Vinyl subscription: 3 second-hand LPs every month, picked for your taste

For music lovers who want to discover new records without digging through crates themselves. No endless scrolling, no difficult choices. Just music that suits you.

By the team at The Vinyl Basement

What is a vinyl subscription?

A vinyl subscription is a subscription that sends vinyl records to your home at set times. At The Vinyl Basement that means three second-hand LPs per delivery, hand-picked for your music taste and checked for sound and condition beforehand. You choose monthly or quarterly, from €37.45 per month.

In short

  • 3 second-hand LPs per delivery, matched to your taste profile
  • Choose 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, or a quarterly subscription
  • From €44.95 to €37.45 per delivery: the longer, the better the price
  • Free shipping within the Netherlands and, because the subscription is personal, free returns if you already own a record
  • Cancel after the minimum term, via your customer portal or by email

Sound familiar?

You stream endlessly but keep hearing the same artists.

You want to build a record collection but don't know where to start.

Digging through crates at a record fair takes more time than you have.

You don't dare buy a second-hand record that might crackle or skip.

Why discovering new music is hard

Recommendations look like what you already know. Streaming services suggest songs based on what you already listen to, so you mostly hear variations on your own favourites.

Second-hand supply is scattered. Good records are spread across markets, thrift shops and listings, and condition varies from copy to copy.

A sleeve doesn't tell you how an album sounds. Choosing without listening is a gamble, especially in a genre you don't know yet.

How we choose your records

  1. 1

    You fill in your taste profile

    Genres, 2–3 artists you listen to often, the vibe that suits you (chill, energetic, dark or retro) and what you definitely don't want.

  2. 2

    We select by hand

    We use your profile as a starting point, not a shopping list. That way you get albums that fit but also surprise you.

  3. 3

    Every record is checked

    Every record is checked by hand for sound quality and condition. Briefly describe your check here, for example cleaning and test-playing.

  4. 4

    Magazine included, and adjustable

    Our magazine tells the story behind each record. Has your taste changed? Email us and we'll update your preferences.

“As requested, these are bands I didn't know and hadn't put on my playlist, but I'm pleasantly surprised. A nice touch is that all three fit a different genre and come from different places around the world.”

Is a vinyl subscription worth it?
If you like discovering new music, yes. Each time you get three second-hand records, hand-picked for your taste, with the magazine included and no shipping costs in the Netherlands. If you want to decide exactly which albums you buy, a subscription is less of a fit: we choose the records.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, after the minimum term you chose (1, 3, 6 or 12 months, or 1 quarter). After that your subscription continues until you cancel it via your customer portal or by email.
Can I skip a month or pause my subscription?
No, skipping a month or pausing isn't possible. After the minimum term you can cancel your subscription via your customer portal or by email.
Can I reject records in advance?
No, you don't see the records in advance. In your taste profile you can indicate which genres or artists you really don't want; we take that into account.
How do I avoid getting records I already own?
Fill in which records you already own in your taste profile. If you still receive a record you already had, you can return it free of charge with the subscription and we'll send a different album.
