Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Didn't they change up the Dead box just enough so that the first run is definitely different than the 2nd (packaging wise at least)? I get it, it definitely sucks thinking you have something limited and rare, only for them to repress it, but if there's at least a differentiator between 1st and 2nd editions that would soften the blow somewhat.

It's pressed at a different place, so that's something.

They changed up the zamrock to look different and I didn't like that they did that.

The dead box they said "first print run" or something like that where you knew more could be made. I'm fine with that.

I just don't like being sold something limited/exclusive with, especially at the time, a price premium for the limited nature only for it not to be

I'm sure BN is going to eventually put out the others and they'll sound just as good for a lot less.

I get your point…But doesn’t this apply to all BN titles then? BN is probably gonna reissue nearly everything in TP or BNC.

Gimme a BN mono box though and I’d be in. BN seems to hate reissuing things in mono for some reason

I think VMP has been learning to do the first run note even if they have no plans to repress.

The BN repress will also have a different box design and be pressed somewhere different. Maybe they will even not do the CD cover for Dexter Calling this time!

They do and I'm totally cool with that. But that's why I don't like the repress of this

I'll be the one to say it. I don't like when things advertised as limited and exclusive get put out again.

They did something similar with the Herbie Box with the podcasts. When they first advertised it was "exclusive to the boxset" and later removed that line as I guess they realised they couldnt make it private and still release on Apple, Spotify, etc.
 
i'm of the mindset that its cool for people who have missed out on it. i didn't buy it for the exclusivity or resale. i know why people don't ethically like it but at least VMP has gotten better overall about that kind of stuff.

i think everything will eventually be repressed given demand and access to the sources.

Plus it came out in May 2019. 4+ years of exclusivity is plenty in my opinion

i will say, the one that really annoyed me recently was one of the Sufjan Stevens exclusives that Asthmatic Kitty did. They sold something like a very limited 500-1,000 pressing, then immediately said they were repressing it with the same color and an open order since it was popular. thought that was pretty shitty.
 
Well, generally I'm fine with represses as I want the musicians and artists I love to get PAID. And that's really hard for them these days. But, we're talking Blue Note here, so it's entirely possible none of the musicians see anything from this.
 
Did anyone here get the "Truth Is Where It's At" Gospel Anthology?

I swapped for it this month on a whim but not entirely sure whats its like. Is it heavily gospel-orientated in terms of sound? Or more funk / soul leaning?

I don't have it, but from my understanding it's about the same as going to church. I could be off but that was my take on it.

Yes. It's very funk/soul leaning besides the Jesus People album which is straight up big gospel choir....and Blue Aquarius which isn't gospel at all — it's more like hippie rock and the spiritual topics are more about Eastern/Maharaji stuff a la George Harrison and not Christian/Gospel.

The Rance Allen Group. Louis McCord, Gospel Artistics, and Clarence Smith albums are fantastic soul albums that happen to be lyrically spiritual/gospel leaning but the music is so good, and the sound quality especially on Rance Allen and Louise McCord and ClarenceSmith are absolutely SLAMMING and ridiculously good recordings. Fresh tapes and truly audiophile mastering, highly highly recommend it even if you aren't into traditional gospel. Those 3 records are worth the price alone.
