Yeah mine is ending on January 1st as well. And I am not re-subscribing so I am trying to get as much out of this as I can while I can. They haven't had anything that interested in me in forever so I am not mad about it.

Yep. At that renewal rate and my membership up for renewal, I am out. Wouldn't mind the CCR, but not worth it for $55

Mine lapses this month. Gotta decide if I wanna use credit to hop in next month and use a referral + coupon code…

Not entirely sure. The code expires in December and only works on in stock (and doesn’t work on box sets I don’t think)…not sure how many new releases that will be in stock for nonmembers will happen between now and when coupon expires

I wonder what I'd even get, only store item I wanted was Allen Toussaint but that seems to be sold out and is not in stock. Soooooooo, guess I gotta do some browsing

Shabaka (which I may have actually spent that amount of money on.)

None. Even the good ones aren't worth that.

I’m in through Feb 1. There’s nothing I wanna swap for. I’m getting CCR.

True. Forgot that one. It’s really good.
The problem is at the $55-60 price point, it’s almost gotta be a 2LP set to make me not feel silly about buying it. Or be something that’s very expensive or hard to find other quality pressings of. Like I’m not gonna spend nearly $60 on tender buttons when I can get a good sounding press for $20

My time with VMP is officially ending with
• Aerial Ballet
• Blu & Exile
• CCR
Imo its a nice final haul, I wish my membership ended in December so I could've grabbed Psychic Chasms and Jimmy Scott at better prices but what can you do. Will probably just save my Impulse discount code and grab those!

Sadly don’t think you will be able to get those with the impulse code. They won’t go on sale to non-members for 3 months I don’t think. And code expires end of december

Welp, there are better vocal jazz albums out there that are more affordable I can always grab. I'm sure Psychic Chasms and Jimmy Scott will be $30 or less on Cogs in the next year.

I thought about a three month membership, but the only thing the next two months I wanted was CCR and I have just about everything I would want that is in swaps. Axing the rock track really hurts because that at least was putting out things I could talk myself into every few months or so.

My sub is up at year end. I have $115 in store credit, which is exactly the price of the Fela box and there isn't really anything else I'd want. I fee like it's a no-brainer but curious what others think about that Fela release

I used to have the CD. It's a great comp. I would highly recommend, particularly if you have little other Fela.

I swapped for credit as none of the options really did it for me and I bet there’s at least 1 40% off sale coming in the next 30 days. My membership ends at the end of February and it’s going to take a Supreme Cliente- like album to get me to pay $55.

also part of the January 1 club and just sticking with CCR because even the swap bundles were unappealing this month

Ya—probably will be possible to grab on cogs or eBay later. Just telling ya so you don’t lose the coupon use!
