song to song. So far I'm impressed. Disc two does have a bit of a warp but it's not catastrophic. Nice package all in.

100% agree with this. For 45rpm I expected more soundstage width as well. Everything sounds pretty tight and crisp. I'm happy with it.

Just received my copy yesterday. Resubbed after 3+ years away. I laughed to myself when I saw they’re using the same flimsy mailers with one piece of tape. Luckily, my copy arrived flawless. Sound is pretty solid. Nice bottom end. Probably as good as a hip hop record from ‘91 can sound.
I have to say, the jacket is excellent. They really did a great job with it. Probably sticking around for Labcabin and dropping the sub again.

Yeah there's a few tracks where the stage really opens up, Check the Rhyme being one of them. Looking forward to cranking the volume on it tonight when I have the house to myself...
