“
Establishing the first stand-up venue of its kind proved arduous. Mitzi oversaw the business and staff, booked lineups, worked the ticket booth, scrubbed the bathrooms, created a development system, harangued/charmed reps and execs via phone and nursed talent through obstacles from homesickness to addiction. Mitzi became known as The Godmother of Comedy to generations of talent that would include Richard Pryor, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Keaton, Freddie Prinze, Arsenio Hall, Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay, John Witherspoon, Paul Mooney, Howie Mandel, Garry Shandling, Byron Allen, Richard Lewis, George Wallace, Roseanne Barr, Damon Wayans, Bob Saget, Louie Anderson and Cheech & Chong. Her artists’ colony welcomed trial and error, with an alluring undercurrent of anarchy.

Get The Whole Story….

VMP Anthology goes beyond the five albums included in your box. Alongside your box and the albums within it, we provide in-depth, original Listening Notes and a digestible multi-episode podcast to serve as your definitive guide through these records. VMP Anthology isn’t just a box set that’s supposed to gather dust on your shelves — it’s an immersive and transformative story that comes alive for you to spend weeks (or longer!) inside of.

FAQS

Got a question?

VMP Anthology is the vinyl box set, reinvented. It aims to use music to tell a story, and gives space for lots of listening, learning, and conversation along the way.
VMP started as a record of the month club in 2013 and has expanded into an online record store and magazine.
Shipping is free in the U.S. and $20 internationally. Records will be sent in one shipment. Orders are expected to ship in December 2022. Timeline is subject to change. We will notify you of any shipping updates.
We created VMP Anthology for people who recognize that every album has a deep story to tell. By breaking up the albums, we give you space to truly listen and absorb each individual recording, listen to the podcast and soak it in. Of course, this is just a suggestion!
Nope! We built VMP Anthology as a way for all fans to experience music more deeply, and VMP membership is not required.
Yes, shipping is available in 16 countries in addition to the U.S. (view all FAQs for more details). Due to the box value and carrier constraints, international customers are responsible for customs and duties. When shipping to a country that is subject to VAT, this will also be due upon receipt.
Afterpay is an interest-free financing option that allows you to make four bi-weekly (every two weeks) installment payments rather than one upfront payment. If you choose Afterpay at checkout, you will be redirected to the Afterpay site to create an account and to complete your payment. You won’t be charged any interest or fees, as long as your payments are made on time. At this time, Afterpay is only available for customers in the United States.
To get the Member Price, you must be an active VMP Member for our monthly record subscription (and make sure you are logged in).
