Sorry I just can't stop thinking about this. So everyone complained last time about not knowing the titles upfront (even though we kind of figured them out and then it sold out anyway). Instead of taking that feedback and deciding to announce them this time because, you know, that's what their customers want, they've stuck to their guns and are still not announcing them (and have seemingly made it harder to deduce this time). SO....someone at VMP (probably many people) got together and decided that the surprise element is so important to the Anthology experience that they're sticking with it in spite of the negative feedback from the BN rollout.

My question is...WHY? How is this experience enhanced by NOT knowing what the albums will be? Why is THAT (the surprise) more important than giving your customers what they want (knowing what they're purchasing)??

Because not everyone complained about it? Only a vocal few did?

With VMP valuing these at $40+ a piece retail, is anyone fearing an incoming severe hike to the Classics line pricing?

 

[Chucktshoes]

i dont think this will sell out in 3 hours

the price is too high

Edit: claimed

Others have offered, so I'll offer mine, too...

PM me for my Anthology #1 code.

Cheers.

I’d almost a rate hike and then keeping the AAA remastering and QRP pressing than sacrificing quality... so long as it’s in line with Analogue Productions or what not.

I’m not gonna read the last twenty or so pages. But I got and read the emails. They have clearly lost their fucking minds. I am 100% the mark for this and even if they hadn’t royally fucked up Blue Note, I would not be in at this price.

Is it? Sides will be rather short even for 45rpm, I think.

 

[TCell]

1. The first LP by a solo woman in Motown History: Mary Wells - Bye Bye Baby / I Don't Want To Take A Chance

 

[Jeff Lerner]

The clues changed my thinking on this and I decided to buy it ...









Two copies....

It’s a self destructive career plan. As a $23 add on the Classics are awesome value. As a single month international membership they aren’t worth it. Price them up and gain short term but lose out long term

its better sound quality

that or they decided to no longer squish the album onto 1LP and make it a double LP

 

[High Rant District]

I’m not going to use my $30 discount code, so if anyone wants it... you'll have to get it elsewhere because I don’t believe in enabling self-destructive behavior.

 

[Twentytwo]

Me when I see the price of this Anthology.

There’s a part of me that just wants to post it and let whoever uses it first have it. It’s not my money...

 

[doncornelius]

I decided to use the extra income I have coming next month, in time for the credit card payment, on this. The titles I see listed sound good, even though I have Syreeta and Erykah already.

Spoiler: 8 Women of Motown Titles...I think

1. The first LP by a solo woman in Motown History:
Mary Wells - Bye Bye Baby / I Don't Want To Take A Chance

2. An LP recorded in a single night to capitalize on the title track racing up the charts:
The Marvelletes – Please Mr. Postman OR Martha & The Vandellas - Heat Wave

3. The first mega smash LP at Motown, it was on the charts for more than a year.
The Supremes- Where Did Our Love Go

4. Was the only solo LP the artist ever got to make.
Tammi Terrell - Irrisistable

5. Features a Stevie Wonder co-writer covering the Beatles using a talkbox.
Syreeta - Syreeta

6. By one of the stars of the '20 Feet from Stardom' documentary, a backup singer whose solo LPs are hidden gems.
Tata Vega – Full Speed Ahead or Totally Tata or Try All My Love or Givin’ All My Love

7. Completely self-written and self-produced, a rarity for Motown.
Teena Marie- It Must Be Magic

8. Written after a period of writer's block, it's her most underrated LP.
Erykah Badu - Worldwide Underground (or possibly New Amerykah, Pt.1, if you think WU is an EP).

What do I win?
