Unboxing VMP Anthology: 'The Story of Cadet Records'

Now Shipping! VMP Anthology: The Story of Cadet Records: a limited-edition vinyl box set featuring eight albums of boundary pushing, deep-cut jazz, blues and soul music. The Story of Cadet Records takes listeners on an immersive journey through the brief heyday of the Chicago label, a subsidiary of Chess Records that launched the careers of everyone from Minnie Riperton to Earth, Wind and Fire.

A story told through eight albums featuring legends like Etta James, Dorothy Ashby, Muddy Waters and Ramsey Lewis, and cratedigger classics by Harold Land, Terry Callier, Shades Of Brown and the New Rotary Connection, these albums tear down the walls between jazz, blues and soul.
