Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I've got...crickets? Nothing from any source. I am pretty sure I have gotten removed from the mailing list somehow as the last update I got about anything was in late March. Definitely no shipping labels, although I got notice today that they are shipping the Essentials and Classics add on already? Anyone else got that? Definitely nothing about my main man, Herbie.

You're honestly not missing much on the Herbie anthology


I got an email today about shipping, a label was created but I'm in Canada so I'm not sure if they start with international, knowing VMP there's no rhyme or reason

I'm in the same boat. Radio silence on Zamrock although according to Informed Delivery preshipment info was sent from Century Direct LLC on 4/30. So... hopefully soon? I also got the Essentials/Classics shipping confirmation yesterday (USPS also shows those as Label Created as of now).
 
Mine is moving on Informed Delivery with ETA on Saturday, since I am only a couple hours from the NY warehouse. No shipping notification email though.

Same. Got a shipping email today. Someone must have remembered to hit that “send emails out” button this month. I’ve gotten 4 in the last 3 days. All with working Tracking Numbers. I almost don’t believe it.

all still in pre-shipment. Anthology been that way since April 30th, but still......it’s a tracking number!
 
Looks nice. Mine is still stuck in "En Route" according to DHL. Hopefully the end of next week it will show up here in Canada. Surprised (not really) that VMP has not posted some sort of hype video with the boxes now shipping.

I think I got mine so quickly because I live in NYC and they were shipped from NY. Expecting them to do some unboxing next week or so. It’s really nice so far. Onto record 2 now. Each record is contained in another sleeve that has a rip tab and says “episode 1” “episode 2”, etc. I wish they got rid of that—we know what the records are already. My OCD makes me think I should keep them all but then it’s a pain in the ass to play the records by having to take them out of 2 sleeves each time I want to play them...

The box quality is super nice though and the records sound great so far. I’m on record two so far.

Nice that you got yours already. Mine is still in transit.

It is normal to want to keep those episode sleeves. I'm debating it I should keep the mailer box.
 
Definitely check all those sleeves...I opened them all today and ended up with 2 copies of Dots Fireballs and am missing the Crossbones Wise Man album...put an email in so hopefully I can get a copy of the missing album and they let me keep the double of Fireballs...

Wow I will definitely do that.
How are the records sounding so far? Are they on part with the VMP classics in terms of sound?

They sound great so far. I’d say maybe a little below Classics in terms of sound since I’m not sure which,if any, of these are from original master tapes. They simply don’t exist anymore. But I haven’t been disappointed in any really so far. Going to listen to a few more today. I’m getting a new cartridge this week so was putting off listening to them all but I’m impatient haha

Didn't they say one was and the rest were original vinyl rips? (After they initially said they were all from master tapes)

Pretty sure that Egon said they were vinyl rips mostly, but I think only some of the titles were Now-Again titles. I can't remember which were said to actually come from master tapes. They sound surprisingly good to me though for vinyl rips of the ones I have listened to so far!

I reached out to Egon on Instagram. He confirmed that the Fireballs album was sourced from tape, but the rest of the records were sourced and restored from vinyl.

That's not uncommon for reissues of these types of records, and I'm sure they'll sound fine, but it's disappointing to see VMP's inaccurate and misleading description of how these records were mastered.

Hey-- that's the one I got two of haha. If I ever hear back from VMP, I'll probably sell that one for real cheap on here or PIF it...
