Managed to grab one as well on the Uk store. They bumped up the price a little from the Coltrane, felt like quite a lot more without any discount.

@Selaws did you stick with the international pre-order or try & get one from the UK store? Was the shipping reasonable?

I went with the international in the end. To be honest, after getting the preorder in at 3pm I totally forgot to try on their UK store and cancel the US one (which they suggested).

Interestingly, the US came to £85 total including shipping. The UK looked to be £84.99, presumably with shipping on top. So fractionally cheaper to have bought from the US, although the shipping time will obviously be a lot longer.

Definitely cheaper on the US site then, good to know for next time that it is in the same ball park.

I paid £7 shipping, I think you could get it for £5 but thought it was worth spending an extra £2 to get tracking this time. I don't usually tbh.

Sweet, I just popped on their facebook and they have shared another as well.

As a heads up, they have announced and released photos of 3 vinyl releases which will be announced officially soon for pre-order. The Ian Carr EP (which is a 10"), the Mike Gibbs album (shown below) and another which I won't share here until they put it on their social media. But all look to be fantastic releases in my opinion!

This is a high-price item at 6 LPs for $179.99, but less than current discogs prices, so might be of interest to some:

crosspost from Fresh Grabs: Absolute steal at the local today. Came across a long out of stock SEALED Sam’s Record pressed at QRP for $21!?! The MSRP on this pressing was nearly $30 and that doesn’t even factor in shipping from Europe lol. Current cheapest copy on cogs is floating right around $100. I thought I was seeing things at first glimpse of that beautiful beautiful gold sticker, then the price tag made me feel like I was about to commit a criminal act.

Awesome! Amazing to me that you could find something like that in the wild, in the US! (I have a copy and don't remember there being a QRP sticker.)

EDIT: The copy I have is this one: Thelonious Monk – Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960 (2017, 200 Gram, Vinyl)

And it was pressed at QRP. Apparently limited to 1000 and pressed exclusively for Acoustic Sounds. I don't think Sam Records has done that for any of his other titles.

Nice! What store was that at?

Going Underground Records in East Hollywood. Great staff and great curation, I frequently find gems there. They price incredibly well, most of the stuff I find there is well under the Discogs median tbh

I was there like 2 days ago! Didn’t see that one although I already have it. I agree— great store and they’ve been doing really lately.

Really interesting to see them bring people like D Double E on board with this album. I've seen them a few times and the last time, summer 2019, they brought him on stage to perform a track (maybe it was this one??) and it actually worked really well. They played off each other and brought tons of energy.

Vinyl copies are up for pre-order now, coloured or black.
