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

Everything so far has been recent releases/represses from the last year or so, and nothing older like De La Soul or Saba (lol). It really does seem to be "shit we had lying around in the warehouse" as opposed to proper represses of their most-sought-after titles.
 
Allocating restocks for only new subscribers is a very, very strange way to do business.
Actually makes perfect sense. If you want a particular album (for example I joined for "I'll Sleep When You're Dead") you're going to be more likely to join if you can get that album right away, not wait until it restocks. By holding on to them they tempt potential new subscribers to join. It's about getting the foot in the door, and you're not going to do that when the current month's selection isn't to everyone's taste. It may seem unfair to hold on to stock to bring in new subs, but from a business standpoint it's a solid plan. If I couldn't get ISWYD at the time when I wanted to join, then I would've likely held back until the month really spoke to me, if at all.

The ones they actually meant for new subs are pretty strategic. I can see them attracting new members.

Edit tldr: VMP is still a business, and holding back popular releases to attract new subscribers is good business.
