If mastering and pressing details aren't important to you, you should go for it if you want it. They aren't very clear about that in the listings I have found.
Does anyone have the Ebalunga!!! reissue? I'm curious to know the deadwax info if so.

What’s your instinct saying? Wait for the VMP pressing or get this one without waiting at your local?

Exactly, the VMP pressing will sound better! It is AAA, pressed at QRP and cut at Sterling Sound by Ryan Smith! The Bar-Kays Classics ROTM sounded superb, like extremely good, and people are saying the Sonny Rollins Classics ROTM sounds superb too!
So if you want the best sound quality, go for the VMP pressing. VMP pressing would be more expensive however!

Whaaaaat!?! That’s so good! VMP pressing is more than 5x the price!!!

At least on Amazon, Ebalunga is more expensive for me, since I haven't had to deal with the new prices yet. If we are talking swap price then it is 2 dollars cheaper. Not sure what record stores will have it listed at.
I haven't even listened to this yet, so I don't know if I'm getting it or not! Will do soon.

Not a lot of mastering info here, but they've got it as well:

That’s one thing that’s great about VMP - the tell you what the pressing details are straight up!Not a lot of mastering info here, but they've got it as well:

It’s such an amazing album, i was blown away! I think I prefer the album more than The Immortal Otis Redding, Aretha Now and Magician (which were my top 3 Classics ROTM’s so far this year)! It’s my favourite Classics ROTM so far of 2020!
Awesome that this Gábor Szabó’s Dreams ROTM will be a gatefold jacket too!
I bought it as a non member at the member price with free shipping two weeks ago when it popped up in the store. No reason to resubscribe to buy it.

You don’t like any of the 9 ROTM’s that got announced today? Not even the Billie Holiday?
If you don’t care for any of those 9 ROTM’s, then I would wait and get that John Lee Hooker when it goes on sale in the VMP store!

because it’s for sale on their website...
Lots of Billie Holiday can be had for pretty cheap. And like Charlie Parker a lot of her source material isn’t that well recorded so even a AAAAAAAA version may not sound exactly pristine. In short, probably not worth $30 or however much the monthly subscription costs.

This!
I doubt the album will sell out in swaps. VMP would’ve definitely of held some copies back to be on sale in the store afterwards too!
It ends up being cheaper for me to purchase for USD$34 as I get charged tax with the add-ons, but not with the store exclusives/if i buy an album from the store directly!

But Spankrock commented specifically on Light In The Attic using hi-Rez for mastering! He was talking about it in the context of a LITA pressing/reissue! But it’s not!

Sure. I guess people aren't aware that they carry and/or distribute for lots of other labels on their store.

Yeah, I didn’t know that.
