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

Completely agree with this, there's no logic to a rise.

Its annoying as I factored the store items into my decision to renew, but if they are all now going to be 45usd then im not going to be getting any store releases going forward.
These Jazz Dispensary exclusives are an exception with the price tag. You had a Kool and The Gang Exclusive that dropped which was under USD$30!

USD$16 difference between the Kool and The Gang and Jazz Dispensary exclusives.

Store releases in general definitely won’t be around USD$45 at a member price!
 
Seriously.... like... seriously... c'mon... I've currently got three Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf pressings, which is essentially their version of AP or Mofi. They were all mastered by Gray at Cohearant and pressed at QRP and they each cost me about $32 CAD new. That's about $23 USD each. These VMP ones aren't even pressed at QRP, and they want double the price for them? Guys please do not buy these... Don't reward this kind of pricing... It's highway robbery.
Do you think QRP is more expensive? Seems like they are used by similarly priced labels. Even if I have had more warps from RTI.

I don't know in terms of what they charge labels for pressings, but they are undoubtedly in my books the best pressing plant around that does wide release stuff. I've had next to zero issues ever with anything QRP pressed. RTI is definitely a step down in my books.
 
Said it before and I'll say it again. For international guilables (such as @Selaws and myself) the Herbie box is actually a good box at a good price. This lot, however, would still be an insane price if I was having them delivered to a country shack somewhere on Mars

Obviously RTI is a better pressing plant than GZ, and I wished they pressed the Herbie box there, but to compare...

Herbie Box (which includes 2 of the best jazz albums of all time)...8 Records for $289 (after member discount).

Jazz Dispensary Bundle (none of which are essential)...5 Records for $230 (after member discount).

No wonder they are recommending you get high to listen to those jazz dispensary albums: Jazz Joints: Pairing Cannabis Strains with VMP x Jazz Dispensary Records

"Pairs well with oregano because you don't have any money left."
