Honestly this + the flimsy sleeves sounds 100% like every Metal Blade release I own. I guess I thought they might up their game with the price tag involved, but that was foolish of me I guess.
Vinyl Me Please Anthology
- Thread starter mdmost
- Start date
It's not even that bad mastering wise
It's more like the drums can feel like like falling pancakes and the dynamics aren't as big as they could have been
It will probably work amazing for something like cannibal corpse.. but episode one are these big heavy and dramatic rock albums and they aren't getting the Bellman treatment is all im saying
This is basically a Newbury bundle and I actually kinda don't mind
I just wanted better jackets man. I have records from them littered with dings that are just a month old.
Still excited for the music. I love the Cannibal Corpse and Black Dahlia Murder albums, really like the Amon Amarth and am excited to hear the rest for the first time.

Good idea. That’s probably the ideal way to tackle it. But I’m impatient so I’ll probably just go through the rest of the records in one go tomorrow lol. I’ll be working from home so I’ll have the time.
Very well put. I agree.
Listening to the 3rd episode of the podcast
Basically it IS legal to show the cannibal corpse cover in Germany but it's on a list of things that can't be shown to people under 18.. but they are still nervous to play anything because it's unclear

One more episode of Herbie left for me. This box is outstanding from every aspect, except my copy or The Piano has some bad noise at many parts through side 1. Damn shame since its the most quiet album.
I wrote in for a replacement, and Tyler asked for a video but I havent heard back yet. Anyone have luck still getting replacements? I should have listened to them all quicker but I like to so it along with the podcasts and Ive had no real issues since Story of Blue note and Ive bought every Anthology (disclaimer: Im not picky about warps or seam splits unless significant)

I have had a replacement come through fine. It's annoying to have to upload videos and link them, but if it keeps the triers at bay then it's worth doing I suppose.

Yep, for sure. It was just annoying to catch since its at sporadic parts and I didnt want to send a 20 minute video.
Honestly when they look at my order history of 291 total orders with very few replacements, they should probably give the benefit of the doubt…but as long as I get one no big. The album is otherwise beautiful

Yeah completely!
To give them credit I think VMP's replacement policy is really good and it's honestly one of the main reasons I have stuck with them for so long. Not that I have had to use it too much over the years, but it certainly removes any worries.

Agreed! With the exception of last year where their CS Ive never had issues, but I know they’ve run out of replacements on these Anthologies before so hoping Im not too late here

Storf has some clues about the next 3 anthologies at the end of this interview......... VMP Anthology: The Story of Herbie Hancock – PS Audio

Wonder if they are doing something with Impulse as he says it is a jazz label celebrating a milestone anniversary.
Love that the 2 comments on the interview both complained about VMP using GZ

Oh man, a $500 Impulse! Anthology from VMP is going to be how we get a reissue of Ptah, The El Daoud into the world isn't it?

So:
10. Folk-centered
11. Philadelphia International Records
12. Jazz anniversary
Are there any other jazz labels other than Impulse celebrating an anniversary this year?

These all sound great, but really excited to see what the folk-centered one brings us.

What was Storf's hat during the Herbie AMA? "I'd rather be listening to Ch....?" I couldn't read the script.
Oh yeah, I received my Herbie Anthology Friday and am 3 records in and they sound awesome. Takin' Off was one of the dirtiest records I've ever seen (thanks GZ), and I had to take a knife and fix the centre hole, but it played great after a cleaning. Fingers crossed on the rest continuing to be flat with no surface noise.
