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 document choose, and that they’re providing credit to these clients whose orders by no means arrived. Somebody within the VMP subreddit shared an electronic mail they’d obtained from the corporate, which reads partially:
Beginning along with your October field, The Greatest Rattling Report is an unique 180g “Piss Yellow” urgent of Switcheroo by Gelli Haha. We had the legendary Scott Hull grasp and minimize it at Masterdisk. The VMP unique version additionally consists of two bonus remixes, a gate-fold jacket designed by Gelli, and a few high secret extras. We predict you’ll like it. But when it’s not your vibe, new VMP nonetheless permits you to SWAP.
Improved Pricing:
We rolled again costs to pre-pandemic ranges. As a member, are actually grandfathered in beginning at $39 /month.Membership Credit:
For those who paid for subscription months you by no means obtained, you now have membership credit. Every credit score equals one free album per thirty days, which you’ll be able to ADD to your field by deciding on from the catalog utilizing the six-digit album codes. Retailer credit are a separate can of worms — we’re nonetheless working via these and can share an replace subsequent month.Could Fees:
As we talked about within the June AMA, we have been made conscious that some members have been charged in Could 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 further album. We don’t know the place your cash went, however as the brand new homeowners, you deserve a free document credit score for Could.
VMP can also be going offline. Their web site is extremely minimal, and that electronic mail to subscribers additionally says this: “Your field will now embody a catalog every month highlighting the upcoming document of the month,” which I can think about may make the record-swapping and monitoring orders troublesome. (These needed to cancel their subscriptions, in the meantime, have been instructed to textual content “Fuck Off” to the corporate’s cellphone quantity.)
The excellent news is that some clients are starting to obtain some orders, though they won’t essentially be getting the appropriate orders. See some Reddit posts under.
