My membership ended in September, and I haven't looked back. After the price hikes I wasn't buying any exclusives, and that was part of what attracted me to VMP.
I was only in on the Essentials track, and seeing the latest announcement (Sigur, Grimes, Modest Mouse) - I guess my timing was good to leave - bc while I agree all those are essentials, I have all those records already and I don't need a colored variants on them.
I was thinking the same thing when I received my last pre-order last week. But then I remembered they still owe me a repress of one of the Outkast records.
January marks the end of my grandfathered rate and I am also out...although if they ever release De La Soul - Stakes is High I will try to get some of that action.
@TheThinWhiteDuke -- waiting for them to change the slogan to: "Records you can explore, listen to and maybe love." That was a brilliant piece of copy from Mister Storf
