Vinyl Me Please Classics

I believe KG is doing 3 AAA Booker T releases soon for Jackpot Records

Rhino is putting out a 60th anniversary edition of Green Onions in January as well, but no word on the source or mastering engineer for that yet.

Saw that one in the target sale!

Really hoping for a Terry Callier album one of the next three months to go along with the Cadet anthology.

Won’t be New Folk Sounds. Storf said they tried but Craft had already started doing their pressing a few years back. Would love to get another album though

What Color is Love would be an amazing Classics title but probably better suited to Essentials. I have a feeling that I Just Can’t Help Myself might be the soul Classics pick though. It would be a great pick.

What Color Is Love already has several good editions. I got this one a while back and it sounds great!

Yeah I have the MOV reissue and it’s just OK. Looks like the one you linked to has pretty lackluster reviews too. An audiophile reissue would be very welcome.

 

[keylime_5]

As much as I LOVE jazz, nice to see some other genres in the Classics.

There's gonna be like 3 or 4 jazz Classics ROTMs in a row after Q1. I guess that's what sells best for them.

Yeah Storf shared a list of all classics titles and how well they sold. Davis/Coltrane was 1 and Sun Ship was 2 which is wild considering how new it is. 8 of the top 10 were jazz (Green and Withers snuck in there).

I’d guess that Sun Ship had much higher pressing numbers and they simply have more members now. Plus not shocked that Coltrane sells well even if it’s not his most accessible album. I think Davis/Coltrane was repressed too?

Yeah the pressing numbers def make sense. And Davis/Coltrane and Call Me were both part of the VMP100 repress.

Otis Redding and Gabor Szabo have been repressed and are available now. Pressed at GZ instead of QRP, though.

Here's what Storf had to say on discord about the pressing plant change:

 

[MikeH]

also: " The waitlist for Classics is 1 Gabor 2 Otis 3 Aretha 4 Lee Morgan 5 Bill Withers
First 4 are gonna happen by middle of next year"

Well, I'm taking a gamble on Otis. We'll see how 'peerless' it is, Storf.

 

[MikeH]

I mean, I will say....most of the GZ Classics I have gotten lately have sounded great. We know they are capable of doing good sounding pressings.

I'm probably gonna give Dreams a shot once I get my swap for credits tomorrow.

 

[NewsFedora]

Yeah I haven't had any issues with any GZ Classics I got this year. I'm cautiously optimistic these will be satisfactory for anyone who picks these up.

 

[NewsFedora]

Another round of clues:

 

[bdrummond]

First Classics Odetta and the Blues (already had an Odetta album in the Vanguard anthology)?

Also, was the rule that Essentials they wouldn't double up on, or every other track? If it's just Essentials the last month could be Isaac Hayes.
