Who would have foreseen this turn of events?
AP would be very tricky to top, its cut at sterling sound right? I imagine (hope for the love of god) that this pressing will be good though, its cut by Bernie Grundman from the original masters.Anyone think there’s any chance of the Headhunters in this Boxset being better than the 33 1/3RPM Analogue Productions pressing? What’s your call @Selaws ?
mine is 6HW9QFXVF3X5 heres a code for anyone who wants it - must be a VMP member to use according to the email. Ive got half of them, and gz pressing them is the final nail in the coffin.
It’s a discount off the anthology but looks like you need to be a member - so unlikely code will work unless VMP fucked that up.
Ok code will probably work...
I’ve got a job Dukey!Nathan really needs a job
and a spending limit
With the discount code, it ends up being only AUD$480 shipped! That’s a pretty great deal actually! I think I’m gonna get this! And I, like @wynn72 will sell my current Takin’ Off vinyl!
you flip flop more than meI’ve got a job Dukey!
And guess what!??!? Baby Monster isn’t buying the Boxset!
I just can’t get passed 1+1 and Takin’ Off being chosen in this Boxset + no Mwandishi era albums, and the fact that Headhunters is the ONLY fusion album in there - an album which the pressing I have will sound better than the pressing that will be in this Boxset!
If they chose something like Sextant, Thrust and Mwandishi instead of Head Hunters, I’d actually buy it. But I’ve already got an AP pressing of Headhunters which sounds sublime! And the BlueNote80 pressing of Takin’ Off also sounds great!
I just wanted more fusion! When I think of Herbie Hancock, I think of fusion! When I think of Herbie Hancock and his music, I primarily think of Crossings, Secrets, Man-Child, Thrust, Sunlight, Sextant, Headhunters, Mwandishi! Those are the 8 albums I think of straight away with Herbie Hancock! And only 1 of those albums are in this Boxset and that album I have an audiophile pressing of.
So it’s a from me unfortunately. A bit heartbroken because I was looking really, really forward to this Boxset!
I do! I’m usually not this indecisive at all! Like I said, price and the selections were both going to be taken into consideration, and it’s just too expensive for me, for what’s being offered for my music taste buds!you flip flop more than me
if you really want headhunters buy the AP versionI do! I’m usually not this indecisive at all! Like I said, price and the selections were both going to be taken into consideration, and it’s just too expensive for me, for what’s being offered!
I’ve got the AP pressing for Headhunters and the BlueNote80 pressing for Takin’ Off. That’s why I’m not getting this Boxset dukey. It’s not worth it in the end for me.if you really want headhunters buy the AP version
if you want takin off buy the blue note 80 version or if you are bourgeois try to buy the music matters on discogs

Probably means they are careful cause none of the las anthologies sold out and if there is demand they will press moreThe "First Edition, limited to 1500." verbiage is a bit odd.
