Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I just got an email from Discogs alerting me to an upcoming release based upon an artist in my collection. The problem is that the upcoming release is from our friends at VMP and is the same album I have in my Discogs collection. I guess they're still working out the cobranding kinks?

Hello There,

Thanks for being a part of the Discogs Community and welcome to our new Artist Alert notification. Artist Alerts help you discover upcoming releases based on your Collection/Wantlist.

Since you have Experience Unlimited in your Collection/Wantlist, we'd like to alert you to the 'Free Yourself' reissue cut from analog tapes direct to lacquer by Bernie Grundman available from our friends at Vinyl Me, Please. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/ExperienceUnlimitedArtistAlert

We’ll continue to listen to your feedback and make this the best place to manage your Collection. But if you do not want to continue to receive Artist Alerts, you can opt out by using the “Block Sender” feature.

I got this too and thought it a bit weird.
 
RE the Discogs thing. I got it too but it didn't feel like they were purposefully suggesting a VMP album, although that's what they did for me as well. The message just read that they were starting a new service where they notify you of new releases that you may be interested in based on your collection. In my case it suggested the new Oneness of Juju reissues because I own an original African Rhythms.

But since everyone else is getting VMP suggestions as well.... That said, we probably all have a ton of VMP in our collection, so it's not surprising a program might notify us of new VMP releases related to other things we like.

Yeah that’s how I took it too. Kind of a weird service for Discogs to do.

Gotcha. You are less cynical than I am! I respect that.

That's exactly what it is. I received a survey from Discogs on Monday, since I'd received an Artist Notice (actually non-VMP) in the last couple weeks & they wanted to know if I liked it.

Well, yes...but...would we even get hints from anyone? Or we just shout out random, unconnected guesses?

Dr. Dre - The Chronic!
Supertramp - Breakfast in America!
Them Crooked Vultures - S/T!
Patti Smith - Easter!

Supposedly Storf will be giving clues on Reddit. Plus we have done these threads without guesses too so I don’t think it’s a huge deal.
