Limited pressing you say... Only one run you say...It serve you right to get a restock
It Serve You Right to Suffer
'It Serve You Right To Suffer' was recorded in New York City in late 1965, and released in 1966. Hooker’s career defining singles were generally cut without much of a backing band--Hooker’s refusal to keep his blues constricted to structures like a single key, tempo, or rhythm scared off most...www.vinylmeplease.com
I seem to recall it being unanimously well regarded. It’s a Kevin Gray master but not sure where it was pressed. GZ maybe? I think the early Classics were GZ.
Thanks! I might have to swap for it if I can. I remember being disappointed that some of the early classics were GZ DMM, glad it wasn't this case for this one, which I believe was gone before I joined.
Appears to be gone at the moment.
The thing with those guesses is whether or not that's anything that will make people ignore the drastic price hikes. Logic would suggest that following a price hike they would bring straight fire that would appeal to lots of "Classics" people. I could be wrong, because VMP, but my expectation is that we will see some more household names. Especially because this is the first time they have announced three months in a row for Classics.
I agree with this. Chet is having a bit of a spike in popularity lately with a lot of reissues. It does seem like they choose an artist with name recognition and then look them up on discogs to see the last US reissue and then find a title they can afford to license. That’s why we are getting the lesser known “gems” which aren’t always gems.
I would really like to see Chet Baker’s Playboys get reissued. That’s a great album. Conflicting if it was actually released in ‘56 or ‘57 though.
Doubt they would do it with the cover unless there’s an alternative one I’m not aware of. I know there’s the “pictures of heath” cover but I’d want the OG cover...
I don't know if an agreement was ever reached, so they might get sued for using the title/typeface. Sorry, but that cover is terrible cheese anyway.
That’s why I like it haha. It’s so campy. I also am not a big fan of altering album covers typically.
Hell this would be a killer pick. Long out of print as well, I think the 90's was when it had its last vinyl reissue. Its been on my want list for years, so I would gladly get a Classics pressing of it.
