Vinyl Subscriptions

I came across this subscription site and was wondering if anyone has used it or knows any other sites like this, preferably U.K./Europe based. What are your thoughts if you have used vinyl subscription services.

Thanks! I saw that one but I'd end up spending €33/$44/£26 for one record a month. It seems ok if you're living in the states, works out a lot cheaper with shipping rates as they're based in the U.S.

A couple of my buddies were members of the Sub Pop Singles Club back in 90 or so. They got a lot of cool records in the mail.

Yup, like so random omg! very gimmicky!

While I prefer to discover stuff for myself I think the idea could be potentially good if it's done right. When I had a look at That Special Record, it was all house/techno stuff. I knew none of the artists so I YouTubed some of them and I thought most sounded pretty good. I think if record labels you loved were doing it you'd get some gems.

I think the concept suits a specific genre but from what I've seen from some of the other sites they're really aiming at a young fashionable audience that have just bought a turntable. Urban Outfitters springs to mind.

I'm still intrigued to sign up if I find a suitable one, even if it's just a month or two.
