Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Listened to the podcast. Next 2 anthologies are

1) indie Latin label formed by an excile from the most famous Latin label of all time. Person who went on their owns records became crate digger classics

2) you'll need to buy some laughs to get this one.
 
No they said in the last episode that the supply chain delays have pushed it to 2023 because they want it to be done right.
Also means "we know GZ will mess this up and you will roast us alive.

Wonder if this might be the first big release from their new pressing plant?
 
Yeah, like the Herbie Anthology, I could definitely see quibbling with the 8 albums selected. Or already having 2 of them - especially whatever the Coltrane album is. I mean, I don't see how you tell the "Story of Impulse!" without A Love Supreme.

When I asked Storf in January he said it was definitely coming this year, and they wanted to make it perfect as they know it's going to be beloved. Grain of salt obviously, but I do think they know this is the anthology that will be the most nitpicked by Audiophiles, Hoffman Forums, N&Gers, etc.

I mean the blue note anthology didn’t have any a-list flagship titles so who knows , I’m kinda expecting something similar with 7 or 8 titles spanning from the early 60s to the present (Sons of Kemet)
 
I'm 2 in and so far so good pressing wise. But 1 for 2 on flat discs
Country Willie sounds great all the way through and might be the quietest vinyl I've ever heard and flat as a pancake. Such simple arrangements that really shine and would be ruined by a noisy record. Started to listen to Yesterday’s Wine and good, so far. Pretty flat, no warping of any note. If this is this what GZ can do when they the put their mind to it, it just makes me more disappointed for some of the duds. Here's hoping it keeps up like this through the rest.
 
Storf said in the podcast it will have both a John and Alice Coltrane album

Yeah I think everyone knew Coltrane was a lock, Alice is exciting but will probably be a digitally archived file source. They can do Coltrane and still not be a-list like ALS. Could be one of his not quite as popular impulse titles (which i really hope it is). Hoping for Africa Brass, Ascension, s/t, or something like that
 
Listened to the podcast for the impulse info:

*8 albums

*possibly pressed at new VMP plant, if not there are a small handful of plants they want to use and are still sorting out which one to use

*submitted the artwork over a year ago for printing

*early 2023 at the earliest

*Storf thinks it’s the perfect mix of stuff people want that hasn’t been reissued and deep cuts that “I don’t think any other company on earth would put in the middle of an impulse box set” lol

*one of the first LPs from the label to the early 70s

*john Coltrane record in it and Alice Coltrane record in it. The set is book-ended by the two (John Coltrane first, Alice last)
 
If the Alice is last and they do it chronologically sounds like that means no Sons of Kemet. Oh well

Unless they do Kirtan:Turiya Sings
