He is great, I have seen “RIYL Odelay era Beck” and that seems like an apt description except Cornelius would be both Beck & The Dust Brothers combined.

And they've worked together too. Or at least remixed each other's work.

Finally see a NC shipping label created today. Woof. This will definitely be one of my longest waits. Probably won’t get it until 21-25th.

Yeah I have a label created finally too. Considering it's Media Mail, I doubt it's reaching me this month

Well, the David Gray exclusive was delayed until July due to the plant being shut down, and the pressing location for that is listed as QRP, which is where VMP has their Classics records pressed, so an impact on Classics seems pretty likely. Most Essentials and R&HH titles get pressed at GZ in the Czech Republic, but I'm not sure what the physical distancing restrictions are there, although their Cases and Mortality rates / per capita seem (slightly) less than western Europe.

Preorder the albums you want and cancel them if they make it to swaps.

My Stooges and Otis showed up yesterday without notice, first time I've had that happen in 4 years.
Am I completely insane (most likely) or did VMP already do a pressing of Cornelius' Fantasma? Maybe I'm thinking of just a reissue when they used to "curate" with random non-VMP releases in the store? Don't see one on Discogs so I'm going to default to the parentheses....
Edit: Nevermind, I think this one was in the store in 2016.

They did one for Point but this is the first VMP exclusive for Fantasma that I know of

I do feel some of these VMP issues are like a broken record but this is crossing the line...
Well now, I thought I'd had every issue in the books but THAT... that's a new one.

Mailer and LP jacket were pristine so that narrows it down. I reckon it's probably smeared with Covid-19 as well.
Is the record actually flat? It's like a perfect crease.

Totally flat. Incredibly flat. So flat this record would be your Valhalla.
When I first pulled it out I thought it was a pressing defect - a crease. But it's just a flat out fracture.

The 2020 update to POTR's 2019 album, this edition has B-sides and alternate takes of jams from that album, and comes on brown vinyl.www.vinylmeplease.com
Really liked the POTR album last year, so I'll probably be grabbing this. First store exclusive for me since uhhh, October?

Since their policy states they ship by the 15th of each month I reached out to them yesterday because I still don't see it in informed delivery and haven't gotten a shipping email. As expected they said the coronavirus is slowing things down and that it should ship by next Friday. This is definitely the longest I've waited for my box and the first time it's in danger of arriving in the correct month. It's also my last month with them for now, so I wonder if they BOTS'd me on purpose haha

Just piggybacking on @RowBearToe's comment. Has anyone messaged CS lately and had a reply? I emailed a few days ago about a warped record and for an update on a load of records I have had ordered for ages (months in some cases). Usually, I hear back from Pauly within a day or two at the most.
