Yup that is what I think as well. Just saw the email - A VMP Anthology so nice, we pressed it twice

I feel this and at the same time have learned that with VMP words like "limited", "classic", and "essential" are just words without meaning

Just like "grammar", "editing", "proofreading" and "efficiency."

Nothing surprising about this. They've gone against their word for years, with the one year I was a member included ('19).

If it makes you feel any better I'm going to assume this is going to have the new pricing and be pressed at gz, so you've still got a "premium" version

The 1st press was GZ as well. They did a good job (both VMP and GZ) I think

Strawberry Rain has been reissuing some dope Zamrock titles on their own if you want to spend some coin…
A bunch have already sold out though

Just wait until VMP represses the Blue Note box 
So what? If there is demand, why deny others the opportunity to enjoy the music without having to resort to flippers?

I'm on this tip, for sure. Hell they should press a million of them and then have to have a huge sale where they discount all the anthologies at buy-1-get-2-free.
But I understand the frustration where you think you're buying one thing -- and paying a premium for it -- and then later it's not so premium and you just got fleeced paying higher prices because they straight up lied about it.

Because some people treat collecting as an investment rather than just listening to the music, so when a company says something is "limited" those people view it as something that can possibly appreciate in value, only to find out that it's not so limited after all.
I'm not saying it's a good approach to vinyl collecting, but I can definitely see why saying something is "limited" when that's just not the case is pretty shitty for some.

Because part of the original sales pitch is that it's limited. I buy something out of /750 (which I think the zamrock box is) then I am expecting it to stay out of 750. I also expect that part of the price premium on it accounts for the fact that they can only sell it once. Mondo isn't re-releasing their Olly Moss star wars poster even though a full set sells for $10,000 because they were limited. Same with anything else that is advertised as such

False scarcity is definitely bullshit.
But so is false advertising.
I'd rather they print the shit out of anything that has a demand, but I can also understand someone being frustrated when they are sold something "exclusive that suddenly isn't.
