Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Depending on whether I want the 3rd compilation and choir of young believers I already have a version of this box set prepared with the ones I know I want for about 100 dollars including shipping

Also Willis and sakamoto is not even out of stock
 
Hey VMP, take a pricing note from Troyal Garth Brooks: he sold me 21 pieces of vinyl and a bunch of CD's for $100 (including shipping).
 
Okay so.... I could be nuts. I mean... I likely am either way... But I swear to god I just logged into VMP and the screen glitched as I selected a menu option and I saw a split second of a header that said "The Story Of Chess Records".

Now, I might have been seeing things because the current header is "The Story Of Ghostly" so it might have just been a mix of that but I freaking swear it said Chess Records.

So... yes. That could be upcoming and it would make sense.
Or I just made it all up in my head.

That's all I got.
Please carry on.

I trust that you saw “Chess Records”. You work in TV and you’re very trustworthy and rational!

I’m so excited now to be getting a Chess Records Anthology Box Set! 🎉😇🙏

My heart hopes yes. My wallet really hopes no. But it sounds like even if it's not Chess it'll be stax so I'll be in regardless.
 
I know this is a weird request but does anyone have the Anthology sticker that they do not want? it didn’t come with my BN set and I didn’t pick up the Motown one. im willing to pay 17 shiny nickels and a half eaten turkey sammich

VMP banner says less than 70 Ghostly spots are left. Interesting that it sold that many.

I don't know how I feel about Chess. If it's them vs. Stax, I'd rather have Stax. If it's both, that's cool.

Mmmmm same here! I’d be very happy with Chess, but I prefer Stax more! Darrell Banks and Carla Thomas vocals alone are so warm, inviting, soothing, and are just delightful to listen to!

Honestly surprised. I guess they have no reason to worry about telling people if the box is exclusive or not...
 
Apologies because I'm sure this has been discussed at length somewhere in this thread, but what is the verdict on the Motown box? Worth it or nah?

Interesting, I believe it. It's not like VMPs web team has never put things up by mistake before.

If the next Anthology was Chess Records, which seems highly possible, what albums do we think it could be? VMP has a Top Ten list: The 10 Best Chess Records Albums To Own On Vinyl which is a good starting point. Obviously the titles they've reissued for Classics and Muddy Waters Sings Folk Songs are out, but the others...

Here's my shot in the dark Top 8 based on higher end albums that haven't had recent reissues from reputable labels:

Chuck Berry - St. Louis to Liverpool
John Lee Hooker - Plays and Sings the Blues
Muddy Waters - Plays Big Bill
Etta James - Sings For Lovers
Jimmy Rogers w/ Little Walter & Muddy Waters - Chicago Bound
Little Milton - We're Gonna Make It
Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley's Beach Party
Jack McDuff - Sophisticated Funk

It’s fantastic. The design, the theme, the records themselves. All get an A+ from me. I have not listened to any of the podcasts. And I don’t think I’ve posted on the forum, but as a record box set I think it’s great if slightly expensive.
