Definitive Audiophile pressings

Do you have one of the QRP's from 2015? I would not expect much could beat that one. Unless you're looking for all the extras because that price is great.

I do not. I just have a US OG that's in good shape. But this may be the way to go and it looks like I can land one from Amazon for $26. You're right about its quality if the discogs reviews are to be believed. Thanks! Probably the best compromise since as much as I always like the idea of box sets, I rarely take full advantage of them once they're in hand.

I have the regular 2022 single disc edition, which I assume is the same as the one inside this box, and it’s 100% fantastic. The lowest Discogs price for that isn’t that much lower than your sale price for the box. (I have not heard the 2015 QRP edition so can’t compare 2022 to that)

If you can find one at that price and it truly is the 2015 (or 2019 - one's 200g the other 180g but same otherwise), jump on it. They're scarce now I think. There's a more recent GZ press going around though. I guess you can always send it back if Amazon has the pressing wrong.

EDIT: I think I'm mixing up the 180g/200g thing with another Rush reissue. Cogs says this one is 180g for both the 2015 and 2019.

No, there is a 200g listing for 2015, and that's also what Amazon describes:

Yeah, I took a look at that one also. DMM, right? I've gone ahead and purchased what's supposed to be the 2015 200g pressing. I'll see how that goes and return it if it isn't what it claims to be. Thanks!

EDIT: Should have mentioned that the 2022 single-disc DMM pressing can be purchased from uDiscover for $27.98 with their current 30% discount. That seems like a great deal if it's as good as you say.

I'm guessing theyll send you the 2019 180g pressing. Think that is what happened to me. Regardless, it's excellent.

Was there a pound of weed included? That is some shady packaging 😜

Haha very clearly they don’t have proper mailers for boxes like that so Karl used a ton of tape to put to record mailers together. Got here in one piece though without any damage. Excited to give it a listen but will have to be this weekend. No weed inside sadly but I didn’t check TOO closely…

yeah, I got mine for $24 in August when uDiscover had a 40% code, but I didn’t know about the QRP option until today’s posts, so I don’t know what I would have done had I known. You’ve probably seen that the Discogs reviews for the 2022 DMM are consistent with my assessment, but they’re similar for the 2015 QRP. I’m sure you can’t go wrong.
 
Please reply if you have insight about quality of French pressings from 60s/70s, particularly something like this Night Cap by Michel Sardaby on Disques Debs in 1970, with repress in 1975. There are also a couple Japanese options for this if that’s the best direction. Thank you.

Strange packaging. They have boxes for those UHQRs. I've received them before. I bet they ran out. If it showed up like that and was damaged I would PISSED given how much they charge for shipping.

it was not from acoustic sounds. After it sold out at AS, Tuff Gong had a few more copies. You had to call this dude Karl and give your physical address then they emailed you an invoice instead of just putting them online for flippers to buy.
