Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Russ I]

That one and the David Crosby mofi just updated as AAA

The Crosby is really surprising since that was a 2022 title.

Electric Warrior isn’t that old and it’s AAA. It seems a bit more label/artist dependent than anything. Sony in particular doesn’t seem to want to give tapes out to anybody. I imagine MoFi would probably prefer to be AAA for most releases.

I really loved that the cassette version of Standing on the Beach was all the singles on the A side and all the singles' b-sides on the B-side of the cassette.

Those Concert and Standing on the Beach cassettes were always close by in my backpack

Seriously, I get there are lots of Stupid rich people in So Cal but what does one do with like 7 copies of Huey Lewis Sport and 5 copies of Whipped Cream And Other Delights?

Why buy the entire inventory out though? Why not just tell the store "give me one of everything, yes literally everything" and let them take care of it. it's a lot of dupes for no reason.

My guess would be a trade sale.

Because these types of people have more money than brains. There is zero chance the person who did this actually likes music. They just wanted to be able to tell people they did this. It's the boringest laziest thing ever to purchase an entire stores music inventory, especially considering whomever did this probably mainly listens to Imagine Dragons.

i mean, if *I* won the lottery, i would definitely 100% buy like 52 copies of whipped cream and other delights and send one a week to you, but, you know, for fun, not because i just wanted to buy a store's entire inventory out

I'd gladly listen to 7 different copies of Sports.

According to some other comments I’ve seen they bought it out for inventory for their own record store so either Port cut them a good deal or they’re…uh…not the best at this

In this case my original statement stands, it's just instead of having the collection at home, they now have a record store that they can brag they own.
