Definitive Audiophile pressings

[RHANDMJ]

That is the million dollar question. That is what is stopping me buying any audiophile records from the US these days. If you go USPS it will take almost 3 months, but if it is UPS or FedEx you are going to be hit with customs and duties (and extortionist fees).

If you just ask AS or Elusive Disc to mark the customs value as $20, it will sail through without and duties or taxes.

When you get lemons, DON'T give me that bullshit of making lemonade. Tell them you're not gonna take their fucking lemons, and demand to speak to the manager. Get mad. Tell them you're going to burn their warehouse down with the damn lemons unless they do it.

Original Green Label Warner Bros Sound great, I’ve got a Santa Monica pressing, seem to be a few on Discogs for around 30 or so

Speaking of per-covid era Van Morrison -- does anyone have guidance on which Tupelo Honey is awesome?

Matador and 45 Mac came in today, with a few others!

I don't need the Hendrix UHQR.
Nope. Sure don't.
I do however need something else to go along with my Goin' Away Acoustic Sounds order so that it reaches the minimum price...

It’s a pity they don’t have gum at the checkout like at the supermarket. The amount of times that I’ve thrown a packet of gum into my shop to hit a voucher…

Hey Canadians, have any of you ordered from Acoustic Sounds recently? If so is fed ex charging broker fees? Duty?

What's the next best place you guys order AP/Acoustic sounds stuff from?

Not sure you ask for yourself but in any case Vinyl Gourmet (in Portugal I think) carries all audiophile labels, but I don’t know how shipping would be across Europe…

That's the thing. I don't have anywhere.

 

[POGunter]

edit: wow, I am surprised it is still available! OK they pressed more, but last time they sold out within minutes...

Been watching it on Craft Small Batch site wondering how long they will last. No idea if this is accurate but FWIW using the “how many can I add to cart trick” we get:

1103 goes into cart….



1104 give error message….

Add it to the cart you coward.

Add it to the cart you coward.

I’m trying to pay off cc b4 RSD. I’ll admit I did get bit of an adrenaline rush as my finger hovered over the button.

Thanks, since I'm temporarily in Canada I wanted to see if I could find some stuff locally here as well, wondering if it would even be cheaper.

A lot of the acoustic sounds stuff thats on their website isn't being sold in Europe, and when it is it's really expensive.

If you're in Toronto Sonic Boom has the biggest audiophile pressing collection of any store I know. But they're also the most expensive store in the city.

Looks like TheInGroove added the 1st couple Small Batch unopened used sometime today. Sadly $299.99 is still to much for me to fill out the Small Batch collection at the moment I think.

I usually order from Mike @ theingroove or Zaccardi's Zaccardi's Audiophile Vinyl Records, SACDs, Audio Accessories. Zaccardi's is where I ordered Matador from and it arrived in a few days

So this likely means ~1k copies left?

 

[POGunter]

So this likely means ~1k copies left?

A reasonable guess since all copies are sold thru Small Batch Craft site. And, if the Cart function is working as normal. Still just a guess.
