Magnolia Record Club

[thisunfolds]

Sooooooo......

I cancelled my previous club subscription in favor of this one. They seem to have a pretty cool model as far as payment is concerned and it works well with my budget for the next few years or so.

Anyway, does anyone want to share their experience with this company? Also, this can be used as a hype thread for their future ROTMs.

What does the model for payment look like?

I’ve been a member for around a year or so. Great records that are right up my alley. Their member store is usually got some really nice options in it as well.

I became a member when dualtone’s Vinyl den merged with them about a year ago._

The discovery track is the best part of the club.

They’ve had their own exclusives for a while and do some that aren’t ROTM as well.

The member portal is basically nonexistent. Customer service is great.

Good to know. Maybe I’ll listen to their last few RotMs to get a feel for it!

Monthly, three months or yearly but you have the option to pause if you don’t like what they have/swap for past ROTMs or records of equal value.

I've been thinking of trying this one after my Secretly Society membership lapses, so glad to hear the positive feedback.

Because it is Americana/folk based. It is usually my most consistent club. I wish they would pick maybe even more obscure artist discovery artists sometimes but I'm never disappointed with their selections.

I do wish they'd lean less folk pop, but that's a small complaint given that I do enjoy the vast majority of picks.

One thing I'd love to see from them is more Classic picks. With the exception of Storf getting some through, VMP isnt big on Country and even when they do they are mostly new releases or exclusives or an exclusive of a wider release reissue (The Loretta albums are a notable and welcome exception). Magnolia is also almost exclusively new releases
I love the country/americana/folk genre but alot of older albums havent been pressed in awhile or ever and I wish Magnolia would integrate this more into their sub or do it as a separate add on since it seems like Vinyl Me Pardner is essentially dead.

Joined up for this month. I dig The Head and the Heart, and after listening to, and loving, the Durand Jones & The Indications, I added that on. These forums might be the death of my bank account balance.

Thinking about joining, are there any referrals or discounts?

You can use the word MIRAGE to get 10 off your first 3 month subscription or INDIEFOXX for 20% off your first box.

Idk about referrals but I used a code to get 20% off for the first month.

Code is INDIEFOXX

Didn't they do the newest Needtobreathe acoustic album? Weird, considering they're a Christian band. A rather good one tho

They did, and it’s an excellent LP.

I got a CD of theirs for $2 at Cracker Barrel lol. Definitely gotta listen to more of them. Though for Christian rock music, I lean more towards bands like Skillet, Red and Disciple.

Yeah, I got the feeling from that album that this is not necessarily the case anymore. The album last month, Pep Talks by Jonah and the Lion, was from a former CCM Band too.

Drew Holcomb, the founder of the club and former only curator, is Christian.
