Vinyl Me, Please (VMP) will have an exclusive variant of this.

Hard Love will be available on Purple Vinyl as a member store exclusive on February 16th (LTD to 500).

Which IMO is kind of odd that Secretly Distribution/Dead Oceans would let VMP have an exclusive variant, since their own label membership/club (Secretly Society) has one too.

is there something wrong with soundstagedirect that I am missing? do they not fulfill orders? otherwise, why pay $10 more?

In my experience they're not the fastest on shipping. I wouldn't expect to have these until 4-6 days after release date.

does anyone kindly know why the Bullmoose homepage isn't working in European countries? i NEED to get my hands on the opaque red RM, but i can't access their site. Is there something wrong with my VPN settings or browser preferences? I'd absolutely appreciate anyone's answers.

It's not you. BullMoose's site isn't accessible (and therefore doesn't ship to) outside the US.

Inventory going up?

Now at 2,563.

 

Weird....(watching it lest a crazy buying spree happens and I need to pull the trigger before next Friday..)

Maybe someone(s) had some copies in their cart and either emptied it manually or system did it automatically after a certain amount of time had passed.

So that whole Jedi returning bit was a bit of a letdown if we're already back to the last one.

Remember that (just like vinyl) the plural of Jedi is Jedi. So The Last Jedi doesn't necessarily mean a single last Jedi.

They got rid of Crate when they started their new "Exclusives" policy.  Now Curated albums are Exclusive to members for 7 days, Store Exclusives for 30 days and Albums of the Month for 30 days.  After those windows anyone can buy them (but they pay shipping).  I believe anyone who was already Crate was grandfathered in.  

Albums of the Month for 365 days.

Does anyone have/know of an active code for Merge Records (www.mergerecords.com)? Thanks!

At what point should I cancel to be sure I don't get charged for another month (which I heard can happen)?

Before the 2nd.

If I order today (the 15th) do I still get Panda Bear?

 

+anyone got a referral code, if so?

Yep, today's the last day. Check your PMs.

How can you tell how many are remaining?

Put a big number in the Qty. box and click Add to cart button.

Time to take it to PMs boys.

I'd like to have that Stoner Swirl but don't really want/care about the rest of the bundle. I wonder if the Stoner Swirl will show up at indie record stores.

so i don't need to make a membership? i can just wait for the store to open and check out ? I am now also interested in the Devendra Banhart currently in the store. would be cool to get both during same transaction.

If you're not a member, you have to wait 30 days after VMP exclusives are released to be able to purchase. Since the Banhart exclusive was released a couple months ago you can buy it now, but you'll have to wait until 1/19 to buy the Ricky Eat Acid exclusive if you don't buy a membership. If you buy a membership on or before 12/19 (when the REA exclusive is released) you'll be able to buy it on 12/19 when it's released.  

FYI - There was a report from someone on the Hold Steady board that the B side of their Sep Sunday was pressed way off-center. Hope it's not a widespread issue.

FTFY

Since you have all the answers, how does one create a VMP account without being/becoming a paying (active) member?

3 minutes ago, antisyntax said:

dunno what all the confusion is about.. if you're not an active member and want something, all you have to to is pay shipping instead of getting it shipped free.

you don't have to be a paying (active) member to buy member exclusives, just as long as you have an account, it's just gonna be $6 more expensive than an active account 

You're forgetting about the member exclusive windows.

Exclusive members-only purchase windows are as follows:

VMP Archive (Past Monthly-Feature Albums) – 12 months

VMP Member Store Exclusives – 30 days

VMP Non-Exclusive Curated Vinyl – 7 days

A non-member can't buy the VMP exclusive variant of Danny Brown until 11/17 (assuming there are any left by then).

I don't think they're offering the crate anymore...right?

In a blog post on 10/6 they said they are eliminating the Crate membership for new signups, effective immediately.

But it looks like the Crate subscription page is still available: http://vinylmeplease.com/crate/

So not sure.

Thanks I had no idea about the crate thing. I'll probably just do that. 

You can buy both Danny Brown and Fugees with a crate subscription (assuming it's still available, they announced recently they wouldn't be accepting new crate subscriptions).

Like this album, but won't be able to swing this unless it goes on sale.

Same. Really wish the Discs 1&2 were getting a standalone release; After the Bombs is one of my favorite Decemberists songs.

The last song (Virtute At Rest) flat killed me. So bittersweet.

Still only in for the Dylan, hoping there will be more announced

In for Angel Olsen + Dylan. I'll be working from 6AM most likely so hopefully those are still available later in the afternoon.

The Dylan is an indie store exclusive but not a RSD BF exclusive. You can pre-order it from Bull Moose: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/23921315/bob-dylan-the-real-royal-albert-hall-1966-concert-2-lp-140g-vinyl-gatefold-sleeve-indie-exclusive
