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

Welp, I'm a sucker who just jumped back in (for 6 months) because I wanted Freddie Roach and Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I'm going to "Swap for Credit" the whole subscription and use it towards the Impulse! anthology whenever that comes out (that's still coming out right?)

Since I haven't been a member in 8 months, and have an open add-on slot this month, what would be your top 1 or 2 things I might have missed in that time? (RotMs and/or Exclusives that can still be grabbed)? Check Your Head? Yusef Lateef? Wilson Picket? Moon Safari? Star People? The fancy Yield reissue?

Are you talking about available swaps or freebies?
 
TCell said:
Swaps or to purchase. I grabbed my freebies already.

No one has gotten Yield yet, so I’d pass on that and see how it turns out. I’m sure it’ll be available whenever it starts shipping.

Of what you listed, I like Check Your Head and Yusef.

Of current swaps, I got Eric B and Rakim this month. That’s had great reviews. Also could get some good value from Mariah or Xtina if those are your speed.

Keep telling myself I am gonna do it to take advantage of the 8 fee records but every time I look at the list I have a hard time finding 8 that I want.

Likewise - I’m not up until August, so maybe some more intriguing stuff will get added by then… but not holding my breath. I’ve cut down to one track already, so maybe time to say goodbye. Guess I’ll see what next quarter brings - this one was fairly weak IMO 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
My membership is up at the end of this month and I also opted not to renew after swapping for credit a few months in a row, but will keep an eye on what they are releasing in the future. I don't see anything in the free records list that I would want and haven't already purchased.

I was able to use some of the store credit I've been accumulating to grab Sun Ra today before it sold out again 🪐. I wonder how many copies they had. I checked right at 12pm ET and Fugees was already gone.

Missing half the list but can't wait until reddit starts raging that they didn't have a thousand copies of Fugees on hand and it sells out within half a second.

Prophesy fulfilled (I mean, it's not a full on meltdown but I don't think anyone actually secured a copy, despite logging on exactly at TBT time).

They should really remove their super-low stock albums from the preview lists and tell people to check the store for "surprises" instead of doing this song and dance with high profile titles every time.

Has anyone noticed how much VMP is keeping up with adding records to the renewal deal? (The VMP10 records that are 250+ at this point). As I look at it now, there is literally not a single record that I would want (I've been a member for years and basically have the VMP records that I want). But in theory over the next few months there might be things that I would want...so just curious if they keep this relatively current (i.e. as soon as something hits swaps, does it also go into the VMP10 deal?), or is it all old Tennis and Torres records?

Also, how long do I have to use the deal? Is it a year before it expires?

Thanks!
 
I don't know how often they're adding new titles to the deal, but to answer your second question, VMP will reach out to you with the deal offer about a month or so before your subscription ends. However, if you want to renew your sub and take the deal sooner than that, I think you just need to hit up customer service and they'll get you set up. As far as I know, the deal lasts until the end of this year so I guess if you let your sub lapse now but resubscribe before the end of December, you'll still qualify for the deal.

So for example my sub is up in August so I wouldn't expect to hear from VMP offering me the deal until probably around early July, unless I reach out to them first. And if I decide to not renew in August but jump back in with a multi-month sub in December, I'll still qualify for the deal.
