Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[MikeH]

You consider Music on Vinyl grey market? You could swap it for Soul Men or Double Dynamite then, I was just trying to match up with the VMP Anthology.

Booker T is a Waxtime for $15 and some of the others are very hit and miss pressings. I get that the VMP box is expensive and it's possible to curate your own at a similar price point for more records from the same label, but at the same time, the QRP pressings + quality will be pretty stand out compared to some of these other pressings. The titles also do matter...I'd be curious to see which ones they have and then try to make your own box set with that (again, I do think it's very possible to do so).

I would love a code too if people are giving them away...

Any individual Otis albums you'd recommend instead of the full box?

I got the Stones boxset from the recent SOV sale with all their albums from Sticky Fingers upwards. £150. I got that Otis box for £60. I could throw in the Garth Brooks box too and still wouldn’t be at the Anthology price point.

Had a moment of weakness and decided to order this...after trying 3 times and getting errors at the last step every time, I figured the universe was trying to tell me something and decided to just save the money instead

I mean...those are great deals but hardly the list price on any of them. If these box sets don't sell out, maybe we'll see them on Bespoke Post again!

This is an awesome Stax album and you could probably find the recent reissue for $10.

You are right. Great title track

Just realized this whole project is just a loot box. Damn.

You are also right. Cue Red Letter Media’s Geek Squad to unbox

True. My point is, wait and spend money as wisely as possible. Rather than jumping into a FOMO commitment.

I mean people should definitely grab that Otis box. I'm very tempted to myself but already have a few of the albums in it as OG pressings that are in good shape.

I can't remember who was saying they missed the community aspect but I saw they're bringing back a Facebook community option. I know, I know, boo it's Facebook.

Gain access to exclusive content, bonus podcast episodes, and private Facebook community.

Ghostly has no community so I'm pleasantly surprised they're bringing it back.

 

[MikeH]

Says you. I for one like paying a premium for access to a Facebook forum where people post the latest soul record they bought.

(this post is sarcasm)

The Blue Note group even had one dude who kept posting cropped out CD covers pretending they were vinyl hah.

Did you splurge for this one?

I am proud and ashamed to say that I did.

OMG, I thought the Anthology went on sale on Thursday.......I’ve only got AUD$7 in my account and can’t even afford Afterpay at the moment

Does anyone know if they are only releasing a particular amount for the presale, and then the rest during the general sale (which starts this Thursday at 5PM EST).

In fairness to that one, it did start out really good with a nice dive into the different genres of jazz that the box set covered like hard bop, post bop, etc. Then it turned into show me your records.

His shit was hilarious. He actually shot them in such a way that he tried to make the covers look larger than cd sized. Good times

I did not (yet) even though I love Stax. I'm unsure of which records are in this one and that would be a bit of a deal breaker for me as I already own quite a few Stax originals. Blue Note was the only one I have purchased so far and while the experience was awful, the albums are great quality and I listen to them frequently. So I'm not mad I signed up for it as some others were but I went into it because of the selection of albums.

 

[NathanRicaud]

Yeah, I can't really fault voldemort for not having women in the Ghostly or Stax box sets

That being said, it would be nice to see voldemort supporting labels that support and actively advance women.

I’m pissing myself so much with how you refer to VMP as Voldermort! It’s so classy and casual and legit

It’s actually everything!

 

[heavysoulbrutha]

Ordered. Forgot about the installment thing. I definitely needed that option this time.

Reading that some folks aren’t into it. But, I think it looks super cool. Hope they stay out of my musical wheelhouse for the next few. $800 down with the three I got. Need a break.

I can't justify this expenditure for myself at this time of year. Besides, I have a Harry Potter World trip to save up for next Fall.

You can finance a couple of interactive wands and a lot of butter beer with that $250 you saved.

I mean, if your bank account is empty, maybe records shouldn't be at the top of the list?
