VMP Anthology goes beyond the eight albums included in your box. In 2020, we delved into the Zamrock scene: finding the last musicians left standing, researching, documenting and legitimately reissuing the uber-rare albums originally released in Zambia’s cities in the 1970s. After the first edition sold out in just over a month, we’re excited to announce a repress of The Story of Zamrock. We’re bringing our audience another chance to own the same incredible Zamrock records, with a brand new, updated box design.

What's Included?
HOW WAS THE AUDIO SOURCED?
All eight albums in this VMP Anthology were lovingly remastered and restored from the original masters by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters, and pressed on heavyweight 180 gram black vinyl. These albums have never sounded better than they do in this box set.
PODCAST AND LISTENING NOTES
Become a Zamrock expert. We created VMP Anthology for people who recognize that every album has a story to tell. We give you the space and resources to truly listen and absorb each individual recording, listen to the podcast, read the Listening Notes booklet and watch the mini-documentary.
FAQs
Got a question?
VMP is operating in a constrained macroeconomic environment due to supply chain shortages across the board. Everything is in shortage: From the wood pulp that’s used in the manufacturing of our slipcases and liner notes booklets, to the truck drivers who deliver our records safely to our warehouse after they’ve made their cross-Atlantic voyage from the Czech Republic. Shortages cause a rise in costs, which affect the way we do business.
We are so thrilled to be able to bring the music of Zamrock to a wider audience. In order to do so — and not sacrifice on quality — we have increased the pricing from our original release two years ago.
