Yup! It was first listed on 30Dec
Same place as Motown and Ghostly. Motown was great and Ghostly took weeks to move 500 boxes. So lets see what happens this time. Mine is still at label created.

I thought that was it when I checked the other day but it only says the origin point is New Jersey now.

Did you get a shipping notification?

Nope, just says “arrived at facility” on USPS Informed Delivery

Yep, but then VMP decided to shoot itself in the foot so I assume that's not happening.
Sigh. Storfer said Anthology has a completely separate e-commerce infrastructure and is supposedly immune to the migration mess but .....

That’s disappointing!

Just add it to the list of things VMP promised with these anthologies and then either underdelivered or completely ignored.

Mine is also em route. Hoping the letter and further podcasts are still happening.
UPDATE: they are shipping it now. Managed to talk to VMP, mine is in the second batch and has just shipped. So looks like it will be okay after all

I've been heavily ramping up on old Stax-ish soul records. Atlantic had a TON of great talent on their soul roster. I've been binging on Rufus Thomas and Wilson Pickett lately. Also looking into picking up more Bar-Kays, Mar-Keys and Booker Ts. Anyone else have a soul recommendation?
Sidebar mention for Run Out Groove's current record by Barbara Lynn. I've never heard her and was immediately impressed by the samples I heard on YouTube. I've never ordered from ROG directly before, but have one of their LPs (Sonny Stitt) and like the way they do things. They press by the amount of pre-orders they receive. It's kind of funny to look at one of their older releases and see that they have 1395 (Stitt) or 898 for Lou Johnson's Sweet Southern Soul (CHECK THAT LP OUT!).

I dunno if you can say it's Stax-ish, but I think Johnny Adams is too slept on. Heart & Soul is an excellent comp.

Not sure if it really counts as 'soul' but Cher's cover of Walk On Guilded.. from the album she recorded with Muscle Shoals definitely is worth tracking down.

Funny, that Cher album was one of the ROG titles. 4115 copies.

Forgive my complete ignorance but I have no idea what that means.
