It's a 78 with paki top.
Got worked up on Reddit about this. Everyone there said it’s better than Discogs, which is not a great excuse and they failed to see the point. Ugh.Yes, I don’t know any other industry where one of the premier manufacturers/retailers would sell their own returned/damaged/flawed/leftover items at a massive premium and not be racked over the coals about it. But, in vinyl world it is just considered fair business practices given the “collectability” of the product.
You would think they were struggling and just just barely managing to pay the bills. Because if you were doing really well what little extra profit you would generate like this would be far out weighed by the hit to your business reputation.
Sadly when AS does this or when MD sells marked up new just out-of-print MoFi titles there isn’t much a vinyl buyer can do. They control such a large percentage of the premium audiophile vinyl market the buyer (or independent resellers for that matter) is at such a disadvantage that normal business practices become whatever the biggest decides they are.
And, I have preorders in at both of them. Great products, I want to buy them, and often direct is the best option. However, when I see stuff like this I don’t have to like it.
Sorry for long post. A lot of pent up frustration going on in many markets right now with inflation, shortages, etc. I’m feeling it tonight.
FYI, this is $30!!! Jump on this, I have one and it’s superb.
Sorry but that is what it's called because it was made in Pakistan
I "was" fine living with my digital files of Blues Walk but Michael got me feelin for the BNC just came out so i't's on the local list now,.
No, that’s not what it’s called bc it’s made in Pakistan. There’s actual word for that. “Pakistani”
That was the name of them when the guy from Pakistan was making and selling them to the landcruiser guys. He may have even used it first. This goes way back in time though.
You live in a different country with different terms, but thanks for the unsolicited lecture.
While I was aware of its derogatory meaning (having devoured British culture over the years), I would say that most Americans would have no idea that it is a pejorative term as Pakistani communities are few and far between in this country and lack the cultural impact that they have in the UK.
True, but if someone explained to me why it was offensive I would apologize and not use the term again, instead of digging in my heels and getting snarky.
I don't disagree, but different strokes for different folks I guess.
To be fair. Coffee is offensive to the Brits.
It’s this attitude I don’t care for. We have people from the UK, Norway, South America, and Australia on this forum. When someone says something may be considered offensive, then learn from it. @Joe Mac was only trying to educate as to why it may be considered offensive. Don’t be a jerk.
