Completely! There are die-hard collectors/completionists that won't be able to pass this up.
You know, I think I'll pass on this one.

in case anybody was wondering....i reached out to Sundazed to see if there were any plans to repress the KG/RTI Velvet Underground box set. They said it's OOP and no plans to repress it in 2022. They may eventually repress after that but no plans seem to be in the works

price seems steep, but I believe this is the CB/Pallas cut of Californication and just got restocked:

might be back in stock elsewhere too soon if anybody was looking for it?

Yo know you’ve jumped the proverbial shark when you lost Jonny on what is likely a definitive pressing of a White Stripes record.

hard to tell....the target one might not even be the CB. i think this might be one of those annoying cases of multiple pressings having the same UPC. you can tell visually by the cover/sticker on the front, but these all seem to use the generic album art as the photo so can't really tell...Any way to check if this is the same?

The question has been raised a few times here, but has anyone at this point listened to the half-speed master of The Velvet Underground & Nico?

Ouch! Tell us what you really think. Haha. He's very sincere and I've appreciated his opinions and recommendations in the past, so it would be hard to overlook this panning.

I have listened to them. I'd say mine were pressed well, no noticeable pops or surface noise issues.
As far as dynamics, I think they sounded pretty good. The bass on Candy Says on the self-titled was more forward than I recall from the CD, so Lou Reed's vocal sound a little low. Otherwise, nothing stood out to me as noticeable when it came to sound. I wouldn't say either is audiophile per se, but for a modern repress I think these are pretty good, particularly if you can get them on sale.

My favorite part is when he says the people at Abbey Road should listen to the Sundazed box set and then not come out of their room because they should feel ashamed
. He wasn’t even listening to the KG cut box.
