I had to choose between Cadet and Impulse. Them I remembered VMP is VMP and they can always mess up with Impulse box. At least there are not known issues with Cadet's so I went with this one. Agreed about these two. Harold Land's great too.

I was more interested in the Cadet box than Impulse, but I did end up ordering Impulse with the code. I can always cancel if I want it. I think that will stick around longer due to a few of those titles getting recent reissues.

I was dabbling in the Cadet titles this morning. Peace Maker did not make an impression, but maybe I need to give it a closer listen. Would definitely love to have the Etta, Muddy, and Ashby. Thoughts on the others?

they are all great (well maybe aside from Ramsey Lewis haha), but Peace-Maker was the album that i wanted most. Originals are in the hundreds of dollars. Same with Afro-Harping.

Electric Mud is great--a clear upgrade over the recent Turd Man reissue. Etta is also really really great. Mono copies of that one are hard to find from what I recall.

I actually enjoyed Ramsey Lewis album but it was more in the background than really focused on the music. I have been playing the anthology on Spotify quite a lot in the last weeks. Too good to pass with the discount code and the credits.

The Terry Callier is my favourite in the box, followed by Rotary Connection. To me the only dud is Shades of Brown which left no impression on me

Before taking the plunge on anthologies, I price them out with what I can find on Discogs. Here is mine for Cadet that I did this week:

Tell Mama (Mono) - $52 ($25 for stereo)
Afro Harping - $56 for VG or $80+ for a decent copy
The Peace Maker - $33
Electric Mudd - $25 (already have)
Mother Nature's Son - $21 for VG $30+ for a decent copy
Shades of Brown - $110 🤯
Hey, Love - $25
Occasional Rain - $74
Total: At least $344 (took Electric Mudd out because I have it and did stereo Tell Mama). More like $429 if everything is in there + whatever you value the box and extras at.

You don't have the Cadet sticker. This alone is worth the difference :p
 
So if I want to use a 40% off code to get an Anthology, I have to do it soon because these are "Black Friday" codes, correct? And if I'm taking that plunge, it probably makes sense to re-join so I get member pricing too. Problem is, I wanted to wait until next month to re-join so that I could get Ode To Billie Joe and Acid as part of my 8 freebies. The math is killing me.

Code is valid until Cyber Monday. You can always DM customer service and ask how to sort it out.

Code is good through Cyber Monday so you have about a few days. Unsure of Acid or Ode even being in freebies next month

Is the Impulse anthology using the same plates as the Third Man crap?
 
By the way. I could not use both discount code and store credits at the same time. So as suggested, I sent an email right after I placed my orders and less than one hour after, I have already been refunded.
I can complain about a lot of things about VMP but hat off to their CS people.
