The word your looking for is “Retailer”, Walmart resells LPs. Thanks for you post. I do think your begging intro is just a little long but overall I like what you do. Txs so much
WalMart ceased selling censored albums years ago! The first uncensored album I remember was a friend buying a then current vinyl only Pantera collection.
I've gotten lots of Walmart exclusives targets had the John Lennon exclusive and best buy had a sly and the family stone if I go to a record store everytime I see zeppelin used they cot in the 40s new 25 or so. Also there always beat up or worn out oi don't see why not both local and new great topic
Walmart......free shipping/returns. Bought at least 25 this year, returned one because warped-mailman probably. . Have a ton of MoFi, Acoustic Sounds, etc, independent records stores in Hawaii not worth the drive, quality of the vinyl has been excellent.
I have several "exclusives" from walmart and target I'm happy with...even if it meant I had to exchange an album 3 or 4 times to get a copy that's not warped. You'd think they'd figure out how to handle and store them by now.
I used to think that way, until in the past few weeks I've seen a bunch of independent record stores buying up Black Friday $15 albums from Walmart and selling them for a big profit in their store!
I got the Metallica Black Album from Wal-Mart and it skips alot I have no idea why and its not even an exclusive it's the standard and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits and it skips and replays on one song but other than Wal-Mart's exclusives have been pretty kind to me
The only gripe I have about Wallmart and Target releases is that they are not available for purchase overseas. Can't get them here in Australia unless you want to pay the ridiculous prices from flippers.
Thanks again for all the cool info! Of the exclusive walmart releases, how exclusive are they? How do we know how many pressings of a particular album were actually made?
They are "exclusive" only because that color is only available at Walmart. My only complaint is that I'd love to know how many copies are pressed of these releases. Walmart never releases that information, and a lot of times they will reissue older exclusives 6-12 months after they were first released.
Just because they are Walmart doesn’t necessarily make them cheaper, their colored Metallica are a couple bucks more than the standard reissues and the ones with replica back stage passes or tickets etc are $4 or $5 more
My Walmart doesn’t have too many exclusives. I do buy music from Walmart. However, I shop online and all stores that sells music. I don’t hear you speak about buying music at Target. Any reason for that? The Target I shop at do have exclusives. Thanks for sharing!✌🏽
Target doesn’t have as big of a selection of exclusive releases but I have several from them also. I think Target focuses more on selling exclusives of new releases, whereas Walmart has exclusives of new releases and quite a few new reissues.
I have that American Idiot Red Vinyl that is on the cover. I have 10 Walmart Exclusive Vinyl and Megadeth’s new album The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! on Walmart Exclusive Colored Vinyl is on the way!
I really don't care if vinyl outsells CDs. Truth be known, they're probably lying. I absolutely refuse to pay those prices. I'll always buy CDs and cassettes. They're a whole lot less expensive, and cassettes sound about the same, and CDs sound a whole lot better.
According to James they do have their own presses for their label in Germany, but you are right that these were pressed at Pallas where the last remasters were done. I wonder if it’s just smaller runs (like fan club releases) that they are pressing.
I have a ton of Walmart exclusives never hadca problem with any of them. People confuse poor quality and their hatred for Walmart which are not the same thing.
Yeah, I’ve seen comments from people saying that they don’t trust Walmart to press records. It always makes me laugh a little. They are just the distributor, it’s not like they have a pressing plant somewhere kicking out these records.
No, and they no longer sensor CDs either. They use to not sell anything that had a parental advisory sticker, but those days are long over. The only Walmart exclusive record I know of that is censored is Creed’s greatest hits, but that was a band/label decision and the only way it’s available. I believe it’s also censored on streaming services.
@@TheVinylDen I had a suspicion. I had read that on discogs review. They're definitely a greatest hits band to me, and I wasn't familiar with the track that was censored anyway.
Walmart is a category killer. They hurt independent record stores , they also have a long history of dumbing down the quality of many products. Supporting them in any form is doing harm to the overall vinyl business. Especially the independent record stores.
My local Walmart keeps expanding their album section and I never see anyone looking at them except for me.

I just picked up the Walmart exclusive of Plastic Beach by the Gorillaz and it sounds fantastic!

Ernie was removed from the cover for legal reasons.
I've got quite a few Walmart exclusives. Haven't had any issues.

i picked up the Red Vinyl version of American Idiot,this morning ,there's a sight warp, but plays great still.

Pre-ordered from Walmart the new Megadeth blue/green vinyl and sounds excellent imo
Never had the Master Of Puppets LP on vinyl, so I bought that one at Wal- Mart..
I only support independent sellers or record stores for vinyl/cds. They need your money more than Walmart and Amazon.

Cool vinyl Metallica Green day thanks for vidéo
walmart is def selling some vinyl albums with the explicit lyric warning sticker,that's fine with me,i hate censorship on music!
Me too. Music should never be censored!
I am generally happy with walmart and target exlusives.Many, if not all of them, are just the same as the ones you buy in the usual record stores.
I easily have at least 40+ Walmart and Target exclusives and really haven’t had an issue with any of them that I can think of.
Just spent a bunch of muny on the $15 dollar black friday deals
I got the Metallica Black Album from Wal-Mart and it skips alot I have no idea why and its not even an exclusive it's the standard and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits and it skips and replays on one song but other than Wal-Mart's exclusives have been pretty kind to me

Yeah, I really don’t understand why they aren’t more widely available.

Any day we can save money on Vinyl is a Good Day !!

Pretty sure they got into some legal issues over the Ernie on back of the Dookie cover and had to take it off.
I wouldn’t be surprised
I have that American Idiot Red Vinyl that is on the cover. I have 10 Walmart Exclusive Vinyl and Megadeth’s new album The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! on Walmart Exclusive Colored Vinyl is on the way!
I can’t wait to check out that new Megadeth album.

I haven't bought any Walmart exclusives as they don't have many that interests me as I usually like indie music.
Fair enough. Although they aren’t exclusive releases, Target has a huge selection of indie releases on their website.
I got a ton of these for $15 each a couple of weeks ago
It was a great sale! I was able to pick up some great albums that I probably wouldn't have bought at regular prices.
Metallica does not have their own pressing plant… their Walmart reissues were pressed at Pallas.
According to James they do have their own presses for their label in Germany, but you are right that these were pressed at Pallas where the last remasters were done. I wonder if it’s just smaller runs (like fan club releases) that they are pressing.
Great info until it oddly became about Green Day
Well, it’s about Walmart exclusive releases which included the series of Green Day exclusive releases they released.

Does walmart censor their vinyls like they do with cds?
No, and they no longer sensor CDs either. They use to not sell anything that had a parental advisory sticker, but those days are long over. The only Walmart exclusive record I know of that is censored is Creed’s greatest hits, but that was a band/label decision and the only way it’s available. I believe it’s also censored on streaming services.
Why do you remind me of Lou Ferrigno?
😂
Was that censored album creed?
That Dookie press should be brown.
Yes, it was the Creed greatest hits. I’m pretty sure it was only ever available as a censored album, so it must have been a band/label decision.
