I think it's just based on how many they sell within the month timeframe. At the end, that will be the number pressed.

No, because:

1. Vinyl production turn-around time isn't that fast, i.e. 4-6+ months not 1 month

2. If that were true, then they wouldn't have extra copies to sell in the member store the following month(s)

Does the VMP store still have copies of the Wild Nothing 7"

I don't think it ever did.

Wasn't the 12" limited to 2000 copies and only from AK? Or did I misunderstand that.

That was for the version mislabeled with the wrong speed I believe.

At the show now, here's hoping for a great show! New album definitely has to grow on me and im sure hearing it live will help with that.

How was the show? Did it help to change your mind about Sermon?

Second single from the album:

The deluxe edition (colored LP plus colored 7") is down to $29.99 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BGU2AC8/

Is this really sold out already? both vinyl options say out of stock

Back up now.

I didn't mind Sermon (though I detest its cover). It was to me leaps and bounds better than Beast, which I thought had the wrong tone for him. Sermon had a couple of misfires, but I really do like more than half the songs on the album (My Man On a Horse is Here is probably the weakest in all of his catalogue to date, give or take).

I agree with pretty much all of this. I think the highs on Sermon (Where the Night Goes, Homecoming, Cumberland, Young Moses) are just as high as previous albums but the lows (Seeing Me Round, My Man On a Horse) are lower.

Josh Ritter's 2010 album So Runs the World Away has been re-pressed on 180gram white vinyl. Unlike the original pressing on black (which I don't believe is OOP), this pressing includes a download code rather than a CD copy of the album. It's a great album, pick it up if you don't have a copy!

 

$18 + shipping: https://joshritter.merchtable.com/music/vinyl/so-runs-the-world-away-vinyl-lp

Barnes & Noble exclusive (clear vinyl) for $25: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cleopatra-the-lumineers/29554430

So I just found something interesting. You may remember that one of the pledge rewards for the project/fundraiser was a 7" of Townes Van Zandt covers by Jason Molina.

 

Well apparently Secretly Canadian is putting that out for RSD this year: http://www.scdistribution.com/resources/sc331.pdf

Awwyeah loving that new song. Every one of his albums has grown on me over time, the man just makes great music. Ordered the colored version with haste.

$32 for a 180g LP and an extra 7" isn't terrible, but that $11 shipping is killer. The single convinced me this will probably be worth it.

I absolutely love Andrew Bird but 43PPD is ABSURD for a single LP and a 7"

 

I will hope Amoeba gets some of the colored, but if not, black it is. 

As mentioned by the OP, Bull Moose has the deluxe for $33.97 which automatically qualifies for free shipping since it's over $25.

My guess is the 2/26 release date will be on black vinyl. Its also up for pre-order at target and B&N. If you want a variant, last chance is probably the webstore on grey (green sold out sometime earlier today). 

Conversely, my guess is that Target, B&N, and any others with a 2/26 release date (Amazon, Bull Moose, etc.) will be getting the grey variant but aren't aware of the pressing delays yet, i.e. the 2/26 date will be pushed to sometime in spring as stated on 6131's webstore.

Let me start by saying i'm a pretty huge DRA fan...

Can someone explain to me why everyone is so excited about the possibility of that thing coming out? Easy Tiger/Cardinology didn't seem to do well in the public opinion, so I can't imagine why everyone is chomping at the bit for more from that era?

Because it's supposed to be in the same vein as Love Is Hell.

I think if he was trying to steal our money he'd have just disappeared by now, so why does he keep making these promises and then disappearing for months? Is he that incompetent??

I think there's a chance he's a weirdo who gets off on stringing people along and the angry e-mails he gets after each missed deadline.

Why can't I access the store?

I think you also need to have previously logged into your account portal.

This Crate deal sounds interesting.  Are the records of the month usually available the next month or do they sometimes sell out before they hit the store?

They're usually available the next/following month, if not longer. IIRC at least the last 6 records of the month were available in the store last month.

so does that mean we can still buy the Diiv record, meaning it's notthe record of the month?

Correct, the Diiv record is just an exclusive in this month's store, not the record of the month for February.

Note that any purchases made from the store won't ship until around February 10th when the record of the month ships.

im confused how this site works. why even buy a subscription to the site if you can get access to their store and buy whatever you want after the $6 crate charge?

With the crate sub, you don't get the option to buy that month's album of the month (which is always an exclusive pressing, unlike most of the items in the store) until the next/following month.

I was [am] selling these at cost 

  

You made multiple references on their forums to buying multiple copies of previous exclusives and then flipping them for profit.

Sounds like you've turned over a new leaf, congratulations. But don't act like you don't have a (deserved IMO) history/reputation on their forums. There's a reason you've been banned there more than once.

haha you guys might just want to get those cheap memberships.. the VMP community is against buying for friends it seems (they took a screenshot of me offering and seem furious) 

 

I can still try but there may be issues so I'm putting this warning out there. 

Oh please, don't play dumb/innocent. You know why the VMP community doesn't like you. It's because you made multiple references on their forums to buying multiple copies of previous exclusives and then flipping them for profit.

The forums and its attachments are private – mind uploading that photo elsewhere? I'm curious.

Sorry, should have realized that. Thanks to Bro Use for having my back.

Mock up of the VMP edition/variant:

Didn't want to create a new thread asking this since a few have ordered from B&N. How is their packaging of records? Proper LP mailers or huge-ass boxes like Amazon often uses?

When I ordered the B&N exclusive of Ryan Adams' 1989 it came in one of those LP-sized corrugated cardboard "pouches". Not as good as a regular LP mailer but it wasn't damaged.

Another variant:
