kannibal Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 20 minutes ago, charles1028 said: 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: http://www.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/tidal-info/ 30 minutes ago, timsimmons said: I'm guessing it's a window. If if we are supposed to be happy with the June store, we'll probably see the catalog repressed for a June wide release. Yeah, seems like it will be a timed exclusive, at least. While a wide release seems like a no brainer, I have to wonder why this and many other "no brainers" have yet to be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondie Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I am not familiar with this album but are very happy to forego coloured vinyl for 45rpm. Good decision VMP yancey47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicLima Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I never really got into Fiona back then, but I listened to Tidal last night twice all the way through and I was pleasantly surprised, think I'll stick with it instead of swapping.

Fowty Dollaz Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 All the referral links are still down. Maybe VMP had to give up too many monies this month over DD and they nuked the program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything except the home page is still up. They are saying that the home page being down and all other pages still working is just a weird hiccup. The effect is that it prevents referral codes from being used but I don't think it's an intentional secret plot to curb referrals.

merlecakes Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The FB posts all say "sign up by 5/15." Does anyone know whether it could sell out before 5/15? Or if you sign up by 5/15 are you guaranteed a copy? I'm wondering how long I should wait on the referral links to get fixed, because I really want this. Thanks!

MicLima Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Is this how it's always been? There is still the "Paste your link anywhere" dialog. Rules & Regulations “The Crate” subscription is excluded from referral rewards 1 new friend signed up = $10 VMP account credit to go towards your membership, or to use in the store You MUST use the widget to share VMP with your friends. If you do not use the widget we CANNOT validate the referral & you WILL NOT receive your store credit. Total referrals are limited to 50 per person There are 3 ways to share: Email — Type in their email address, customize the message however you see fit and hit “send”. The email will be sent to them and will include a link to sign up. Facebook — Type in a message and click “Share.” The post will be sent to them and will include a link to sign up. Twitter — Type in a message and click “Tweet.” The tweet will be sent to them and will include a link to sign up. When they sign up, you will BOTH automatically be entered into our referral system (the referrer will get an email saying they’ve earned their VMP credit).

I doubt I will ever get that many but I know there are some people who were getting well above that. The most consistent and problem free way of signing up referrals in my experience has been the email option by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Ah I was wondering why none of you were using my referral code!! Well, carry on. It was fun while it lasted. Pretty excited this is gonna be 45 RPM, wish they'd release pressing info. (I mean, it's probably digitally sourced like 99% of new records but the guy doing the mastering would be nice to know. CB or maybe KG?) kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Ya, the referral system wasn't properly thought out before DD. If I was on the VMP business side I would have added a few conditions beyond the simple 50 'max': 10 max per release (i.e., $100) Must be on 3 or more month subs It really cheapens the VMP experience IMO when it becomes a cashgrab for people in the right place / right time / spammers. Also for those wondering, the source and mastering is right on the release page: 2LP, 180g Black Vinyl 45 RPM Gatefold Jacket 12-page lyric booklet Remastered from original analog tapes by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound 12x12 Art Print by Wade Jeffree + Leta Sobierajski aka Ikko Ikko Edited April 20, 2017 by Canuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckle Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It has been this way forever. I remember people asking why Four Tet was black and it was his choice as well. Some artists don't care, some do. The Gorillaz camp decided on red as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The mod over at VMP was saying they've capped it cause folk were making $5k of Gorillaz. Come on, who was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
