It's crazy. Usually, I would be all over these releases and even when they are higher priced than usual I can justify it with the free shipping. But hells bells this is taking the piss.
Happy it's not a comp and I feel no pressure to get these on colored wax.

That Norman Feels is on LITA for $22 in standard black for anyone who doesn’t care about color variants.Norman Feels and Kool and the Gang's first album are also both in the store at "slightly" more reasonable prices. But yeah I just find myself getting more and more turned off from VMP with these ridiculous prices.
Hopefully by that point, there are standard pressings as well. The Idris Muhammed has been out of print for years now.Good thing all five Jazz Dispensary are limited to 1,000 copies each! They should all be in stock for a while and will all probably go on sale!
I’m not even convinced these are great albums. To be fair, I’ve only heard the David Axlerod one and it’s just alright. I’ll have to stream them to see if I want to try to pick them up in the future from Craft.Same, I got really excited when I saw the email--- but I don't care how good these titles are, I'm not rewarding this kind of pricing. It's just stupid.
I’m a huge jazz dispensary fan having all their previous renewed but...yeah can’t pay this crapSeriously.... Like... seriously... c'mon... I've currently got three Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf pressings, which is essentially their version of AP or Mofi. They were all mastered by Gray at Cohearant and pressed at QRP and they each cost me about $32 CAD new. That's about $23 USD each. These aren't even pressed at QRP, and they want double the price for them? Guys please do not buy these... Don't reward this kind of pricing... It's highway robbery.
Honestly, its a great selection which I can't fault musically. The Idris Muhammed has been out of print for ages and the Jack DeJohnette is one which I have actually hunted for in the past. I am unfamiliar with the Leon Spencer and Bernard Purdie but from a quick stream of each they are super soulful and funky.I’m not even convinced these are great albums.

I think David Axelrod’s Heavy Axe is great actually! I really like that album! I think the production on that album is immaculate!I’m not even convinced these are great albums.

I'm proud of you @NathanRicaud.I think David Axelrod’s Heavy Axe is great actually! I really like that album! I think the production on that album is immaculate!
Still, the USD$45 price tag is way too high! I’m going to wait until these go on sale or if there is a coupon code!

If they were all limited to 300 copies, I would buy the Jazz Dispensary exclusives however as they’re all AAA, Kevin Gray titles pressed at RTI!
