Thought this could use its own thread now too.

I've been curious about this club for a while now, and with Juju and EU this past month, I think I may finally be ready to join.

Anyone have any experience with them? What are your thoughts?
 
This quarter's release:

Current release: LAMP Records It Glowed Like The Sun: The Story of Naptown’s Motown, 1969-1972
The collected soul, funk, gospel and rock releases from Indianapolis’ greatest label.
Sometimes, all it takes is one man to recognize a city’s potential for an industry. In Indianapolis, that man was Herb Miller, and his business was soul and funk. He came to prominence long after Indy’s allure as a jazz destination waned. He founded LAMP Records in the late 1960s to wake Naptown from its musical slumber.
Miller served a critical role in city’s burgeoning soul and funk scene, providing not only financial backing, but acting as a one-stop, record-making shop for artists that had, to that point, been doing it all themselves. He’s the Berry Gordy you’ve never heard of. His roster – national acts like the Vanguards and Ebony Rhythm Band alongside talented, regional acts such as the Moonlighters, Montiques, Pearls and the Words of Wisdom Truth Revue – rivaled that of any American independent and paved the way for the ascension of 80s and 90s hitmakers Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Antonio “L.A.” Reid, both of whom cut their teeth with LAMP alumnus.
The LAMP label is the reason we have a perfect window through which one can view the vibrant history, culture, and politics of Indianapolis’ black community during the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s. Now-Again started its work collating LAMP’s releases two decades ago. The exhaustive work over the intervening years is shown in an oversized, 24 page 12 x 12 booklet that details LAMP’s trajectory and that of its artists; the music is presented as a 2LP set; a bonus third LP, available only to subscribers, presents a full Vanguards album. Download card for WAV files includes the entirety of the label’s recordings, over four hours of music.

I did their first year, then quit after the quality of the package dropped off a lot after year 1. By which I mean the jacket construction, extras, pressing location, etc all went down, none of which would have been enough for me to leave, but together they made it hard to justify the cost. However, they may have reversed course on some of these choices since I left the club (and whatever the package quality, the music selection has always been really good)

That having been said, if anyone is in the market for the first year of releases, with the wooden sleeve, I'm looking to sell.

Does it have to be the whole thing or would you piece them out to? Any idea for price?

My preference would be to just get rid of them all at once, since there's the wooden box housing all 4. Bit I can give some thought to selling them pieced out...are there particular ones you'd be interested in?

(Sorry to everyone else, not trying to turn this to my personal sale thread, I just saw an opportunity and I took it)

This is just the first 4 right? Paternoster, Mark III, World's Experience Orchestra and Rob Thomsett? And what's the box look like.. not sure I've actually seen one besides their initial pre-production images..

Yeah, that's the 4. I can send you a pic of the box, but it's pretty basic. Just a clear lacquer and the logo etched into it

Can't say that without telling us which two and why those??

Sorry wasn't trying to be coy...

Key and Cleary - Love is the Way and Paternoster - Die Ertsen Tage

They're the two that stand out the most for me and cover two totally different areas of interest for me; one being upbeat boogie and the other "spooky" psych/sci-fi OSTs

Can you give me an idear of what you're looking for it, even if it's just a ballpark?
