I'll send a full size filing cabinet full of handwritten notes scrawled on thick stock paper and make the whole thing C.O.D.

They had to hold back half the original run on this box set for Mather's replacements.

Maybe dumb question but it's been so long I can't remember... where does it ship from?

Oh shit, I think mine is on its way then. No notice, but yeah informed delivery
edit: oh never mind I guess it’s not it. I thought I saw that but it’s changed or something? I’m confused
edit edit: oh never mind again... it IS on its way.

Mine originated in NJ. Who knows I guess.
Jersey City is the local Distro center in the tristate so that may show up as the first line, since media mail isnt always scanned upon departure.
Dont be surprised if it just suddenly hits your local center. Mine didnt scan upon leaving. Just Preshipment to suddenly at my local center, then at my PO and out for delivery

Someone on Hoffman said they had a number in the high 2300's. I know they haven't done this but I've decided to believe that VMP have shipped these in numerical order and they have nearly sold out of them.
And it made me feel much better!
Sitting here listening to my perfect pressing of the RSD Buffalo set waiting on my VMP Anthology. The Buffalo sets sounds amazing, absolute flat, quiet, perfect pressing. Based upon some of the online feedback I am seeing I am getting a little concerned about what things will be like once I get my Anthology opened, cleaned and on the table...

What have you seen?
It might be the same few people cross posting, but comments on FB, SHF and reddit.
I’m just hyper sensitive to warped and/or noisy vinyl and that seems to be the issues reported.
However, Buffalo sounds great and is a nice distraction. My AB50th swirl from Dead.net should also be here any day now.

Damn, not ideal. I'm spinning AB and WMD tonight. See how those are. I looked through Reddit and Hoffman earlier but couldn't find any comments.

just got mine in and it looks amazing. Huge set, nice booklet, everything looks to be in good condition (so far). This is very likely the last thing I will have bought from VMP. It’s a nice final thing.
One nitpick is about the extra content, namely the podcast. Why the hell are the two hosts two people who essentially don’t know much about the Dead? One only listened to the studio stuff and the other has never listened to them? Such a weird choice of hosts, and honestly makes me think no one at VMP knows anything about the Dead, they just thought ‘hey this’ll be a top seller.’ Oh well, it’s minor but a little...dumb.

There are so many good Dead podcasts out there that they really should have switched their format up a bit.

This is my worry for the Herbie Hancock podcasts. They could easily be the best thing for me and could be done really well (I LOVE learning about musicians, albums, and the era they recorded in) BUT if its a similar situation to what you are describing it could also be average. Only time will tell....
