They wouldn't do a whole new mockup for this. JPC states it will be a gatefold too. I don't think so. VMP exclusives are pressed exclusively by them at their own factory. Otherwise, Blackground would already have the standard black copies ready and out in the hands of those that already purchased them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have more infos on this? I thought they are outsourcing the pressing. I've heard of the pressing plant they are currently planning in Denver but can't find anything on their current pressing plant. Just thought they have an exclusive deal with a pressing plant to get their copies faster than the usual customers. I doubt Blackground would have any connections like that, so it's understandable it's taking so long for them to get their black pressings done these days. They are nobodies to them tbh.

Just kidding- the Denver plant will now be their own personal plant. Previously, they have been using 2 plants to complete their orders: Quote In order to meet specific quality and production needs, VMP consistently utilizes two plants: Quality Record Pressings (QRP) in Salina, Kansas, and GZ Vinyl in the Czech Republic. Interview with CEO of VMP: https://companyweek.com/article/where-vinyl-me-please-manufactures The Aaliyah pressing from VMP is done by GZ Vinyl from Czech Republic. Some ppl already have the Ultimate Aaliyah 3lp pressing from Blackground and those, according to Discogs, were Made In Canada. Doesn't say who by, but I would assume with the prior info, the Aaliyah record from Blackground will not be the same as VMP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope VMP will extend their service and make it more European friendly in the future. I really like some of their pressings (visually speaking, never had the chance to spin one them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
