I'm surprised Barry thought the guitars in voodoo should be THIS bright

Hmmm, might have to try my luck again at getting that previous subscribers' discount back...

I’m happy it made it back safely! It was basically the dream scenario as far as Vinyl Flat fixes go.

Yeah, as annoying as it was that it had to come to this, I'm glad it worked out in the end. Plus, you got yourself a kickass sounding (and now presumably flat) copy of Head Hunters for yourself!
And I still have two more warped copies taking up space.

I am sure you could throw them up on the PIF thread and they’d be snatched up fast then you could claim a couple LPs to replace em.Yeah, as annoying as it was that it had to come to this, I'm glad it worked out in the end.

Have to echo others’ opinions on the Metal Blade set. Overall I am disappointed. The mastering varies from bad to alright. I was initially fine with it, but after listening to everything I just feel sort of ripped off. It doesn’t seem the same level of care and attention was put into the set compared to the others I’ve picked up (Tribe and Herbie).
I enjoyed the music a lot. I still think the albums they picked are great (except for Fates Warning, that one is a little tough to get into for me). But it’s a bummer the level of quality dropped significantly but the price point remained the same.

It really really feels like VMP outsourced the actual production of the records to Metal Blade and just stuck them in their box. It's very dissapointing, especially givin the main selling point for me was the high production value of past sets.
But isn't that what they generally do except for their rotms?
For the last ones I am frankly not sure if the top quality of the lps comes from vmp or from working with (mostly jazz) labels that price record fidelity higher themselves. Wasn't the ghostly international release also basically coloured versions of records the label put outin parallel
I was graduating college at that time and wasn't paying attention to vmp- but I think you're right. Pretty lazy from vmp but I don't know what else to expect at this point...guess the high quality of the last couple ones combined with my love of Metal Blade's discography got me too excited.

Finally getting to the metal blade box. No QR code for the podcasts?
I’ve been slowly working my way through the Herbie box set… impressed with the overall packaging - solid box and sleeves, everything on the turntable plays flat (enough), and after going through the RCM plays clean as well.
The only issue I’ve had was with side one of The Piano. The sibilance made it mostly unlistenable. Uploaded a video to CS and they had a replacement on the way in less than 24 hours.
On the metal blade front, I’m interested in picking this up, but the reviews so far are telling me to put my $$$ elsewhere
