Getting back into it. Collection is thin from moving and converting to CDs/Digital. The question: Record of the month 'clubs'. Worth while? (lemmy.ml)

Title says it. My system is OK but am looking to upgrade it over time. So these clubs, look interesting, but are they? Or disappointment?

I have had a good experience with Vinyl Me Please so far. I am a relatively new collector (also mainly CD/digital) so I didn’t have many of the records in their collection. It is expensive, but the deal for the extra bonus records depending on how long you sign up makes it worth it to me.

Thanks! I was looking at VMP. There's a few albums there that are interesting, so I'm thinking of the 6 month.

Just bought my first in-person new-in-shrink LP in 30 years (Tubular Bells 50th Anniversary). Now waiting on a replacement cartridge (later this week) to give it a spin. Fun!

Not a subscriber to VMP, but have a couple of their releases—audio quality is always top notch, and the (additional) artwork and/or inserts and booklets do justify the high prices (as much as I hate to admit this..).

That said, I still wouldn’t subscribe, however, as I would dislike someone ‘curating’ my purchases (the snob that I am 🤷‍♂️).
