Magnolia Record Club

Anyone receive a shipping notice yet? If I had known I wouldn’t get The Lumineers by release date, I would’ve paused or swapped for something else.

I have not, but I have an Old Hickory package in my informed delivery. FWIW, they mentioned the records would shop later this month.

First thing that has interested me from Magnolia in quite a while.
 
Feels like a fitting end to my Magnolia time for now. I canceled in December, got my money back. Doorbell rings today with a package from Magnolia with a copy of Brightside in it and a piece of mail for someone a state away from me, mailed from several states away from Magnolia, inside of a sealed mailer. USPS and Magnolia paired up on that.
 
Lol at Zachery Williams being the discovery pick. Also, it seems laughable that they thought they should tell people about The Dip and Lucius but not Zachery Williams.

Whoever runs that club now sucks. If a Dualtone artist is going to be the ROTM or Discovery pick, they should let people know ahead of time. They are actually probably losing business because of this to be honest.
 
Am I wrong in thinking that they have really taken a hit in the star power of the artists they are procuring RoTM for? Just looking back a few years you had Maggie Rogers, Better Oblivion Community Center, The Head and the Heart, The Lumineers, and Wilco in 2019. They had Nathaniel Rateliff, Jason Isbell, Mt. Joy, Phoebe Bridgers, My Morning Jacket, and Dolly Partson in 2020. I feel like it took them until November (War on Drugs) to get an actual exclusive at the level of those other artists in 2021 in November (I'm not counting Indie Brandi sorry), and the first three months of 2022 are...fine.

Nevermind the weird delayed announcement on Dualtone artists and other ones.

I mean I'm out so it's some unnecessary piling on but they're just so poorly run at this point.
 
First time posting here and was wondering if there's a general consensus on MRC. I read over and saw some negativity toward the recent ROTM selections, but was wondering a little about customer service and store purchase experience.

I'm a VMP subscriber and just noticed Magnolia has some artists that I'm looking for. Are there any real perks to joining, or if I see an album I'm interested in, should I just grab it? I haven't seen anything that says free shipping for members or any real discounts, which VMP has. What's their process for records that come damaged or with sound issues? Is shipping fulfilled quickly?

Thanks in advance for any help.
