Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Doesn't look like it's live yet. Hope there's an additional discount for members/past Anthology purchasers because right now at $350 it comes to about $44 a record.

on the one hand, that's kinda pricy. on the gripping hand, that dorothy ashby is incredibly hard to find and the cheapest copy on 'cogs right now is 100+.

I wonder if these are getting reissued elsewhere.
 
"Lacquers for all titles except for Electric Mud — which was cut AAA by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering — were cut by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Of those cut by Grundman, all were mastered AAA with the exception of Side B of Mother Nature’s Son, which was transferred from the master tapes and cut from a digital source to amend a passage of tape degradation. All eight titles are pressed on 180g black vinyl at GZ."

Good details on sourcing

Yeah I know and I really want Afro Harping so… that store credit I’ve been hoarding for the eternally delayed Impulse set might get put to use here instead.
 
Man, this one is tempting.

Pros: Really nice mix of hard to find classic albums (Tell Mama, Afro-Harping, Occasional Rain), with some deeper cuts that I'm not as familiar with (but sound interesting on an initial stream). Nice mastering details.

Downsides: GZ pressed. Ships in May. Cost ($350 for 8 albums + $20 Shipping + Duty & Brokerage Fees x conversion to Canadian $), already have a copy of Electric Mud.

Might ask the wife to order me this for Christmas...

Thats why am hoping it goes live mid December. I can the swap Bob for credit and I will have almost $200 in credits.
