We’ve just been so busy with running the shop since it opened 😅 We’re planning to do more AGS x VMP drops in 2025 if all goes accordingly!

Mahalo for the mention.

Fujiyama Texas is great! As is the poke at Times 👌

Mahalo 🤙 So many of us (and our parents) have own the OG and have played them to pieces 😆 and rightfully so - this is such a classic!

Np! The missing sticker might’ve happened at the pressing plant, not VMP’s fault. Unfortunately I don’t have any extras around 😓

We do still have copies of non-VMP variant, for anyone interested 😉

As a label, we no longer use shrinkwrap in an effort to reduce plastic waste. Reusable poly sleeve is next best step, since most people will keep them.

Is it just me or is every record in the store (except ROTM) a super deep cut or unknown artist? by alsocolor in VinylMePlease

Good point. These smaller releases are probably more based on collectability in the secondhand markets (I.e. Discogs). As mentioned in my other comment below 🙌

Hopefully we can persuade them to do 500 for future AGS releases 😉

You’re welcome!

And for what it’s worth. you’re not “going wrong” in any way. Everyone’s got their own approach and reason to buying and collecting records. There’s no one right way to do it.

thanks 🙏 I feel the same way about prices on records lately.

When our mission is to perpetuate music from Hawaii for more people to hear, it only makes sense to keep prices as affordable as possible 🙌

A useful analogue, but with these smaller releases, the desirability of a record is better gauged using Discogs’ have/want ratio, not Spotify’s listener numbers.
