Probably no potential subscribers around here but wanted to share for those interested anyway. Personally I would never subscribe to such a series as I am pretty picky in what I want to buy and what not. 45 dollars a month is a lot for not being sure you're getting something you like.

 

In these cases it's probably more economic to buy one overpriced copy of the LP you'd really like on Discogs than subscribing ending up with stuff youre not interested in.

John Coltrane Quartette?

Do they give you 12 albums for one cent? *

*...if you agree to buy 12 more albums at regular club prices within the next three years?

A vinyl club - we had this decades ago. Was nice to build your first collection. Probably not for older collectors with large amounts of records.

Everything old is new again.

Blue Note is doing the same thing with a Tone Poets club.

I’m not crazy about the idea but I’m probably not the customer they’re aiming at; I only have about a dozen TPs.

Joe Harley told me on FB that they had received requests for a subscription service so go figure.

Somehow in my youth Verve records most of them were japanese reissues, very expensive, but I didn´t buy so many of them since Norman Granz´ tastes where some very very straight ahead jazz, and very little originals of the recording artists.

So it was mostly a mainstream label, very good recordings sound, but sometimes too straight ahead rhythm sections for my taste. 

I was quite astonished to have later a Jackie McLean Birdsongs recording on Verve. Verve at the time when Jackie McLean was most creative and active, would not have recorded him......

I bought quite a few Verve UK reissues with my meagre pocket money in the mid 70s. They were pressed by Polygram I think, in very good sound. Some good doubles by the likes of Diz, Stitt, Getz and JJ plus Oscar P. Also some nice JATP reissues (now superceded by the Mosaic).

So, these releases will be available exclusively through the club and not sold elsewhere?

They’ll end up on Discogs. For exclusive prices probably
