Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[wooha]

Might be the first Anthology I get. Ghostly is a great label, I dig a lot of their artists.

Probably will be a good selection for non-electronica inclined people as a jumping in point.

 

[Jan]

So they won't really get an album that would truly be the big grab (the Minecraft ost)

That could be the third compilation

 

[Heath]

Plus as I mentioned the audience for a ghostly compilation is younger and has less money than audiophiles

That's quite a generalization you're just tossing out there willy-nilly

 

[bother]

Except the whole audiophile remastering from original analogue tapes thing that people said drove the prices for the other two

Yeah this is true but then again, it's VMP. I fully expect this to be in the 300 range, maybe less with "discounts" or something. Hoping I'm wrong though, I'm probably going to buy. I'd be psyched if it ends up in the 200 range.

I think I might be an athology completionist...

I know but 2 of the albums are adult swim compilations

I am not a big ghostly fan, but if an indie label i follow would celebrate their birthday with a box of 6 albums (ok 8lps) for 300$ i would probably be dissapointed/ furious

3 of them being compilations as well

Adult swim is almost 20 years old now. Lots of older folks with cash to burn still tune in.

The number of large firm attorneys/accountants/doctors/[insert other professional here] I know who would pay a lot of money for adult swim compilations would probably make your jaw drop (though fwiw I'm not one of them)

Basically I'm just saying I don't think VMP will see a need to make this any cheaper than the others. And any market driver that would've brought the price down is likely negated by limiting it to 500 boxes.

 

[RobbieBobby]

This is another one where I will have to take a hard stand on price. If they can get this out at $150 I may impulse buy on the day of. Anything 200 or above and I am passing until that Stax Anthology comes along.

 

[mitchwagz]

I don’t see how this will be less than $300 non sale price... early bird sale pricing might be $30 off of that. It is limited to 500 after all... I would possibly buy it if the comps looked good and it was around $120. So essentially no way in hell I will be getting this. Hopefully it sounds good and is curated well.

 

[bother]

Just looking at ghostly's site, they typically sell records in the $20 range...

I don't know, maybe it could be at the $200 price point. Won't get my hopes up though.

 

[duke86fan]

if its at 150 or so i would actually think about buying it... i am getting a job and that does actually sound decent (there are some great songs on ghostly swims and some bad as well... so i'll see)


EDIT: actually this one album is way too long and i am not sure

 

[duke86fan]

here is my guessed list of what the albums will be
(i cant find a dabrye album that passed the "out of print" list, so we know he's not on the actual list)

Ghostly Sounds (already confirmed)
Ghostly Sounds 2 (already confirmed)
Shigeto - Full Circle (the video has it in the background)
C418 - Minecraft Volume Alpha (i dunno if i should count this as a compilation or an album but it seems like the obvious choice to have this be out of print or the beta volume being the first pressing)
HTRK - Work (work, work) (work work work)
Any Christopher Willits album (like all but one album is not pressed)

I would be A-OK with any or all of that. I can't really believe how excited I am for this

 

[Crabbers]

I might be too old, but I’ve never heard of this label before in my life.

enjoy all those who are excited though

first 3 are confirmed by the video and the email
minecraft seems pretty likely but there is the issue of the liscencing of it
christopher willits is a maybe, i mean he is in the list of contributors. but so is dabrye and he's not there

They've been around 20 years, same year I graduated college, so I suspect genre influences that knowledge as much as age. Adult Swim launched in 2001 (the halcyon days of Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Brak, Home Movies), though not everyone tried to track down the source of the bumper music

 

[JonnyH]

$150 for anthology? I feel like y’all are dreamin.

We had adult swim parties in my dorm room starting with the second ever. The first one me and my dorm neighbor found on accident and were just like, “what the fuck is this??” The entire time.
