Vinyl Me Please Anthology

So buy now Edition 2 pressed at GZ or wait for possible Edition 3 maybe pressed next year or so at new pressing plant. 🤔
 
Question about sound quality - for those that have the Zamrock 1st edition, is the quality on Spotify about what we can expect from the vinyl editions? The first album by Witch sounds like a very rough needle drop.

They are definitely NOT audiophile. A product of their time. I don't remember the pressings to be noisy or done from a needledrop though.

From what i recall from the Q and A they are needle drops from the best quality version they could find. They pieced them together from different copies in some cases, I think overall they did a great job but it's not anything close to anything audiophile but far from that horrible rip of Witch that's on Spotify!! I had a couple of other Zamrock records so knew what I was getting, it's a little muddy but I have no complaints..

I’m all for them repressing this so more people can get it. Like others, I wish they would just say 1st edition limited to xxxx and make it different somehow. I’m glad the my have started doing this from now on (seems the last few all said “first edition limited to….”

I don’t know if they originally phrased it like that for Zamrock but they definitely did it with some other older anthologies including Herbie and The Grateful Dead and have been doing it ever since. In fact I seem to recall some cheeky comments at the idea of a second GD pressing given it seemed to take forever to sell out of the first pressing.

I’m in the “if they change up the packaging or make it noticeably different in some way I’m fine with it” camp. In fact I kind of hope they do a Blue Note second edition, that pitch black box the records came in is fug and deserves a nicer presentation.

They didn’t say it would be repressed. In fact Now-Again sold a bunch of copies for $400 and said they were the last copies available and pretty sure they said it would not be repressed.

Herbie, Dead, and later ones all said “first edition”.
