The 80s reissues should be fine. I used to own the second one and have a positive memory about how it sounded. The Anthology version is my first experience with the first album.

Second this... listened to record 1 yesterday and it sounded better than I expected.

So I've spun all three of the first episode now and I gotta admit, I'm really surprised at how good these sound. I don't have any originals to compare them to but just the sheer sense of space, especially on the latter two, is kind of amazing. Motown sure did love it some reverb. I'm going to stream the third record from Qobuz in 24/192 just to see how that compares. Gotta say, I'm really happy with these.
Holding out and not opening the other episodes until it's time, although I did peek and I know what they are, lol.

Glad to see they worked more of the issues out with AMP, just wish they could fix the price

Just got my box, and... huge dent in the outer box due to shipping mishandling. 
Even the first two records suffered small indentations on the cover. Hopefully CS has it covered. Shipping damage aside, the records look great, and the essays on the 12x12 cards are a great touch. Definitely feels like an improvement over the BN box all around.

Yes, it's called "Warp Speed" and it's a six disc box set of me on heavy duty speed screaming about warps for 240 minutes.
But seriously, I haven't even finished the first set yet... Not sayin' I would kick the idea out of bed for eating crackers tho...

My shipping box for Motown ladies looked like it took some hits, much like yours. I expected some damage but, luckily, the inner box was fine.
My Blue Note box got that same treatment from the post office and was terribly damaged. CS did replace it but, would not re-number it with my original number. Didn't like that.

Mine got crushed and ripped up too, not pleased. They even taped the wrong damn corners of the shipping box, leaving the flap end untapped and accessible.

Sorry to see you received a damaged box. If you (or anyone else) get replacements for the actual records, please keep me in mind. As long as the albums play fine, I would happily pay for albums #1 - 5 with dents, crunched corners, seam splits, etc. DM me if you receive replacements. Thanks!

For sure! I got a response this morning that they'll be sending the new box. I guess I need to open the other two episode packets and inspect those. I kind of wanted to play along with the unveiling this time, but it is a bit anxiety-provoking keeping them under wraps...

I highly doubt they'll give you a hard time replacing them if you wait to unbox along with the podcast.

Well-Known Member
Yeah, I'm thinking this too. I'm 100% sure they're aware that people are going to play along with the unwrapping game and still need to have stuff replaced. I'm tempted to unwrap just to check but I'm banking on them making good if I wait.

So I'm sure the people who love to clap when VMP does something wrong will enjoy this, though this is completely on USPS and not VMP. My package should've arrived yesterday or today. The package arrived in Dallas on 10/8 and made it to the central processing station. It then was "In Transit" for 2 days. Last night, it arrived in Seattle. So it went from Jersey City to Dallas to Seattle and is now on its way back to Dallas, maybe. So I'm guessing Tuesday or Wednesday I'll get it due to the mail holiday on Monday thanks to Columbus. So I guess I'll skip the unboxing event today as I'd still like to be surprised with my own unboxing. Now I'm wondering what shape the box will be in. Normally, I have no issues with USPS delivering things to me. Last issue was around Christmas when something was held at a post office for 5 days.
VMP IS THE WORST.

Man, this sucks. I had a package go out to LA then back to PA one time, that was wild.
Still, I love USPS. It's magic, honestly. They consistently deliver mail, even if they fuck up sometimes. People are people after all. But man, the USPS is awesome for how criminally underfunded they are.
