Dreams ordered! I will say the last few VMP records I’ve gotten, mostly from GZ, have been awesome. No issues so hopefully that continues! Very excited to finally nab this one.
 
My mistake, I was looking at the one I had added to my cart which was letting me check out as a non-member.

Member price is $33. It's still worth the $43 it would cost you to join just for that record.
 
Dreams is back

Storf is saying VMP is doing 7 more Miles Davis albums (sounds like an anthology) including In A Silent Way. He seems to say they will be AAA...

Dammit just when I was getting ready to say goodbye to VMP. I know if they do an anthology it won't probably happen until later in 2023 or even 2024. Not sure how much more Miles I need with 26 records in my collection. There are a few holes still and wouldn't mind an upgrade on a couple, but I think about 20 are AAA.

Yeah, a Miles Anthology sounds really cool at first, but it's kinda like the Willie Anthology - I'm not sure there are any Miles albums I NEED at this point. I have most everything I want of Miles in good quality pressings (MOFI, AP, RKS Mono, Speakers Corner, Impex, OJC) . I guess some of the MOFI's aren't AAA (??), but they all sound amazing.

I said the same thing about the Grateful Dead. And, on paper, it doesn't make sense: any casual fan will crack open a compilation or best-of or whatever, and the hardcore already have nice copies of everything available, and honestly it's a lot cheaper to build your own box. Someone did the numbers and you could build a mostly mofi version of the GD box for like $100 cheaper. The only real incentive was the one live album that hadn't been put out yet, but that 1 album wasn't going to snag anyone except the obsessed faithful. They really overestimated the deadhead's willingness to spend money for no reason.

But it still sold and apparently made money, so.

I guess a Miles box would live and die on which specific albums are in it. Something early, something bop/cool, maybe an orchestraor soundtrack, a live album probably, an album with a also-famous collaborator like monk or trane or whoever -- miles worked with everybody after all, something from the electric period and one of the latter day albums no one really talks about so you can call it "an overlooked gem" in the press materials.

Im with @TCell on this one.

Miles would make for a great box set but the chances of them releasing a set where I didn't have any of them is pretty slim. That isn't meant as a brag but more pointing out that most peoples jazz collections will likely have at least 1 of his albums, likely a big one which would need to be in the Anthology really.
