Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Supposedly most of the albums will get a re-release within the next year. Someone reached out to Econ and he supposedly said all the Now-Again titles will get released.

Oh neat that's way better. I assume they'll probably be cheaper but also lower quality packaging and pressed wherever now again does its standard releases. Still though that's better than no music.

Hoping the Herbie set has a high quality release of Thrust. That would push me to pick up a set day 1.

I really, really hope we get Thrust in that Herbie Hancock Boxset too! I have the Music On Vinyl pressing which is good, but I want a spectacular pressing of it! I love Thrust so much! It’s definitely one of my favourite Herbie Hancock albums!

Some Now-Again pressings are around $25 so will be interesting to see which get a repress soon. None of these are color vinyl so could see a lot of people be disappointed if it’s cheaper to buy in non-box form.

This is so awesome. I'm curious what the albums will be? Based on what hasn't had a recent reissues, here are my guesses:

Blue Note Leader (Edit: Empyrean Isles)
Miles' 2nd Quintet (Miles in the Sky)
Jazz-Funk Fusion (Sextant or Thrust?)
VSOP (VSOP)
80s/90s Herbie (Future Shock)
Elder Statesman Herbie (Gershwin's World)

I love some of these picks. I esp hope we get Point of View since Empyrean got a Music Matters release. Also think Miles in the Sky may be out too due to the mofi release. Moreover, I bet they focus on albums where Herbie's the main billing anyhow. Speak like a Child is still in stock with MM albeit for $100.

I think they'll discuss those eras but use his trajectory through the different labels/catalogs as guideposts, one would think 2 from each - Blue Note, Warner Brothers, Columbia and Verve. But, with the WB stint so brief, it could be heavier on one of the others. And, the WB releases all got recent MOV pressings.

Here's some that need reissues anyhow and aren't ones I frequently see in bargain bins:

Blue Note - Point of View

WB - (these got MOV releases last year or so)

Colombia/CBS - Directstep and The Piano (both need RE and represent his time recording Japan), VSOP (needs RE), Feats Don't Fail me Now (disco era; no LP RE since 79), Magic Windows (no RE since release in 81); The Quartet (no LP RE since 1982), Perfect Machine (Laswell, Collins period, no US LP, and the most divisive to be sure)

Verve - The New Standard (no LP, only South Korea); River: The Joni Letters (no US LP release, just euro 07)


I'm thinking its along the lines of:
Point of View (1963)
-(this jump bothers me, my hunch is its got to be something in this time frame and not the Quartet below)
VSOP (1977)
Directstep (1979)
- The Quartet (1982, recorded 81)
Magic Windows (1981)
Perfect Machine (1988)
The New Standard (1996)
The Joni Letters (2007)

I doubt Point of view will be included, since it will be reissued in the Tone Poet series later this year
 
I would be surprised if Point of View was in the box since it is an upcoming Tone Poet release. But being focused on one artist, it does mean the pool is much smaller to draw on. I think there will have to be 2 or even 3 titles that are already recent reissues.
 
I have movement in informed delivery on a Century Direct LLC package from Smithtown/Melville, NY. Zamrock?
Anyone else?
 
That one popped up on April 30th for me. I've got quite a few vinyl orders floating out there in the aether, so I wasn't sure what it was. This confirms it.
It's still in pre-shipment for me. Just checked.
 
I have that also - pretty sure that looks familiar from Stax as well. No movement on mine either, but pretty sure that's it!
 
I just jumped on here to check on Zamrock...looks like people have been getting updates about that and Herbie...I've gotten no emails about either.

No updated from VMP on either. We can see that it's shipped via USPS informed delivery and knowing where the last ones come from.
Herbie isnt until Summer so I wouldnt expect any new update on that until next month at the earliest.
 
I do hope they actually send out tracking information when these ship, being in Canada I don't have informed delivery and I'm not sure I want such an expensive box just sitting out for everyone to see!
 
I've got...crickets? Nothing from any source. I am pretty sure I have gotten removed from the mailing list somehow as the last update I got about anything was in late March. Definitely no shipping labels, although I got notice today that they are shipping the Essentials and Classics add on already? Anyone else got that? Definitely nothing about my main man, Herbie.
