^^^^I'd like Matador for not $100.
I really do not get Music Matters and their pricing. Just last week, I was debating which 45rpms to get and had a bunch in my cart that were $34.95. Now they are $44.95. The lowest priced items are now $39.95. It's not like those $35 ones were flying off the shelves.

I think someone confirmed a while back that MM ups the price when stock is getting low... Shady

Ridiculous sales practices. F that.
I could never bring myself to order direct from MMJ because of their pricing nonsense and (from what I’ve read) what seems like kinda bad customer service, although I do have a handful of releases I bought from Deep Discount and SH forums. They’re good

I read Grant Green's biography a few months ago (written by his Daughter-In-Law, Sharony Andrews Green) and what I found to be crazy was just how little interest there was in his music well into the 90's. She went out to buy some of his albums and shops just weren't stocking them (even jazz specialist shops). When she did find copies they were almost always discounted or cheap. Makes you wish that time travel was real

Yeah, now all his stuff costs a small fortune on the used market because you can't find it anywhere. At least that's been my experience. Luckily there have been some AP reissues and the Tone Poets recently, and even the BN75s ( though the pressings are mostly subpar on the BN75s, I've got a few "clean" copies and the mastering is actually pretty good). I'm looking at getting that recent Herbie Hancock Tone Poet with Green playing on 2 tracks. Just listening to this morning. Probably should have grabbed it during the recent B2G1 sales.I read Grant Green's biography a few months ago (written by his Daughter-In-Law, Sharony Andrews Green) and what I found to be crazy was just how little interest there was in his music well into the 90's.

Herbie's "My Point of View" has been a real high point in the TP releases. Love this album
It wasn't available for either of those sales. Trust me, I tried as I wanted that one, Jimmy Smith, and Horace Silver.
Talk about a great line-up

Well, I guess I'll be buying at least 8 of those next year. 3 of them to replace BN75s.

Well I have every single one of these except Jimmy Smith, but you bet I will be buying each one of these again! Very happy they are doing this. Hopefully they will keep them in print for a very long time too.

I guess that settles what version of "The Real McCoy" I pre-ordered from Target

Yup, a lot of these have been on my waitlist and I'm glad I don't have to shell out high prices to hunt down quality pressings. This is such great news.

All those resellers for the MMJ SRX vinyl trying to flip them for $500 must be in full on panic mode this morning.
I managed to grab the SRX for many of these, but there are still 8 in this initial run that I will be getting.
