I challenge you not to buy this, suspect you will change mind approximately 16 times before purchasing ( in around 3 hrs time)

Nah. I’m definitely not buying this! If I was ‘extremely’ rich, I’d buy this without question, especially as it has Future Shock & Maiden Voyage! I love those two albums! But...even The Piano isn’t a favourite of mine! I’m listening to Herbie Hancock’s “No Means Yes” and it makes me really wish we got Sunlight in the Boxset/just more fusion Herbie! I don’t even really care for the album The Piano unfortunately...🤐
 
Has anyone here got the Man-Child Speakers Corner pressing? I was gonna buy it but thought I’d wait for this Boxset to drop!

Can anyone confirm that the Speakers Corner pressing for Man-Child sounds great?

This is excellent Skalap! 👏👏👏

I’ve got all of these pressings (just not the Maiden Voyage and Empryean Isles ones). I’ve also got the Speakers Corner Man-Child pressing! The BlueNote75 pressing of Empryean Isles and Maiden Voyage I had were both absolute garbage - like they legit went in the bin! 😂🗑👎

I’m hoping for the Herbie Hancock Anthology Boxset, that we get Thrust, Empryean Isles, Maiden Voyage, Crossings, Secrets, Sextant, Future Shock! 🤞🤞🤞

I love Herbie Hancock so much! ♥🥰♥

I do not own a single Herbie Hancock album, and I'm appreciating the emphasis placed on his friendship/partnership with Wayne Shorter in this box, and the price is high but not tooooooo high(?), so I bit. Because it is VMP, if I change my mind and cancel before it ships I won't even feel bad, so let the games begin!

I honestly thought I had Man-Child for a second because I ordered it from a place but it’s still on back-order with Lou Reed’s Transformer! I had Bill Withers and others arrive but not that one ages ago but never those two! I realised recently that I don’t actually have Man-Child! 😅🙈

I’m thinking of getting it just from Amazon and cancelling the order from Grooveworks as it’s been a long time that it’s been on backorder for!

the only albums i'd want are headhunters (45RPM AP here i come), and maiden voyage (its impossible to get a high quality copy of that if just because MM has that license)

I wonder if this proves it wrong that MM is holding up the license. Or maybe since it is part of a box set it doesn't apply.

That one seems like the only big get. This seems to be another sign of cutting costs, pressing black at GZ has no other explanation. Yet, they charge higher by average price than single AP pressing. I don't understand why they continue to think pricing themselves above AP and MoFi with lower quality is a good strategy.

now how do we get maiden voyage for NOT music matters prices

Vintage reissues I guess. That's one I slightly regret not grabbing from MM, but I picked Empyrean Isles instead as I prefer it.

I'm hopeful it gets another quality reissue sooner than later, but it could be a few years. And if there are problems with the tape, as someone mentioned, maybe vintage is the way to go.

But it’s cheaper than AP and MOFI!

AP, it’s USD$55 for a 2LP! There’s three 2xLP in the Boxset and the Boxset is $289!
 
Wait, do you get $60 off for being a member AND $60 off with the code for buying an earlier anthology?
