Same here although I've run out of room with the addition of the Herbie. Might be time for a re-shuffle/purge.

Yeah. Just fired off another email. This is the state of the album though. Marks all over it

Ya, they've gotta fix that.

I’ve tried to focus on positives across the general set but that’s not the only issue I have to be honest. It’s not grateful dead box bad but my Maiden Voyage has a small part on side A where it sounds like the album actually scrapes, my The Piano is a bit noisy (possibly due to the scratch that was on it on arrival) both my 1+1s are a train wreck and my River Lps are great but the sleeve was warped.
I think I’m done with Anthologies

I'm sorry mate, I'm not gunna lie, I stayed out of this one because after what I had to go through with the Dead box, I just couldn't deal with it again... Going forward I'm not going to even consider an Anthology that isn't QRP pressed, because although they effed up a lot of the Dead discs, I'd still put my money on them getting it right over top of most other plants...

Yeah. I’ve no faith in VMP to consistently assure quality across a number of lps. One or two maybe but I think 11 is asking too much for them.
Look out in the international PIF though. Herbie incoming

It really does seem like a crapshoot. I’m four records in and am looking at possibly two replacements needed. And I’m only halfway there.I really wanted that Herbie anthology but I'm not sure if I've seen a discussion about an anthology that didn't involve hundreds of replacement requests
I will say though, my Tribe set was perfect. Everything was flat and quiet with no noticeable defects.

My box was great except for a warped Headhunters, which is being replaced. No scratches or other issues.I really wanted that Herbie anthology but I'm not sure if I've seen a discussion about an anthology that didn't involve hundreds of replacement requests

I said this about the Dead box too but there appear to be far, far more people who are happy with their sets than those who aren’t. I’m sure you’ll be fine

Awesome that it's actually shipping on time.
First episode of the podcast was a real nice overview of the label, gives some more reasons as to why some of the albums were picked. I did feel like some of the discussion was surface level though, hope it gets deeper as the episodes get into the individual "weeks". I barely know anything about Gwar but I know the Cuddlefish of Cthulu story, and that was told, and the Amon Amarth section was just "Well this band made some good albums, and then they really made a good album!"

On the first episode of the podcast they mentioned that the German government banned the album cover of the second Cannibal Corpse album. According to them, it’s illegal to even own it.

It's illegal to preform songs on it as well. Meaning Cannibal Corpse can preform anything they want, but slip in a deep cut from this record and it's illegal business.
