    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    Is there no free shipping threshold for this? My cart was over $125 US shipping to a US address but it still wants to charge me an extra $15

    Immerse Your Soul In Love - The Radiohead Thread

    I’m sure I’m missing something. The difference between the special edition and the standard edition isn’t just the signature, right? And the $50 US of course.

    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    I got the classics version from Amazon for $35 Canadian which is about $26US apparently. I think it sounds great. I’ve only compared it to the BN75 series release and I much prefer the classics. I thought the BN75 series was supposed to be mastered by BG but mine had the dreaded mastered by...

    Glad to hear some got a decent copy of the Coltrane. They sent me three copies and each one was badly warped with non fill rips and blips scattered throughout both sides. They refunded me in the end so the CS was good, but not one of those copies is playable.

    It is a lot but I’m pretty used to roughly that amount within Canada. Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of shipping as low at $10 in Canada. Ahh well. Now I’m just hoping Optimal doesn’t mess up the pressing like Coltrane’s Sound which was a disaster. I also grabbed the Van Morrison from this...

    Oh whaaaat? Really? Shipping was $18 and tax was $8.

    Yeahhhhhh even with the 10% off it came to $71 for me after shipping and tax! Pretty outrageous but it’s a fantastic album so I’m taking the hit.

    Marquee Moon is available on the Canadian Warner site and welcome10 works for 10% off, though a 20% code would be much better! It’s still pretty steep after shipping and tax.

    Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

    Yeahhhhh I just streamed all of the albums before ordering the set and really wish Shades of Brown wasn’t there. I’m hoping the sound on the vinyl is so good that it makes it worth listening to, but based on comments here I am guessing that isn’t the case. The rest of the albums are fantastic...

    Agreed. The flip side of that is that since it’s pressed at MRP there will be no defect free copies and people will get their money back in the end.

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    I wonder why they are doing this Ray Barretto album in mono? 1967 seems a bit late for that, no? Anyone know if it is true mono or a fold down? As you can see I’ve got questions 😄

    I apologize for mislabeling you as miserable.

    Haha sorry. Twas a reference to that miserable guy accusing you of wasting your money on turd’s. I appreciate your insights on the pressing!

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    I was able to grab 4 of the records from the Stax Anthology from a recent throwback Thursday. So far I’ve listened to Johnny Taylor- Raw Blues and Booker T & the MG’s- Soul Dressing. Raw Blues is a good album for sure but the recording isn’t that great. Soul Dressing blew me away! It’s also...
