Awww yes. Between new Josh, new The National, new Hiss Golden Messenger (rumored to be out 9/15), and *maybe/fingers crossed* new Julien Baker, September is gonna sound reallllllll good.

It actually isn't. http://forum.vinylmeplease.com/index.php?threads/july-17-member-store-picks.4796/page-61#post-376835

Waiting on VMP, esp. since I have the VMP variant of Lost In The Dream.

FYI - Vinyl Me Please will have an exclusive variant of the new album (Capacity) on opaque yellow /500 available in their store starting at 12pm ET on 6/19 for $23.

UK indies only or US indies too? Bull Moose appears to have only the standard black available currently.

Has anyone from VMP said/hinted anything about a variant? I don't frequent the VMP boards as much as I used to. I know VMP had exclusives of SSFDL and CT but those were both on Brassland not 4AD, so unless VMP has said something I don't think a VMP variant of SWB is inevitable.

They should have publicized what that stop date was, as the site still just says "This limited edition LP is being made available only for those who pre-order this bundle now." But I realize it's my own fault, I definitely had time/opportunity to order. The two things that held me back were the shipping cost and that I prefer Jason's later S:O and MECo. work to early S:O.

I think it's kind of crappy SC didn't just do an open order until the book was released i.e. for the entire pre-order period. The bundle sold out a lot earlier than I was expecting it to.

Yeah, you can't skip a month entirely or "bank" a swap for a future month. Each month, you'll either get the AOTM or swap it for a past AOTM or other record from the store (not all store records are available for swapping).

Don't think swapping will be an option for him, since single month members don't have the option to SWAP, only multi-month members.

Don't see why you're so bent out of shape, seems to me they offered you a perfectly reasonable alternative/workaround until the issue is resolved.

You have to sign up by the 15th of the month to get that month's record, so since you signed up after that you'll be getting Fiona. And I'm not 100% certain about this, but I think they may have changed it so that for monthly (i.e. single month/month-to-month, not multi-month) subscriptions you're charged right away. I assume this is to prevent people from signing up just to get access to/buy albums from their member store and then cancel before they get charged for the AOTM.

The guy above your post is a troll (in this thread at least) whose schtick is getting old.

Pretty much everything VMP related (AOTM announcements, store openings, etc.) happens at 12pm ET / 9am PT.

I wouldn't say they've been "reserving stock" of previous AOTMs for crate subscribers (or full subscribers who wanted a second copy), it's just that for previous AOTMs the supply (amount VMP pressed) has always exceeded the demand from full subscribers, so there were always some copies left over for crate subscribers. With DD, the demand from full subscribers for the AOTM exceeded the supply. EDIT: The original reason for the crate subscription was to guarantee non-full members access to the member store, not guarantee access to previous AOTMs.

All multi-month subscriptions now included unlimited swaps of the AOTM, so you should never have to get an AOTM you don't actually want.

Blue variant will be available in VMP's store starting at 12p ET / 9a PT on 4/17 for $24.00.

Yeah I think their total membership/subscribers is around there.

Put a 2 in front of both of those numbers and I think you'll be closer to the truth.

I have the marble grey from the 2nd 6131 pressing and don't think it sounds bad per se, but wondering if/hoping the Matador reissue will beat it.

Can someone that owns the Matador reissue of the LP please add it to Discogs? Also, for anyone that has the Matador and one of the 6131 pressings, any comment on sound/pressing quality comparisons?

And me. @ksuwdboots
