#VINYL ME PLEASE FULL#

And you heard it because, well, Vinyl Me, Please quite literally delivered a dream of a box for me this week … one packed with killer albums from two artists who transformed the way I listened to music. The audible gasp you just heard was, in fact, me. For the Love of Music, Please DO NOT BEND (or, how I learned that it’s actually possible to make a perfect album even better) Yep, had to go ahead and add on the Classics track for April, ’cause nothing says “F you” to quarantine like a box containing albums from Otis Redding and The Stooges. What’s on tap for April? Nothing short of a FIRST EVER PRESSING of the fabled John Cale Mix of The Stoogies self-titled debut … which is a bit of a holy f**k sort of release if I don’t say so myself. That means you can flip any VMP pick you don’t like for a past AOM (or other VMP Exclusive pressings) that’s a little more your speed.

If you’re peckish about relinquishing control of your record collection to complete strangers, know that VMP’s Swaps Program is in full effect. Word to the wise, while the store is open to the public, most of its more covet-worthy stock is only available to members, so membership definitely has its rewards. 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 February’s immaculate Classics re-issue of Aretha Franklin’s Aretha Now – not to mention a bevy of rare releases pressed exclusively for the folks at Vinyl Me, Please. And each custom pressing (often on colored wax!) also comes with killer special features like original artwork, informative booklets, or even a recipe for a companion cocktail. Yes, it’s every bit as easy as it sounds. You send Vinyl Me, Please some of your hard-earned money (plans start at $25/month) and they send you one carefully selected album they feel is an Essential addition to any record collection.

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. Delivering limited edition pressings of new and classic albums directly to your doorstep, Vinyl Me, Please operates under a simple philosophy: The Album Lives.
