filthyrich Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Counterpoint to the guy bitching: Until DD, you basically paid $4-6 a month (vs. $25-29 a month) and you had the option of buying every single AOTM up to this point... albeit a month late, but with the added bonus that you could pass on any album you didn't care about. DD was the first time your plan backfired on you, but let's not pretend you weren't getting the better end of the deal for the last couple years.

DecayToDeath Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Mine should be here Monday. Anyone have reports of sound quality? I know it's half-speed so it should be good but it's nice to know. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneThreeOneTwo Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Inside cover. So the new VMP Exclusives include the soundtrack to Belladonna of Sadness, which is a weird, psych-prog jam for the most trippy 70s Japanese anime film ever.

erikness Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 UPDATE: Demon Days sounds fucking great. Took a vid, but the fidelity doesn't really come thru. I have never heard the original pressing, but this one sounds awesome. Packaging is nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I'm interested in hearing an A/B comparison between the original and the VMP. I have the original, and the only fault I can find is that it's a tad bit bass heavy. However sonically it sounds great, clear, and crisp. LOL at the eBay prices $150+. Someone on Discogs is selling one for $100. That's the lowest I've seen. People are fools to pay these prices. It was just released and has been confirmed to have been pressed over 25,000 times. This is far from limited. Just be patient if you must. This reminds me of the clear Blackstar everyone was paying $500 for 2 days after it was released.

agaetisbyrjun Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Someone was saying that apparently the tracks don't fade into each other? Can anyone confirm? Edited April 9, 2017 by agaetisbyrjun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that too, which is kinda weird and--if true--the only valid complaint about the release so far. You'd think they wouldn't fuck that up, though.

I have an original, and don't need the new one, so the prices don't affect me. Like I said, there were 25,000!!!!+ pressed, so it's not like it's a rare press. People just need to be patient and not want one. Unless, I'm misunderstanding what I read. Thought I read somewhere between 25k and 40k were pressed. If that's the case, they will be available for years to come. That seems like a very high number to me. As far as the Bowie Blackstar clear goes, those $300+ prices are still ridiculous. It's the exact same press as the original run of the black. I have both and I can confirm that much. Only difference is the color.

stl_ben Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 His pressing numbers are correct. Maybe only 450 show owning it because they just started shipping them?! vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in PA and I didnt get mine yet. And not everyone uses Discogs. I'd day those pressing numbers are about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD was the first time your plan backfired on you, but let's not pretend you weren't getting the better end of the deal for the last couple years. I am a crate subscriber, and I bought this month to ensure I got DD. I had no desire to compete with others for the chance to buy later. Given the release importance and demand, it was a no-brainer. If anything, I might request a reimbursement or store credit for my crate fee since I bought this month... but Im keeping my crate membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
