I'm a little bummed about #2. I really liked the staggered shipments.

From VMP: Some key improvements we're working on... 1. Updating our quality control process to be much more comprehensive, and making sure we have all components in-hand early on to eliminate risk of production issues. 2. Shipping Anthology all at once, while keeping the element of surprise...

I wonder if the next Anthology isn't from a genre that is stereotypically reissued for "audiophiles" whether they'll go the Kevin Gray/RTI route again, or use GZ. Given that DGJ (nice phrase!) isn't your thing, maybe you'll be even more excited about the next one.

A week ago, they mentioned that there would be a customer survey coming, but I haven't seen anything about it since so I wrote in with feedback to anthology@vinylmeplease.com and also sent it in Facebook message to Cameron Schaefer. I echoed what many have said here about how horrible the...

Here's a rundown of the whole series: http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Comp_Milestone_Twofers.htm

IMO the best value in Bill Evans records (as well as several other artists that recorded for Riverside) is the Milestone two-fer series of reissues from the 1970s. These are all AAA repackagings of classic albums that usually don't cost much because Milestone changed the album titles so it's not...

I think the issue is that nobody has their copy in-hand yet, so that's why there's not much activity with sales.

Can't comment on an OG copy, but want to make sure you know that the recent VMP recipients are all getting a 2nd copy of Schizophrenia (disc only, likely) due to some of the copies being pressed with the wrong labels. There should be quite a few of these on the secondary market once people...

Andrew Winistorfer (on the VMP subreddit) says it's the same master that's been available for some time now, just with a VMP color variant.

Thanks for reminding me of the existence of those Japanese reissues. I think I might put together a collection of my own by sourcing from that series.

Thanks for your reply. The 2 Coltrane, Mingus, Oliver Nelson, and John Lee Hooker albums are all sold out except through a purchase of the entire $1,000 set. Based on the copies for sale on Discogs, it's basically $650 for those 5 records. In my rationalizing brain, that would be $350 for the...

Hello, I sort of have my eye on this Impulse! set from Analogue Productions, but I'm not super familiar with the catalog and these specific pressings. For all of you Impulse! fanatics out there, Are these the "right" 20 titles? I don't own any of these, and am only familiar with a few of the...

I wonder if there was an issue with your download? None of the files were especially noisy compared to the others when I just checked the links. As far as points of discussion go, one of these is the new SRX vinyl which is supposed to lower the noise floor and bring the listener closer into...

I thought this might interest some folks. Wayne Shorter playing with Herbie Hancock and Joe Chambers on three different albums, pressed by three different outlets: Vinyl Me Please Blue Note Anthology, Music Matters, and Blue Note Tone Poet. If you know the albums and their release histories...

I'm still waiting on my second batch of Anthology records (I'm one of the people who got the shipping notice but then the package just stayed in Denver for a week), so I haven't heard the album yet. I am a little familiar with Grant Green, though, as he is one of my favorite guitarists. His...

I would be way into posts of records with people explaining what they like about it, who is playing on it, or something that just goes beyond "look I have this record and it is spinning now." That's not only a preference from a content point, but it also really clutters the feed when people post...

Howdy. I didn't have access to a piano over the weekend, so I didn't have a great way to explain this. I think this video will address what you were talking about, but let me know if not!

Anyone else here a Newvelle Records subscriber? They have a pretty strange model: $400 for 6 new contemporary jazz albums by a mix of established and new artists. Premium packaging, and pressed at RTI (though on clear vinyl, which I think is a bit strange). I was on the fence for some time since...

Thanks! I'm glad you feel like my posts are contributing to meaningful dialogue. I have read and enjoyed Ashley Kahn's books on Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme, and I recommend those to anyone who is interested in reading jazz history through a specific lens. I appreciate their writing because...
