Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Yeah, we're probably getting both. I'd add a Miles Davis record to that mix, but who knows, given that all studio albums have been reissued recently. Maybe Plugged Nickel? And in regards to VSOP, I wouldn't be so sure about it. That record is basically a recap of his career up to that point, which feels redundant if that same period will be represented in the boxset. I would lean more towards one of the later albums with the VSOP Quintet, which were an important point in Jazz history after the forays of all of those musicians with fusion.

Yeah I think you’re right with regards to VSOP if we get an album by then or not. If we get the plugged nickel set I would be absolutely shocked but would smash buy so fast.

Yeah, I would be super pissed if they include Plucked Nickel, mainly because I won't be able to buy it lol

Who knows!

I really hope they're up front about what's in this box. I'm down, but it kind of depends on what's in there... I have a lot of Herbie already.

They did announce all of the records in the Zamrock box set before it went on sale so hoping they do that for the future box sets.

I feel like they released the names for the Zamrock box because it was going to be a hard sell. I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to the cloak and dagger shit on this one knowing it'll probably sell on the strength of being Herbie Hancock selected by the man himself

Yeah this might be right and I'll probably pass in that case... most Herbie albums are pretty available. But we will see, I can't pretend like I won't change my mind a hundred time between now and release.

400 dollars?

Almost all of the box sets have been similar pricing. All sub 300, some as low as 200. I'm guessing this is going to be same price as the Zamrock box set which was something like $220 with early bird pricing and discount code for purchasing a previous anthology (those codes seem to be easily obtained if you have not purchased before).

Motown was $345

That's crazy haha. Did anybody pay that though? Looked it up again and it was $295 early + a discount for previous anthology subscribers. $345 after that the initial window.

Haha yeah I hope nobody paid that much. I can see a Herbie box being one of the higher priced sets though, assuming it’s AAA.
 
I don’t know about all of you but I am so freaking excited about this Herbie Hancock Anthology Boxset! Especially as the recent VMP Anthologies have been sublime in terms of pressings and presentations/rollout! 👌

THIS BOXSET IS GOING TO BE SEMI LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME! 💯

I’ve got pretty much all of Miles Davis MoFi pressings and I’m so stoked to know that I’ll have a great collection of Herbie Hancock too - where are all the pressings I have will be quality ones! 💎

I’m definitely going to be listening to the podcast and am going to be fully immersing myself in all the Herbie Hancock albums! 🎹🎧👨‍💻

I’M SO EXCITED THINKING ABOUT IT ALL 😇🥳😃🤙✌️
 
I’m not going to be really buying any upcoming VMP store exclusives unless it’s an amazing store exclusive because I need to make sure I can comfortable pay for this Anthology! And I’d rather invest my money into this than into general store exclusives!
 
The jazz I currently prefer is typically late 50s to mid 60s, I haven't gotten into the majority of Herbies music enough to warrant a £300+ spend and all the stress that comes with a vmp purchase.

I'll keep an eye on how this progresses tho, Herbie comes across as a great guy and I'd be intrigued to find out which albums he's chosen.

Fair enough! I do think a lot of his fusion albums will be in this box set because you can’t tell the story of Herbie without showing how versatile and adaptive he was.
 
Herbie is a hard pass for me, great musician with great albums, but not what I am looking for in an Anthology. I Enjoyed Ghostly despite the 'deception' and am excited for Zamrock, so I am looking forward to seeing what they put out later this year, hopefully putting the spotlight back on more obscure Label/Genre journeys.
 
I have to say I am really on the fence about Herbie. For me it will come down to what titles are included and of course cost. I have several recent reissues which I doubt VMP would include. I do hope they include something that has not been released on vinyl before, most likely a live album.
