Yeah, I went ahead and paid the annoying shipping upcharge from Mofi just in case. Music Direct doesn’t even seem to have a listing for it

According to SHF, the japanese 1st press of this one uses the US plates. Can't confirm it on Discogs though because nobody entered the matrix. Anyway, I can't imagine it being very expensive.

I snagged The Stranger and Pat Garrett. Don’t have either on vinyl.

I'm not sure how many of these are still out there but @Plaid Room / Colemine has some copies of Chris Isaak's Heart Shaped World. It's a fantastic sounding pressing!

Chris Isaak - Heart Shaped World [White Vinyl]
When Heart Shaped World was released in the summer of 1989, it peaked at number 149 on the Billboard 200. In October 1990, Lee Chesnut, music director of WAPW in Atlanta, played the song "Wicked Game" repeatedly over two weeks after hearing a version on the soundtrack from the 1990 David Lynch...

I second that. A really excellent pressing (from Furnace IIRC).

Cross-post from J-Jazz:
HMV.JP is repressing the Three Blind Mice series that sold out quickly earlier this year. I have all five of these, purchased when the exchange rate was less favorable (at least in the US), and they’re excellent. If you really, really care about the best quality and are ok w 45rpm, I think the Impex of Blow Up is a slight improvement over these Craftman, but it’s close. In fact, I sold my Impex Blow Up when these arrived bc I prefer 33rpm and the small difference didn’t matter to me.
Links to each pre-order. Not sure how many they’re pressing, but they went very fast the first time around.

Yep they have stickers on the outer sleeves now too.
Side note: I think Mobile Infidelity is my favorite silly nickname from this whole dumb drama

LOL, hadn't read that one, but that's pretty funny. Honestly, I agree, this has all been kind of dumb, while I completely understand the obvious "problem" with all this, I think it's more the "Golden Ear" crowd being butt hurt and called out that's dragging it on, lol

I think Furnace is just the US-version of Pallas. So if it is pressed at Furnace, you should expect high quality (in my experience)
PALLAS USA - About
Holger Neumann (Pallas), Ali Miller & Eric Astor (Furnace) and Patrick Roll (Pallas) outside the vinyl pressing hall in Diepholz, Germany.

I WISH mine got that close.
Also I literally bought it from Bezos for like $27.

Looks like Impex is playing it smart. Since mofi cornered the boomer dad music, they've decided to do us all a favor and go after the contemporary roc...uh...boomer mom market.
