Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[Ghost]

Through Side A of Chico. Think it sounds better than Africa/Brass so far.

Edit: reading/learning on how Africa/Brass was recording, yea, checks out. Look forward to listening again with that perspective.

That Chico sounded great and I’m happy to report Alexandria The Great sounded REAL GOOD. I’m bouncing around and haven’t done Africa/Brass yet but I’m excited to dive into it soon.

I’m listening to Africa/Brass right now. Love Coltrane and have never heard Africa before, this is a treat. I’m pleased with both the record and sound quality.

I recently streamed it for the first time and it was one of the records that really made me feel comfortable pulling the trigger on the box. Just an incredible session!

It's also interesting that VMP went with the mono for Africa/Brass (or at least that's what the sleeve says). I spun Ptah quickly and sounded great to me. I PIFed the Turd Man VBR one awhile back as I didn't like it. Will have to compare again to the 1996ish CD I have which has been my go-to prior to this.

Mild regrets for canceling mine. But i also really needed the money it freed up at the time.

Checked and Impulse40 doesn’t work on it

Impulse40 doesn't work on any box sets or preorders. And it's tied to your account, so if you cancelled the preorder, probably didn't get the code.

I have the code, didn’t know it wouldn’t apply to boxes

Ah thought you were talking to @avecigrec . Yea--pretty sure only one cancellation/delay code applied to box sets...maybe Sublime or something with Willie Nelson? The other ones all said does not apply to box sets or preorders and it expires in late December.

Funnily enough, it works on the Phish box set, but I still don’t want to drop $280 on it.

Yes I may have a problem. Yes I wish they would have done my idea years ago that you get the same number anthology every time. No I will not be answering any questions at this time.

Favorite? Least favorite?

They're all really good and I don't like picking favorites/least favorites of art. Makes it feel too much like I'm working instead of enjoying. I wish the blue note box was made of the same material as they do the current ones. The paint has rubbed off of that one and it doesn't show as well.
