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

The cost for the distributor would be passed along to euro customers so not sure how it would increase subscribers. I doubt they would cut the price of membership for euro international customers after investing a bunch of money (that they don't have) into opening a euro distributor/warehouse. Compared to zero subscribers soon, yes I suppose it would increase their number of subscribers haha. It would also make shipping damaged records cheaper for sure.

Doing the wholesale HHV thing is a much cheaper way to do what you are saying. It'll be interesting to see how much HHV puts up with the warped returns though hah

It’d depend on the subscriber numbers and just how far it reduced the shipping cost. Almost $25 a piece for bulk shipping that will likely be charged per pallet to Europe is nuts, it’s not far off what I pay for sending a single piece transatlantic through the postal service as a one off customer.

For those of you who care about such things, can confirm that the membership stuff is updated and you can change to Classics now.

Thanks! With the cancellation of two tracks AND Gus Cannon not receiving a strong consensus, I prefer to secure a spot in Classics.

Me too! Maybe there’ll be something I want to swap for but if not I want to be sure I might like the record they send me.

I’ve done the same I’d say 60/40 chance classics runs out next month.

Yup! HH track doesn't seem something people will fight for.

What's going on in Classics that it may run out? Sorry, been out of the loop as a non-member for awhile now.

Country and Rock are gone. Essentials is a rare Stax JUG BAND record and Hip Hop is something I’ve never heard of and don’t see a lot of excitement about it. With swaps last month being a nightmare. I assume people are going to start switching their primary track more often.

Just seems like last month’s “perfect storm” for Ramones makes it more likely that this month will be a clusterfuck based on consolidation and lackluster curation.

It all may be nothing, but it seems like VMP is really good at fucking up.

A very good jazz album. RHH is an album that is not very well known and Essentials is a pick that makes absolutely no sense for the track - neither are likely to be strong sellers.

 

[MikeH]

I could see hip hop doing well. It’s a cool album. People gonna be looking for stuff to swap out of gus cannon for

 

[bdrummond]

So what are the full picks?
