Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[MikeH]

Only thing with the quiz show to buy is that my definition of old stock is very different from theirs at this point. I'm there wanting Moses rising or Lost in the Dream and they've got Lukas Nelson. But fun for newer subscribers.

I don’t think there is gonna be much stuff that’s 8+ years old left at this point.

I’ll be interested in how they sell test pressings if they end up doing that…because they are gonna only have 3 or less of each title and a TBT would be a bloodbath

I've been slammed between work and school lately so I haven't been paying any attention to what's been going on in the discord so I'm a little bummed I totally missed this. But... this sounds like a pretty neat idea and a fun way to sell any super duper low-quantity TBT records. I hope they keep doing it (and someone pings me to give me a heads-up so I don't miss it again).

I believe they said they were gonna try to do it 4 or 5 more times. Will try to tag ya when they announce the next one!

@Tyr was even there.

Indeed I was!

I will always show up to support my people. And Tyler is my peeps

What is everybody swapping for? Got a Country and a Dolly Bundle in there but I already have all of those.

I somehow swapped my classics for Tool.

I can't even see what are the swap options.

 

[Twentytwo]

I swapped for the Dolly and Billy Joe Shaver so I could get bang for my buck.

I tried, but missed it. I already have it but figured it was better trade bait than anything else. Lots of crap and records you can get for much less than the price of a sub. Shit month.

Pretty happy with my Swaptions this month. Hopefully CCR doesn't sell out, might add a 3rd track for it since my membership lapses on the 1st.

Bummed to be missing out on Jimmy Scott and Psychic Chasms next month but neither of those feel worth $60 on a month-to-month, they only feel worth it on the Yearly track but I am NOT giving VMP $600 up front, not after this year's curation and drama.

Almost did that, but already have them and wasn't sure I'd break even with those at my local. Ended up going with Sigur Ros. I have it on black wax but my copy is a little noisy at parts, so figured maybe it would be an upgrade. I'd have done credit if my sub wasn't expiring Jan 1.

Real question lol:

Over the last year, what VMP record would you have spent $55+ tax on?

Probably only Black Moses, Abdul-Malik and Sabbath. And only after I heard reviews of them

not gonna pay $55 but will eventually grab that Abdul-Malik

It’s really really good.

Yeah mine is ending on January 1st as well. And I am not re-subscribing so I am trying to get as much out of this as I can while I can. They haven't had anything that interested in me in forever so I am not mad about it.

Yep. At that renewal rate and my membership up for renewal, I am out. Wouldn't mind the CCR, but not worth it for $55

Mine lapses this month. Gotta decide if I wanna use credit to hop in next month and use a referral + coupon code…

 

[Ghost]

Do you think I have to use my IMPULSE40 code before my membership ends?

 

[MikeH]

Not entirely sure. The code expires in December and only works on in stock (and doesn’t work on box sets I don’t think)…not sure how many new releases that will be in stock for nonmembers will happen between now and when coupon expires

I wonder what I'd even get, only store item I wanted was Allen Toussaint but that seems to be sold out and is not in stock. Soooooooo, guess I gotta do some browsing
