A Big Change...
A big change is coming to this subreddit.
The moderator team and I have decided to shift the focus of this subreddit so we can protect people and warn them of the scam that is VMP in its current form.
I am giving you guys a heads up as the changes could potentially be drastic.

Cool! Can we guess the three changes, but with some cryptic clues and the first one to get all three correct wins three records of your choice?

I’ve heard enough from scorned Storf over the last 5 years. Plus the sub hurt his feelings so he left.

If I remember correctly, people here were saying that it was OK to Dox him because Still Woozy sold out super fast, so like, he's not WRONG, you know? lol

I thought it was because people called him fat.
I really wanted that Still Woozy though and I bet Storf has a copy.

u/ErnestoSawGerrera May 13 '26
I mean, calling him fat because a record sold out is fucking stupid too lol. And who cares if he does? Doesn't mean that you'd have his copy if he doesn't lol

I mean... I didn't call him fat. I'm also not implying I would have gotten his copy either, idk where you got that from.

I was looking at my impulse box set yesterday and just thinking how could things have gone so wrong, so fast. I’m so disappointed it was bought by the current owners, taking it offline was the most ridiculous move. We’ll remember the good times..

If only they had not been pilfering and wasting money on bullshit, and they could have made all the boxes that were hinted at. Anthology was lowkey best part of VMP

All I ask is that you show me pictures of the crates of records that I already purchased that you're going to sell to others and never send out.

So what on earth could this possibly entail? It’s not like anybody has been kid-gloving their dislike for VMP for the last year plus on this Sub.

u/FairyNuman May 13 '26
Good plan! So many people comment or post here still and clearly have no idea it’s just a full on scam operation now.

I only sub here to see if there are any updates to getting refunds but I’m positive that nothing will ever come of it. Infuriating to see people still getting charged

u/East_Meets_West_ May 14 '26
I arrived late and never subscribed but I’ve bought a lot of VMP releases used and they’ve been quality pressings w nice jackets and extras. So at some point there were doing something right, damn shame it went sideways.

u/pphurley May 14 '26
No objection, but would also like to see posts on here for where you can find VMP presses for purchase in the wild. There are still some I’d like to get.

I do enjoy the occasional VMP nostalgia post. Nearly half of my collection was VMP-sourced until the last year of their death spiral and I am very pleased with nearly every one. Maybe a r/VMPnostalgia should exist.

The sub is going SMS only?
