Apologies because I'm sure this has been discussed at length somewhere in this thread, but what is the verdict on the Motown box? Worth it or nah?
Okay so.... I could be nuts. I mean... I likely am either way... But I swear to god I just logged into VMP and the screen glitched as I selected a menu option and I saw a split second of a header that said "The Story Of Chess Records".
Now, I might have been seeing things because the current header is "The Story Of Ghostly" so it might have just been a mix of that but I freaking swear it said Chess Records.
So... yes. That could be upcoming and it would make sense.
Or I just made it all up in my head.
That's all I got.
Please carry on.

Black friday anthology saleI hope it makes it to Swaps next month
Loads more Stax pictures on Storf’s Instagram...
Numero group does a phenomenal job with soul and lesser known labels. And their liner notes are award winning.While I probably would pick up at Stax Anthology (if under $300) I wish they would do a lesser known soul label. Though I would definitely be interested in a Stax Country box
In my feedback survey for AMP#1 I told them to buy a couple Numero boxsets to see how to put one together properly so it is actually worth the price point they want to charge. Never heard anything back from them, strangeNumero group does a phenomenal job with soul and lesser known labels. And their liner notes are award winning
I have problems with warping with a lot of Numero boxsets.

I have been lucky in that I have quite a few NG releases and the warpage amount is minimal, on par with typical press quality standards from the 2010's. Nothing so bad I can't play it, a few bowls. But what I was refering to is the value added stuff, the liner notes, the quality of the books etc.I have problems with warping with a lot of Numero boxsets.

Speaking of Stax, cool Staples Singers box announced a few days ago.
"The six studio sets in the collection were cut from the original analog masters by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl. The seventh disc gathers together rarities, non-album singles and several live recordings from the group’s appearance at the famous 1972 Wattstax music festival. The albums are cut on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, pressed at Memphis Record Pressing."

7 LPs possibly cut AAA with a deluxe glossy booklet for 150. No podcast or "bonus content" though!
Every time I see a box set like this priced well under $200, I question why I buy these VMP boxes. I know it's a scale thing, Craft isn't limiting their releases, but still.
