Vinyl subscription services have become one of the trendier ways to engage musicians with new tunes, build a collection, and get that feel for vinyl. These services mainly involve the shipment of curated records to clients’ doorsteps, allowing for a variety of rare pressings, limited editions, and other unique finds you probably would never stumble upon. Here’s a breakdown of some of the best vinyl subscription services available to music enthusiasts today.

Experience Vinyl

Founded in 2016, Experience Vinyl views itself not only as one of the first e-commerce vinyl retailers but also among the finest independent vinyl retailers in the United States—one uniquely known for having a great selection and customer service. With an inventory of over 40,000 titles, genres range from classic rock to jazz, punk, indie, and blues. Probably the most popular feature of Experience Vinyl is the monthly limited edition album pressings. These are limited-edition exclusive releases, each and every one of them picked for its potential to make waves in the music world. While subscribers get early access to these releases, they are under no obligation to buy the record of the month, like a few other subscription services. Customers have unparalleled choice in terms of purchases. Other than this, there is also Experience Vinyl’s sterling selection of signed LPs and truly impressively designed collector’s items. Co-owned by Matt Sorum of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, this New York -based service assures repeatability and pleasure in shopping to all collectors, whether they be veterans or first-timers.

Vinyl Me, Please

Vinyl Me, Please is often described as the “best damn record club.” Every month now sees the service offering up three different records: Essentials (classic must-haves), Classics (legendary jazz, blues, and soul), and Rap & Hip-Hop. Now each subscriber can change any title to one in a preferred genre or swap it with something that simply caught their eye. Special treats like colored vinyl paired with art and cocktail recipes allow subscribers to get in the zone before listening to the newest additions to their collections. Detailed touches and embellishments make Vinyl Me, Please a go-to for record collectors on the hunt for the best in quality and exclusive records.

VNYL

VNYL takes vinyl subscription services just a little more personally. Subscribers start by filling out a music profile, which allows the VNYL team to curate selections per user. Each month, members get three records fitting their tastes. It has an array of genres, with the service offering considerations toward what collection a user actually has so it doesn’t repeat itself. Tailor-made for a feel-good experience with every delivery, VNYL offers something special for those in search of a more personalized vinyl subscription service.

The Sound of Vinyl

Sound of Vinyl has a unique model wherein every month certain credits are provided to the subscriber, which can redeem against the purchase of their records from an extensive catalog. This flexibility gives subscribers an opportunity to choose precisely the record they desire instead of receiving any predetermined record in the mail. In addition to this, on offer from the Sound of Vinyl is a personal touch through which you get recommendations based on your listening trends and tastes. It’s a service, spread across a variety of genres with exclusives, tailor-made for people who want more control in their vinyl buying while still getting the perks of a subscription.

Vinyl Moon

What really sets Vinyl Moon apart is the way it combines music discovery with visual art. Each month, subscribers get a compilation of up-and-coming artists’ tracks pressed onto high-quality vinyl. But what makes Vinyl Moon special is the regard it has toward the artwork—each record comes with unique, visually stunning packaging designed by different artists.
