Vinyl Me Please Anthology

How does everyone feel about the people who tend to post quite a lot of pictures of jazz albums without any actual content about them on the FB group?
I've never been a user of the facebook but based on what others are saying, the only thing I've missed is the helpful suggestions from @seeirwin but he was kind enough to re-post them here and that's been hugely helpful. I looked at this purchase from an education angle; the box sex touts six different jazz styles, so I expected to learn the differences through explanation rather than just listening and trying to figure out what was different.

Records three and four arrived today. The corners of the shipping box were a little banged up but there are no corner dings on the outer sleeves.

Part of the pitch from VMP was "We’ll also be dropping exclusive content, AMAs, listening parties, giveaways and discounts for this group." By "for this group" did they mean the facebook group? I ask because I haven't caught wind of any of these extras.

Lou and Wayne arrived today all safe and snug in their mail. Sadly before I even had the shrink wrap off Lou I could tell it was a salad bowl. I have not played it yet but will give it a spin tomorrow and see if I need to hit up VMP for a replacement.
 
Well.... package 2 just showed up! and it showed up twice. They sent me 2 packages each containing a donaldson and shorter. A new better kind of screw up?

I'm probably going to let CS know after I play one set and make sure there's no defects :p.
I'll gladly buy both records from you if they let you keep them! DM me if that is the case
 
I noticed that too. Weird. Maybe ask on the Hoffman forums? Joe Harley is on there sometimes. It also appears that it's missing the 6th track, Lady Iris B based on the track listing on the BN webstore.

Based on this pic, it looks like I "chicken little'd" a bit about Clubhouse and the sixth track is there, at least based on this mock up photo:

Amazing that the Tone Poet series could get the gatefold on this looking so good, yet Dexter Calling is on take 2. Still kinda bummed we are just getting tip-ons for the Anthology rather than these beautiful gatefolds. C'est la vie.

Is anyone else’s copy of Schizophrenia mislabeled? My side one is actually side two and side two is side one (first song on side one should be Schizophrenia. It’s not, it’s Tom Thumb; vise versa on side two)

My buddy just caught this too. (Although given the Pittsburgh location, I think that's you.) Yeah, mine is mislabeled as well. On the Schizophrenia album, the labels are on the wrong side. What according to the labels should be "Kryptonite" is actually "Tom Thumb" and vice versa.
