Well, solves that problem

There is a shot of the LPs…

 

[MikeH]

If it is Vanguard, I hope they don't do Buffy Sainte-Marie's It's My Way! I would hate for an album that essential, and topical, to get buried in an over priced box set. I would much rather see that get a stand alone release from Craft.

Sorry

Skip James Today is fantastic but GZ so nopeitty nope nope

 

[oldjollymon]

Shit, at 40 bucks per LP (at members' price!) I'm wonderin--Who gonna buy dis? I love the Doc & Skip (& am ok w/ Buffy & Odetta), but gotta think there be a shit-ton of better things to spend $240 on...

 

[jfitzy]

Really cool set. But, roughly $40 per GZ pressed LP. I overspent on the Herbie set since I’m a diehard fan and it was my birthday.

I don’t have the same excuses this time, so I’m really not sure if it’s worth it. Probably not.

 

[Mather]

The Pure Pleasure pressing of that Skip James is absolutely incredible. KPG @ Acoustech. Up until recently it was around, but looking at cogs it seems to have jumped up.

We can still hope for both

Folk from vanguard could be a potentially interesting anthology.
But I said this a couple of times before about announced anthologies until the price tag killed my interest

So this, a good selection but 55$ per disc is definitely ust too much for me

 

[duke86fan]

40 bucks per LP. 49 if you are not a member

For Gz pressings, some liner notes, and the fact it was using the original mono tapes

At the 40 dollar price they could have gotten RTI and had the definitive versions

 

[duke86fan]

Also if they picked Gz for the color

RTI.. they have done many pressings with VMP with similar color schemes (the real definition of "audiophile" colored vinyl), and they are able to keep the prices fairly cheap for high end press.

I know QRP aren't great with colored vinyl because they don't want unique mixes but Pallas also could have worked and they are very consistent and have done songs for the deaf in the same scheme


Also now I wish that metal blade was done by Chris bellman and pressed at pallas

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Like the concept and selections, but that pricing for 6 GZ records, yikes. Also think regular black vinyl would have been more appropriate.

 

[bdm105]

I will freely admit when it comes to these I have more dollars than sense

 

[mitchwagz]

It feels kind of weird having these on color vinyl. I probably wouldn’t have bought it anyway but like others have said, black vinyl pressed at RTI or QRP would’ve been a better fit imo. Great music but it’s a pass.

 

[MikeH]

If a nonmember wants a previous anthology code to knock $50 off gimme a shout

when they do a color version I kinda assume a black vinyl version will eventually come too.

I need more Odetta, but I'm not going for this. Call me strange but I want a box set to be cheaper than buying the records individually. I don't want all of these albums. Having said that, that's why I keep missing out on Anthologies & regretting it.

Wasn't the Herbie set, $40 a record & pressed at GZ? Isn't that par fr the courses with these anthologies?

I don't think VMP has ever given a "discount" for a box set and it's been the criticism mostly pricing-wise. Wasn't this pretty much the same price as the Blue Note Anthology (Except there it was 6 albums but 7 LPs?). I honestly can't remember the price on that one.
