Welp, every link I click on says the page can’t be found so hopefully my local will get a few copies…in June.

Think the order window closed, sorry. But ROG usually does a small additional run for indie stores

LOL! I have a stamp card where I get 20% off for every $200 I spend, unfortunately it’s in store only to redeem.I can't keep buying these albumsThink I'll get on the frequent flyer program with HiVoltage?

I'd be running down to buy with that stamp card! I've recently started collecting Japanese pressings due to this forum....My wallet does not like me right now.

Not to stoke FOMO but if you don’t have any of those Beatles releases in Mono those Japanese Odeon’s are pretty excellent. I have 2 of them they are all analog on red wax.

I think these are all from the same collection. You’ll say anything to take the heat of yourself for awhile won’t ya?

I actually picked up the '62-66 and '67-70 compilations when they were posted last week. I'm looking at grabbing With the Beatles and Beatles for Sale. I just grabbed a '78 UK white pressing of the White Album, so I'll hold off on that. But maybe I DO need that Yellow Submarine...

Some of you may have seen in the Jazz thread posts about Nimbus West’s “warehouse” sale, including Horace Tapscott’s 7-volume “Tapscott Sessions,” which I bought (used) from that sale.
In contrast to the current AAA marketing trend and scandals around non-AAA, I and many of us are old enough to remember when when “DDD” was the big selling point for CDs. I’m sure there were people who thought DDD was BS back then, but I and I suspect most consumers bought it hook, line, and sinker. Of course, DDD can be great, but I knew nothing about mastering/remastering and how much that affected quality, so I didn’t understand that some DDD could be great and other could be trash.
I mention all that b/c the Tapscott Sessions were issued from 1982-1984, and the back covers of Vols 1-5 promote digitally sourced recordings (“recording equipment digital”) on “premium virgin vinyl.” No way to be certain, but it seems like, in stark contrast to today, Nimbus West wanted people to know about the digital source!

Digital recordings on vinyl were definitely a thing in the early to mid 80s amongst the “cognoscenti” and widely and wildly hyped as such. The Telarc Soundstream system releases sounded better than most of those pressings but for the most part sounded like blocks of sound coming at you instead of analog waveforms. I don’t listen to the ones I have very often and certainly not for pleasure.

Good to know. I’ve had a turntable since elementary school, but I stopped buying vinyl during the 80s/90s except for weird prog stuff that wasn’t on CD. But I had no clue about audiophile anything or any technical details about recordings.Digital recordings on vinyl were definitely a thing in the early to mid 80s amongst the “cognoscenti” and widely and wildly hyped as such.

These are solo piano, so I’m hoping that “blocks of sound” quality isn‘t in play! I don’t have access to my TT right now so can’t find out yet.

I have quite a few of the Tapscott albums from that series. I’ll have to relisten but remember them sounding good. Pretty cool music on them
