Oh yes, such a good record! People are sleeping on that one IMO. It's probably in my top four or five for Classics this year.

Streaming doesn’t do it justice. I spun mine earlier today and it sounded great.

At the end of the Waylon podcast Storf teases the anthology after after Memphis Rap. It’ll be the first one focused on a solo female artist and that she was “very important in the 70s”. He also said that they’re working closely with her and her family. No mention of genre or anything only...

Anyone else get a noisy copy of Ray Charles? Mine had significant surface noise throughout. I haven’t cleaned it yet, though.

Sounds like I could probably skip VMP's version. I have the KG cut and think it sounds incredible.

I got that one when it first dropped and it may be my favorite of the bunch so far.

Same here. Went a little Dolly crazy with that 40% off code.

I’m really curious how this pressing sounds compared to the KG cut from a few years ago. I have that version and it sounds fantastic.

Bought Sly & the Family Stone’s Stand with the coupon. Brought it down to $29 which is much more reasonable.

It seems they didn't really "like the music in the first place" so I'd take that review with a grain of salt. But it's not super encouraging regardless. Personally, I was expecting it to sound a little rough given the nature of the recording. But I was hoping Ryan Smith was able to elevate it...

Not sure if this was already pointed out, but I just notcied that Comedia is cut by KG instead of RKS.

It's crazy to me that they haven't featured her in Classics yet. With the previous clue being 1967 then it could be High Priestess of Soul or Silk & Soul. I'd prefer High Priestess, but both are good.

Blue Note is having a holiday sale. 50% off select items. Almost pulled the trigger on the Ornette Coleman box set but decided to pick up a few records from the Classic series and a Jackie McLean Tone Poet instead. Not too shabby. https://store.bluenote.com/collections/the-opener-holiday-sale

Did the same. I feel no shame.

Well said. It’s this kinda attitude that makes this little corner of the internet so enjoyable for me.

I’d say it’s a second tier solo Wu-Tang project. Which, given how incredible top tier Wu-Tang albums are, isn’t bad at all.

Yeah you’re right. For a moment I felt bad, but now I don’t care. And I’m sure VMP doesn’t either.

Yeah I wasn’t even aware that it was intended for only a specific group of people. I just saw it on Reddit without context and wanted to share it here… I feel kinda weird about using it now.

There’s a 40% off code floating around for Veteran’s Day. 2023HERO40 I can confirm that it works on pre-orders, including anthologies.

November 7 I know you bought an album that you had to order online because you were too embarrassed to buy it in person. Don’t be shy; play one of these “guilty pleasures.” Tell you what, to help out a bit: no explanation is necessary for this one. Brad Paisley - 5th Gear I’ve definitely been...
