Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Agreed. I wonder if the licensing agreement for the more exclusive albums includes some sort of time frame of exclusivity for VMP though.

I'm sure all the terms were very favorable to the Dead. There's no way they gave out an unlimited period of exclusivity to VMP. Quite a few of the Anthologies have been broken out. I think all the Now-Again ones have been. The Dead will repress those albums eventually.

Hmm those codes don’t seem to work, maybe they’ve been used already or is there something more sinister at play

Probably been used. Either that or they are tied to an email address. Mine works if I enter it with my email address.
 
Does it work for non members too? I think I need a fresh one, if anyone has one they don’t want, lmk! I’m really broadening my horizons by going for a country box set, but I think it’ll be fun. I have no Willie currently so also works out well.

you do not have to be a member to use it. i'm not an active member anymore. i offered mine to @Twentytwo but if they already used one I can send you mine.
 
sure if they don’t use it. I mean, I am a member, so do we get a discount on top of the member discount? I guess I’ll see if I get a code. I tried using a couple of the ones posted but they didn’t work so I was just wondering. It could be that they were already used.

they do not stack. thats why it's not working for you. you get a member discount or if you're NOT a member and bought an anthology in the past, you'd get a coupon code for the same price as member price.

The price should be $299 + tax.

Probably not gonna be AAA reissues though. All the latest Dead reissues use plangent. Not like ten years ago when we got nice Rhino AAA reissues of their first 6-7 albums

It would be impossible for Without A Net to be AAA since the source tapes for those shows are digital.

I will say that the Plangent reissues sound really nice, so it's not too big of a deal in my opinion. I hope they re-release Reckoning soon as that's the biggest need that hasn't been reissued recently (along with WAN). The other late 70s/early 80s albums (Terrapin, Shakedown, Go To Heaven and Dead Set) aren't very good by Dead standards to be honest and I don't think they should necessarily be in a rush to get them out over other projects.

If anybody wants a cheaper Willie Box Set, this one seems pretty solid too.

Except for “Always on my Mind” (which is truly terrible), those are all solid Willie albums - better overall quality than the VMP box.

I forget. Was this like the dead where they didn't press all of them but said that the number could be high?

No the first Zamrock was limited to 1000 copies i think and sold out. Think some of the records were later available individually. I would be surprised if they repressed the Anthology but VMP has done weirder things.

I like the first set but probably don't need to do a deeper dive with another 6-8 records
