Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Is that a quote from Storf?

UMe includes Blue Note, Mercury, and Verve.
Sony includes Columbia / Legacy,

No Warner Brothers would exclude Fat Albert, Mwandishi, and Crossings.

Speakers Corner did a great reissue for Crossings, but I’d really hope Mwandishi could be a possibility! I love that album! I’d be also happy with Crossings being in the Boxset too! 🤗

Because Herbie Hancock is strongly involved in this Boxset (Hooray! 🙌), let’s hope that he is able to really choose whatever album he wants in the Boxset, regardless on which label it was released on! 🤞

I would honestly be happy with Head Hunters being in the Boxset even though I’ve got the AP pressing, because that album is just 🏆!

I just hope VMP don’t put any of the Tone Poet releases in the Boxset, as that would be disappointing! Would be disappointing if even any of the BlueNote80 releases were in the Boxset too!
 
At 8 albums, I imagine this is at least $400. I have a decent amount of his top tier albums, so this is gonna have to be pretty spectacular for me to buy in. Honestly the Dead box was a bit of a letdown in terms of the availability of the albums included in quality pressings, hopefully this isn’t the same.

Yeah, I’ve got a feeling this Boxset is going to be expensive too! Really hoping I’m blown away by the picks and that the pressing details in general are top notch!

If what the press release says was true, then I don't see us getting Crossings or Mwandishi or Fat Albert as @TCell said. Just because Herbie is involved doesn't mean he can get any album he wants from any label he was on. He did enough good albums for BN & Columbia to make the cut. If the price is high, I really hope though that this doesn't include albums that have easily available audiophile quality albums. I would want more stuff than just reissues that have been on Speakers Corner or Pure Pleasure or AP because last I checked, a bunch of those are still easily found for around $30-$35. Anything from MM would be great though because most of those MM reissues are crazy expensive now. I think Crossings, Flood and Man-Child already have audiophile releases in the last few years. I'm just very curious to see where this is priced at.
 
Well...
Motown was $345 for 8 albums / 9 LPs.
GD is $449 for 8 albums / 14 LPs

Let’s say it’s 8 albums / 10 LPs, so $400 with a discount for previous subscribers seems likely considering they just increased prices for their RotMs. I’d be pleasantly surprised if it’s less, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, apparently the Speakers Corner reissue for Man-Child sounds really good! I was going to purchase it, but didn’t, just in case that album ends up being in the Anthology! Crossings of course got reissued by Speakers Corner and sounds amazing!

I’m also curious to see where this will be priced at! I’m also with you, in that I wouldn’t want albums that already have audiophile reissues to be in this Anthology Boxset!

Maiden Voyage and Empryean Isles both need to be in this Anthology Boxset! I want them to be in there so badly! 😩😩😩

Fat Albert is an unfortunate artistic casualty of Cosby being a despicable human.

I understand why all the things he did that helped enable his actions are cancelled, but as a white kid growing up in the Canadian suburbs, that show actually taught me quite a few life lessons about things I hadn’t considered. It’s a shame he was such a scumbag.

This is where I stand as well. I have a fair few first pressings which I cant see myself wanting to replace (it would certainly be tricky to upgrade them from an audio perspective). Even if I already have 1 album in the set, the 'increased' price of the others as a result would be a bitter pill to swallow.
 
I just wanna see the Herbie Hancock Boxset already! Very happy to know what VMP will be putting up the Boxset for sale within the next 7 days!!! 👀⏳🎁

I hope VMP reveal all the Herbie Hancock albums included in the Boxset! I’m sure they will because of the feedback they got from the public, but still...you never know with VMP! ⚖️⚠️

Is the announcement of the boxset the thing that they are set to announce before the end of summer?:unsure:🌴🌧

Or is there an idea that it is something else? 🧨📌

I remember someone dropped a Twitter link where VMP said that summer ended in 8 days and something people had been waiting for would be announced....or is there a popular theory I'm not tracking?:alien:
