No referral link is working at this moment, I want to sign up but would like to help both parties involved. That's a bummer man.

Use this: http://fbuy.me/eU_bq

Just go to the Select Plan page, and order, and we're set :)

 

It's confusing, their interface. You won't see anything that makes it look like a referral process. They should just do entry codes on the payment page.

Andrew: This is the first black vinyl Record of the Month we’ve done since, what, Big Bill Broonzy 15 months ago. Why did we end up doing black on this release?

Cam: Fiona’s camp decided that since this is Tidal’s first release, they wanted to try to keep it as much as possible like it would have been if the vinyl came out in 1996. If they were doing the vinyl package in 1996, they would not have put it on color vinyl. They would have included a lyric book identical to what came with the cd. They wouldn’t have added bonus tracks or an additional disc or done alternate art work. It would have just been the album, on high quality black vinyl, and that’s it. So that’s what we went with. And I actually love the simplicity of it.

Andrew: We also ended up choosing 45RPM, right?

Cam: Yeah, on the first version of test pressing at 33RPM, the songs just didn’t pop like we or her team wanted them to. We agreed that we should go to 45RPM to get more musical info on the disc—which is what happens with a 45RPM master—and Tidal sounded a lot more dynamic at 45RPM.

Andrew: And before we go, since people will ask and insinuate, there are no current plans to do this reissue on the label’s side, right?

Cam: Correct. This reissue is coming out exclusively through Vinyl Me, Please.

I'm literally looking at my statement right now and it came out on 4/2 (for a new subscription).   But like I said, Paypal might be different than credit cards.  

I used a credit card last month and they charged me right away for the 3 month subscription I guess they made a mistake

That's cool for VMP, but that seems silly on their side.

Odd question. It somehow let me reactivate my Crate sub as it's now the 1-Month sub thing at $6. No prob. On my account page it shows Tidal as being the May Record of The Month. Now, how do I order it? Or have to wait til the store opens on May 2nd? (I've never had a straight-up full-on sub, only Crate so have no idea).

 

Most likely have to wait but if its like Demon Days it won't make it.

With the VMP version not being an "exclusive color", what do you think a standard release would be? 140g vinyl? Just allowing for a timed exclusive for VMP? 

 

I like Tidal, but I don't love it, and I no longer have to own everything I like on vinyl just because it's vinyl, so a standard issue appeals to me much more than a club version of this, if I was going to get it at all.

While a wider release seems likely in the future, according to the Q&A with VMPs "Head of Music", the label has no current plans for a wider release and this is truly an exclusive to Vinyl Me, Please.   Of course, consumer response may change that.  

Here's a link to that Q&A:

You would think they would have shied away from the 180 gram if they were trying to make it like it would have been pressed in 1996.

Unfortunately no. A different error, but still down

Odd - I'm able to get to the sign up page.   Here's a direct link the "Select Your Plan" page:

http://www.vinylmeplease.com/select-your-plan/

Maybe its the referral links that aren't working.  You won't get the $10 credit via this link but maybe you can at least get signed up.

Not trying to get something for nothing, but if anyone wants a $10 credit for VMP, there's a multitude of codes on here. It's worth it! http://fbuy.me/fmeIU

No referral links are working at the moment.
