Vinyl Me Please Essentials

thats where my suspicion is... what is an album that doesn't have an easy (US) pressing
 
I don’t think it’s Coleman, you can get that AAA 45 or 33 right now in print:


fwiw, VMP never seems to consider SC releases (or other european/UK releases) when deciding what to reissue. Phineas had a somewhat recent SC release too and they reissued that one. not sure they care about competing with the ORG 45 either.
 
I skipped it too. I think I will have more fun spending the money elsewhere.
i did a 3 month when the promo popped up and i wanted thin lizzy. just gonna pocket store credit the next 2 months for the impulse box, if that ever comes out. miiiight pick up Sun Ra if that ends up being the jazz album. but i haven't been tempted by too much else.

I did use the credit from sign up plus the $100 get $25 off deal to pick up a few of the Jazz Dispensary titles for about $28 each.

True, but the Phineas and Donny Hathaway they did a Mono mix instead of the standard stereo mix like SC. Also the ORG 45 RPM is in print, Rhino did a AAA 33 in 2010, and Rhino did another sourced from digital more recently in 2015. VMP Classics doesn't really ever do stuff that was reissued that much that often in the US. Not to mention they never do titles that big in the Classics track either.

I just remember Storf saying something to the extent of European releases not counting whenever they mention "its been x years since an AAA pressing". Anything done by SC/Pure Pleasure/other labels in Europe or UK seems to be overlooked by VMP.

Agree with your points though.
 
Yeah they say it doesn't matter, but if it truly didn't impact them then they would have done Phineas and especially Donny in Stereo not mono to differentiate in the market. I think we could certainly get a Shape of Jazz to Come in mono from them, which would be pretty rad, but I think the clues are pointing towards that Sun Ra anyway, which fits into the tier of titles Classics usually does much more nicely..
