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

Essentials: We plan to focus Essentials on records that are truly essential to the modern vinyl collection

lol

"While VMP is celebrated for its curation, we heard it can sometimes feel "hit or miss” (not always, but sometimes)."

I assume this means that the "Storf needs this one to fill out his collection" picks were not widely well-received.

Swap preview is also up btw if anyone cares.

Good thing I'm excited for DMX because that was underwhelming

Have I mentioned recently just how much I hate this Matt Fucker?

Sabbath and SOAD sold out pretty quick - those likely would have done well as essentials (though Sabbath already had an essentials - actually Strokes too)

And the stooges

I resubbed to Country for a year in March or something. I wonder if they’ll just let me cut my losses and get the rest of my sub fee back?

Hound them until they do

Yup, you entered an agreement with VMP, they broke the agreement. You should not have to pay, or settle.

It’s interesting that they say when the changes go in effect, and not immediately

They probably already had agreements in place for records up till then is my guess. Also gives them enough time for some people's subs to either lapse in those tracks, or be farther enough along that the payout isn't massive for all the cancellations.

Maybe I missed this discussion earlier, but they can’t accept PayPal anymore? They use the excuse that they’re a “small company”, but I don’t buy it.

What is “modern” to VMP?

Black pumas self titled coming soon. Much needed too. Always amazed me how few variants there were for how popular they are

That is their go-to excuse for everything

It’s in their faq. Integration with the store has been a problem and PayPal increased fees. Will be able to pay for a sub but not a store item.

 

[bdrummond]

Small companies accept paypal. This is stupid.

Has the discord been nuked yet?

Where was this cause I read the email and the update page and did not see it.

I'd understand if it was still their own platform, but it is truly hilarious that a few years on, they're still somehow the only company that can't properly deploy Shopify

They love a scapegoat.
