Any more pressing details on the Mingus Three from Rhino? They tend to keep those details pretty quiet before it is available.

I mentioned it a while back (or at least I meant to)...in any case, worth reiterating for those who might be interested. There is a Speakers Corner press of this one on the way, allegedly due in late March. Pre-orders up at The In Groove and the other usual suspects.
Charles Mingus - Oh Yeah - Speakers Corner LP
"Oh Yeah" - Charles Mingus (p, voc); Booker Ervin (ts); Roland Kirk (fl, ts, siren, manzello, stritch); Jimmy Knepper (tb); Doug Watkins (b); Dannie Richmond (dr) Commenting on this album in 1962, Billboard magazine wrote: Ā»He seems to be everywhere, everywhere that is but on his usual...

I know its not straight ahead Jazz but I've been a long time fan of the Black Radio albums by Robert Glasper, I think his latest in the trilogy is the strongest. It's a really wonderful album front to back, lots of beautiful energy captured within. Going to have to pick up that VMP press.

I think this is going to happen more tooā¦less supply from pressing plants so local shops will have to get better margins. The last few times Iāve gone to some local shops, their new shelves have been fairly empty.My local is charging $44 now for TP's.

early reports today are that the pressing is clean, flat, and remaster is gorgeous. I won't likely have mine for a few weeks as it will ship with some other things so enjoy early birds!
It's a lovely pressing, if you don't mind that Chad/Universal don't bother to check the artwork. The correct catalog number, BTW, is A-30.
With all the money Chad brings in, you would think he has enough people to check the artwork. This fuckup is much more obvious than Philadephlia, and I'm betting that Chad never fixes it and replaces it.

That seems like an intentional choice vs mistakeā¦the Philadephlia mistake was VMP sending the wrong file to the printers which is just classic disorganization for a graphic designer. Neither are ideal scenarios though.

If the pressing is good, I could tolerate a departure on the album art. I mean, a departure on the Tone Poet of Gerald Wilsonās āMoment of Truthā might have even been welcome!

It's a mistake. The correct catalog number is A-30. They put the side 1 run out groove code on the spine.
I just point it out because people jump all over VMP for things like this but Chad gets a free pass. VMP fixes them. Chad won't.
A guy made a video about this last year. Inconssistent use of catalogue numbers on the spines for the AS Impulse series

Sure. But one is $30 and the other is $350. The VMP one is a bit more of a mystery because they spelled it correctly in all the mock-ups and promotional material, so they knew there was a spelling mistake at some point and just didnāt send the right files to the printer, then either sent it out without noticing or sent it out hoping people wouldnāt notice.
If I recall correctly, AS fixed the misprint with A Love Supreme so wouldnāt be shocked if they fix this with later pressings.
Either way, both are a bit annoying and unfortunate. I could be wrong too but pretty sure I have a bunch of Universal reissues that put the runout on the spine which is why I donāt think it was a mistake but an intentional choice.
