So VMP is the new Mondo? Make pretty packages that sound like hot garbage?

Enoch was a forum user back in the day. He had a complete VMP collection. Every single rotm, every single exclusive. I believe he sold off his collection and stopped posting around the same time.

Did he actually sell off his collection though? I remember him offering it for some ridiculous price and saying local pickup only, and then getting annoyed when people asked if he'd sell individual records.

It was definitely an odd situation. I remember him getting super annoyed anytime VMP pressed something he didn't like, like it was their fault 😂

Interesting...I have all but two of these (Chico and Lorez), but I wouldn't say "definitive" copies of any. Going to be a tough call on this.

For sure - more than half even, but mostly budget-type reissues:
  • Mingus - Superior Viaduct did one that's okay at best (nowhere near their great version of Black Saint)
  • Szabo - LITA did a decent version. I think it's a Rainbo pressing, but my copy sounds fine
  • Mel Brown - recent Verve reissue done at Third Man
  • Karma - Chad did this one, I assume it's a good one
  • Alice - recent Verve reissue done at Third Man

He wasn’t a nice person. On the old forum he used to gaslight anyone who had pressing problems on a record and shout over their complaints.

Also used to be very outspoken, acted like the forums official spokesperson and couldn’t deal with disagreement. Everyone who disagreed, no matter how minorly was orchestrating some kind of mass witch hunt style pile up.

Also he wanted the whole discogs median $65k, local pick up only. Didn’t like people kindly, initially, pointing out that he couldn’t realise that in one drop. Was told collector not could afford that and that a dealer would knock at least 40% off because they have to make a profit. Apparently these were bad faith attacks 🙄
