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

You are in for a treat. That box, in terms of sound quality, is probably the single biggest surprise of any record I've ever bought. It is, so far above the rest of their releases in terms of sound
quality that I have no idea how it ever came to be. Also it's cut HAWT so you only need a little volume and your speakers will shake.

It better make me feel 30 pounds lighter and 15 years younger or I am hitting the 401 with my blowtorch to burn me some weeds.

Got VMP x Creem email. Anyone pickup that Runaways reissue? How does it sound. Since it is a BoomBoom pressing it might have some nice punch to it.

Yes the Runaways has a strange whooshing noise between the tracks. It is a pressing issue as it is silent during the tracks. It is quite distracting.

Also HBMS's White People. I love most of the songs on it, but the skits just go on for way too long. I don't think I could stomach spinning it regularly on the turntable, which is a shame because I love So How's Your Girl so much.

I've been thinking and I will probably swap for HBMS actually. Willie Nelson seems to be the "most valuable" swap this month.
 
I've been a member since 2016, and I think I'm finally done. I have two months left on my sub, and I was thinking about just swapping for credit the rest of the way, and then re-joining on the 6+3 deal to grab Sly, Willie Live, and ???, but I don't think there is any guarantee those will be included in the free choices, right? And to me the only way VMP makes economical sense is if you do a 12 month sub ($36/month) but then I would have to choose 8 free records and there is no way I can find 8 records that I want from them. I keep thinking, well, with 5 tracks now there will always be at least one record I want, but then in reality I end up swapping for credit a lot because IMO the curation has gone downhill. I used to grab every Classics and now I feel like it's just a bunch of jazz titles that I don't need. Plus I'm running out of shelf space and I want to be more selective in my purchases.

Sorry for the one-man therapy session, curious to hear how others are justifying the continued cost of this membership, or if they're not.

Totally understandable. I took 8 months off for similar reasons (money, shelf space, Will I spin this RotM twice and then have it collect dust?). I didn't feel like I missed anything super needed. I just rejoined with SRV on a six month, but knowing that I was going to Swap for Credit every month and use the credit on the Impulse! Anthology, and just grab a few add on titles that I really wanted. (This month that's Strokes and Sly, and maybe McCoy Tyner, but again do I really need Trident? I have a couple of his other albums.)

I enjoy the VMP's curation, but there are a lot of records out there, and more coming every week, and I'm sure you also have lots on your shelves already to re-enjoy. I think the take a break and catch up on what you really want strategy is a good one.
