YouTwo Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think sometimes the artist decides and sometimes it's the label. I got the impression that Jim James was involved with the MMJ release but I think the label made most of the decisions for Demon Days.

There's a guy on their boards that had the most they have ever seen. Said he could pay for close multiple years or subs from it and all he did was sit on reddit and respond to requests. Turns what should be a personal recommendation engine, into a popmarket code. Also, FYI: VinylMePlease **UPDATE** Still working on resurrecting our site after traffic from the Fiona announcement crashed it...thanks for your patience!Apr 20, 2017, 3:41 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I have mentioned it on VC. 45rpm is a clear SQ winner hence my original post. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some guy on there forums saying he could buy 2 turn tables and a decade of subscriptions with the money he made. I thought I was doing decent being able to get a couple free record over the last year haha.. I am pretty sure that guy started the thread on reddit among other sites too though so he was the first post everyone saw. That is an insane amount for one person to make from referrals of a record club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It's crazy. They could have turned off referrals for demon days, people would still have subscribed. Same with this month's ROTM going by the reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reshiram Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeah I swapped for the Fugees, hopefully I don't regret this several years down the line, but I really don't see my ever having an interest in Fiona, and that Fugees album has been on my wantlist for a while now. deltadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the release page it shows that it was remastered from the original analog tapes at 45 rpm so this release should be as good or better then the og release.

I just figured it was some kind of leak in retrospect as the LP was super nice quality for a boot. But now I just saw the video this is amazing quality I'm glad we have this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to go back and do some more research because green tea was supposed to be the brain beverage last I heard, either that or the Papi is buying that bootlegged green tea which would make sense why he is just willy nilly proclaiming random record releases are also bootlegs.

Are you actively trying to get that Fugees album? Because VMP only had about 100 copies available in the store when I checked a a day or two ago. I would move on that quickly if I were you. ETA: Just checked and that number is down to 16 now. Edited April 20, 2017 by superheroclass Reshiram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hype Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Has anyone heard anything about when the site is supposed to be working again? I am not real active on chasing referrals and following the updates but because of this I probably got screwed on the 1-2 referrals I had a chance at getting. Tidal wave of disappointment splashing me in the face today. Edited April 21, 2017 by hype jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyrich Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 In fairness, it's just the Mofi Pinkerton, but colored. Still... Great record, great sound, good price, nice variant.
