$43 a month, that is going to be a no from me dawg.

This month 2 tracks cost me 53 dollars next month it would be 85 dollars for same service. Thats nuts. That's a massive increase @Twentytwo

Holy shit, $43 a month?? Is that the monthly subscription? I’ve been out for a while now, a little OOTL

I mean their picks lately are not very good, so I’ve been out on them. But this guarantees I won’t be back. They’re clearly now crashing and losing more memberships...and will 100% lose even more with this price increase.

Its actually up from 40 dollars to 52 dollars for my monthly international sub
INSANE!!

To be offering up a single record for that price monthly, you gotta be like a high-end premium sort of club (Third Man is one of the priciest subscriptions but it’s been more worth it than not...with albums and extras uniquely fitted for the club). VMP is not that.

Ok now they have offended me

Nah they have truly driven the price way up high. I've got records from them the past while I didnt necessarily want e.g. Salt N Pepa, they rarely ever have store exclusives I want so what do I get from the membership? Certainly not enough for 52 dollars no way

@Jmcg85 They have some cool records but they aren't worth 52 a month or even $43 a month. I have been with Magnolia Record club since its inception and continues you being $25 a dollars a month. You paying $52 a month for shitty customer service and damaged records. I will pass. I don't think this going to help them, espcecially in a pandemic when people are out of work.

totally agree @Twentytwo

@mitchplease crunched the domestic numbers. The % increases are insane and I dont even want to see the international ones
Domestic
Monthly: $31>$43 = 38.7%
3 Month = $81>$119 = 47%
6 Month = $150>$219 = 46%
1 Year = $299>$399 = 33%
Swap = $23>$33 = 43.5%

@Jmcg85 the SWAP increase feels the most brutal for some reason.
