I can't even begin to guess how that redditer pulled it off, but in the past 6 months or so, Throwback Thursdays have fallen on the third Thursday of the month. But because of the holidays, VMP pushed up its ROTM announcement to the third Thursday (December 16) so my guess is there'll either be a Throwback Thursday tomorrow instead or they just skip it this month,
I think the Redditor had placed a Throwback Thursday order that got lost in shipment, so CS obliged as a way to smooth over the interaction.
My understanding was that they had ordered something from a previous Throwback Thursday and it was lost in the mail or something so the poster sent VMP customer service a request and requested that, if possible, they replace their previous lost order (which was now sold out) with any of the albums listed the OP would be grateful. Customer service ended up sending out copies of those 3 listed albums as replacements though none were apart of the TBT or currently in stock.

In My Own Time
The 50 Anniversary edition of Karen Dalton's last album, 'In My Own Time,' is here on Metallic Gold with Black Hi-Melt vinyl.
amazing. thanks! let me know when you grab it and I'll paypal ya right away. i know it probably doesn't ship until the spring though.
it's ordered, paypal whenever, i'll hit you up when i get a shipping notice or it gets here (shipping notices sometimes arrive after records....)
The funny thing is someone could have really cleaned up if they had kept it to themselves.
It's reddit...They are prob more conserned about bragging than actually using it to their own advantage.
i saw that too. it doesn't access replacement stock. it accesses inventory for records that are not on sale in the store but you are able to "join with" and swap titles
BUT GOD FORBID YOU POINT OUT THAT THE SIGUR ROS ALBUM THAT IS GONNA BE PRESSED AT GZ AND SOUND LIKE A HORSES ASS CAN BE FOUND IN A BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING, PRESSED AT PALLAS PACKAGE FOR LESS THAN A VMP MEMBERSHIP OR ELSE DOWNVOTES FOR YOU!
there's no sense in posting on the reddit anymore. fanboys are gonna be fanboys. this has happened to me on reddit vinylcollector wantposts too. i've pointed out numerous times to people that they shouldn't spend $150 on a color variant of an album when a black vinyl copy pressed at a better plant is available for $20. most of the time, the people say thanks but i want the color version....
I think I joined VMP at it's peak to be honest and the reddit sub is a very good representation of that shift. When I joined it was about great exclusives that you couldn't really find anywhere else, and even when you could the VMP version were usually pretty stellar. I noticed during my year+ or so membership that people seem less concerned about getting a great exclusive, or hell even sound quality and it's more "what cool colour splatter does it come in?". Some dude talking about Good Kid Maad City yesterday even said "I didn’t sign up to VMP to get a standard black release." He was downvoted, but I think that's actually representative of the club as a whole at this point. Music is secondary, a really cool package is the selling point.
Around the time the VMP forums were nuked some voiced concerns that VMP was heading in a direction where they were basically another Newbury Comics with the emphasis on color variants than quality or exclusivity.
and we weren't wrong about that. VMP kinda gambled on that and won sadly.
