TYLER STOUT X VMP SLIPMAT #0001

Did he actually sell off his collection though? I remember him offering it for some ridiculous price and saying local pickup only, and then getting annoyed when people asked if he'd sell individual records.Enoch was a forum user back in the day. He had a complete VMP collection. Every single rotm, every single exclusive. I believe he sold off his collection and stopped posting around the same time.
Interesting...I have all but two of these (Chico and Lorez), but I wouldn't say "definitive" copies of any. Going to be a tough call on this.Great find from @Skalap
The John Coltrane Quartet - Africa/Brass (1961)
The New Amazing Chico Hamilton Quintet – Passin' Thru (1963)
Lorez Alexandria – Alexandria The Great (1964)
Charles Mingus– Mingus Plays Piano: Spontaneous Compositions And Improvisations (1964)
Gabor Szabo – Jazz Raga (1967)
Mel Brown - Chicken Fat (1967)
Pharoah Sanders - Karma (1969)
Alice Coltrane - Ptah the El Daoud (1970)
Hasnt half of this boxset already been reissued elsewhere?Great find from @Skalap

For sure - more than half even, but mostly budget-type reissues:Hasnt half of this boxset already been reissued elsewhere?

It was definitely an odd situation. I remember getting super annoyed anytime VMP pressed something he didn't like, like it was their fault

I think they are just aiming to do all their ROTM tracks and then anything else is a bonus for them, if they even take that on. I don't see them pressing much outside of their ROTMs at the new plant though.Misconceptions about what the VMP press will and won’t do are still lots of fun. There is no way ever that they do all of their variants in house.
The definition of Lost Sounds Found.For sure - more than half even, but mostly budget-type reissues:
- Mingus - Superior Viaduct did one that's okay at best (nowhere near their great version of Black Saint)
- Szabo - LITA did a decent version. I think it's a Rainbo pressing, but my copy sounds fine
- Mel Brown - recent Verve reissue done at Third Man
- Karma - Chad did this one, I assume it's a good one
- Alice - recent Verve reissue done at Third Man
I think it will eventually be a new track plus store drops plus posters. seems they have brought the mondo folks in to help be involved in LOTS Of vmp stuff including packaging, art prints, etc.
To be fair, if they step up their game with their own pressing plant and start offering some nice alternative packaging, this could be a great and positive change. It will also means another $20 to be added to every new "exclusive".
