I just don't think it's a very successful model for a Club. If they want to do it well this kind of curation is very time-intensive so you need lots of man-power or at some point an ai to do that. If you than choose individual albums you have low margins on every Album and no fancy exclusives but end up with albums that you could get cheaper elsewhere. And that's assuming they hit you with the right albums at a high percentage.
But at least in my personal experience I listen to lot of albums recommended here, in music journals etc with "for fans of" tags and very often albums that should be completely in my wheelhouse are not the ones i like. But curation most often works for me when I follow recommendations from people whose taste I trust for instance here or in magazines or vmp when it's from a genre, artist etc. That is underrepresented in my discogs, where I don't know much about. The greatest vmp discoveries I got were jazz, soul, blues, Latin, African albums because I simply did not know too much of the genres
