Vinyl Me Please Anthology

David A. said:
those wouldn’t make it into an anthology unless they get pressed on color vinyl. Most of the Coltrane Impulse catalogue is being rereleased as part of the Acoustic Sounds releases.

Most? Not really. Only a handful of the most popular, and most palatable to the general market. The list of ones not included is extensive (and in most cases original master tapes no longer exist).

Anthology generally doesn't do colored vinyl, as it is a premier product.

Waiting for that Impulse Anthology announcement to drop, I got me some store credit burning a hole in my pocket...

I am in the same boat as my membership expires at the end of the month and I have ~$150 in Credits.
I reached out to Storf to see if I he could provide any info, and I got the following non-answer:

"Impulse: it’s happening. This year. I helped curate and produce it with feedback from Impulse team/our on staff Impulse obsessives. Bc we know it’s going to be arguably the most beloved box we do this year/next/ever? We’re making sure to get it done right. There’s no chance y’all will miss that it’s coming, so just hang tight. It’s the box I personally have been most excited for since Stax. Can’t wait till it comes."

My immediate response was, "Fingers crossed that Ptah the El Daoud is one of the picks. And I hope by “making sure to get it done right.”, you mean getting it pressed somewhere other than GZ. If that means it doesn’t come out until Q3 to get it pressed at RTI or Pallas or QRP that’s fine by me." to which I haven't heard back.

A legit copy of Ptah would be amazing, even if they couldn't do AAA (because of the masters destroyed in the fire), if a high quality digital source is the closest we get, that's better than nothing. I have a boot and it's OK but I would like a legit copy.

This is the biggest white whale for almost every vinyl collector I know.

Maybe if they found some low-gen source that isn't the original, but remastered using Plangent could work.

This part made me laugh. The previous anthologies didn’t matter.

Make sure you sell it with the wrong cover for Gordon and the flipped label version of the Shorter. That will make it more valuable.

Edit: Just looked again, and they are including both Gordon covers.

It was me. I did this. Don’t get drunk and bid on shit on eBay. I will honor this bid though…

This one isn't AAA, right?

Sigh. It just looks so nice and goddamn it, I want the Horace and Dexter albums even if they skimped on the jackets.

It'll sit well next to my Herbie and Quincy sets.
