Vinyl Me, Please is again. Final month the beleaguered LP subscription service broke months of silence and unfulfilled orders with a message from their new CEO Nick Alt, who provided a imprecise rationalization for what had been occurring in addition to some eyebrow-raising information: They’d be again in enterprise in September.
Now, it’s September, and it seems that VMP is kicking issues off once more with a brand new month-to-month file choose, and that they’re providing credit to these clients whose orders by no means arrived. Somebody within the VMP subreddit shared an e-mail they’d acquired from the corporate, which reads partly:
Beginning together with your October field, The Finest Rattling Document is an unique 180g “Piss Yellow” urgent of Switcheroo by Gelli Haha. We had the legendary Scott Hull grasp and lower it at Masterdisk. The VMP unique version additionally contains two bonus remixes, a gate-fold jacket designed by Gelli, and a few high secret extras. We predict you’ll find it irresistible. But when it’s not your vibe, new VMP nonetheless lets you SWAP.
Improved Pricing:
We rolled again costs to pre-pandemic ranges. As a member, at the moment are grandfathered in beginning at $39 /month.Membership Credit:
In the event you paid for subscription months you by no means acquired, you now have membership credit. Every credit score equals one free album per 30 days, which you’ll be able to ADD to your field by choosing from the catalog utilizing the six-digit album codes. Retailer credit are a separate can of worms — we’re nonetheless working by these and can share an replace subsequent month.Might Fees:
As we talked about within the June AMA, we had been made conscious that some members had been charged in Might whereas the chapter course of unfolded, however lengthy beforewe took over the enterprise. Regardless, we added a membership credit score to your account for a free extra album. We don’t know the place your cash went, however as the brand new homeowners, you deserve a free file credit score for Might.
VMP can be going offline. Their web site is extremely minimal, and that e-mail to subscribers additionally says this: “Your field will now embody a catalog every month highlighting the upcoming file of the month,” which I can think about may make the record-swapping and monitoring orders tough. (These needed to cancel their subscriptions, in the meantime, have been instructed to textual content “Fuck Off” to the corporate’s telephone quantity.)
The excellent news is that some clients are starting to obtain some orders, though they won’t essentially be getting the right orders. See some Reddit posts under.
