Maybe the long rumored "more Fiona" comes in the form of an anthology...

Some lost recordings album
A new album
This is a Complete Recordings set, and if it happens it will not be from VMP.
Really? Like what? Just curious.I just wanted to take a moment and point out that this is not a VMP original idea. They just marketed in a way to make it sound meaningful and unique. I’ve purchased a number of box sets over the years that came in pieces.
We’re probably getting the box and liners and no records.Lol, hoping this description of part 3's contents is just another one of their mistakes

I bought a box of three special edition U2 albums and there was space for the fourth that I had to buy later. Sounds Delicious is going to have a box at some point. JNR retroactively created a box for their white series (though you had to buy it separately)Really? Like what? Just curious.
I'm in the same boat. I have a long way to go on my yearly sub unfortunately, but since the forum closed down I've realized just how little I've utilized VMP in the last year or so. If you don't count the FlyLo bundle, I can barely remember the last time I actually liked one of their exclusives enough to pay for it (I think it was Slowdive, which seems like eons ago). On top of that, I think I've kept maybe half of the AOTM and Classics offerings in the past year? I joined in 2015 and those early years were fantastic for me as far as curation goes, but it's been really lacking for quite a while. And with the alarming execution problems of "game changing" products like Anthology, I'm really really questioning the value of staying a member.
So basically they need to start showing me a noticeable uptick in membership value in my remaining subscription months. Otherwise, one or two gems a year isn't worth the hassle of selling half of my monthly boxes on Discogs because there's nothing left to swap for, and I'm not springing for the extra offerings like Anthology... I doubt it's going to happen though. It was great for me when CJ was the primary curator, but hasn't been at that level for a long time IMO. I just don't think I'm aligned enough with the musical tastes of Storf and whomever else is picking things these days.
I rejoined for Van Morrison because I got an offer that was get a free record if you rejoin now, so I grabbed Feist and Van Mo. Now, it seems that for the most part, a large majority of VMP records can be purchased from other people either on reddit or discogs for $23 or so. Unless there's some really huge release like Fiona or Channel Orange, I don't see myself going back anytime soon.Yep my thoughts exactly. I used to be on the forums all the time. I used to be so excited to hear what they were going to do next. My interaction with VMP has dropped off by a huge amount. Now every month my reaction is almost always, ehh. I was pretty excited for Queen, then my copy really doesn't sound great. I was also happy with the Fly lo and Van Morrison picks, but have any of those really been worth the price tag? As of now I'm leaning towards no. If they have a bunch of heavy hitters coming up I could change my mind, but they really have to be great picks with no major issues. As you said I'm definitely not putting up the coin for something like Anthology, especially with the quality control issues.
If they put out a salsa anthology it damn well better come with chips and guacamole.
It's one of my favorite jazz albums. It's a shame that it hasn't been repressed in 20 or so years prior to Anthology.I had a deeper listen to the Schizophrenia this morning. Man this is a really great album. I slept on it when bought the CD in high school. They really take some time to stretch the harmonies. In Kryptonite, Ron even stays on one note for Wayne’s and then into Herbie’s solo. It’s like he’s meditating. Finally Herbie prods him into action mid way through his solo.
The Latin anthology will be a shipment of chips in a bag labeled crackers and the next two shipments will be mystery dips to be revealed later.If they put out a salsa anthology it damn well better come with chips and guacamole.
Sounds Delicious is going to have a box at some point.
you mean everything south of whitedom (US) isn't the same thing, eat the same things, and act the same way?You are mixing a lot of different Latin cultures here.

No, it's not. It's my fictional VMP anthology.
