Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I'm not terribly familiar with the story, but isn't that kinda how they picked that Experience Unlimited record?

Lots of labels do that though...Now-Again does it often--cool record that needs a reissue but is also really expensive to find on discogs. Lloyd Miller Oriental Jazz was pretty much that.

From what I recall, someone on the old VMP forums said that the Experience Unlimited record was amazing and needed a repress and Cam (?) acknowledged it but then in an interview said he found it by just browsing through discogs late one night. Someone might remember the story more clearly than me though...

Yeah this came up in the "we're pausing the forum" death thread. I'm pretty sure it was Cam too, but I can't remember who the forum member was. They linked to proof and it was pretty black and white what happened.

Yea...you know...as you do on a Saturday night. Just scrolling through the ol' discogs!

Well, I do believe that if you work for VMP you would probably do that, but in this case there was just straight up proof.

And of course, the way it was handled wasn't anything like "Oh shit, that IS how I heard of it! I totally forgot and fucked that up! I'm gonna change the article now and credit you at every appropriate opportunity!"

The main difference is that Now Again isn't going by Discogs links.. Egon has been a dedicated digger for like 25+ years now. As well as all the people in his circle. They don't need Discogs to know about these records.

I'm relatively new here, but I was reading that thread and I believe the forum member who recommended EU was "The_Stoned_Ape". (maybe?) Perhaps that will help to search for it if you want to try to find cached threads.

I just remember the story sounding pretty made up and then heard the forum's side of the story too and it all clicked.

Oh yea 100%. Egon actually goes and digs and has unearthed a ton of stuff. He's insanely connected with all sorts of record dealers all over the world. I never got that vibe from Cam. I just meant that a lot of labels now focus on albums that are super hard to find and can ONLY be purchased for very expensive amounts on discogs, so not anything inherently wrong with that.

Sorry to sidetrack too much. I'm also an Anthology subscriber. I like jazz, but don't have much of it and was hoping to learn more through the "experience". Boy, what an experience it has been thus far...

What if this whole thing is a game changing "living jazz" experience and we're all in the middle of an epic improvisation that's just gone a little more avant garde than we may be comfortable with?!

I can see that aspect of it has been even more frustrating than the jacket mishap and other things. Maybe the liner note booklet will help too but that's not until the last shipment which is weird to me. I guess it's because they wanted to keep the records "secret" so it was a surprise each shipment even though most people know by now what to expect...

I mean Egon probably has teams working for him scouring the planet for records. If you ever want to take a brief dip into the wild world of scouring some of these originals, take a look at the old Soul Strut forums.. especially the whole Meltdown between Kon & Amir and some guy that sourced a record for one of their comps (his name escapes me atm unfortunately). .. I'll see if I can dig up a link. Craziness.
