When you sign up for a subscription there's a lengthy list of records to select from for your first record of the month! 

And yes, their customer service is very helpful. If you think about signing up, let me know and I can give you a referral code that would be take some money off your sub.

Thank you!  Send me your referral info and I'll try to have them hook you up too

Not sure if anyone can answer this (I may have to contact VMP)

I ordered the Dead set, but now I think it would be worth it just to do a month subscription because I wanna get that jazz bundle too so I'll save like $25 overall.  

My question... if I do a month subscription can I pick out a record (and any album)?  I'm just not familiar with them.  I'm assuming their customer service is fine?  I wouldn't think cancelling a per-order or making a membership retroactive would be a problem, but any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks folks!

Would that discount work on the Dead box set? It is a pre-order, so I'm assuming not.

It does!

I started getting into jazz a lot more over the years, I must be getting old.  Haven't dug into Mingus much, but I'm going to check out some of these albums as well. 

It doesn't really give any info about recut/remastering, so I would assume these are just pressed from the plates they have now?  I bet Mike from the in groove would know.

I'm so happy about this!  I thought I was going to have to pay out the ass, now I might even get a return

I've discussed it with my homeowners agent and they said it would be covered. But that I also needed to maintain proof of everything, which they suggested making a video of the collection and having it saved somewhere outside the home. Not exactly the easiest thing to do for a big collection where you have to show the specificity of pressings. 

Yeah I'm on my way to 3k+ at this point, did you flip through every single record or just the spines?

I just switched my homeowners insurance policy.  When I asked the agent to add the "High" discogs value of my collection, he basically said that would all be covered in my "Possessions" part of my policy or something confusing like that. 

I'm curious what kind of insurance you all have on your collection?  Do you have a separate policy for your collection or is it included in home owners?  Did you have an appraisal?  I feel like if I had to do an appraisal it would take forever.  The agent seemed skeptical that "old records" could be worth money.  I know most insurance companies are only worried about their profits.  Would they go off a discos collection page?

I don’t think it matters if it’s a big band. Look at this Clapton thing from December…

it’s also been random what boots are allowed to sell on Discogs too? Seems like no rhyme or reason as too what their marketplace will allow for boots.

 

Jesus, that's a little insane on Clapton's part.  What's the reasoning behind it? He's worth $450 million dollars for fucks sake.  Reminds me of the whole Metallica/Napster bullshit.

Yeah I think discogs is pretty random, but it seems like it takes awhile for them to take them down.  If they're newer they're probably fair game.

I really think it depends on whether or not the listing gets reported. 

Mine are usually bigger bands like Pink Floyd and Zeppelin.  I guess I assumed the bands had people who actively search for boots.

It's annoying that eBay removes boots.  I've had this happen many times.  Anyone know if there's a work around?  Sometimes people are allowed to sell the same record that I had removed.  Is it just the wording?  Or maybe the country of the seller?  It seems like shit from Italy never gets removed.  Do they not have copyright laws?  Can I just change my country and offer free shipping?

Haven't done VIP myself yet, but from what I've seen posted online, the signed print looks like an 8x10 live shot of the band signed by Isaac. Don't believe there is a photo op or a formal meet and greet type of situation, looks like just a small set of 3-4 songs that aren't on the setlist, a little pre selected Q&A, and the swag. VIPs who have met them and taken photos with them seem to be only meeting them after the show. I imagine they'll be even more cautious with their interactions during VIP now that they had that covid outbreak among the band last week. 

Thanks!  That's kind of what I gathered.  Sounds like you have to presubmit questions for the Q&A which is kinda lame.  I wanted to ask Isaac what his favorite dinosaur was.  Not really a fan of the print either, the three songs might be cool, but not sure it's with the extra $.  It's not really as personal as I imagined.

Has anyone seen them on their current tour and done VIP?  I'm curious if there was a meet &great/photo op and what the signed print looks like.

Still available?

Reflektor was mostly shit, but Electric Blue is my fucking jam!

It looks like the splatter on their site also comes with a signed print too:

Nice!  I wonder how limited it is?

Long shot, but did anyone get an extra signed copy?  MM is my favorite band and I'm bummed I missed this....

YES!   One of the bundles on his site includes  an "Original handmade line drawing of José Gonzalez made by the album artwork designer Hannele Ferstrom (@hannele_gernstrom).  Drawing is signed by José and Hannele.  Limited and numbered to 250 copies worldwide."

I wonder if each individual piece is hand drawn or if it is an original that is copied?

Very tempting, but I'd rather have a shirt than a tote...

LOL, I'm sure the FTC will be all over this, probably have people working in shifts.

You'd have to be high for this

This reminds me of the Neil Young After the Gold Rush 50th anniversary.   It's just the album, a 7" and a litho for $100.  I love Neil, but such an easy pass.

Chic Fil-a al tastes like bigotry.  

Also press XXYYXX - XXYYXX on vinyl, I would easily pay $100, but I think the whole reason it never got pressed was because of some of the samples....

The amount of anger and aggression here is pretty over the top.  I know the holidays can be stressful but geez.

Talk about going postal....
