Vinyl Me Please Anthology

also the miles davis podcast is not worth listening to.. there is basically no history and analysis and deep dive.. basically storf said "fuck it" and let the entire podcast be about making the box and what it was like working on it instead of analysis of the music.. they explained that it being AAA was why it was so expensive and how clay came up with the box but thats about it... also when he does the clue at the end he does an AAVE "man" in a way that is very cringe

Link is here:


I haven’t listened to it all yet. I don’t think every podcast needs to be an analysis of the music. There’s plenty of other historical reading about Miles. First episode features interviews with Miles’ nephew.

good point.. maybe i was disappointed because the idea of them explaining this music that as I mentioned in jazz confounds me (I still haven't listened to big fun or live evil, and bitches brew was confusing to me) was part of what would have drove me to buy it... also the nephew interview is pretty nice.. besides the fact that its storf in one ear and the nephew on the other one which is a pet peeve of mine

It sucks that they won't let you use store credit with the coupon code. That would have made this easier to swallow.

i could be wrong, but i believe you can buy it and have them retroactively apply store credit before it ships...might be worth an email to CS before purchasing. Not sure if they realize GD is on sale with the code, so might be worth phrasing the email "I want to use the code + store credit--is there a way to do that?"

that way you won't be like the dude on discord who tagged Storf and Paulie and asked them if Miles shipping meant the 20% off code would work with the Miles Anthology hah

Yeah, I already thought that it might be in my favor to keep my mouth shut. Plus I kind of want to get those other Sly albums so can just save my credit for that. I was about to buy a copy of Terrapin and between that and canceling my pre-order for Without a Net that was another $150 off, so it seemed a reasonable price to get AAAs of the rest.

Multiple people called that guy out on discord for being a dang dingus
 
The eagle has landed. Excited to dive into all of these this week. Boxset turned out really well and its a nice presentation. The artwork on all the albums look sharp in nice thick card stock. Going to have fun A > B comparing to existing copies to see how the new mastering sounds.

I’m so tempted by this one…

I initially didn't bite either. I only have the Blue Note and Zamrock boxes. I regretted not initially picking up the Grateful Dead the first time around. Cost of entry always seems so steep on these things. Family got me some gift cards for my birthday back in summer and that pushed me over the edge.

Now that its here, zero regrets. This one will get lots of spins.

I’m hoping it hits a discount at some point! But if not I might keep an eye on stock and buy it with some credit
