OMG yaaaaas Dukey, I would love freaking love a dance album as an Essentials ROTM really soon! Like could we get something like Basement Jaxx's Romeo, Daft Punk's Homework or even Disclosure's Settle? Like we need some fierce, hot club music!
I think, from what I've read at least, the VMP pressing of BVSC will be a new and hopefully improved mastering cut by the original engineer. It could be markedly better than past versions. Potentially.
Tough telling. You can reach out to CS if it’ll make you feel better. You will end up with the album eventually but their logistics are terrible and the CS is overwhelmed. I am still waiting on my ROTM and multiple exclusives that seem to be getting shipped to other customers so we’re in the same boat if that provides you any solace.
They should have been dispatched but of course all have not. Still waiting on word on when they will ship my Sahara.
I’m still waiting for my Tyner McCoy Sahara to be shipped as well! I’m sure they’ll definitely ship it with my August ROTM’s, but if they don’t, I’ll definitely let CS know!
I saw an amazon review advising the standard version "comes with a brilliant little 20-page booklet with full lyrics (in Spanish and English) as well as the background to each song and pictures of the recording sessions".
I have this EU copy of BVSC from 2015... Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
It kinda seems like the same damned thing in black.
Oh damn that is cheeky, its the exact same booklet as the video. In the interview Storf talks about how they wanted it to be the definitive reissue by including the extras. Still going to be enjoyable, but talk about trying to take other peoples credit, super shady.I saw an amazon review advising the standard version "comes with a brilliant little 20-page booklet with full lyrics (in Spanish and English) as well as the background to each song and pictures of the recording sessions".
Just hoping the vmp version isn't a low resolution scan of the original, or a reproduction of the cd version...
I had a paid preorder disappear from my account once...had to email them for a refund. I'm sure there's a percentage of customers who wouldn't have noticed, it just seemed a bit underhand. I put this issue down to vmp's old billing system, but it seems like its happening on the new system too?I have exactly same issue - I added two extras also @- none of my orders are even showing anymore. Emails gone ignored for a week. Reckon I might see July and August arriving together
hope this is not the case for me my 3 pre-orders are not showing up in the orders section.
Yeah, same, except they claim Bernie re-cut the lacquers. Do they say why he did that? I'm pretty happy with that version, except it isn't the flattest. I don't know why I would expect this version to be better sounding.I have this EU copy of BVSC from 2015... Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club

And it's also not the first US reissue as they keep plastering every webpage with. VMP has gotten more and more misleading lately. And I believe they say Bernie remade the lacquers, not that he remastered the album.
I don't know if I'd describe flat out wrong as "misleading."
They will probably say something about how since it's not listed with a date on discogs, that there is no other US repressing.
