Swap Wild is the Wind for I Put A Spell on You and you’ve got a deal.
Actually @bdm105. If I had no Nina I’d hang fire and skip the VMP run and see if you can find the Four Women box on offer anywhere. That should fully sort your Nina needs

That's probably enough for most to be considered "balanced"

I've found that 93% of the people that come over to my house aren't interested in throwing records on. That's why I hang out here.

Yeah, it’s my daughter and my father-in-law everyone else could care less.

Yeah, and that number would be way higher if I wasn't insistent on them picking something if they even show the slightest bit of interest.
"Wow, are those all records?"
"Yes, now pick something. I have 37 copies of the White Album so be sure to analyze and choose the right pressing to your tastes."

Does anybody have the Four Women box and can comment on quality? Id say the VMPs will probably sound better given RKS and AAA...
@bdm105 i'd say you should pick up a Nina live album (I think VMP actually did a live album at one point? not sure if you have that one...). But she was so talented live and gave such great performances.
I grabbed the bundle. Baltimore is arguably worth it for the title track alone.
I will say the Speakers Corner Nina Sings the Blues pretty handily smokes the VMP RKS, which kinda surprised me.

believe that earlier RKS VMP was from digital sources. i might have to get the Speakers Corner though...

I'll also say that the KG cut of Little Girl Blue sounds awesome but only if you don't mind hard-panning. from what i remember, on some tracks her voice is hard panned on one channel with the piano on another channel, and on some other songs, her voice switches which channel its on from song to song. pretty sure KG just cut he lacquer and Michael Graves did the remastering. Been curious about the SC of that one but they used a different album cover weirdly.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, that's pretty much what it sounds like when I compare the two. Much more depth and detail on the SC
Hi, how's it going? I'm assuming the four women box is a repackaging of the Phillips box from a few years back? Although it could be a new mastering, they are probably using the same metal work. I had a few breakouts. from that set and while they sounded really good, nothing like the AP or SC Nina titles that I have.

If the Nina or Q1 ROTMs moved the needle for anyone on joining, I’m up for renewal this month (payment on Dec. 31) and would love to refer a friend to get some cash against the cost of renewal.

Which Philips box? I think there was a CD box but no vinyl version of this one? Think Kevin Reeves cut this new box

Just as an FYI, the referrals may not go through until after your renewal goes through so keep an eye on it. But you can always transfer any/all of it to store credit or try to get it refunded off your membershipIf the Nina or Q1 ROTMs moved the needle for anyone on joining, I’m up for renewal this month (payment on Dec. 31) and would love to refer a friend to get some cash against the cost of renewal.

From what I can see, that set was cut at Abbey Road from digital transfers, but Kevin Reeves cut the Four Women box. Pretty sure they are completely different cuts.

I was just pointing out the Phillips box.

Wtf VMP? Smooth Jazz, Warm nights, holidays! Then nothing’s smooth or holiday oriented. Plus there is no way in hell anything I order today gets to me before December 25.
