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

[dhodo]

LOL, I was busy with the kids and realized I hadn't checked swaps yet, came in here and saw 6 pages in this thread in an hour. For some reason my first thought was, "wow, must have missed some great swaps."

 

[Murfocakes]

From a business point of view, the flash sale didn’t help clearing swaps, the Woodstock Box didn’t help the site from crashing and the constant winking on social media and fanning of hype didn’t help expectations.

Personally, I was really hoping there'd be some copies of Cornelius's Point left over, considering how slow of a seller that one seemed to be.

Salt N Pepa's album cover is so colorful but they went with black and white cuz salt n pepa. Get it.

Naa man, thats harsh, this month is fantastic. A great classic from a superb female vocalist, a forgotten gem from a legendary jazz musician, and a legendary hip-hop album from an all-woman line up (Shoop alone is a jam). Im likely to get all 3 unless stevie swaps for TLC, and even then I will be going back to pick up Stevie if it makes it to next month.

I mean, when you can get OG presses of two of them, together, for about $20 shipped and the other certainly isn't an undisputed classic album...

So they got me back with the 3 for 2 promo (I know, how dumb can I be? *hangs head in shame*)

Elli got back to me and said that they made the swap on my essentials track manually but, now I can't even see my membership details page to confirm it....


EDIT: page is loading again and the swap is there (Bella Donna for Party Down).

EDIT 2: I've disabled the automatic renewal, I'm out after The White Stripes.

I appear to be in the same boat.

Anyway, what will next month’s swaps be? I reckon Once Upon A Time In Shaolin and Prince’s Black Album are definites

 

[Bohnjaggs]

Finally got Ray Charles to go through

Finally got Ray Charles to go through

It's because you were trying to push him through too small of an opening

 

[NewsFedora]

Man, glad nothing in swaps really moved me. Thinking I’ll instead drop RHH this month and grab Experience Unlimited in the sale. Oh and Khruangbin of course.

 

[JonnyH]

Yeah, I'm grabbing all 3 ROTM's! I like all the picks and can't wait to spin them all

Unless you can get the book!

 

[JonnyH]

holy shit Little Beaver went through! I gotta charge my phone now after an hour of refreshing.

 

[MikeH]

Welp...emailed Paul to ask him to cancel my account with all the issues that have been going on lately. Tried to swap for 45 min and couldn't get a single thing to swap. They sent me the generic "it should be up soon" email instead of manually swapping for me which I asked for...Wanted to double-check that it won't affect any preorders I have with them, but I'm not entirely sure that even if they say it won't be affected that I will actually get what I ordered.

 

[Kyuuji]

Well, now Demon Days is gone so didn't get either that I was hoping for, on time for and clicked for for 25m to an hour. Rad

 

[NateOEB]

and Ray is no longer available

and Ray is no longer available

total shitshow.

It did take 40 minutes of trying, but I'm relatively happy with getting the Frances Quinlan swap for R&HH.

 

[wmeugene]

I ended up swapping for Frances Quinlan, not unhappy since it had been on my list to check out.

 

[sylvian]

How much you do you want to bet they will go full damage control before the day is done and offer more incredibly underwhelming records at insane markups?
