List price. Never a good idea to directly undercut ur dealers. But, I think there was a 10% off code. I never tried it. No matter. Going and gone.

@Mather, I would be surprised if the samples are from the actual albums. While still in really nice condition, these haven't been cleaned and there is no way they would have sounded like the samples I heard. Just finished cleaning all these and they were never cleaned with anything noteworthy..........maybe brushed off, but that about it.

Got my records today! First inspection, the Genesis and ELO records look like they were graded appropriately. The Dylan record had quite a few blemishes that made me concerned, but a good run through my Vinyl Flat, voila, clean as new.
Currently spinning the ELO record, and sounds WAY fuller than my Legacy clear vinyl reissue. On the opening strings/keyboard of Tightrope, could feel the crescendo in the floor with my bare feet. And that’s just Tightrope, haven’t made it through the rest yet.

Okay that's good to know but very strange. If you're going to post samples that aren't from the needle drop on the actual album. What the heck is the point?

I did notice that the sample for “Something” was actually “Here Comes the Sun” on the samples for Abbey Road. So something makes me think they’re not too specific. I agree - what’s the point?

Mastered by Wally Traugot, I’ve got a Andrew Hill album in this series and it sounds great. A bit pricey though at US60 .

Today's Record City delivery (ordered Saturday). I'm focusing on the 70's, mostly albums I've had several copies of over the years but never anything necessarily definitive. Assuming accurate grading, I don't think I'm paying any more for these than I'd pay locally for OG copies in this (EX) condition, which aren't easy to come by anyway. We'll see... (Rationalization is among the greatest of human qualities, isn't it?)

The Boston looks really nice, rarely find covers in good shape where I am. Almost all are faded significantly.

It does sound good but Nilsson Schmilsson is better and a better album IMO.

Yeah, the jacket on that one is basically Mint, which as you say is unusual--not even a hint of ring or edge wear. In fact all the jackets look to be in really great shape (all were listed as EX, as was the vinyl).

K, spinning Wired at the moment but got through both Zep albums and they sound great, better than what I have, dynamic, detailed and very quiet. I'm happy with Record City's grading and product and will probably dip in again at some point.
............this Jeff Beck sounds amazing

I’m hoping one of the canadian stores stocks it soon… or maybe even Analogue Productions with their new canadian shipping policy.

The vinyl is every bit as clean as the jacket and sounds great. Same for the Fogelberg. Haven't listened to the others yet.
I'll be able to tell you soon if you really NEED it.
A copy arrived earlier in the week. I ordered from Music Direct along with the Something Else One Step, but asked them to ship together. For some reason they have shipped it anyway without charging me.
