Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I’m betting it’s the source material since I haven’t had any other issues on other records. Sounded like someone had a finger on the platter and was deliberately messing with the speed.

Mine should arrive soon if there is an issue I’ll check back.

Didn't get a chance to see this live but watched back and really enjoyed it!

I'm not sure if they always do these things but other than the technical issues (which with the way the world is going now I'm getting used to!) it was really interesting and informative. I also appreciate the guy from VMP just acted as a moderator and let the people who have actual knowledge about the music do all the talking!

I caught most of it. I agree that it’s fascinating to hear about what goes into finding and repressing these forgotten classics.

One question: I assumed since this was a four part/chapter thing that yesterday would’ve focused on chapter one (WITCH and AMANAZ), but they talked about WITCH and Ngozi - 45,000 Volts. Did they mention what the format of this would be?

It’s my first Anthology, so maybe the live conversations just aren’t that scripted/structured? I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, I assume that follows the chapters?

The discussed Amanaz a little.

The live conversations have never been as structured, but are usually on the first set of albums, but this is the first set they've released what all the albums are ahead of time. Its always been freewheeling. The podcast is def more structured.

I may have purchased the "Live/Dead" vinyl on amazon for $31.06 - but can't really tell anything from the listing about which release it is. It should be delivered by Sunday, though, so I'll let people know (if we don't figure it out before then).

This was just delivered and it’s the 2003 Rhino US EU pressing - 180g 2LP gatefold.

Just checked and the price has dropped a whole $0.07 to $30.99!

EDIT: When I scanned in the barcode on the Discogs app, it pulled up the US pressing, but, upon closer inspection, both the gatefold cover and the disc labels indicate that it was "Made in the EU." However, the runout IDs listed on the discogs entry for the US pressing are closer (than what's listed for the EU pressing discogs entry) to what I'm seeing on the copy I have. Regardless, I'm spinning it now - it sounds fine, and I'm very satisfied with this purchase and price point.

EDIT, AGAIN: Looks like the US Pressing has the colorful "WB" logo on the labels, while the EU pressing does not, and neither does mine, so mine must be the EU pressing, despite what's showing in the runout groove.

I was just browsing the amazon listings for Grateful Dead vinyl and saw that "Wake of the Flood" is available for $31.97, but then in the small print just below, it says: "$20.99 shipping."

HOW?

The seller is listed as a "DVDMAX-US", but based on their listed customer service number, it looks like they're actually based in Poland?
 
So here's a shot in the dark: does anybody have a spare replacement cover of Dexter Calling from the Blue Note set?

I just got a copy of the record by itself but it includes the original cover. I did reach out to VMP just to see if they had any spares lying in a box or something but they said they didn't. So if you somehow found yourself with two, or maybe one came damaged and you had to get a second replacement cover, let me know if you're interested in selling!

I only have the original cover that's scanned from the CD sadly. I don't believe they sent duplicate replacements to anybody.

They did indeed do replacement covers that I thought were sent to everyone who ordered a set.

Yes, but only one replacement cover per person. I got the replacement cover and have the old one but don't think anybody got multiple replacement covers unless someone got a replacement with damage and got sent another replacement.

Like I said, it was a shot in the dark. Or if someone was accidentally sent two or anything like that.

Finished the Zamrock box last night and I am thrilled to have it in my collection. Great pressings and some seriously cool music and history.

Never heard Amanaz before this box, but I will for sure be spinning that one the most.

Because I’m a ‘by the book’ kind of guy, I just listened to chapter 2 this week. Totally agree, I love all of the records so far. I’m really happy I splurged on this.
