Vinyl Subscription Services

A Vinyl Record Club Offers Monthly Music Paired with Cocktail Recipes

— May 2, 2014 — Lifestyle
Sometimes the best way to enjoy music is with a drink in hand, which is where this vinyl record club comes in. Vinyl Me, Please is a music subscription service that recommends cocktail recipes paired with vinyl records. Vinyl record club members also receive access to a weekly music digest called the Standard, which recommends artists not found in the record category, as well as an album-inspired print.

Capitalizing on the resurgence of records, this service creates a community allowing fans to add to their collection and find new music with carefully curated monthly picks. The chosen titles are considered 'essential' by the startup company. Past picks included Diarrhea Planet, Courtney Barnett, Express Rising and SBTKRT.
