How do replacements work on an anthology? Five of my albums are atrocious, and makes me regret spending money on this set.
Except that they will not package them properly. A replacement disc will come in a paper sleeve and a replacement jacket will have no shrink on it. I have never received a replacement jacket that is in better shape than the original defective jacket from VMP. Sleeves on the discs have been in rough shape as well. I get that they donāt want to send people things that they donāt need like a jacket if you have a disc issue or vice versa, but they need to packages those shipments way better if that is how they are going to play it.Same way as any VMP purchase, just fill out the form and they send you replacement discs
Yeah, I definitely leaned a little bit towards stuff I didn't have here (I only have Africa/Brass and Black Unity on my list). The Awakening is a really good choice - I was thinking it got a nice reissue recently, but I just checked Discogs to see what it was going for...Apart from the fact I five of those already, that would be a pretty nice set ā It's Time and Spellbinder are both on my current wantlist.
Really hoping they will include The Awakening by Ahmad Jamal, though, and I think I'd rather they do The Wizard over Chicken Fat... if only because it's the one I don't have!
Think thereās any chance of Mingus Plays Piano?My guess based on this info (and other VMP history). And a little of my own wishlist.
JC - Africa/Brass (1961)
Max Roach - Itās Time (1962)
Lorez Alexandria - Alexandria the Great (1964)
Gabor Szabo - Spellbinder (1966)
Mel Brown - Chicken Fat (1967)
Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju (1968)
Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity (1971)
Alice Coltrane - World Galaxy (1972)

What a killer record. I have an early pressing of it that I snagged on eBay years ago and give it pretty frequent spins. I feel like itās a highly underrated record.Think thereās any chance of Mingus Plays Piano?
Yeah, I love that one. Iāve got the Superior Viaduct reissue.Think thereās any chance of Mingus Plays Piano?
If they could get The Awakening, that would be HUGE. It's insane how hard that album is to track down and how pricey it is.Yeah, I love that one. Iāve got the Superior Viaduct reissue.
It probably does make sense to do a piano record in the set, whether itās this one, Jamal, or Tyner.
I might go this way too but just depends on which ones I'm missing and what the price is. I'm missing a lot of Impulse pressings so if at least half are ones i like and don't have, I may just sell the older pressings I have.As much as I would love an Impulse! box set, if is primarily albums I already have, I may just put the cost of the box toward clean originals or Japanese pressings of the things Iām missing.
with current inflation, a 2023 impulse anthology might be the first over 500$

that's just spanish slang for 'let's dance'....that label's catalog is kind of all over the place, i'm really curious what the focus of this one is going to be (besides danceable music)
1) indie Latin label formed by an excile from the most famous Latin label of all time. Person who went on their owns records became crate digger classics

Hope this is not the case or I am definitely out on the Impulse boxDid any international customers that ordered the Willie Nelson box get hit with a duty charge?
According to Reddit VMP changed their shipping policy and now donāt declare duty paid so they were offering store credit for the āshipping and dutyā fee they charge on international boxes!
I donāt care if I have to pay duty, up front or when it arrives, I do hate the extra charges DHL hits you with!!
Just wondering if itās worth getting the next anthology, sounds up my alley, or because itās with Now Again just waiting for them to be released individually in a yearā¦
