What? I don’t think anything was changed with 3 feet (but then I’m an idiot and know nothing)

Blue Note vol 2, Archie Shepp repress, Zamrock vol 2. I'm sure there's a lot more examples. Limited almost never means limited for them and it's one of my biggest complaints for how they operate.

Have people been planting this record in their front yards or something?
The Alicia Keyes box says something like ‘this first run will have 1000 pressings’ which is far more acceptable than the old ‘and if we press anymore than 1000 the earth will explode.
Cue VMP pressing another 20000 and the earth (rather frustratingly) not exploding. Which make me as a punter feel like a right mug.

The old Lee Newman would have known.

They didn’t say when the earth would explode to be fair. In 7.5 billion years, if the sun doesn’t swallow the planet you have every right to a refund.
I’m planning on hanging around on principle too… just in case

I'm fine with that all about transparency

You have to assume that even if the VMP pressings are done after this that his camp/label are going to press his catalog like wildfire once they see these sales numbers.
That said, I'll probably FOMO my way into all four VMP releases because I'm a sucker.

I mean they’ve done them all before and they’ve performed well for VMP every time. You think they would’ve already jumped on it.

Yeah, with Barter 6 being $600+ on cogs, I can't imagine someone in his camp hasn't suggested it. Not sure why they wouldn't do it.
Storf in discord claims the label has no plans to press them again. Take that however you wish.

To be fair, I do have an original '89 pressing of 3ft that I have since retired, but the differences in samples are so subtle it's easy to overlook too.

I imagine that his camp has some uh other priorities at the moment…

This is a cool one. Been pushing for them to do more Toussaint. They are looking into Southern Nights too as future ROTM

this would be an instant buy. the last time I found an original of this in the wild was 2005 and grading it F would have been generous

yep. i've been requesting it for them for a year or two and storf mentioned a few weeks ago that they wanna do it and are looking into it. so fingers crossed! even the crappy 4MWB reissue goes for pretty big money last i looked.

Definitely excited about The Bright Mississippi. The album has a who’s who of New Orleans musicians playing some beautiful music. It also has great sound and imaging (I’ve used this as a demo disc and to audition new speakers). Really looking forward to what RKS can do with this one.The Bright Mississippi

Not too many AAA albums recorded in 2008. This album is fairly new.
