Vinyl Me Please Classics

Spinning Nat right now, I guess it was worth the wait even if there should have never been a wait (this will probably be a one of my top Classics picks)

I remember being so excited by Nat Turner Rebellion and it is such a great and fun album. Wish I could get that excitement back to be honest!
 
Reached out to CS regarding Nat and they sent me the wrong tracking number.

3233

So the lucky guy in France might get his NTR some day while I'm still sitting here, waiting patiently.


P.S. Of course I added mine later, after 12 days they completed processing in Melrose. So still no real movement here.

That’s most probably me. Unless there is another frenchman in Reze subbed to VMP !
 
Hey seriously, can someone give me feedback on their experience comparing remastered albums to originals from VMP???

I get that it will not be static ( different mixes different genres, and different engineers), but how much better are they on average than other standard reissues?

Say 1 to 10.

1 being It's essentially the same
10 being the difference will blow your socks off.

Depends on the record. But it's often 5+

I'm not going to impugn anyone's motives for responding or for their lack of reading comprehension, but the incredibly ridiculous responses to me are just getting to be too much. When I say that I have no interest in listening to gospel music, that's it. That's the statement I'm making.

One of my majors in college was Religious Studies. I have spent a lot of time researching and thinking about all of it, "any Western art" included. I was in Philadelphia for a cousin's wedding and while I wandered by the Liberty Bell, the one thing I truly made sure to do was spend an afternoon at The Barnes. I didn't spend much time with the crucifixion or angel paintings, but of course looked at them, primarily for technique and color palettes of the era. The other masters were far more interesting, though, so I focused on those.... just as I choose to spend my available money and listening time on non-gospel artists.

I am a Christian...but I totally get and respect your stand point. This is a great place to share those perspectives because its interesting information and worthy of validation. It takes a special kind of strength to align one's own content filters with personal beliefs...something I am working on...but fall short of constantly. Sorry there will be a gap in your Classics collection.

Probably gonna swap SRT for something else. I gave it a few listens and I don't think it would ever be a record that I would play much.

Considering Sorcerer, Darrell Banks, or Fancy Free but I'm open to suggestions.

All three are really good choices. If you want to play the "which one is closest to selling out" odds, Storf posted this Classics inventory list back around early April:

Some guy who doesn't post here said:
Max Roach < Alice Coltrane < William Bell < Koko < Buddy Guy < Archie Shepp < Milton < Lightmen < Lafayette < Darrell Banks << Eddie Floyd <<< SWF < Donald Byrd < Booker

(Max Roach has since sold out)

Sorcerer was an Essentials release so it had a larger print run than any Classics. But it's been out for a while, so who knows how close it is to selling out. You could always tweet Storf to ask.

As for me, this month I'm swapping for Little Milton. I do want Floyd, Byrd and Booker, but it looks like all three of those are gonna be around for a good while. I have no idea what happened to make VMP have so many leftover copies of Booker lol

I asked Storf on Reddit for stock levels of the three and his response was:

"Sorcerer is the one closest to being sold out, but none are likely to disappear forever after this month, I don't think.".

Pretty interesting response indicating that some records might not go away permanently.

He also posted this ranking for another comment:

"Booker >>> Byrd >>> Floyd >>Banks > Milton > Lightmen"

They specifically asked for the stock levels of those records. Looks like the ranking is the same, just switched Milton and Lightmen.

I opted to grab alice coltrane instead of ugk bc I thought it might sell out this month. Who knows though.

Some of them predate the not repressing track releases, otherwise, I think he meant that sometimes things go out of stock until there is an inventory reconciliation/people canceling orders and then come back
