Definitive Audiophile pressings

[highqualityrecords]

That could’ve been old, I have no idea when that was put up. But also the fact that it was $75 makes me think the opposite - they even have the VMP version they pressed up for $100. That Terrapin is well above $150 on the secondary market. And they uploaded some other stuff that had average secondary market prices. Why Terrapin AP and Reckoning were both below market price doesn’t make sense to me.

It’s already bad taste when a company as big as Acoustic Sounds tries to squeeze so little profit in the grand scheme of their sales from flipping their own stuff, I imagine them putting them up for “market price” would get even more backlash.

I don’t like them.

It's not on their website but I drove down to Comeback Vinyl yesterday and they have a Mofi copy of Live/Dead for $40, the caveat is that side four is damaged.

My TS has been adjusted from backorder to cancelled. Sly is still alive though.

Are the Slys getting cancelled?

Not yet but seems AS made several mistakes this weekend. The price makes me think it may have been another error.

Yeah it definitely did not seem correct.

My Sly was canceled. To get free shipping for spending $49 on in stock items, I added a $30 item, and that item is now in my shipping queue and shipping remains free.

This is an odd benefit of AS’s antiquated inventory system. I’m getting free shipping on a $30 item bc they mistakenly list a different item as in stock when it’s not.

It's all an experiment to test what people would buy if they repressed them.

They cancelled my Sly and Best of the Grateful Dead, but not my other Dead....yet.

My paranoid theory on the Dead is that they got all of that hugely priced buy-backs/returns on those Dead Boxes and OOP MoFis and someone got a bit trigger happy on other older items.

Anyway GD cancelled, Sly not yet but gotta be coming soon. Hopefully they ship the Femmes for free still.

 

[zdkaiser]

Just checked, Terrapin canceled. Acoustic Sounds, what a freaking shitshow.

This is what I choose to believe lol “market research”. Watch the reissue be $50.

Ha! That would be great if my add-on weren’t an album I never would have ordered if not for my desire for free shipping

Exactly. I'm kind of glad they canceled my Best of Dead too, because even though it's a great pressing I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

My Sly is still pending, but I expect a cancelation any moment.

Sweet Jesus. This may be nightmare fuel for some of the philistines around here, but this 1980 VIM pressing of Aja might be the best thing I've ever heard on my system. No need for any rumored APs with this fire out there to be had.

Do you have a link to the Discogs listing for it??

VIM?

VIM?

It’s this one. I initially thought “VIM“ was a typo that should have been “VMI” (acronym for Victor Musical Industries), but “VIM“ is correct and refers to the catalog number for this release, which is VIM-4039. Full link: Steely Dan - Aja

@Portland Sheriff Thank you!
