Planning on spinning it tonight and will let you know, just need to do a mass clean of them first.
Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)
- Thread starter Captainfog
- Start date
Sure you may have gotten the jacket, but I look forward to you opening this and discovering the leftover Patrice Rushen disc housed inside.

Hahaha. I can confirm that the correct record was in there. Just cleaned it now.
Actually, on a side note I am about halfway through a clean of my latest VMP batch and I realised that they seem to be a lot closer matches to their mockups than usual. I'm not overly bothered about the colours matching up and stuff but in the past its been a 50-50 chance they look like their mockups. Heres the Thelonious Monk which looks like a spot on match.

Mine was grim. Good luck!
How does it sound?
How was your monk?

The Monk was the worst. Why on earth they still use unlined inners I will never know.
I cleaned that monk 3 times and it still clicked every 20 seconds on side a. And I could fit Oscars paw under the warp on side B. Absolutely infuriating.

Haha, send them a pic of that and see if you get a replacement even though you didn't use an officially approved nickel.

Bummer to hear that, fingers crossed my copy fares better. I trust you've already let them know and a replacement will be on the way?
While I still have at least a week before my VMP box arrives, I did get my Colemine exclusive of Aaron Frazer's solo album. Sounds divine and I'm definitely happy I went with their nebula variant. VMP's variant looks nice, but I think this is even prettier and it ended up like $10 cheaper to boot.
I've never seen this before but its actually bowled. So when you put my weight on side a you can actually see the record sink.
Yeah. To VMPs credit they're replacing so it's no biggy. Just annoying to go through the process of cleaning, re-sleeving etc for it then to be impaired. What I will say is through the clicks it's a fantastic concert

Much luckier than me if you've never had a bad dish before! Always a bummer, hope they get you a good one.
Loads of warps but that's the first that's actually dished in, like, 900 albums. Vmp helping me achieve another first
Yeah man, I get the crazy wavy ones. Not the symmetrically screwed ones... Till now. Who knows. Maybe the floodgates will open

I have several dished warps but playback usually isn't an issue with these for me. Using my weight to flatten one side seems to be beneficial.
The warps that are on the edge are horrific though, as those seem to be the ones that make the needle go airborne.

Oh man, I haven't listened to it yet. Might have to put that one on next, been looking forward to it as well. I missed out on the RSD pressing and this VMP came in cheaper anyway.
