I have all of them except for Getz/Byrd, which I have an OP and didn't like enough to have 2 copies (see rankings from my previous post).
I have all of them so far.

i got em. Almost missed blossom but luckily came in at the last minute and cancelled the swap
I'm listening to Eddie Floyd's Knock on Wood right now and loving it... but man it sounds really bad. Just super compressed. Is it just me or is this a bad pressing? or it this just how this record sounds? I'd try and find a better pressing if the originals sound better (or if new reissues sound better).

Yep. Hard to believe it's been going for over two years now...

Me! I started with Ollie then went back and picked up JLH and Archie.

With all the animosity the last few months, I didn't think we were that many from the start that stuck it out. It's pretty much the only track I'm still in (for now), though I'll dip into the others if something strikes my fancy. The variety & genres in Classics are completely in my wheelhouse. Plus pressing quality has been great this year.
Yes! The best Classics to me are the ones that I wouldn't have normally picked up on my own. Ones like Blossom Dearie, Donald Byrd, William Bell, Little Milton. That's why I'm always blown away by the Classics pick. They're usually never bad.
I'm listening to Fancy Free right now.

I didnt' subscribe until the Muddy Waters album was announced (the youtube video for it got me) so a lot of the back catalog of classics was sold out before I had the chance to nab them. Really wish I could've gotten the chance to grab the John Lee Hooker and Jazz Samba releases.

I'm just missing JLH. Really bummed that didn't get a repress like Archie Shepp
Yeah, this one should get a repress, I have a feeling that it would sell pretty quickly too
Just get the 2LP 45 AP version. It's better.
Although it might be out of print now...

I have them all up through Willie Bobo - might rejoin at some point to scoop up the last few months, but I'm enjoying not being a VMP member anymore. I also still have dozens of records I've bought but haven't spun yet.

I have the full set, but took a lot of backlog trading and tracking down. I was pretty late to the game. Grabbed Miles and Coltrane first. Then didnt get another until Blossom Dearie and the Shepp re-press. Swaps, Trades and Bespoke Post were my friends
