Vinyl Wings

Hey RowBearToe, Haha well, I guess I'll take it as a compliment if it looks like VMP since they're probably one of the biggest guys doing this! Not at all affiliated with them, to be quite frank this is a pretty small operation in the UK started by myself and a few friends. We wanted to bring more of the music we loved, and strongly felt that Jazz was underrepresented today in both popular media and vinyl subscription offers, so we decided to make our own! Well, I'm hoping that the upside is that we don't just reach the experienced jazz aficionados but also interest younger people in the genre. Sadly, I feel that it's a bit of a dying art and it's a shame because I find it musically phenomenal and creatively unparalleled. To answer your question, the kick is that we bring customers choices of what we love and think is worth a listen and try to bring the back story to each album and artist in our monthly boxes as well! Cost-wise it may be slightly above going out and buying them yourself (although frankly not by much given new pressing prices today), but it's the luxury of having someone select, research, send and package everything for you, for your enjoyment every month!

For those of you who are Jazz lovers and are looking for a place to start, Vinyl Wings is a jazz vinyl subscription based in the UK. You get a choice of 3 records per month and you pick the two you like best. It's all focused on jazz and some soul music as well currently, but may be of interest to some of you! Each box comes with a note on the choice of albums and artists and a bit of history too!
