Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I’d agree with Pallas, that definitely deserves to be mentioned as one of the top plants. RTI is another that I’d say has drastically fallen where quality is concerned though.

i never really noticed a huge sound quality of the pressings of pallas, tbh its pretty tolerable and neutral, QRP and RTI seem to do pretty good, and record industry is a solid 7 in the fact that when i listened to the strokes original track list vinyl it sounded kinda.. awkward

but that might be more the mastering than anything

Yeah, I’m talking more about pressing quality overall than mastering and I’d say Pallas always does a good job with flat, clean records with very little to no noise. I must say Optimal has certainly improved in the last few years as they used to be pretty bad with their QC.

I continue to be impressed by the Dead set. WD AB and LD all sounds great. My MOFI AB takes the showdown but take nothing away from the VMP press itself. It’s great. Onward...

I've been thinking about this and I think that if the 50th is the way that warners wants to go then the AB and WMD in this set, along with the 2011 Rhino's and the MOFI's could become pretty collectable in the future. I know that there is a general jizz chucking party going on around Plangent but some people will still see it as digital interference in an AAA process. So the VMP version could be the last time that it is available as just a pure analog cut.

I've all but convinced myself the box is a stone cold bargain now

Any dead fans here have digital files of these albums? Obviously mastering is different blah blah blah, I just want some mp3's to add to my phone (I don't pay for any streaming service)

I have WMD and AB in apple lossless. iTunes used to be able to convert ALAC to MP3, but I can't figure out how to do it with the new music program. I can upload the files somewhere if you like, but they're ~250 MB each so you're probably going to want to compress them before putting on your phone!

Hey the Zeppelin Road Case box from Classic Records retailed at 500ish and a box just sold for $10,000 at Acoustic Sounds. So it could happen to this box too I suppose?
 
I listened to the intro episode of the podcast and I'm sorry, but I really enjoyed it and am even more sold on this being hosted by a couple GD newbies. My barriers to entry for the dead were pretty much the same as these two and Storf especially music discovery journey is similar to mine. Ive really branched out music wise in the past 5 years and fell in love with genres and artists I never thought I would, while watching most other people hold onto the same musical tastes they had in high school. And I've slowly been listening to more Dead recently.

To those didn't listen yet, they stated flat out that the rest of this will not be them "taking you on a journey" but more "going on the journey with them". They know they aren't experts and will be speaking to those that are, but I enjoy that the questions will be asked and guided by those with little Dead experience, rather than true Deadheads. I have to imagine more of the people buying this are in that first category than the second, considering most of those will have had these albums already.

And yes, yes the cost is still super high for this type of intro set but they're clearly is a market, even if it's not close to the numbers they initially thought it would be

I didn't buy the set but I also didn't really have issue with how they chose to do the podcast. I fully understand the Storf hate but as others have said, there are SO many Dead podcasts out there that one from the perspective of people who never really got into the Dead is not a bad angle (in theory).

There does seem to be a lot of disconnect though with this being an "intro" box at way beyond premium pricing at the numbers they initially wanted to press.

I saw that! Absolutely crazy that it sold for that much. On discogs it hovers around half that price with the one exception being the 1 of 1 from the Michael Hobson collection.

I forget if this one was unopened or not, but I have a feeling that when you're getting up to spending $5000+ on something, you feel more comfortable buying it directly from AS than from some third party rando on discogs.

Damn, I am going to throw all my old LZ records in a broken rolly-bag and put up for sale for a cool 3Gs. I'm rich!!!

I almost bought some Classic Records Zeppelin last week but the prices even for the individual albums are crazy now. Generally regarded as the best pressings of all Zeppelin and that road box only had 750 I think total pressed. The thing is a BEAST. It's 48 LPs that are 200g, 45RPM and single-sided on super vinyl haha.

True but I’d be worried about the records anyway. Especially with the issues Classic Records had with 200g pressings! Although the records I have from them are generally without problems.
 
No one should be buying the boxset for the podcast. Its quality adds little to no value since we have access to all previous anthology podcasts without buying them.
