Oooh not a bad set, perhaps more obscure than they could have gone which is nice. I imagine the Gary Bartz and Idris Muhammad will be the better sellers. Now to see how much they are going to be...

That Melvin Sparks rules. Don't think it has been reissued for 30 years or so. Betting on same price or more than last time. I'll be really surprised if the lower the price.

I’m guessing $50 a piece with a bundle for like $180.

I’m guessing $50 a piece with a bundle for like $225.

fixed it for you. the ol VMP bundle special

I like all of these, but...how many Soul Jazz albums does one need? These all seem like they are an 8/10 musically, so very good, but not transcendent. Why would I play one of these over the other Idris Muhammad album I have, or Jimmy Smith, or Charles Kynard, or some of the other Jazz Dispensary albums I have. I can't believe I'm typing this, but it kinda feel like I've reached my saturation point on the genre.

Concord isn't gonna give VMP the best of the best as exclusives IMO. But if you like any of these titles, most of them haven't had reissues in 30+ years. I kinda like that they are lesser known titles.

Hey i wasn't far off. $50 each/$200 for the bundle with cheaper member prices.

They can't even knock a frickin' 5 bucks off

"Opulence Dripping Funk" is the name of my new Doom Metal septet.

For $180 they could just throw in the tote bag!!

the thing i don't get is regular jazz dispensary titles are $25 with the same pressing and mastering specs as these. so is VMP buying them at cost from Concord and then selling them at twice the markup?

 

[Mather]

"Waterbed Grooves" is the name of my new PornJazz Organ Fusion 4 piece.

I think you're missing the obvious value-add of buying it from VMP: you get to give them your money.
