Oh yeah. They’re fairly unapologetic. Just “how it works.”

What is Hobson Archive?

Michael Hobson founded Classic Records. He kept a personal archive of multiple copies of every album they pressed plus test pressings of unreleased albums. You'll sometimes see them on eBay too.

Some of these are outrageously priced even if it were on discogs. That said, someone here better pick this one up, best price you'll probably ever see

They don't update in real time, so I'll believe this deal when I see the shipping notice.
I was trying to check out there but it would not let me enter my address pal address correctly. Kept trying to take the box number out and only have the street address which wa sobvioauly no good
Delighted i didn’t get it perversely as the potential customs price was haunting me!

Anything I can do to save you money.
If it was that price in the EU, or even a bit more, it’d have been gone before you’d heard of it. It’s the customs and shipping that’s the killer from there! One day they’ll repress this, one day...

That's really the key to successfully mailing records. Just keep them from moving around in the mailer. If you take two pieces of cardboard and make a vinyl record sandwich and tape the corners of the cardboard tight, then place in mailer, wah-lah, no damage. That's how I do it at least. I also always give the mailer a little shake after it is taped up and before I send it, just to listen and make sure there isn't even the slightest bit of movement inside. Haven't had a single complaint yet. Then again, I don't work at a label and am not responsible for mailing out 1000 records a day. So I can spend a few more minutes packing it properly.

They're selling $500 to $700 records, but they wouldn't accept my $2 below list offer on their $20 copy of Coltrane Plays the Blues. Stingy bastards.
