Catcha / Tiger

A. Their pressing's sound quality is almost always top notch as is the packaging.  There are numerous instances of their version sounding better than the readily available one.  See Weezer and the Fugees.  
 
B. Their taste in music is vaired and top rate.  Have there been some questionable new release picks over the years?  Sure.  But in the past 1 1/2 years there have only been 3 or so AotM that I straight up don't like.
 
C) Fiona and Gorillaz are not the only example of them pressing something out of print.  See The Books and Menomena (two of my favorite indie albums of the 00's), Wells Fargo amd Beck (though that did see a black varient released at the same time).
 
D.  They do 5 or so exclusive pressings every month.  Most of which quickly increase in value.  You are given the choice to swap for some of these if you dont like the AotM.
 
All this bitching is fucking ridiculous.  I let my membership lapse here and there when finances are tight, but Vinyl Me Please is about as well run of a small business as I can think of.  If it's not for you, thats fine.  But if your collection isnt 500+ albums deep and you're complaining about their choice in music chances are your have narrow and/or shitty taste...  And for the record, I swapped Morby for Beck, was ecstatic when Demon Days was announced and have no fucking trouble tracking down new music to listen to on my own.  
 
 
 

Fiona and Perfume arrived today, along with the secret 7". This Fiona vinyl is no joke, nearly 200g, great dynamics, perfect piano, sweet/smooth bass.  

I saw Thom Yorke in a grocery store in LA today. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Thom trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I saw that! I replied to his reply and told him I would cut my balls off for a blue press. He said he'd get the whole gang to sign it for me and lick each side of the record, then personally deliver it to me. Great guy, decent customer service.

I am extremely mad at myself for kinda wanting this even though I have the black.

That is ugly as shit.

Got all sorted out by VMP now. They cancelled my Crate sub and refunded me and I'm all set with the 1-month sub.  Most excellent. 

A 1996 price would have been nice.

I am not familiar with this album but are very happy to forego coloured vinyl for 45rpm.  Good decision VMP

I signed up last night only for Tidal and purposely DIDN'T use anyone's referral code from here just for spite.  

not lucky, it's just a really good pressing.
There is a just a vocal minority complaining. 
VMP has posted that they have had less than a 2% return/complaint rate which from what they say is better than any of their previous releases.
This record has just drawn out a lot of crosley fans that like to complain.

Received the blue version today. I don't remember it being advertised, but it came with an autographed 7" of High Ticket Attractions. The b-side is a cover of Jigsaw's Sky High, if anyone remembers that gem.

Excellent now there's still room for more shitty soundtracks to get a repress

If next month is Hoobastank I'm renewing instantly. 

Not gonna pick this one up. Any output after they fired Sir Topham Hatt as manager in the middle of the 2012 Japanese tour is garbage IMO.

Now we're getting somewhere.
