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

But the add-ons are going to be $10 more. I definitely won't be getting all the R&HH ROTM's now, only ones I am super keen to grab!

It does make me more lucky to have free membership because I know I'd still be a member, even with this increase in pricing. So I'm very fortunate to be getting any ROTM free + being a member!
the question is how much longer do you think the club will last


with all the heavy investment they tried to do RIGHT BEFORE covid and the loss in subscribers AND not even talking about how they do not stan by a scummy flipper and say they are trying to stop it..

shits going down
 
Fun fact: My fiancé and I actually met Frank Ocean at like 2AM on a summer night in SoHo New York, we were walking down a block on our way to the subway and there was only another person on our block walking towards us so naturally I sized up anybody walking around alone at 2AM and it turned out to be Frank. I turned to my fiancé as he was passing us and said

me: “That’s Frank Ocean”
Her: “No it’s not. I know what Frank Ocean looks like!”
Me: “Apparently you don’t cause that’s 100% Frank Ocean...”

She then turned on her heel and took off full sprint after him down the block. She stopped him and said “Oh my god, you’re Frank Ocean!” to which he didn’t seem to know how to respond to this observant little sprite. We then went on a diatribe about how much he meant to us, she gave him a big hug, I shook his hand, we asked “When’s the album coming?” He said “Very soon actually!” and we parted ways, Blond ending up coming out a few months later! He was wonderfully nice and tolerant considering we mobbed on him at 2 in the morning, a bit awkward as I was expecting. Overall a really awesome memory!

I think they will at least last another year. I am not certain about the branding though. I'm not sure if the company will be called Vinyl Me, Please anymore within the next 6 months! But yes, I think VMP will be around for a long time, despite all the controversies they have.

Oh My God, WOW! That's incredible!!! 😲

So happy your fiancé sprinted and stopped Frank Ocean! 👏👏👏
 
This is a good thing. Stop giving this joke of a company your hard earned money, or soft earned. I don’t know what you do. And just take the money and directly support the artist or your local store.
Also, make sure you hit up bandcamp tomorrow and take some of that cancel money and support your favorite artist or discover a new one.
This. Finally snagging that banger new Dehd album and the Steve and Teresa record for Bandcamp Friday. ✌️
 
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)
The Beastie Boys Reissues are all Pretty great.
 
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 henry 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
This is a wildly good point! And one that I hadn’t considered.

Thank you!
