Vinyl Me Please Anthology

MikeH said:
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)

My guess based on this info (and other VMP history). And a little of my own wishlist.

JC - Africa/Brass (1961)
Max Roach - It’s Time (1962)
Lorez Alexandria - Alexandria the Great (1964)
Gabor Szabo - Spellbinder (1966)
Mel Brown - Chicken Fat (1967)
Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju (1968)
Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity (1971)
Alice Coltrane - World Galaxy (1972)

I would most likely be in for that.

How do replacements work on an anthology? Five of my albums are atrocious, and makes me regret spending money on this set.

Same way as any VMP purchase, just fill out the form and they send you replacement discs

Except that they will not package them properly. A replacement disc will come in a paper sleeve and a replacement jacket will have no shrink on it. I have never received a replacement jacket that is in better shape than the original defective jacket from VMP. Sleeves on the discs have been in rough shape as well. I get that they don’t want to send people things that they don’t need like a jacket if you have a disc issue or vice versa, but they need to packages those shipments way better if that is how they are going to play it.

Apart from the fact I five of those already, that would be a pretty nice set – It's Time and Spellbinder are both on my current wantlist.

Really hoping they will include The Awakening by Ahmad Jamal, though, and I think I'd rather they do The Wizard over Chicken Fat... if only because it's the one I don't have!

Yeah, I definitely leaned a little bit towards stuff I didn't have here (I only have Africa/Brass and Black Unity on my list). The Awakening is a really good choice - I was thinking it got a nice reissue recently, but I just checked Discogs to see what it was going for...

Think there’s any chance of Mingus Plays Piano?

As much as I would love an Impulse! box set, if is primarily albums I already have, I may just put the cost of the box toward clean originals or Japanese pressings of the things I’m missing.

I might go this way too but just depends on which ones I'm missing and what the price is. I'm missing a lot of Impulse pressings so if at least half are ones i like and don't have, I may just sell the older pressings I have.
