260 with discount? I honestly forget now...
AP swapped some of their titles for a ton of VMP boxes. That's absolutely what happened. Good for them, I hope they sell. it's a good set.

Now that I have the box, I wouldn't pay that price for every record, but most of them are absolute bangers. It was definitely worth it at the discounted price.

This really resonates with me. I'm thinking 'almost' the same for most of the VMP sets I get. I generally don't like "box" sets and would rather have a set of releases like volumes without the "box" piece for easier access. I've found from VMP that I really love MOST LPs
EX - Blue Note- everything but the last LP
Motown - The first three/four
Stax - everything but (Johnny Taylor, William Bell, Johnny Taylor)
But not the others as "keepers". Sure, they have their moments, but are the going to last in the long run, no. Although to be fair, I'm a collector, and Impulsive. So I'll keep them for a bit, but am already thinking about what to sell vs keep. I assume there are very few people who LOVE everything on these sets, right??? Most have a sweet spot. Tell me I'm wrong?

surprised it took this long to come up with a Now Again boxset.

Can you post details? This is actually something I'm very interested in and a quick google didn't turn anything up

All the Witch albums have been reissued. same with Amanaz. The Ngozi family has definitely seen reissues of most of their stuff but I don't think anyone has touched albums for the others yet.

That's interesting because the anthology site makes it sound like they're all being reissued for the first time.

"In their original form" is key here.

I don't know anything about this scene and am interested in checking it out, but I still have a really hard time buying without knowing exactly what's in there.
Looks like the s/t Witch that says "Including Janet" on the front hadn't been reissued. Bad Character, 99% Confusion and Happy Trip same for Ngozi Family. 45,000 Volts reissue is hard to find apparently.
Got any recommendations for albums in that scene to check out?

It's such a wide range of sounds that sorta gets included in Zamrock.. so it really depends on your taste. Some of it is more funk-rock, some is more folk-rock, some is almost punk like.. so it's really up to your tastes..
I really like the Salty Dog album. It's on the heavier side of things and Moss (Jason Connoy, the guy who discovered Obie Trice and has done tonnes of shit for the Zamrock scene) reissued it on his label Strawberry Rain a few years ago (also highly recommend everything on that label).
The Rikki Ililonga & Musi O-Tunya comp NA did years ago covers a lot of the different sounds..
Basically, most of the albums.. you'll get a wide range of stuff. Some artists lean heavier into certain sounds and styles than others and you just sorta migrate to the stuff that works for you.. or thats how I approach it.

Just follow the chart here. Africa by Amanaz is probably the most well-known and popular. Shadoks reissued a bunch of these in the late 2000s, which kind of started the zamrock revival.

I bet you'll see copies in Hamilton and Toronto. Moss does record shows here and he always has copies of his stuff. There's no way they didn't let him keep copies.
