"Move it.....Move it....." Loleatta Holloway "Cry To Me" VMP exclusive. Arm is sitting in the 'up' position....
should we blame PRP (which is probably just another plant of Gz or United). or should we blame saddle creek"Move it.....Move it....." Loleatta Holloway "Cry To Me" VMP exclusive. Arm is sitting in the 'up' position....
Huh, now I'm reading that the VMP and Rough Trade exclusives are both cut as essentially mono. I have the "true mono" clear Partisan and the "narrow stereo" black yolk in clear Rough Trade. I did notice that my mono switch doesn't do much on the RT. I would like to hear the stereo cut, but I don't know that I have the patience to buy a third copy of the this record atm. I don't mind the options but I don't appreciate the (willful?) confusiion.People on cogs listing Idles Ultra Mono VMP with pictures and actual printed numbers, is this going out currently? Haven't seen any indication it's in stock...

I was wondering about that. I actually kinda hoped it was mono, but I don't care too much either way as long as it sounds good. It's Grundman so it should as long as whomever pressed it didn't fuck it up.Huh, now I'm reading that the VMP and Rough Trade exclusives are both cut as essentially mono.

I think the mono sounds great, actually. I just wouldn't have pre-ordered two mono variants at the same time, if that is indeed what happened. I haven't taken the time to A/B the "true mono" and "narrow stereo" cuts, but my general impression is that they are pretty similar.I was wondering about that.

Probably someone who is a subscriber and claimed a defect to get a second free copy to sell to his local. Happens regularly, and one of the reasons the prices go up.My local shop has the Spiritualized VMP for sale for $50.
Or it's an actual defective copy.Probably someone who is a subscriber and claimed a defect to get a second free copy to sell to his local. Happens regularly, and one of the reasons the prices go up.
Yeah my previous local sold tons of VMP stuff listed at NM/NM that had warps, scratches, w/e. And w/ some of VMP's variants, it's impossible to see defects until you spin it.Or it's an actual defective copy.
Happens more regularly.Or it's an actual defective copy.
Have they shipped your Dead set yet?Or it's an actual defective copy.
Who's to say? Perhaps there's an alternate reality Mather out there, with a house full of flat records, listening to his Dead box right now while idly running his hands through the faux cat fur on his newly delivered and not at all lost in the mail Meow The Jewels...Have they shipped your Dead set yet?
That's insane. Maybe it's genius. Start fire burning with rumours that their finances have gone to shit because they pressed 5000 Dead boxes but in reality they're sitting pretty because it turns out they didn't press any.Who's to say?

Or maybe that Mather is just as fucked as this Mather is.
