Totally get it. This is why I have no preorders in personally. My point is that people on this thread seem to be saying that VMP is going down in flames because of this. I think that's a bit hyperbolic.

Re the above, the point is that building something like this takes a ton of more time than expected and their biggest failure was communication. If anyone here has gone through a process like this, especially one that involves governmental approvals, financing, construction and all that relates...

I have two things to say. First, I think people are probably overreacting to that article. I mean, there is a lot missing factually since it is a short piece and I would suggest that there are some strategic moves taking place here by the venture capitalist "owners". Perhaps waiting and...

FYI, looks like the next batch of TBM titles by Bernie are up, if you are so inclined. Very pleased with the first three.

Thanks for bringing up Why Not. There are a lot of satisfying records on the label, though not sure if I would agree with the "half of them" comment (perhaps you are talking about the Donald Smith record, which I think is fun every once in awhile or the Cyrille with Ware). I have about 7 or 8...

Forgot to say on this Strata East angle, I know we aren't talking about LPs but damn, Mosaic really treated the Strata East works of Charles Tolliver (two selects) and Clifford Jordan with the passion they deserve. I would not want to be without these three releases.

Thanks and please report back. I'm a little iffy on J Jazz vocals but I am in for the other two. LITA did a fine job for me on that first bundle but I am only going to try for the two instrumental releases on this round. I used to buy a ton of CDs from CDJ so I would like to use them again.

Re the above - Toki is already gone. That's the one I really want. Hopefully, LITA or DG gets these too.

Yes, I too would love a good copy of Long Before Our Mothers Cried. Such a killer and possibly a hair above the A&Ms.

Welcome, Steve Hoffman.

Did anyone grab the Harmonia set? That's the only one I missed. Wondering if I should just stick with the 2016 reissue.

https://gimmemetal.com/products/vinyl-club-album-of-the-month Well, looks like this one is a pass for me because, well, I preordered it when it came out originally. :p An absolute killer if anyone out there doesn't have it. I had other plans but bummed I missed the Decibel Tour when it hit...

Um, what?

Thank you for posting this and spreading the gospel of Ciani. Loved her work for a long time (except for some of that New Age stuff back in the 80s when New Age was sort of a thing). Sorry that I am in the minority but I've always kind of liked the Subotnick record because I love early synth...

Jaco. Done. [an ode to @Lee Newman in the drummer thread]
