They don't really do that, they just pretend they do when they steal ideas from the forum so they don't have to give credit.
Well yes I know they don’t do that, no one in their right mind would do that! It is what makes it even more laughable than just going to such lengths to avoid giving credit.

Grace is an all-time favorite of mine, I have the 2010 release. I would probably grab this at $27 or $28. My copy sounds decent and I'm guessing it's probably the exact same master.

Phew!!! Normal service resumed with you @Joe Mac , you are a man of principle without a doubt. If Songs For The Deaf is out i’ll rejoin too. But first there’s a little matter of getting a few more Dylan records.
Haha! I’ve spent the week sorting out my digital library onto my roon server I set up. Only got up to H after 4 nights
. My Dylan collection was approaching 200GB...

Is that due to bootlegs or have you them recorded in flac?
Yes, and as much as I'm deeply uneasy at the "hallelujah blue", I've been looking for a good pressing of this for a while. And in Canada with taxes that same standard 2010 KG pressing would run me about $32, or more. And I can't afford the 2LP 45 ORG Grundman. So for about $40 CAD with the 7" I'm gunna grab this. If I lived in the States and could get that 2010 for $18 all in I wouldn't have grabbed the VMP... because it is overpriced.

The flac CD rips are the lowest quality on there...
I have SACD rips of all the ones that came out on that format so converted them all as DSD files. Approx 2GB an album...
And I have all the studio, all the live and all the bootleg series (and as they’re digital that’s the full 6+ CD versions...)

Very impressive. I have them all ripped too my young padwan. You are strong in the ways of the force and will make a great Jedi master.
The insanity of music collecting, I owned all his studio albums, most on the aforementioned SACDs before I ever got a turntable, now I’m buying them all over again, and I claim to be sane...
You're only claiming to be sane because you're legally obligated to. What with the whole "lawyering" thing...
Haha! I like to think that I’m sane in every aspect of my life that doesn’t involve music or football. I’m horribly deluded, but still...

I picked it up for the exact same reason. It came up to $42.96 so I can live with that.

This is the info provided from VMP regarding mastering:
"The bonus 7” was mastered at Battery Studios by Vic Anesini. The 12” record is the same audio as Sony has been using for their catalog version. It wasn’t remastered specifically for this VMP version, it was Kevin Gray who mastered this I believe."

I ordered a record from Sub Pop and it arrived in an Amazon-style mailer (which is awesome at protecting against corner dings) and reinforced with a cardboard stiffener (not bubble wrap).
The VMP mailers are awful. The edges are not folder over for reinforcement, so they crumple easily and don't protect against corner dings.
The problem is solvable. Sub Pop does it. VMP chooses not to.

I have Grace on mini disc. I think it was the first and only offical release I ever purchased in the mini disc format.
“I Believe”????? well fuck, I think we can safely say that this was mastered by anyone but Kevin Grey then. And I pulled the trigger yesterday.
Wow, I had heard of these official mini disc releases but, despite owning a mini disc player back in the day, i have never seen one or heard a real person say that they owned one...
