Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Well, I decided to open episode 3 early and I'm glad I did. I got duplicate liner notes and one of the sleeves is badly split at the bottom-- the glue is basically coming off. I could fix it myself, but the top left is crushed too, and since I paid a ton of money...

Gotta say, the last double LP's sleeve seems like they really cheaped out. Kind of disappointed in that honestly. Not up to the standards of the others.

Same issue here with the split.

Ditto, I let them know but am gonna try and fix it myself.
 
if anyone wants a 10% discount code, hit me up - not buying this. I assume the code isn't tied to me? Did people have issues with motown?
It's gone.

Man that's such a bummer. Honestly this package has been great until they pulled this cheap bullshit. If I paid $35 or whatever it comes out to for this record and got this super flimsy crappy sleeve, I'd be unhappy. I think I am unhappy. Makes me worried about their Ghostly antho, how bad those sleeves are going to be if they have multiple double LPs.
 
Possible Hip Hop Anthology down the road. From reddit:

I wonder if there is ever any plans to do a Hip Hop themed anthology.
Death Row records Anthology would be dope.

I bet hip hop would be Stones Throw, which would be one of the few labels I'd consider to buy a boxset of in that genre.

The more I've thought about it, even if the Ghostly set is cheap, I will likely save my money for a possible Stax Anthology.

More Doom would be a great thing.

Agreed. I am not sure what Doom is left that hasn't been recently released? They could do lots of cool stuff with Madlib, but Doom I can't even think of an album. Maybe one of those alternate versions of Madvillainy?

It’ll be really interesting to see what Stax albums they pick. I feel like Sundazed has put out all of the popular titles in mostly high quality. I’m intrigued though not sure I can swing another $250 or so on a box set.

Is there any Stax picks left for them - didnt they release roughly 1000 Stax vinyls last year ?

There are a bunch of people hoping it's Stax, and stating it as an almost-certainty, but there's no indication that it's happening, much less be the one VMP is trying to pull together for December. It'd be great if it happens, but what you said is the primary reason I'm betting against it - Stax (really Concord/Fantasy/Atlantic) themselves have reissued the most sought-after albums over the last few years. There are still a bunch of albums that haven't been repressed, but wondering if say, William Bell's 3rd album, is the type of thing compelling enough for an anthology. If they do it, it would have to be targeted, similar to Women of Motown, and that makes the selections even tougher.

Price looks to be $100, but maybe that's a placeholder price.
 
I'm pretty comfortable saying this is going to be less expensive than the other sets, maybe even sub200. The discount we are getting is much lower, only 10%, and Storf did say something about the price being under 250. Who knows, 100 could be the right price. Ghostly does have a 5lp bundle on their site for 85...
