Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[Sparks_03]

Barry Grundman, Bernie's evil twin.

I originally put Barry Grint, and realized I messed up. Didn’t realize I had messed up twice!

 

[avecigrec]

Saving myself a lot of money by picking up Always on My Mind and Stardust NM originals for like $10 used and I already have RHS Impex. Yesterday's Wine has a Speakers Corner that is easy to get too. Stardust AP is gonna be tough to beat too if I wanted to spend big money on an upgrade.

Yeah, I don't know if I can justify the price (particularly after shipping and exchange!) to mostly just get a copy of Across The Borderline.

I'm actually kind of angry they included Stardust, to be honest, even though I'm completely unsurprised.

And yeah, Yesterday's Wine is also kind a weak selection given the Speaker's Corner version being quite getable.

I mean, they're all great albums, truly. But I'm mildly disappointed here. And wondering how long it might be before we see Across The Borderline available outside of this set.

Yea--Dead should be back. They said edition of 7,500 originally and only pressed 2500. Herbie should be back too. That one also said 1st edition. VMP said they are repressing one soon but didn't specify which.

Wonder how they can get the Dead repressed at QRP since it's basically only AP stuff now... that might have to go to GZ for the second pressing

Do they still do the $50 off coupons for members and past purchasers?

That's what gets you to the $299 price.

Yeppers

I'm gonna have to ponder some more and maybe see if I can't track one of those down.

Ah ha! Gotcha. I haven't pulled up the site yet - I'm supposed to be working

 

[avecigrec]

I am glad Snoop Dogg made it in, though! Even if Heroes wouldn't have been one of my top choices.

Quoted from the email:

The first five titles are AAA-mastered from tapes, and the final two albums are mastered from the highest quality digital masters available, with lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering

My coupon automatically applied at checkout. Although man, had to jump through some hoops to apply the credit and then finance through Shop.
This interface could be so much better.

 

[avecigrec]

and then finance through Shop

...payments every 2 weeks doing this, right?

Still waiting on Without a Net and Reckoning to be available outside of the Dead Anthology.

 

[JonnyH]

The estimated tax rate it's showing for me is close to 2x what it should actually be.

 

[TCell]

They hit the VMP Trifecta on this one:

• Listening Notes (and likely Podcast hosted) by Andrew Winistorfer
• Box (and copy editing of said box) by Clay Condor
• Pressed at GZ

Much like the Dead and Herbie box sets, if you are new to Willie this is a pretty great primer. But, if you already have a few titles it's likely not worth it. I have the Impex RHS and AP Stardust, so it's a pass for me, but this'll likely prompt me to finally hunt down the Speakers Corner of Yesterday's Wine and order the AP of And Then I Wrote (which has many of the same songs as His Own Songs).

Hope this means they do Phases and Stages as an Essential pick down the road.

 

[David A.]

...payments every 2 weeks doing this, right?

Yeah. It eases the hit but I’m only on the Essentials track at this point.

You can have mine if you want. Send me a DM.

If anybody besides TCell isn't going to use their Anthology code, I'd be down. No worries either way.

 

[Tys1]

First edition means I can get it whenever, right? Cool, I guess I don't need it then

 

[avecigrec]

You can have mine if you want. Send me a DM.

If @Twentytwo is a sure thing on it, I'd happily cede as I'm still undecided.

Very much appreciate your offer, either way!
