Just note that Vol 1 is a 2LP gatefold and not a box, so you don't have a surprise when it arrives.

Vol. 2 is a box with 3 Lps.

Thanks. A gatefold sleeve will fit better anyway

OK. Show of hands. Who here separates out their Colemine releases since I'm debating giving them their own cube. I go back to them so often that I hate digging to find them.

I used to have a section devoted to all of my funk/soul albums, which is where all of the Colemine stuff went, but have been integrating them into the rest of the alphabetized records in prep for their move to my basement soon.

The struggle is real

I've been doing this too, but realistically they get more table time than any other's at the moment. Also, I've had more compliments from house guests about the Colemine releases than any others by far. They are crowd pleasers.

This is a sleeper album. I feel like it will creep into the top 10 for me after a few more spins. There are some bass lines and grooves I was not expecting based on the singles.

It started there. I love it. It’s my favorite Colemine release to date.

Me! I started doing that when I got a critical mass of them and they started clogging my in rotation bin.

EDIT- here they are:

Ordered Neal Francis & SFSE through one of my locals just over a week ago, and they came in last night (a week or two before I expected them to)!

I never noticed the spines were designed the same like that, looks great all together!

But there is one problem with that picture, where's the Durand Self-titled?!haha

It's definitely on the wantlist! Top priority with Delvon Lamarr.

I was just telling my wife that I needed to do this - will possibly combine them with my Daptone records as well.
