I already sent an email. Like, if you're not going to individually wrap the discs at the VERY LEAST just throw some bubble wrap around the whole mess of them. Or just jam some into the box, like ANYTHING! Stuff old Kleenex into it! Used rags! Whatever is lying around! I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE

The Europe 72 Morning Dew is the song that made me a true believer.

I wasn't super crazy about 72 until I got to the end. Truckin' -> Epilogue -> Prologue -> Morning Dew is some of the best live GD I've come across so far.

This version absolutely rules. There is a great scene in the LST doc where they discuss the performance and recording of that song and how they all knew that it had to be on the album because it was so transcendent

Same - I recall the first time I heard that one and it was absolutely stunning... totally caught me off guard and I just had to sit there with my mouth hanging open until it was over

That scene made me sad Garcia is dead and not there to give interviews about it. More so than any other scene in the series.

We went to Atlantic City for my bachelor party. Had some drinks at the casino and got in line at the cab stand to take us to a "gentleman's club." A van pulled up so we all piled in, and the driver had a bunch of CD cases, one of which was Europe 72. Being the man of honor, I exercised my rights and had the driver queue up Morning Dew. The club was only like 5 minutes away but rest assured we sat in that van in the parking lot until it was over.

If it's priced similarly to the Tribe set, I might actually spring for this. Love that Philly sound.

Yeah, like all their anthologies, depending on the albums, price and pressing location, this could be awesome.
Here's a stab in the dark at what the 8 could be:
MFSB - Love is the Message
O'Jays - Backstabber (or maybe Ships Ahoy?)
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody
Billy Paul - Going East (or maybe 360 Degrees of...?)
Teddy Pendergrass - Life is a Song Worth Singing
The Three Degrees - International
Lou Rawls - All Things in Time
Patti Labelle - I'm in Love Again
I doubt it's all these as they'll likely swap in a couple deep cut albums, but a boy can dream.

Definitely in for this. But Im an Anthology loyalist so far and have bought all of them so that probably doesnt mean much.
Regardless, can't wait. sounds awesome

I wonder if they will feature a Philly soul album in Classics before this Anthology drops to further stoke interest

Never seen a seam split on the outer side of a jacket before!

It's unbelievable. I mean... What the fuck
Seriously, mate. I opened the box and just had to laugh. It's like they are deliberately fucking with me now just for a bit of fun. It's a 500 quid set! How difficult can it be to not repeatedly send shagged stuff.
Hilarious stuff.

After two sets of replacements I only need.... 3 more replacements.
