Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Then I'm stumped. I guess the real reason for the delay will just remain one of those mysteries that no one will ever know the answer to... like why did the Titanic sink? or should you put milk in scrambled eggs?

It's just that they've grown. They need 10 sales now to press it

The Herbie Hancock Unicorn. Never did find out whether They managed to resolve the plating issue.

my favourite part of this whole thing though is the idea that when QRP couldn’t get the plates right and VMP when back to Bernie for a solution his advice was something like ‘alright la. Never mind that QRP lot. They’re shite. If you want good quality plating you need to get yourself to GZ. That’s proper premium that is’

or words to that effect

The new game is that the series announced from a Poang whilst resting on a Lisabo in the reflection of a Stockholm 2017 is available to people who can prove they’ve paid and can find the individual slabs of wax on top of the carboard turntables in their local IKEA...

I got all excited when you used the word "game" that this was going to be another example of VMP "LITERALLY changing the game."

As a true VMP disciple you are now initiated using the oil made from 1,000 melted unwanted tennis records and for all eternity you can use the word literally in place of the word figuratively with no repercussions beyond the eye rolls of a whiskey sodden man in Dublin.

And the Herbie podcast popped up on iTunes this morning (No purchase required), so I'm guessing it will be shipping soon.

I’d be a little annoyed if I bought the anthology, and it was this delayed, and then they also just threw the podcast up on itunes for anyone to listen to for free before people even have their records. They advertise it like it’s part of the product that they’re selling.

The Story of Herbie Hancock

8 albums / 11 LPs that tell the story of his legendary career — curated by Herbie Hancock and pressed by VMP.

[Looks like I can’t attach screenshots of the places on the site where it mentions the “exclusive” and “intimate” podcast series.]

I agree. I've only ever bought the Blue Note Anthology. And they released they podcasts ~1-2 months later, which I was fine with. But I've been able to listen to all the other podcasts for free. These last three (Dead, Tribe, and Herbie) I don't think there has even been a delay. Weird to have something as a selling feature and then give it away.

Maybe they are hoping it will help sell the Herbie one, which is (oddly) still not sold out. I have to say, I had some remorse on not picking up the Tribe Records one after listening to the podcast.
 
I'm going to shoot them an email and see what they say.

The package was not cheap by any means and to basically give away part of it for free, after saying it was exclusive, AND before the box is even shipped is clearly misleading. I personally see the podcast is an integral part of the set, especially seeing the line-up of participants (which includes Herbie) and they clearly used this as a marketing tool to get people to buy it. Although I was obviously in for the records themselves, I did factor in the podcast into the justification for my purchase of it.

Just to add to the above, their own site has it as 1 of 6 things that are included in the set. Seeing as it is no longer an exclusive I'm assuming they will be giving everyone 1/6th of their money back.........

Im interested to see what their reasoning is.

Edit: Just looking at my emails and they clearly show it as being individual 'drops' alongside each LP.

Interested to know what the response is as, to be honest, I’m a bit hacked off about it. Fair enough release the podcast later but at least have the decency to wait until those 7 people who paid for the box have their product and get to listen to the experience that was allegedly part of the package first.

it’s just thoughtless as usual
