Just saw this drop on /r/vinylreleases.

The South Side Movement S/T LP

This 1973 gem is another one of those obscure ‘70s soul-funk albums released on a small independent label that has gone on to become a crate-digging favorite and a huge inspiration to modern-day hip hop artists and beyond. Chicago-based The South Side Movement began as the backing band for the...

C'mon VMP, this isn't even close.

ONLY a $12 difference when shipping is included.

And air mail to Canada works out to the same price IF you are a member (shipping from the States is always gross). Non member pricing + shipping and woof.

It's likely the same pressing too, so VMP again just picking absurd numbers out of a hat.

FYI that storf has said there's going to be either a drop or restock of Shakira on Wednesday, for anyone into that

Looks like it's her first album

Bonus, if you get bored of it it’s easily tradable for a Casio watch…

Would be great to be able to swap for a Casio or even a Twingo.

Just don't remind yourself two years ago this would have been $23 at most.

I still remember the days when everything in the store was $17, unless stated otherwise.

Also, this whole "get 8 extra records for the year sub" looks good. Is it worth going back again?

Probably if you have not been a member for a while it would be a good way to catch up on some previous ROTM. But because you have to pick all 8 right now, you are at the mercy of what VMP puts in the “bargain bin”.

My feeling is if you have to spend money to save money, then that is not really a deal. Unless you were already close to signing up for a year already.

I'd probably wait to see what are the AotM for the 3 next months. If you are in for at least one track per month AND haven't been a member for a while, I'd say it's worth it. I am considering subscribing back depending on what are the next 3 aotm.

EDIT : FYI here are some of main guesses for the next three months (shared by @yukbon)

Spoiler: AotMs

I stopped with Aretha on December 2019. I already almost got in with Air - Moon Safari. But I guess I could wait and see the line-up for the next few months and see if it's really worth it. Thanks for the advice!

Given the amount of amazing records from 1993, I will honestly be surprised if they don't hop on that 30th anniversary train in the coming months.

I was on the fence but when I saw that the “free” 8 records were ones I’ve had my eye on, I YOLO’d it.

That's a pretty good haul! I think I'm getting one free record tomorrow for a 3 month subscription in January and I'll probably sign up for another 6 months in April for another 3 records.

Did they send you a code?

I think it breaks down to like $21+ per album for 20 albums witch TBH feels like what VMP members should be listed at.
