VMP nailed the Shotgun Willie release. Agree with above post that this is the best sounding version out there, by a wide margin. This is my fourth copy, a couple of 70’s pressings, and the Rhino, and this destroys them. Great mastering - plenty of air around everything, and a really good balance...

The 2009 Rhino vinyl of Phases And Stages is really good. Not sure of the source, but my copy is the best sounding Willie album I have on vinyl, and I have quite a few. The 2009 Shotgun Willie was not nearly as good as it suffered from sibilance/distortion.

Some people are acting like getting a nice copy of Shotgun Willie is no big deal. It's been reissued once in the past 46 years, and that was in 2009 (the Rhino vinyl). And NM copies go for $70-$80, and the old ones are by no means great pressings. I'm super excited about the VMP version coming...
