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

Lots of interesting points here and most make total sense (to me anyway). Im ONLY 45mins in but here are my key points:

Keen to revamp the Swaps into something more interesting, especially for long term members who might have seen the same records months at a time.

Rock tracks are hard to secure. Part of transitioning them to Essentials and removing the dedicated Rock Track allows them flexibility and I guess means they can focus on quality of the albums rather than getting one secured each month.

The more tracks, the more strain on the supply train.

Working on additional member benefits for long term members. "VIP" Set of inventory being an option.

Swap track to allow members to pick up records for the track price without being subbed to the track per say. Some members see the swaps as mini sales and this would allow for that to continue.

More electronic albums and "true" exclusives of jazz records will be possible with the tracks dropping to 3.

Labels tend to want to have their albums in the Essentials (higher numbers) but not the sub-track to it (i.e. Elton John in the Rock track).

Some country records might get dropped as a Swap first exclusive. There are some from the Rounder (?) series which might get dropped as per this idea early next year.

The new Zine has a lot of detail thrown in there. They are aiming to match the quality of the A24 booklets and the size will be "substantial on your shelf".

Classics are always going to be AAA on black vinyl.

Elton John has been a VMP member since 2015 (😲)

Supposedly "Classics" was too open of a term to use for the track and VMP found it difficult to explain what should and shouldn't be put in this track. VMP is going to discuss more internally and might update the name from Jazz, Blues, Funk & Soul.

Finally for this part, I cannot get over how difficult it is to listen to Storf on this episode. I'm sure has a nice guy but every sentenced seemed to be a way for him to brag.

Thank you for your sacrifice of listening to this for me.

These all make sense. I think the booklet is just pointless. They keep struggling to make it work but I think it will get tossed aside soon enough.

Fun fact, Elton John owns a horse farm near me. I have seen him having a beer a couple of times at a craft brewery that I go to

This doesn’t effect me but I would be PISSED if it did.

Last of Us Box Set Cancelled. If I had thought I was getting a copy and it’s now sold out everywhere I would feel supremely let down.

Interesting that they would cancel all the orders instead of just fulfilling some. Unless they weren’t able to secure any.
