Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I'm also in a similar boat to everyone else. I have two copies of Bitches Brew although both are kind of meh in quality, two copies of Live-Evil (one is a beat-up copy inherited by my late mother-in-law and the other is the recent RSD reissue) and a decent-sounding OG copy of On the Corner. Hard to justify.
 
Just had a look. Interesting set and makes sense to hone in on a specific period otherwise it would have to be a lot lot lot bigger set.

Price is unsurprisingly high, a few of these can be found as clean OG's for less, or even the MOFI pressings (my MOFI "In a Silent Way " is incredible regardless of the digital aspects).

I would love to hear the podcast though.

Edit: Oh and I have 3 out of the 7 so would be getting this anyway.

After shipping, exchange and likely duties the non-member price would be basically $95/album. I didn't even pay that much for my OG Canadian On The Corner!

I was on the fence, then realized I would be paying the non-member price so same I am out for now.

Just checked the shelves and realized that I have all 7 albums, so pretty stupid of me to even consider this. Damn FOMO
 
Nice tight window of Miles’ discography, but I’m in the same boat as most everyone else; I have MoFi’s of IASW, BB, JJ and OTC. Digital or not they sound fantastic, so I’ll pass. Might try and track down Live-Evil and Get Up With It, although I have those on CD already.

Interesting they went with the reissue cover for Jack Johnson rather than the original.

Edit: Funny enough I got my Mofi IASW from VMP.

I'm intrigued by the Waylon. I already have This Time, but it could be replaced as it is not in the best condition. It will really depend on what else is in it. I have quite a few of his and other than This Time, they are all in pretty good condition.
 
I kinda am excited for the miles box set, I only own one of the LP's (get up with it, a 70s or 80s pressing very likely) and I do want at least 3 of the LP's there (in a silent way, Jack Johnson, and on the corner). 350 is very steep though, at that price I could go on discogs and find the 3 I'm interested in. But also it might be a better way of knowing more of miles work seeing as there is the booklet and podcast

I mean the podcast will just be on Spotify, no? And Miles’ work is extensively documented. Nothing VMP and Storf commission is likely to turn stones that have never been turned.

Pretty much everything that wold be expected, though was hoping for a few curveballs.

That said, Miles AAA are getting pretty damn scarce now. Just wish they went with someone other than RKS for the mastering.

I think the only way they can do AAA is to use RKS. But could be wrong about that. Maybe VMP is the only place paying up for tape copies still, but KG keeps saying in interviews that he can’t get tapes from Sony/Columbia

VMP being VMP... hey we sent these to the factory we always use, pay us extra money. Given the ubiquitous nature of these releases (most of which I already own on CD), I am for one, not interested.

It’s a similar price per LP to the other anthologies right? Maybe less? 7 albums/11LPs

Seems to be about $30 for a single LP and $60 for a double at member price. With a quick discogs look, a VG+/VG+ OG Bitches Brew and IASW will set you back $180 in the US. I’m sure you could find cheaper later reissues though. And most of the other titles can be found cheaper.

The MoFis are great and quite a few are or have been back in print recently. Those are $40/60 right? I think if I didn’t have any of these albums (or only had one or two) and could afford it, the set would be a no brainer. I do think the anthologies are done well.

I’m gonna hold off on this for awhile to let some credit build up. I have all the MoFis (BB, IASW, JJ but mine has a scratch, On The Corner). Really want a good copy of Live Evil…I didn’t like the RSD one and my early pressing is pretty beat. The AAA draw is there but not sure it’s $350 GZ there for me…I will say I haven’t had many issues with the GZ anthologies in the past. Cadet gets here this week so will see how they are doing lately

Yeah, the MoFis have been in that price range. And not to short change the other three albums, but the four that have been MoFis are the essential albums of this set. I have all four and all four are spectacular, top of the line audiophile reissues that I’d be shocked if the VMP was noticeably better than.
