I've just learned about that VMP price increase bullshit an hour ago and spent the last hour reading through the last 15 pages of this thread.
There's no way I would pay about 45€ for non- audiophile records. But what really kills VMP for me is the price increase of add-ons to $33. The add-ons have been the real deal, and if they would have kept them to the former price, I even might accept the subscription price increase. But with both imcreases there's no way I would want to continue my membership. I will get Spiritualized next month and then I'm out. I just canceled my add-ons.
There are so many other places to buy vinyl for a good value, also limited editions.
I really enjoyed
@Joe Mac 's comments by the way, especially in regards to
@NathanRicaud. Very true what Joe said.
I'm pretty sure that VMP will loose a very high percentage of their customers due to this. It actually even feels like it's their plan, maybe as a result of the BVSC problem. I also doubt they still exist in a year. I don't feel like wanting to support a business further that constantly pulls such things.
