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

Code worked for me too. Just bought Frances Quinlan’s Likewise this morning after listening to it on NPR. I recommend everyone buy this record.

Frances Quinlan Follows Her First Spark Of Creation

While members of Hop Along appear on her solo debut, Likewise is decidedly Frances Quinlan's vision. Her voice and unique, meandering melodies sit at the forefront of an inquisitive record.

Ooh, I didn't know it was streaming. On it. Thanks!

I've bad it for like 2 months now. It's great

So...I got another discount code emailed to me, this one for 25% off. It says one time use, but it may work like the other code.. one time use per person. I already used it to grab the Townes Van Zandt exclusives for $20.25 each, but if anyone else wants to try, here you go... VMQW87AJDKJ7

Looks like the code works and Fiona is back in stock so I'm grabbing that and one of those last living legends for 60 bucks total, Now I don't have to swap out that Aretha. I have a copy already but something tells me I'll regret missing out on this version.

I was mid conversation with Pauly over a customs charge for which he offered credit but haven’t heard since the 7th January. Told them not to bother, I’m tired waiting.

Is this a new thing since last month to put the Essential album of the month up for sale on it's own to non-members, so it can sell out, while people are still having issues logging in on drop day?

Is this another reason they cut the one month subscriptions?

Phrenology

'Phrenology,' the fifth album by the legendary Philly rap group the Roots, is here on marbled brown vinyl.

since the new system has been put out they have appear “sold out” in the store every month. My theory is that they can’t fulfil them without a store listing but they have to show it as “sold out” until the AoTM month is up to stop people just buying it rather than needing a sub.

how do people get them to reply these days ?

I'd like to know, I was suppose to get my account extended 2 months becuase of all the issues I've faced since November. They ended up only extended it one month, and now radio silence since I emailed almost 3 weeks ago to see if I'd be getting February's ROTM.. Which is a bummer because I'd like to grab Pherenology. I had to reach out on Reddit, but still nothing. And to make things better, zero progress on my ROTM from January, disappeared from Orders completely.

If EL-P and Roots have a store listing, it isn't in the main store section. The Essentials are.

They are listed under their categories and under All. EL-P is under Rap and Hip Hop, Aretha Now under Classics.

I think it's just a function of their store platform. They can't figure out how to have it listed as ROTM but keep it out of the store listings. Seems like a CMS thing.

Such advanced tech they're working with over there...thank god they migrated!

What was the August Essential Voldemort pick? And why isn't it on their site?

 

[Heath]

And why isn't it on their site?

Because it's top-secret (and it's Mitski)

Edit: durrr, my email was from August 2018 lol

Sleater-Kinney. It's on the site, just weirdly not with the other Essentials.

The Center Won't Hold

Sleater-Kinney's 9th LP, 'The Center Won't Hold' is the Vinyl Me, Please Essentials for August 2019. We have it on exclusive red vinyl.

When I scrolled through VMP Exclusives last night, The Roots was the only one that popped up. Meanwhile, the new this week titles don't pop up in there. The whole site is screwy

OMG. Now THAT is funny as shit. My favoritest band and I completely forgot that it was a Voldemort pick. And a controversial one at that.

Thank you, md!

Gotcha. That's weird. It's supposed to be just all the VMP exclusives and not anything that's AOTM specific. At least that's how I read it to should've been. And it's all screwy because there's both Classics and Rap and Hip Hop AOTMs in there.

I think there was a major shift once the store stopped carrying curated titles. Nothing means anything anymore

Curation slacking you say? Missing the guess threads? Here's a fun little anecdote or whatever you might call it. A side by side comparison of the genres from N&G AOTMs v. VMP's Essentials (starting in June).

Jazz v. Indie/Alt
Rock v. Samba Soul
Metal v. Rock
Singer/Songwriter v. Folk
Flamenco v. Indie/Alt
Rock v. Rock
Irish v. Soul
Pop v. Indie/Alt
Alt R&B v. Rap

Look at that diversity in our N&G picks! While VMP went back to that Indie/Alt well more than once.

And this coming month, the genre is a completely new to N&G genre!

Intrigued? We'd love you to join us! We have guess threads with clues. And the person that correctly guesses the album first will receive that album free of charge!

Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 9 - March 2020 /// X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents

Hiya! I am so excited and grateful to present Vol 9 of the N&G Forum AOTM. I hope my choice will be a welcome addition to what has come before and the awesomeness that will continue after mine. It's going to be a tough act to follow after @ChristoBee's selection but I think this record can...
