Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[NathanRicaud]

I can’t explain how incredible it felt listening to Billy Paul’s “Me and Mrs. Jones”! Listening to Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes’ “Don’t Leave Me This Way” afterwards, filled me with joy!

I just cannot wait for the The Story of Philadelphia Anthology!!! I’m so hyped!

Has anyone compared the new BN release of Maiden Voyage with the version that came in the Herbie box?

I will say that I compared the Herbie Box Maiden Voyage with my Music Matters SRX and it hold up pretty well. The SRX is better but not by a ton.

I have an OG Maiden Voyage and the Anthology does hold up well to that as well. The OG mono is better in my opinion, but its not a million miles off.

Although there were some issues with some of the copies that were sent out (including some that I had), once you got a complete set without any pops/warps it really is a fantastic set of really well-pressed records that sound superb.

Agreed, I love my Herbie set, even though it took several replacements to get it right.

So Revolver/BKvegan is now selling the Metal Blade Anthology piece by piece. This tells me three things.
1. This must have sold pretty bady to warrant them breaking the set and selling them individually.
2. Fun discogs arguments are ahead over whether these should have individual releases, and most importantly..
3. WTF THIS IS A HUGE MIDDLE FINGER TO ANTHOLOGY BUYERS.
I bought this set for 3 albums I really wanted (and another I've grown to love) and paid $300 plus shipping, and now they're selling them individually for $30 each. What the hell man

Oh man. Yeah that makes me feel real bad. What a slap in the face.

I will be a optimist for just this one tiny moment and say that it's POSSIBLE these are simply the overrun from the boxes, the discs meant to be used for replacements, that are being sold individually. Doesn't necessarily make it a whole lot better but, it would be like... a little better... I think...

maybe...

Even if that were the case, I’d still feel like a fool for buying this. I should probably just avoid pricey box sets in general because I keep getting burned by them.

I definitely feel that way

When is the Vanguard Anthology set to ship? I didn't order it, but the podcast for it just popped up in my Podcast app. Listening to the first couple minutes and it sounds like it's hosted by Storf.

should i take the L for metal blade

If you bought it and enjoy it, then no. It does suck that BKVegan is selling the loosies though

 

[NewsFedora]

Gotta be Quincy Jones. I am interested to see how this one shapes up to be!

 

[Selaws]

Any ideas?

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I agree has to be Quincy Jones

Edit: Have to say if it is Quincy, then that will make 3 Anthologies in a row that are pretty meh to me and definitely not warranting the high prices they want.

 

[Holdsworthian]

It's Q. Anyone need a copy of Smackwater Jack?

Gotta be. The email says “get ready for the dude…”

yes, actually. not sure why i've had such bad luck rounding up a copy that's not trashed.

i'd be interested, but if "the dude" is in this i may pass. i hate it when people say this sorta thing, but: that is an album one can get at almost any record store at any time for dollar bin prices. hell, MOST of his mid-60s, 70s, and 80s albums are dirt cheap. that's why i have six copies of "you've got it bad girl". but maybe if they include a door-sized replica of the poster from that one i'll change my mind.
