In his autobiography he stated that he played his best performance during his Mwandishi years, so I definitely agree with you on this one being added!

Zamrock Anthology now finally listed as "Sold Out" I wonder if it actually did or they just decided that since they're already pushing the next one better make this one look good!
I'm a little conflicted about this set, I am excited about it and was happy they stepped out of their comfort zone but the pricing still kills me every time! Ideally I would love to see them do small runs of more obscure labels or genres but at a much more reasonable price point but I know that's never going to happen!

I would have loved this set, but the pricing was a no go. Hate to see what they're going to charge for Herbie.

Blue Note was $230
Motown was $265
Stax was $230
I could see Herbie clocking in at $300 with early bird and a discount code to bring it closer to the Stax and Blue note pricing. They pushed the pricing a little too far with Motown and I think they had a hard time selling it. Hopefully they don't push Herbie too high, even though it's almost definitely going to sell out.

motown was almost 350 from what i remember

Yes, all of the numbers I listed included the early bird and a discount code aside from Blue Note which did not have a discount code.
The prices after discount line up with Herbie being around $300-$325 at full price. After discounts and early bird I see it falling into the $250 range.
Motown was ridiculously priced because VMP saw Blue Note Anthology sell out in hours and they got greedy.
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✌
Dang you got me. I am not a huge jazz collector but I do own 7-8 Miles Davis records and have about 50 jazz records.
As of now I have zero Herbie Hancock records. It looks like I too will be picking up a copy of this. Time to save money!

Anyone received shipping yet for Zamrock, I've got a mysterious package coming from Harrisburg, and since I am no longer a VMP member not quite sure what else it could be. All my other orders I'm waiting for are coming from the west coast or canada, or overseas, so I have a hunch it may be Zamrock
In the past, VMP never shipped Anthology of NC. They shipped the Blue Note one out of Colorado, and the rest out of NY (Though I wouldnt be surprised if the NY shipping partner is not operating right now). I really really really hope they don't start using Saddle Creek for Anthology too...

Hmmm time to dig through order histories and see if there is anything I overlooked

Since I still don't have a shipping notice for April's yet, who knows. They did say they would be shipping in late April so it should be going out soon-ish, I hope.

I reached out to VMP on Twitter earlier this week. They told me that the Zamrock anthology would start shipping out toward the end of next week.

So what date around do we all think the Herbie Hancock Anthology Box Set will go on sale? 
I was thinking maybe really soon, but I think it won’t go on sale anytime soon as the Zamrock box hasn’t even started shipping yet! I think the Herbie Hancock Anthology will go on sale sometime in June!
What do you all think!?

kicking myself for waiting too long on the zamrock set. Hopefully there's a few that get listed on discogs for list price.

Supposedly most of the albums will get a re-release within the next year. Someone reached out to Econ and he supposedly said all the Now-Again titles will get released.
