![]() Thankfully, Team VMP got me back in the beats game with last year’s immaculate vinyl reissue of Outkast’s Stankonia. Yes, that list is quite short, and mostly consists of instrumental hip hop albums these days. There are a lot of reasons for that, but mostly I’m just choosy as all hell about which hip hop releases I actually want in my collection. For The Love Of Music, Please DO NOT BEND (or how I learned to stop worrying love VMP’s best hip hop Essentials pick yet)Īlright, some of you are likely aware that I went through a period of swapping pretty much every hip hop Essentials selection VMP threw my way for while. So what choice wax did VMP drop into the March box? Nothing short of a modern hip hop masterwork from the one, the only Kid Cudi. That means you can flip any VMP pick you’re not interested in for a past AOM selection that’s a little more your speed (including picks from the Classics and Rap/Hip Hop tracks). If you’re peckish about relinquishing control of your record collection to complete strangers, know that VMP’s Swaps Program is in full effect. Members are privy to reduced “Members Pricing” as well, so joining the club definitely has its rewards. Word to the wise, while the store is open to the public, most of the more covet-worthy stock is only available to subscribers. ![]() The store is open, and Team VMP are dropping fresh new selections to their stock every single week. You’ll have membership privileges in the VMP store too, which means you can grab a copy of previous VMP selections from the archives – including their slic k February reissue of The Strokes’ sophomore album Room on Fire – not to mention a slate of super-limited releases pressed exclusively for Vinyl Me, Please. Each custom pressing (often on colored vinyl!) also comes with killer extras like original artwork, informative booklets, or even a recipe for a companion cocktail. You send Vinyl Me, Please some of your hard-earned money (a 3-month membership will set you back about $119) and they send you one carefully selected album they feel is Essential to any record collection. Delivering limited edition pressings of new and classic albums directly to your doorstep, Vinyl Me, Please operates under a simple philosophy: The Album Lives! With a carefully curated catalog of new and hard to find releases, the subscription service is more than just a record club, it’s a lifestyle choice for folks who wish Record Store Day could happen every month … in their living room.
