Amazon has quietly launched a new subscription service. Vinyl of the Month Club is a service that provides users with an analog record of recommended alums from the 60s and 70s, one per month for $25 per month.
Analog records have been quietly reviving lately. If you want to enjoy analog music, of course, vinyl records are perfect, and the music of that time can bring you nostalgia, but when the record player was in its heyday, music in the heyday of the record player could be a problem for the new generation who only knew real-time music.
If you enjoy music, the process of deciding what to buy is one of the pleasures, but in an era where hobbies are also diversifying, passive listening, enjoying one piece of work carefully selected by experts every month, can also be good in the sense of efficiently using limited time.
On the Amazon introduction page, representative artist groups from the 60s and 70s, such as jazz, hard rock, blues rock, R&B, and progressive rock, such as Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Aretha Franklin, and Pink Floyd, are lined up in the UK and America. Of course, you will also receive works by other artists besides these. If you are not at all interested in the work that has arrived, the user can return it unopened.
Since this subscription service is a one-month contract, you can cancel the contract right away if you can’t see your favorite works even after using it for several months or you don’t enjoy it. Currently, this service is only available in the United States.
In the United States, analog record sales increased 29% last year, with sales reaching $626 million. CD sales continue to decline as streaming services become popular, but total physical media sales declined only 0.5% thanks to the growth of analog records. Of course, Amazon isn’t the first to offer an analog record subscription service. A service called Vinyl Me, Please has been sending curator-selected analog records to members in 40 countries every month since 2013, and the number of members has reached 30,000.
