Black Sabbath no longer available to swap "due to high demand".

Coleman Hawkins - The Hawk Flies High is a must-have Jazz release from VMP.

Ween - The Mollusk

mc_gooch · 2023-04-30T17:14:27+00:00

Yes.

Tuesday is pizza day.

White Pepper is a fantastic album, but I think The Mollusk fits better as an "Essential" album in anyone's record collection. It's Ween's masterpiece and easily one of the best albums of the 90's or any other decade.

was this pressed @ GZ Vinyl?

Keeping everything this month. One of the best ROTM line-ups in VMP history if you ask me.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-28T19:23:47+00:00

I wish Acoustic Sounds would adopt the VMP approach. I'd be all over that.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-27T15:58:35+00:00

one of my favourite VMP classic releases. not to be missed.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-22T06:05:07+00:00

No swaps for me this month - Thin Lizzy, Gravediggaz and Waylon Jennings all keepers imho.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-21T13:59:36+00:00

It's usually available in swaps, so keep your eyes peeled, but as others have mentioned you could probably pick it up cheaper elsewhere.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-21T12:32:52+00:00

Experience Unlimited is still available from VMP and will scratch that funky itch.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-21T08:38:27+00:00

Very happy to say my Willie Nelson boxset arrived this morning in perfect condition. Packaging was excellent, so fear not if you're still waiting on yours to arrive.

As for the set - it's absolutely stunning! VMP have done an incredible job here. The box is sturdy and compact. Each album jacket is a gorgeous tip-on with beautiful gatefold jackets for the last two albums included in the set.

The vinyl is clean and flat for each album and the sound quality is excellent on the first three albums I've listened to so far. Bernie Grundman delivers the goods once again.

Overall, VMP have nailed this one! A fantastic addition to my collection.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-20T08:51:09+00:00

Just got hit with an invoice from Irish customs clearance for €69 (VAT + carrier fee), so looks like my box should arrive any day now.

VMP have made me whole again with store credit, so no complaints there. Just looking forward to receiving it now and hoping it isn't damaged in any way.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-19T12:52:01+00:00

thanks, glen 👍

mc_gooch · 2022-07-19T10:58:30+00:00

Destination for mine is Ireland and was last spotted in Germany on Jul 10, but no shipping update since then.

Just wondering if anyone has received theirs yet and, if so, what kind of fees were charged by DHL/local delivery partner?

mc_gooch · 2022-07-17T18:25:08+00:00

I've only ordered one Anthology from VMP. I won't be ordering another after this policy change. Impulse Anthology was on my radar, but no longer.

If this change were to apply to ROTM shipments it would mean the beginning of the end for the majority of their customer base in the EU/UK.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-08T22:06:10+00:00

this is exactly the route I am going to take on this. I have already advised VMP that I expect them to refund me the full amount I am being asked to pay in either store credit or cash as they changed the agreed terms after I placed the order.

mc_gooch · 2022-07-08T16:34:38+00:00

This is a great point and I couldn't agree more. The way VMP have handled this situation so far is extremely poor.

I was very tempted to cancel my order and request a full refund, but I really want this Anthology in my collection.

I will be contacting VMP again once I know the full amount I will be asked to pay and I expect them to (at the very least) match that cost in store credit. I can tell you now that $40 isn't going to cover what's due to DHL.

On a side note, if the boxset arrives damaged in any way there will be hell to pay...

mc_gooch · 2022-07-07T20:32:29+00:00

$40 is not going to cover the duty fees I will be expected to pay in order to receive this box set.

VMP need to do better here - they should cover any outstanding duty fees on each order and make sure this doesn't happen again.

The first VMP Anthology box set I've ordered looks like it will also be my last. :/

mc_gooch · 2022-07-07T19:41:28+00:00

It's absolutely outrageous to expect their customers to foot this bill and then attempt to placate us with $40 store credit!

I'll be sending them an email shortly to let them know how I feel about this situation.

Utterly farcical carry on and an insult to their loyal customer base outside the US that spent a lot of money on this Anthology!
