Someone talk me down before I do more damage.

Edit: I posted this to the wrong thread. Reposted to Blue Note thread. I can't explicitly say that this is due to having smoked a somewhat illicit substance, but I also can't say that possibility should be ruled out.

I’m jealous! You’re gonna love that MM SRX “Adam’s Apple”. Sounds absolutely phenomenal.

The track Horoscope has some really interesting harmonies that stand out to me. When they play the head at the beginning, there is that motif that that he states then modulates up and modulates again, but then at the end of that part, the song hits a brick wall of dissonance. What’s going on there?

Howdy. I didn't have access to a piano over the weekend, so I didn't have a great way to explain this. I think this video will address what you were talking about, but let me know if not!

 
So, I just received the next two records in the Anthology. Haven’t cracked them open yet, but I did notice that the artwork for Schizophrenia” is a little off. Specifically, the names of the featured players at the bottom of the front side of the jacket are crooked. I posted a pic. Anybody else receive theirs?

Reading storfs AMA there was a question about the temptations or the supremes being released as classic picks. Storf said they were thinking of doing one of those artists for something else. Had me thinking there may be a Motown anthology set in the future

Yeah I asked that question and that was my impression too (what else, could it be besides maybe essentials). I'd love a Motown Anthology, alot of gems there in need of reissue.

I don't see whats wrong. I compared it to the OG cover on Discogs and can't spot the difference. Can anyone specify what I'm not seeing?

Real question, does it have the original liner notes?

The text at the bottom goes up on a slant from left to right. That is not true of the discogs version posted by @cul8er

Oh, so you mean the distance from the bottom of the text to the bottom of the jacket on the right (yellow) is greater than the same distance on the left (red), is that correct?

If that is the case, this is not nearly as disatrous a messup as Dexter, but its still siappointing, especially given the price range. Although I suspect this could be a manufacturing mistake, and not an error in the files sent to the plant.

Yes, this could be that this jacket was misaligned during printing or the folding/glueing process.

Yep. Most likely that’s the issue. That’s why I’m curious to see if anybody else has the same issue with their copy. At the end of the day, it’s not that big of a deal, and not even close to the Dexter jacket f up. It just reaffirms VMPs lack of QC.
