- 2024 has its early entry for worst vinyl cash grab of the year - courtesy of John Coltrane and Vinyl Me, Please!
In this video, we explore the recently announced Vinyl Me, Please 8 LP Box Set of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme and how the box is really just a repackaging of easy to find, questionable quality, records!
‘A Love Supreme’ 8LP box set is now available for pre-order, including the complete album, two live albums and outtakes together on vinyl for the first time ever. - Hudba
When I got VMP’s email announcing this release, my jaw dropped. I actually cannot believe they’re releasing this thing. The world definitely does not need yet another super ultra deluxe limited remastered expanded remixed revamped repackaged edition of this f*cking album. Analogue Productions JUST released a $125+ UHQR for God’s sake, not to mention the mass-market remastered edition and all the “audiophile” editions before that.
There are SO many great albums out there that deserve this kind of lavish treatment. We don’t need the 87th super deluxe edition of the same album yet again.
Thanks for this excellent analysis /dissection of this box set. Very helpful to know. Great video!
I can see some folks wanting this that really love the album, but for most people I think your analysis is pretty spot on. - Chris
VMP makes a lot of dumb decisions and this was up there for me. Talk about milking a cow after it’s already been milked to death. Put that up there with John Michael Montgomery.
Automatic avoid. Thanks for this analysis
I have the UHQR, who needs this? No one
Agreed! Overkill. No more A Love Supreme!!! VMP is notorious for overpricing these boxsets. I hope this doesn’t become a trend in jazz vinyl.
the plant was sued by VMP (turns out they didn't own the plant) and its been moved to furnace or RTI.... i still like VMP for a lot of the stuff they own... but I immediately thought "wait a minute this is mostly just a compilation of everything else"
Hell, the CD is $100.00 on amazon...
But the poster! And the photo! - sold separately 😂 Kidding aside this feels like an unnecessary “big” project.
I vote with my dollars. I refuse buy LPs/box sets, where the only "added value" is alternate takes that weren't good enough to make it onto the original album. I don't mind paying for an artist's best effort. But I don't want pay JUST to hear them "practice getting it right". That is what a documentary film is for,.
This rant is 100% spot on. Has VMP finally jumped the shark?
Finally?? They jumped the shark years ago.
Good take. Similar thoughts here…
Thank for watching! I love your channel!
Maybe I’m the only one who thinks Live in Seattle is fantastic?
It's a fantastic bit of history...not the place to start one's Coltrane journey but go in knowing the circumstances of it's recording and it's totally enjoyable.
Had the runs 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for acknowledging my terrible jokes haha!
I think this upcoming Dark Side of the Moon 2 disc UV edition is a bigger offender as far as cash grab of the year goes
You may be right!
I disagree on that. Its 2 discs to accommodate silk screened visual art on clear vinyl, one side each disc is blank to hold the silk screen. Its a collectors and probably will go up in value. 50 bucks so that $25 per disc. This isn't the usual plastic used on picture discs, its pressed on standard vinyl
@@Peoria19581 I read the write up also, I know what it is. While not technically the same material as a normal picture disc it is definitely a glorified double picture disc. You are right though, it’s a manufactured collectible and will probably increase in value. I don’t buy records for that purpose though.
@@breaknrun76 "...will probably increase in value. I don’t buy records for that purpose though". If you get lucky, it'll be both increase in value and enjoyment because you just like the record. Otherwise vinyl is like a car, it looses value (usually) as soon as you put it on the turntable. Of course ones personal value for it is another matter. Then there's record store day flippers. 30 bucks on RSD....6 hours later some greedy non record collector is trying to flip it for $300 on ebay
This is for people new to vinyl and new to hearing about the classics that everyone in vinyl talks about. This box set is for people who have Adele and Taylor swift records friend
$400 for an into to the classics?!?!
I agree with most of what you said, but don’t understand why you would feel upset about it. Just don’t buy it.
Because some people aren’t happy unless they’re complaining about some goofy-ass first world problem every five minutes
I think that what he is saying is that it is unnecessary and a little misleading. Great video imo.
you completely missed the point lol. Its cringe that companies try to bribe gullible people like this
@@bobsbigboy_ There is nothing unusually "cringe" about it. This sort of thing has been going on for decades, if not centuries. "Caveat emptor" - buyer beware. Quit whining and be less gullible.
