Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Jeff Lerner said:
For AAA Motown, I would pay up to $30/album, so with the "extras" (which I don't care about but which they will use to justify charging more) I will strongly consider this if it is priced at $250.

But, I didn't follow the issues surrounding the BN Anthology. Was it a shit show? I love Motown but I don't want to drop that kind of coin if they don't have their shit together.

Mono records with stereo labels, cd scan artwork, wrong artwork, booklet in and envelope so creased as hell. So all in all, yeah, it was a shit show!

As an outside observer to the debacle my "favorite" part was when the first packages arrived and the one LP was actually the CD artwork, and VMP straight up lied to their customers about it.

They first said that they searched and searched and tried to find an OG copy to source the art from but couldn't and that BN didn't have it. Then suddenly, after enough people complained, they suddenly had access to the actual LP artwork and sent everyone new sleeves.
 
Here's Storfer's response to my Q on Reddit asking what the 8 titles were: "You'll find out answers on Thursday when it goes live, my man, I'm not gonna spoil anything."

As the feedback many of us gave VMP was please tell us the titles in advance, I can only assume they haven't listened to any feedback, so be prepared for the set to be $280, and a FB group moderated by the Vinyl Junkies idiot. Smh.

The Facebook group will be a game changer. I can't wait for Ron Jeremy to mansplain the importance of women in Motown. Keep rocking jazzbos!!

Of course, this is an essential part of the bonus content in anthologies! Why would VMP learn anything from him running rampant through their forum and then their FB group acting like a complete shitstain?

Telling us the artists on the day of sale does nothing for me, I want to be able to listen to them before forking over the dough. Ugh.
 
Personally I’d love a nice AAA of Diana by Diana Ross. Might be alone in my love there, and I know it’s a $5 record, but hey I want to hear the best possible version. And it covers a style of music outside of the core Motown sound from the golden era.
 
So damn hilarious I get a mistakenly sent, second Dexter Calling replacement* the day this email goes out. Almost like the universe is telling me to stay away, never forget ahaha. But this is damn tempting.

*I had to wait months for a replacement LP while they reprinted jackets, despite having them to send and having sent others. They said it would be in the final shipment with the corrected jacket - surprise, it wasn't. I let them know, and they put in for it to be sent. Couple weeks go by, no notification. I follow up, they apologized saying it would go right out. A couple weeks go by, I follow up again, they profusely apologize and personally hand mail me one and it shows up relatively quick - BUT, in the sleeve, cool fine whatever. Another week or so goes by, and I get a shipment notification for "Dexter Calling (record only)". It indeed shows up without the sleeve. 🤦‍♂️:ROFLMAO:

Why does it seem like anyone can add their email to the list and be given early access w/ a discount? I thought this was just for those who bought the first anthology?

My understanding is on 9/19 the early access will have a discounted price. If you were a previous Anthology customer you’ll receive a further $30 discount by entering your code at checkout.
