We can still hope for both
So this, a good selection but 55$ per disc is definitely ust too much for meFolk from vanguard could be a potentially interesting anthology.
But I said this a couple of times before about announced anthologies until the price tag killed my interest
when they do a color version I kinda assume a black vinyl version will eventually come too.It feels kind of weird having these on color vinyl. I probably wouldn’t have bought it anyway but like others have said, black vinyl pressed at RTI or QRP would’ve been a better fit imo. Great music but it’s a pass.
I don't think VMP has ever given a "discount" for a box set and it's been the criticism mostly pricing-wise. Wasn't this pretty much the same price as the Blue Note Anthology (Except there it was 6 albums but 7 LPs?). I honestly can't remember the price on that one.I need more Odetta, but I'm not going for this. Call me strange but I want a box set to be cheaper than buying the records individually. I don't want all of these albums. Having said that, that's why I keep missing out on Anthologies & regretting it.
Wasn't the Herbie set, $40 a record & pressed at GZ? Isn't that par fr the courses with these anthologies?
Yup, Blue Note was the same price, though it was $50 shipping/customs from InternationalistsI don't think VMP has ever given a "discount" for a box set and it's been the criticism mostly pricing-wise.

but the COLORS!I can't justify any more Anthologies as long as they keep using GZ.
Same, there were like 10 seconds where I was ready to risk it all, then I saw the color vinyl and GZ. Immediately closed out of the window.but the COLORS!
if this had been RTI and black vinyl I probably would have gotten it to be honest.

I don't get it, these Anthologies were great without the gimmicks and shortcuts. I love my Blue Note and Stax boxes.
I was being sarcastic about the colors, but wouldn't be shocked if the colored vinyl is part of the "exclusivity" and is part of why they were allowed to do these box sets. Or mono vs stereo. Craft does a similar thing for RSD day--they will release something like Quiet Kenny or Chet Baker in mono as an exclusive and then release a wide release of the stereo version later.Colored vinyl for some music is fun but for quiet historical acoustic folk, jazz, and blues a high quality black vinyl pressed to limit surface noise would seem to be a much better fit.
That has gone down to 40$ for intlYup, Blue Note was the same price, though it was $50 shipping/customs from Internationalists
