No but been awhile since they have done one just as a store release. This one does seem a perfect fit as a companion to the Stax Anthology

since they already did a stax podcast, probably didn't think they could do an entire new multi-episode podcast about just the gospel label.

I forget they do podcasts for the Anthologies since I never listened to them.

some of them are not bad actually. i think they have largely gotten better since the first one based on the episodes i have listened to here and there.

Isn’t 225 significantly cheaper than a fucking anthology?

the herbie podcast was killer. the metalblade podcast had it's moments but was mostly meh (GWAR and Cannibal Corpse were ok, the others were kinda meh, imo.)

I might take a shot on it if it was $100 cheaper but that's never going to happen!
I always thought that boxsets priced records cheaper than if you bought them all separately, is this just a VMP thing or is it the case across the board? I don't normally buy boxsets but the few I have worked out cheaper than buying individually.

Same price per album pretty much. I think all their anthologies are around $38 per album

yea—somewhat similar price. I think even since the BN one they were hovering around $40 per LP

It's a VMP thing - they claim the 'bonus' material like the podcast justifies a higher price. Since most of the anthologies continue to sell well, they must be right in their assessment of what to charge.
Since there isn't anything special added for this gospel box, I guess Jesus told them to price gouge.

Considering you can self-curate this set for ~$100-150, it’s not exactly a huge bargain. A few of those titles can be had for under $10-15 in excellent shape on Discogs.

Box sets have become a luxury thing and outside of VMP are starting to be more expensive than the albums would be on their own. It’s a stupid trend.

Weathervanes
The eighth studio album from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, 'Weathervanes,' is available on exclusive Translucent Orange vinyl.
I love Isbell, but am I the only one who's starting to get Springsteen vibes from him?
Both the good (Amazing Songwriter, killer band) and the not so good (a little self-righteous, acts like a "man of the people" while charging his fans an awful lot).

I think those things are sometimes interrelated at least from a songwriting standpoint. Especially given the types of songs he writes.
