Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I REALLY WANT THIS ANTHOLOGY!!!

But I don’t know if I want to spend so much money right now, plus the Australian Dollar to US Dollar isn’t in my favour 😶

I hear you. I live in Canada. The Canadian dollar went down badly recently as well. Zamrock is something that will diversify my collection. I have enough jazz and soul that I don' t spin often enough.

Great find!

Glad I can pass on this and save some money for whenever the hell RSD happens this year.

It will be a pass for me as well (high-five).

Though I think there will be one mega unreleased live album in the Herbie box.

This is so awesome. I'm curious what the albums will be? Based on what hasn't had a recent reissues, here are my guesses:

Blue Note Leader (Edit: Empyrean Isles)
Miles' 2nd Quintet (Miles in the Sky)
Jazz-Funk Fusion (Sextant or Thrust?)
VSOP (VSOP)
80s/90s Herbie (Future Shock)
Elder Statesman Herbie (Gershwin's World)

I’m happy with all of these but I’ve already got the MoFi pressing of Miles In The Sky and you can’t really get a better pressing than a MoFi pressing when it comes to Miles Davis’ discography.....🤪🙉🦚🤷‍♂️

But who even cares because I’d still be all over this Boxset! 😋😈😏🙊

I have that same Mofi reissue. It is an experience to listen to Mofi jazz records.

That's the main reason why I will likely pass on this Herbie box. There may be better versions out there for many of the albums in box.

*Edited* With boxes like Herbie, I'm not sure how they can find that many obscure records unless it is something he did recently. I hope VMP proves me wrong.

Yeah, it's a Catch 22. All the 2nd Quintet albums have been reissued by MoFi at this point (I think). But, I'm not sure how you tell the Story of Herbie Hancock without including the 2nd Quintet. Of course they told The Story of Stax without Isaac Hayes, so...

Also, I'm wrong on My Point of View, as that's slated for an August 28* Tone Poet release. (* assuming RTI starts pressing records again.)

I think Sextant will be in the box for sure. Man child as well since that hasn’t been pressed since the 70s in the US. Wondering if they put out a live album of his for the first time or something exclusive...you can just get a lot of fusion stuff of his for pretty cheap still (like Mr. Hands and I regularly see Manchild and Sextant in local shops for $10 or under.) will be very interested to see what they choose though.

I havent bought an Anthology yet but I am all in for this one. Love Herbie (managed to see him live late last year) and hopefully its some of the more obscure releases! Its his 80th birthday today, would of been cool if they announced it today officially.

I know! Like, I am getting this no matter what! This will definitely be my fave Anthology box so far! 😍😚😇

Fingers crossed that they don’t include Head Hunters in the Boxset 🤞 We all have that on vinyl and I’m sure most of us have a really good pressing of it! I’ve got the Analogue Productions pressing of it, but I’ve even heard the Music On Vinyl pressing for it is superb!

Its certainly going to be my favourite they have released. I have read his autobiography a couple of times now and there's so many underrated albums which Herbie considers to be amongst his best. Seeing that he actually picked them brings me hope that they will contain a lot of these obscure ones!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! That’s what I thought too! I’m so happy he picked the albums! It brought me so much joy to hear that he picked which albums go into this Boxset. Moreover, I’m thrilled that it’s 8 albums in this Boxset and not 6 !!! 🙌

I’M SO DELIGHTED RIGHT NOW! 🥰🐒

I'm a bit surprised you didn't go for the BN one!
