Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[Bohnjaggs]

Well you guys got me. now I’ll have another Fiona Apples album that I’ll probably listen to once to see what the hype is about, shrug and put it in my collection with the rest of them.

I mean... There ARE ways to lisfen to the album before you buy it

 

[NathanRicaud]

Although seeing as it’s not music Dads like mofi wouldn’t Touch it

But all the record collecting Daddy’s would like this way more than any Cyndi Lauper

LOL - as a Dad, I approve this message.

.....


Yeah, i'm not paying $45 for this and this shitty cover.

i mean I love mofi versions of albums I like but their A&R seriously needs shaking up. It seems aimed at my dad and he would love a Cyndi Lauper yet would be all Fiona Who? Also nowt wrong with Cyndi!

I am glad Fiona-day went off without a hitch, but damn, $34 for for an exclusive but not limited GZ pressing is down right predatory.

It's possible that's actually the back side of the jacket, and not an inner sleeve. Though it's kinda impossible to tell.

They went through the effort to show that image, so I'm hoping it's the cover and the red is a slipcase of sorts, whether it's solid or transparent. I like how they state that the cover was selected "by Fiona herself!" They present it like a feature, but it's really a way to say, "Don't fucking blame us."

I’d be willing to bet that the dad demographic is still the demo that is more willing to pay the MoFi prices, although nowadays regular 1LP prices are approaching that level. If they expanded to more modern albums they would clean up.

Even with that side note of theirs, people are blaming VMP for it and it’s funny to see people say “I’m not paying $40 for that album cover!” as opposed to “I’m not paying $40 for a 1LP pressed at GZ”.

...snagged it, I'm finally 5/5 for Fiona on vinyl.

Tidal √
When The Pawn... √
Extraordinary Machine √
Idler Wheel... √
Fetch The Bolt Cutters √

Is Extraordinary the Plain pressing?
Or is there one I am not aware of?

I mean I’m almost in my 40s and am beginning to get disposable income and they’ve not moved near my youth (late 90s/early 00s) yet, never mind contemporary stuff. I’m willing to bet that it’s much more to do with the age in their mastering room and A&R than it is to do with potential consumer base

They added more FTBC Fiona this morning.

3220 now.

 

[ITrustMyGuitar]

How??! this didn't work for me

I can't get it to work either. I could talk myself into going against my better judgment and supporting a VMP release of this at $34. Zero percent chance I'm paying $49 for a non-limited, single LP from anyone, but especially not from them.

Of course they did. Looks like it's up to 8k now

 

[Tyr]

If Music Matters Jazz put this out, I'd have no problem paying that price due to the extreme care they take when putting out an album. VMP is no MMJ, though.

So as excited as I am about this album, and as long as I've been waiting, that's gonna be a pass for me, dawg.

"Released exclusively through the Vinyl Me, Please store, it comes on 180-gram black vinyl, and upon her request, worked closely with Fiona and her team to re-imagine the artwork for this album."

First, who writes this run on shit. Second, they needed to help her re-imagine a red cover with three words from the title on it? Hopefully its more elaborate than that.

They’d have to work from digital though because the masters don’t exist anymore. Well unless someone fancies collecting all the bits of tape from all of the A Moon Shaped Pool special editions and trying to piece them back together...
