That’s my understanding as well. Still not the box I would have put together and there isn’t much of a story to tell during that period that isn’t already pretty much known/covered in the actual fucking records. It just seems lackluster/uninspired. Fuck it, it’s just lazy.
i personally think the anthologies (and most of VMP) have a major branding issue...calling something "The Story Of" and then telling some of the least interesting parts of the artist or label's story only invites criticism of album choices. it's happened quite a few times now.
Also, I would say like only one of the albums in that box is hard to find.
Last time I rejoined, I didn’t want or already had the freebies. I just looked for a few that sell consistently on Discogs and also have good reviews, and I put them up for sale at the lowest price for each one. All to offset the cost of membership.
This is exactly it. They simply divide what you paid (including taxes) last time you renewed by the number of months you subscribed for and give you that amount when you swap for credit. I think I get just over $46 in credit when I swap my 3-month. I usually swap my main and just pay for an add-on if there's something I really want. Or, if it's a single LP that I want and it is available for purchase in the store, I'll just swap for the $46 credit and pay $37 for the single LP when the credit shows up in my account at the beginning of the month.
I thing I read here before that a lot of ghe intl members swap for credit because they get their higher monthly rate s credit and then use additional tracks which are priced the same for us and intl to get the aotms they want
That is what I was thinking, after I swapped for Sly. On a 6mon international sub I would get $49 in swap credit. If the ROTM I want is available to buy (1lp $37/2lp $43) in the store, I would be better off to swap for credit and then buy with credit.
That is the flip side of it. Beyond 3 of the first 6 Rock ROTM, there is very little in the store I still need after my 3 freebies. Probably grab Townes and Kris Kristofferson in my other off months
Yes. I mentioned to Storf on Discord saying how Southeastern should be a ROTM, he said not ROTM but store exclusive sure. So it’s a forgone conclusion they’ll get a deluxe of it.
