Even if you're flipping, why 15 fuckin' copies? Aren't VMP exclusives like $27 apiece? That's a long road to make a buck. 

The AoTM are 27 because it includes shipping built into the cost.  Most the exclusives are in the 21 to 24 dollar range with some falling below or above that.

Meanwhile, I alerted VMP about Balto yesterday via the forums and they said they would be looking for those type of orders, canceling them and putting any vinyl from them back into the inventory.

They are hoping to have a new version of the store that caps purchase #'s in the near future.

I don't think Rough Trade send out confirmation emails, you can check on your account when your "order is complete" though

Yeah, checked on this last night and it was still listed as being in the 2nd step (can't remember the terminology but basically-- order confirmed).

They have yet to charge my bank account either. Getting antsy.

my yellow copy sounds really wonky on the first few seconds of track A1, but becomes pretty much flawless sounding after that. 

Appreciated.  I've heard previous pressings are very sporadic in their quality so I'll be interested to hear from others as well.  Fell asleep to it for like the 100th time last night and gonna snag this as soon as I get  my next paycheck. 

Can someone report back on sound quality if yellow please?

Nice.  Now Sea Change, Mellow Gold and Modern Guilt (so I don't have to import the XL repress) please.

I called, and someone said they should still have the autograph even if it says cancelled. Though I'm not sure how much I trust the person I spoke to as she admitted to not knowing too much. 

Thanks.  Any word on shipping date?  Worst comes to worst and it's not autographed I'll just file a claim with my bank wind up with half my $$$ back and still have the album. 

Has anyone actually confirmed these are canceled?   And what's the number that people are calling to deal with this.  I don't give two fucks about whether it's a squiggle or not-- can't expect much more than that with the # he has to sign-- but they better be refunding my $$$ if this isn't going through... 

Thanks for the responses guys.

Bummed they ended the 25% off right as I was about to place an order but that's not why I'm bumping this... I gotta question.

Bout to order 6 records but one of them is a pre-order and, thus, would be shipped separate of the others.  Does anybody have experience with CC and the mailing of single records?   I've ordered twice from them without problem, but both times they were large orders that came packed together in a large box.... 

Would have been all over this at any other point in time during the past 12 months.   Can't justify it right now so I'm glad it's sold out.

Also at Amoeba: http://www.amoeba.com/golden-sings-that-have-been-sung-deep-cuts-edition-lp-ryley-walker/albums/3845091/

 

 

 

I already ordered from Amazon but... does Amoeba charge at PO or upon shipping? 

So in other words these have been pressed but K-DOT's intern has been too busy to get around to these. 

This album is dope.   Any pictures of the purple pressing leaked yet?  Wanna see how close they are to the mock-ups being spending so much for a variant upgrade.

if I get a crate sub now I can get the weezer and fugees? Will I be able to preorder albums as well like the CSH one?

Yes

VMP got back to me. They said "they ship out any record that has been paid for."  So you can order a record from the store and then not renew for next month. 

Cool beans.

Really hope this is the case as I've decide I'm probably gonna cancel but have ordered Sia/CSH and still want them.  All these amazing May releases have destroyed my wallet, and I've decided I need the FLUME deluxe after hearing the album. 

Also, I just clarified how the swap works for anyone who is curious.  Basically, you can swap once during your three month plan and are allowed to switch for any in stock AotM from the past or a handful of select titles (this month Pink Floyd, Jurassic 5 are among the options).

looking forward to the wells fargo release. way better than months when i got shafted with torres or lapsley. have a hard time giving those records away.

seems like the service is doing well. i would favor an option that allows me to opt out of a certain genre and get a different store record that month instead.

I actually like that Torres album a lot but I agree it shouldn't have been a featured album considering it was a single LP easily found for under 20 buck when released.  Keep those type of albums as store exclusives.

And definitely need better secondary options for AoTM when you have more than a month to month subscription....

I completely agree, it is nice seeing them not being afraid to do some less known underrated music like this instead of just re-releasing a bunch of stuff that is already readily available.

A lot of people do seem excited about it, I guess all these songs were only previously available on separate 7"/45's until now.

 

There is also the full track to the title song on there official page as well.

Wells Fargo - Watch Out! (Vinyl Me, Please Release Page)

I actually really like that song... that said, I'm sure it will be available for the next 6 months or so (plenty of time for somebody to upload it somewhere) whereas the Dilla is getting low in stock. 

I'm honestly intrigued by it and think it's cool that they are basically doing some archival type shit.  That said, I also refuse to pay 27 bucks for something I haven't heard even a full song of.   Will probably upgrade to the 3 month plan so I can swap out for Dilla (and then see how people react when it drops and whether it leaks).

I feel like it's been totally lost again that just because it's a parlophone disc doesn't mean it's the superior version. There have been multiple plates used for Parlophone pressings and the only original one still being used is OKC. Ah well. I'm not fucking with any of these until they're XL all the way through.

The other exception to OKC being Amnesiac as copies of that with a new matrix runout starting showing up mid-last year.

Either way, I'm holding off til XL has their pressings done.
