Honestly, I have all these albums.

And I love the smell of an old vinyl cover more than a new one.

(Well it depends on which release... )

No need for this fancy package for me though it looks awesome.

-They could've put two more albums to this package though.

10 would've been better.

They could've added any Trammps, Loleatta Holoway, First Choice albums to it.

Still nice to see this being released.

I wish they would do a Shaft soundtrack re issue. I would pay the vaunted ridiculous new vinyl price for that one. I still have my father's copy. Amazingly no skips but the pops and clicks are noticeable.

I love Cafe Regio's. Just such a smooth relaxing instrumental that you can just sit back and drink tea or a nice beer.

^^did any of you get the Beatles 'Let It Be' Super Deluxe edition yet? I'm still trying to decide if I should get the CD or the vinyl version.Decisions,decisions,lol

I went with the regular edition Vinyl and then the CD super deluxe . Mainly I usually do this because there is a big difference in the $$ of the Vinyl deluxes obviously and most of the time the bonus are demos and takes and half takes etc...and I don't feel the need to have that on Vinyl so I stick with the regular album, and deluxe or super deluxe issues. I did this with Prince Sign O the times, all the Lennon issues and previous Beatles ones and others.

I think I'm just gonna get the CD super deluxe edition....for now I might change my mind later and get the vinyl set.I will be getting the picture disc vinyl.I can never resist those.

speaking of soundtracks....there is a recently released Superfly soundtrack on red vinyl.I'm thinking about getting that.I think it's on Rhino Records.I used to have an old vinyl copy from the 70s but it's probably time to upgrade,dontcha think?

Vinyl Me Please Chronicles "The Story of Quincy Jones" on New Anthology Box Set

Fly Me to the Moon: Vinyl...econd Disc

Following the recent announcement of an Anthology box set for the Philadelphia International Records, record club Vinyl Me, Please has turned its attention to one of music's most famous multi-hyphenate talents: Quincy Jones. The multi-instrumentalist-composer-producer-arranger-conductor's credits are too numerous to mention, but VMP's Anthology - due in January 2022 - provides a career overview bookended by two of his most acclaimed jazz recordings.

The 12-LP box set The Story of Quincy Jones Anthology is produced in cooperation with Quincy Jones Productions and is cross-licensed from labels including Universal and Warner. The box contains newly remastered versions of the following albums:

• Quincy Jones, This Is How I Feel About Jazz (ABC-Paramount, 1957);
• Frank Sinatra, Sinatra at The Sands (Reprise, 1966, 2 LPs);
• Quincy Jones, Walking in Space (A&M, 1969);
• Quincy Jones, Body Heat (A&M, 1974);
• The Wiz: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Motown/MCA, 1978, 2 LPs);
• Quincy Jones, The Dude (A&M, 1981);
• Quincy Jones, Back on the Block (Qwest/Warner Bros., 1989, 2 LPs); and
• Miles Davis and Quincy Jones, Live at Montreux (Warner Bros., 1993, 2 LPs).

I'm getting a bit tired of these colored (re)releases.

I feel that the cow is being milked and milked.

Don't get me wrong, I bought a lot already, but somehow I start to feel cheated.

They actually never add something tot the 'musical' value of it all.

They often state the music is remastered, and it is not always the case.

It's just a new print in new vinyl and that alone sounds often better, i have to admid.

Basically no new music, no extras, just rarely some added info, a short text or something.

Again, happy for some re-releases that were difficult to find.

But like a colleciton of Miles Davis older albums with new artwork by some fotographer... I don't know.

Fells like quick money grabbing.

Is this the end of vinyl releases as we know it ?

-

Same with the Prince rereleases... Always that pruple colour.

And it even isn't the right purple.

The only right pruplr was the one used for the 1984 release of Pruple Rain imho.

-

Why can't they be more creative and original ?

It's a yellow colored vinyl album

Sun is such an underrated band.So many great uptempo jams ("Sun Is Here","Radiation Level") but also some fine slow jams ("I Had A Choice","Baby I Confess").

Wish the booklet had more photos and info though....the credits for the album "With You" are missing. Now if they'd only do this for her Motown output!

my favorite Stacy Lattisaw album is 1982's 'Sneakin' Out',a very nice,fun early 80s R&B album .This album contains the funky,playful "Attack Of The Name Game",which is sorta like early rap.It also includes an excellent old school remake "Hey There Lonely Boy" and the dreamy closing ballad "I Could Love You So Divine".Her strongest,most consistent album imo.

Yeah I'm torn between With You & Sneakin' Out being my favorite albums of hers, followed by

Take Me All The Way (which is Motown) then Sixteen and Let Me Be Your Angel

as a huge Earth Wind & Fire fan,I of course have all of their albums and I don't really need any more compilations by them however,this one does look tempting.It contains some rare tracks by associated artists that aren't always easy to find.I'm keeping my eye on this one
