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

Anyone else feels the quality of VMPs exclusive output decreased quite a bit lately? There was a time 2-4 years ago where I had to make sure not to buy too many exclusives, but I haven’t bought one so far in 2021 and can’t even recall my last purchase. It seems they have a lot more reissues than earlier where the exclusives usually centred around new exciting artists. I feel the Dinked Editions for instance have done a much better job lately in showcasing great new albums than VMP.

One the one hand it’s a shame because they used to be so good at this and introduced me to lots of cool artists, on the other hand I wanted to avoid buying from them anyway and this definitely makes it easier than expected.

I think there are too many exclusives now, hard to get excited. Whereas you would have taken a jump at the hype when they only had a few each month

Dinked is great. But agree on VMP. I think maybe the Chets (as a you kay subscriber) and I kinda wish I'd picked up the JLHs. Not sure how much play them... But that's hardly the point. Other than that it's slim pickings
