Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

How do you guys like the sound of this?

"Hey, uh, since you guys are keen on fucking us as of late, with this price hike and all, how about sending that Sahara and Fantasma while you're at it?"

Any takers on how this one will be ignored like the other emails I've sent?
 
You know if VMP does an email to members, IF, it's going to be the classic move of dumping the news at the end of the day on a Friday in the summer to try to go under the radar as much as possible.

I had almost no incentive to leave the month to month, but now I'm considering the $299 for a year since it's significantly cheaper than $43 a month. No chance I'm going to do month to month, or even 3 months at a time, the discount just isn't good enough.

Unpopular opinion to stay subscribed, but I really like their classics track and I'll add and drop RHH and Essentials when I want something.

These changes are definitely going to tighten my purchases up for add-on's to only tracks that I'm dead set on.

Yep me too, as an international I'm currently paying $47 a month for the main track. If I go one year on the discounted plan it actually drops to $41. It's risky because the real value was in the $23 side subs which are now $33 but... With a one in three chance of getting a good album... $41 CAD is still an slightly above average standard record price in Canada after tax... So I might be willing to roll the dice and continue on for a year at that price, until the new pricing kicks in or they go tits up.

Don’t do it...save your money for more MOFIs or APs

They're between $75-100 CAD now. I have to look for deals to make them palatable.

Yeah, there's no many AP pressings I want, but international shipping is just too much! Same case with MoFi, they're just too expensive for me to get. Speakers Corner reissues are priced decently in a store I buy from in Australia, but the MoFi's are still so expensive. So, I just go for Speakers Corner reissues now, but it would be nice to have the flexibility with MoFi and AP.

Some Speakers Corners are right there with AP in my books sound wise, the only difference I tend to find is the pressings can sometimes be a little more suspect... I almost never get any pops at all on APs, SC I sometimes have a few. But nothing terrible. I seek out SC and Pure Pleasure as much as I can simply because the APs and Mofi's are so damn expensive now.

Cancelled my Classics track. Haven't played any of the past couple months of that one anyway and the Erroll Garner wasn't that great of a pick - being that it can be found pretty regularly in the used bins for cheap. None of them have been worth 33 bucks for a long time.

I still have a couple months left of this 3 month sub of Essentials, so I'll wait and see what they have coming.

Went ahead and cancelled the Essentials, too.
 
sadly the hard part of those saying "just get mofis and AP instead"... i mean sure they have some very quality stuff but not everyone is going to want the harry belafonte and classical and jazz a lot of AP does.. and im not BIG on a lot of the classic rock that mofi does beyond dylan

VMP did pressings of popular records for people like me more into trendier art and more modern picks

Spot on there. MoFi do have Weezer still, but that's about it except the new wave stuff they did on the silver label. I wish they would do more things like Pixies, or at least repress them for people who didn't get them. They definitely do a lot of snooozer dad rock.

audiophile hip hop reissues are completely ignored and its not like VMP really does a great job there either...

the highest level pressing they did for one was slowthai since it was pressed by QRP, and besides that snoop dogg sounded fantastic... i want a hip hop title pressed on a high quality record... give us 2pac or kanye or the beastie boys on a high quality pressing (like how KSG is on RTI)
