Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[Atvinyl]

It’s so good Mcherry! I listened to it yesterday and today and the records picked were all

The sound quality for the pressings, like The Motown VMP Anthology, are just so damn good! Quiet yet dynamic, punchy and lively and it just fills the room with such pure soulful energy!

You’re in for such a treat when you get it! It’s definitely my favourite Anthology so far!!!

Wow Anthology got to Australia before Portland, Oregon

Mmmmmm but I can see that a lot of people’s packages are stuck in New Jersey.

Usually everyone who lives in the U.S. gets their VMP boxes before mine!

 

[Bloodlemons]

Yeah, I am here near Seattle. My anthology has been in NJ for eleven days...

 

[bdm105]

Also in PNW also waiting. Weird. I'm going to probably post something in the facebook group if I don't see movement by wednesday. No mail tomorrow.

Episode 2 of the Podcast is up -> Vinyl Me, Please Anthology: The Story Of Stax Records

Did they send out an email about this? If they did, I didn’t get it.

Yeah. The day after the AMA / Unboxing is when I got mine.

If it’s any solace, my package finally moved last night after 11 days of no movement in Jersey City. It went to Smithtown NY, which is two hours away from me, as opposed to going from Jersey City which is 30 minutes from me to my house. It then went from Smithtown back to Jersey City. It might be moving in circles, but it’s finally moving...lol

that’s odd, the packages shipped from Smithtown originally.

I can’t make sense of this. It’s just going around in circles back to Jersey City. It departed Jersey City yesterday. Let’s see if it makes it to me this week.

 

[btf1980]

So my package just updated with a delivery date of the 24th. It’s moving slow and steady. Just a bit of hope for you guys waiting for packages that seem stuck in Jersey City.

 

[Snoddywilko]

It seems like Jersey City is the Bermuda Triangle of the U.S postal service.

I feel for you unlucky people. My Anthology took 5 days to reach me in England.

For what it’s worth: it’s definitely worth the wait!

I've already listened to all 8, they were too good to stop. I'll go back through with the podcasts and such, but this is shaping up to be the best product they've put out yet. Sadly, the recent turmoil will likely overshadow that. This could end being my fav box set in my whole collection.

Listening to the first podcast now.

I am trying to do this without spoilers, but what did you think about the Eddie Floyd? I was shocked in a good way by how great that one sounded, and how much the album slaps overall. Not a very well known album but a true gem! I've listened through the first 5 albums twice and I think that one and the Otis (obviously) are my favroites so far.

ya that's the least recognizable of the bunch, I wasn't aware of it, but stands up to the rest for sure.

I think the Bar-Kays and Albert are the highlights for me at the moment.

 

[McGlam]

I'm only up to record 4 but I'm really enjoying this set. Def the best thing VMP has been doing lately.

 

[bother]

The first two sound amazing. I can't wait to hear the rest. I agree that this might be their best antho so far.

 

[btf1980]

My Anthology set arrived today. It was slated for delivery on the 24th, but I came home to see it on the porch. The shipping box was a little beat up, but the set itself was in perfect condition. Will listen to it later in the week. Glad to have it in hand!

 

[NathanRicaud]

I've listened to the first 4, and I have to agree, I think this is even better than the Blue Note Anthology, which for all its shortcomings I thought sounded amazing.

How you liking that William Bell, btw?

I am absolutely loving that William Bell! I’m even more happy that it was the one I wanted the most, that ended up being chosen for this box

I love that some of the tracks have that investigative, New York spy sound like Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly! I love the last song so much! The Tamborine and violin and keys and the uplifting, lush, breezy tone of the song is just magical!

Yeah, the Blue Note Anthology was great sound quality but had so much QC issues! I definitely prefer the Stax and Motown Anthologies more!

 

[folsom_lives]

Tried to listen to these all in the order of the 'episodes', and all I can say is they only got better as I went. The Johnnie Taylor was spectacular and the William Bell and Eddie Floyd choices were great too.

 

[schrobiwan]

I'm still in shipping purgatory. Very jealous of y'all right now.
