faaip de oiad Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I wanted to start with Betty as well. I just can't keep up with all my Preorders so I just opted in with NIN to be safe even tho I've had one since 2017. I don't own a copy of MNM so I'll just go with it. I'll prolly opt out after Betty tho. I might just sell my NIN copy at some point since there's nothing I really need from it. I happen to like my Def copy a lot anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skycriesmary Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Re: Downward Spral reissue. I'm finally getting around to getting around to spinning this and gotta say I'm disappointed. There are multiple skips, and looking at the album while playing it's obviously warped like a frisbee on the outside. Anyone else experience getting a warped copy. I guess I'll see how good Interscope's customer service is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll see how good Interscope's customer service is. Customer service was awesome. My first copy had a giant seam split. I sent a picture and they had a new copy in my hands within a week. And they didn't even ask for the old one back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) holy shit that Eminem sold out IMMEDIATELY. I had been checking periodically today to sign back up and grab that one and its gone That also makes me wonder. If more than 3000 people are already pre signed up for a subscription how does that work if theres only 3000 copies available?

Fowty Dollaz Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I mean, I've been signed up from the jump and haven't missed one (obviously), but they said in an email a week or two ago that "there are a few slots available for Eminem," so it must be strictly limited to 3000. Depending on what comes after, I may free up a spot for No Doubt, but tbd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was so worried about. 2500 to 3000 for a sub service doesn't make any sense! Luckily I signed up for NIN. As soon as I get my Helmet, I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my eyes on emails from them in case they announce additional slots. If I learn anything, I'll post it. JohnMatrix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Damn...if I knew it was going to be such a hot ticket item I would have not cancelled my sub. I was planning to re-up for Helmet. Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I get the allure of these super limited exclusive versions but it kind of sucks you basically need to keep your subscription going and pay for albums you have no interest in if you want to get something you like. I don't want Billie Eilish or No Doubt but it's almost like you have to just pay the money and get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Billie Eilish or No Doubt but it's almost like you have to just pay the money and get them This is exactly what I've done. It really kind of sucks, but also, I could maintain the entire collection depending on how long it lasts. On the up side of it, it looks like it's pretty easy to get your money back on most releases if you unload them on Discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 So my friend that worked for Capitol now works over at Interscope (Capitol had huge layoffs). So I’m trying to get some more insight into the “club”. Coincidentally she knows the dude that kinda started it. She’s only been there a month now, but I’m just gonna try to get whatever inside info she has.

Sad Heart Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Anyone have any suggestions I can pass along to maybe improve the process? Like how you can “skip” with VMP and get credit, instead of having to cancel, and later rejoin and possibly losing your spot? Maybe just a skip/pause feature. Also here are some photos of the Eminem release: IndigoHollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old FedEx. 3 different times from different shops I had something ship from a city that was 40 minutes away and it would travel to Northern California to Nevada, to 2-3 different east coast states, back to Nevada and then finally to Southern California. 2 weeks to go from Los Angeles to Orange County. When I called they said if their distribution center is full then it gets transferred to the next closest. Seems like a very inefficient system and makes sense to why costs are so high. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I know that there was tornado touchdown around the Kansas/ Missouri area which was where it last reported. So I dunno. It left the Detroit area on May 1st. It's as if it's on a cross country road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hung out in Ohio longer than anyone should be forced to. Hopefully it doesn't hit Jersey too, the poor package! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
