Could be wrong, but seems like this might just be a moderated thing since they are asking for questions up front...

To be honest, that is probably the most professional thing to to. I just would not call it an ama . If you moderate such a thing and presort questions you probably get the most mileage out of this. You also dont wanna have certain people referring don was to their own youtube channel every two minutes.

I had a seam split on Horace and was informed a replacement sleeve would be on its in the next week or two and would not be numbered.

Though my original wasn’t numbered either so I wonder if that means I’m getting a new box two or all the sleeves, or a full replacement?

My box was damaged. Just got an email saying they’re sending a replacement, but it won’t be numbered. Bummed about that. I told them what number I had. Just bust out the sharpie again.

I've a Simon and Garfunkel box set which is foil stamped with the number on the box, not the individual records. Numbering the individual albums is probably overkill. I'd think that because the box is now numbered, the individual albums won't be...which fits with their comment that the replacement album isn't numbered.
 
These emails are pretty funny. More on dexter Gordon and Horace silver, and then an old article that mentioned neither followed by some albums, some of which neither was leader on and then some info on the upcoming podcast. Was hoping maybe some new write up on these albums or something.

the facebook group is just people posting their Blue Note scores and I already get way more interesting information and posts on this free forum which is vastly superior. I think they really blew it on that front too. Would have been cool to have AMAs with anybody remotely involved in jazz history, articles about different jazz eras, videos, etc.

A few members have started some interesting discussions in the Facebook group between the pictures that probably would be more at home on Instagram or something like VJ. But it has been very lacking on VMP's part. Apart from the podcast it really doesn't feel like they planned anything and just hoped the members would keep it going. I used to run FB pages and for something like this I feel like we would have needed posts ready days, if not weeks, in advance. Just post interesting facts about the records, give some info about the other musicians playing each record, talk about what Blue Note was releasing in the same era, dig up some old live performance, anything...
