Another start up UK vinyl subscription club has caught my attention.
vinylwings.co.uk
This one has an option of picking 2 albums from the 3 listed, currently they only have a Jazz & Soul subscription plan but they are looking to expand to Classical and Rock & Blues in coming months. 3 different price tiers (for 1, 3 or 6 months), I haven’t any detail on pressings but they told me they would get back to me on that. This month’s selections were Coleman Hawkins & Ben Webster, Booker T & The MGs Soul Limbo and Red Garland Soul Junction, if you signed up now you would be getting next month’s but I’m sure you could discuss with them as they seemed very personal.
Of particular interest is that the first month is half price, so you would be getting the 2 albums for £22 I think so you would be able to see if you were happy with the service.
I asked a few questions regarding shipping
- We currently only have UK shipping as an option, but hoping to open this up for international orders as well (maybe in the next 4-6 months, but maybe a bit longer as well). As a newly started club we're starting with our "home territory" and will look to expand as and when appropriate
Selections
- This month indeed the selections were Coleman H / Booker T / Red Garland for the Soul / Jazz genre. This month's records are announced on the 1st of each month and members have until the 7th to pick their favourite 2 out of 3. They then receive their 2 selected records towards the end of the month
Potential Swaps
That way, we also try to minimise customers receiving records they may already have - i.e. they can choose. We haven't yet introduced an option to swap for last month's records, but subject to availability and stock I don't see why that would be a big problem. As a new business, our main target is the satisfaction of our customers and a good experience, so we'll try our best.
Swapping between the picks
-Once the other genres are up and running, we'll allow customers to swap between them month to month, within a certain timeline (i.e. you have until the 7th of each month to make your selections, etc.). We expect the other genres to be up and running within the next 2-6 months. Rock & Blues will likely be the next one to become available
Cancelling
- Cancellation is quite straightforward - If you buy a monthly membership, you can cancel at any point between the months. If you buy a 6 month membership however, you're committed for the 6months and your cancellation would only be in effect after the 6 months are up.
Might be of interest to a few of you.
