Vinyl Me Please Essentials

So is this going to be anything more than a colour variant of the original? It's been a while since I've listened but I don't remember it sounding bad?

We probably won't know any remastering info for a while, but you are not wrong.
 
Bitte Orca is a great album and while I'm sure has been readily available in the past, my searching today indicates getting a new and sealed copy will run close to the subscription price and it's not available many places. So I'm fine with that as the choice. The choices in the other two tracks were quite poor. I'd echo that Hancock would have been better served with a dozen other albums of his and I'll just refrain from commenting about the NERD choice all together since I have nothing nice to say about it.

I agree with this and I think Bitte Orca is a legitimately essential album. It's definitely available but not supremely cheap, so the packaging/possible mastering might make this worthwhile. I'll probably still sit this one out since I have it, but for anyone on the fence, it's a really good album.
