Dates back to Snoop. They definitely have taken a don’t get taken advantage of approach moving forward.

Might also be specific to the Anthology. Is this now common with the ROTMs and Exclusives too?

Not a big deal TBH. They probably should have already been doing that, if only to verify the product defects visually. But yeah, that would mean they were interested in improving in that regard (or willing to put pressure on GZ to make flat records devoid on non-fill issues).

I live sixty-ish miles south, mine is expected to be delivered tomorrow. I find that interesting as I thought they were staggering shipments to attempt for everyone to get them about the same time.

also I got this response about my Dexter

Where was the scratch/pop on your Dexter? I had one too (side 2 track 3) and they had me send some photos (after they already told me they had put me down for a replacement). They were very cool about it and thanked me saying the photos were helpful. I wonder if there was a pressing issue and they're going back at the plant for a credit or something.

Just received and opened my 2nd shipment. The "skewed" bottom text on Schizophrenia seems slightly less pronounced on mine than the previous pic, but I'm just eyeballing. It doesn't detract overall, IMO.

The back cover liner notes are intact on both. The Donaldson has some extra 2019 copyright text, but the Shorter doesn't, surprisingly. Both have barcodes, of course.

They stuck with the shipping to the folks farthest away first for, yup...
 
I received my first delivery this morning too, all in good order. I'm pretty impressed with the overall packaging quality to be honest, cover image issues aside. Looks and feels like quality, as you would hope for $280.
 
Had a chance to crack open “The Natural Soul”. I’ve listened to “Natural” 5 times now, and it sounds great. Very detailed, and the stereo separation is excellent between the instruments. It does have a pretty nasty “dish warp”, but fortunately my Michell clamp takes care of that. I’m getting ready to throw on “Schizophrenia”, and it appears to be completely flat.

Whooohoo! Got my first shipment today! These sound fantastic. Really enjoying Dexter Calling.

You know what VMP could do with more time? Pack all their shipments this well.

Glad you all got the first set but it is kind of sad that I got the second set a day before you got the first

I had a pop less than a minute into the first track on the B side, even after a Spin Clean. It was a tiny white piece of debris that I loosened with a fingernail, then cleaned again and the pop was gone.

The sound quality on the Dexter Gordon album is staggeringly good. It is the quality I expected of an RTI pressing. The Horace Silver album sounded fine; I listened to it with the mono button engaged on my old HK receiver. The sound quality is fine, but didn't jump out as being great-sounding the way the DG album did.
 
Or maybe I'm not getting it tomorrow as it's now back in Denver???
