Mmmm yeah, I think you’re right! VMP would clearly state if there were plated at QRP or RTI! They did that with the Herbie Hancock Anthology! Dang, looks like this set is going to be a pass for me then! I have a feeling The Story of Vanguard Anthology is not selling well and won’t sell out, so...

I love this post! It’s everything!!!! 😍😂

Hey, so I’ve got a question! With The Story of Vanguard Anthology, does anyone know where the pressings were plated? We know the six albums in there are all pressed at GZ, but I want to know where it was plated! I’m hoping VMP chose to have them plated at either RTI or QRP! This would be more...

So, if Teddy Pendergrass is the Classics ROTM for October, what are the front-runners for the November & December Classics ROTM?

Yay! I'm so thrilled! I really like Life Is A Song Worth Singing - It's a wonderful album! The last three songs AKA side B of this album is magnificent! I cannot wait for this one! It's going to be a joy spinning this one during Summer! :cool:

Nope! I'm still living week to week, but because I've been doing overtime at work + recently receiving an outstandingly good tax return, I'm back to splurging on records, on top of eating really well everyday! 😇 I was so happy that I was able to afford The Story of Philadelphia today! I'm...

I got my Bill Withers +justments yesterday and I'm also in Australia! I work for AusPost and they are really down on drivers at the moment in Melbourne, and have run out on cages as well (which is something most sorting facilities use) - having to use pallets slows down the process more! Hope...

Mmmmm good idea! If you ever receive a copy that has distortion/noise on Side A (on the track Bring Da Ruckus), can you post both the videos on here too, just to see the comparison? I'm getting my copy soon and will compare too, so I might post on here! This is legit my favourite Essentials...

I purchased The Story of Philadelphia Anthology and cannot wait to receive it! I've only got The O'Jays record, but am keen to upgrade the pressing I own! I'm so happy with the pressing details of this Anthology, particularly with the fact that they are AAA, pressed at RTI and are mastered by...

Lmaooooooooooooooo! 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know that Leon Huff album either, but the self-titled The Three Degrees album is great! The production especially is impressive!

So what are the two albums on this anthology you are unfamiliar with?

Never again lmao! If I’m ever ordering for a group, I’m just going to get the food delivered, unless it’s really close by and I can just walk to pick it up! 😃 I still drive to places to pick up food but I eat it straight away in my car or at a seat close by as I always want to eat my food...

This is what I thought straight away! There’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back would be a tremendous Essentials ROTM! Like a lot of people, I’ve got the single LP pressing and would love the album to be reissued as a 2xLP pressing! The album is so compressed being on a single disc...

Omg, I want it so bad! Of course it would be better sounding than the VMP pressing! I’ve got that pressing but I’d love to upgrade to the One Step pressing! Discogs prices are so high, so I guess I’ve just missed out! I’ll be keeping my eye on this thread to make sure I see what the next Craft...

This is an excellent pressing and album, and I’m delighted to own a copy! However, I missed out on that Yusef Lateef Eastern Sounds One Step small batch pressing, and really wish I was quick enough to grab a copy! That album is a masterpiece and I can’t imagine how outstanding the Craft One Step...

Thank you so much for sharing this! I gave this album a listen earlier today and I am absolutely in love! This is my favourite album discovery in a while! I love it so much and that’s great to know this Craft Recordings reissue is an analog cut! I’m purchasing this as I know the pressing will...

I definitely want you to get Usher, because I think it’s very ‘out there’ for VMP to do such an R&B album for Essentials! And like you said, it’s a classic! I’m very happy that Confessions got included in the updated version for Rolling Stone’s top 500 albums of all-time! Also, I’ve got a...

All three upcoming Essentials ROTM’s?

Oh dear! At least there’s been more positive reviews for 36 Chambers than negative on Reddit! But still…it’s ridiculous! If there is a widespread issue on Fear Of Black Planet as well, then that’s just going to be problematic for both GZ and VMP! I wonder how much more this will have to...
