Online Vinyl Deals

Might just be me, but every time I think about buying from them I discover that even with a significant discount like this 30% off, their original prices are so relatively high that the sale just brings them down to what other places are selling them for without a sale. This is in striking contrast to the Target sale, where the original prices, in most cases, are already pretty good, and the sale offers a true bargain. Might be an apples-and-oranges comparison, but I don't have the impression The Sound of Vinyl is some small mom-and-pop outfit. (They claim to be "the world's leading online vinyl store.")
I tend to agree, but these discounts stack on their sales so it can bring you to around 50% which is nice. Of course not a lot are on sale right now, but a couple were worth it.

Hadn't realized you could stack, so yeah, I'm sure that would make for some good deals.
 
Few more things I bought from Target if anyone is looking for some last minute ideas

I had a Circle offer to complete 2 $50+ orders and get $15 in credit this so I did my one full 3for2 to complete it.

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III (Vinyl) 2lp deluxe version
Beautifully done RSD 2019 release, not a huge discount for what you can get it for but still a better price then you'll likely find it for.


pre-order for December so I figured i'd put an order down and think about it over the next couple months

Solid deal but I doubt i'll get this any cheaper if I wait.


Then some other stuff i've been debating on and will try to hold off for another day but we'll seeeeeee 🙃

This is the one listed and is supposed to sound great, it's 45rpm red vinyl and spread across 2lp's
They also have a second 35th anniversary on Target.com which is 2lp but it's 2 versions of the album at the normal 33 1/3 (original uk and new remixed remaster)

This rarely ever drops below $40 so after the 33% off it's a very solid deal



5th Anniversary White edition

Norwegian Prog rock, dope album! I'm guessing it's the below standard black version

Pretty great price for 4lp's and this hardly ever drops much from what i've noticed over the years. This version also supposedly sounds much better then the MOV release from 2014. Anyone actually own this version?

with the sale it would bring it to about $15 a piece.


I also noticed they are adding things nearly every day so if you look at all vinyl and check to sort from "newest" you might find a couple new things before the sale ends.. I actually found some pretty rare variants of lesser known bands looking around that surprised me so you never know what might pop up even though the sale is about over at this point.
I'm sure it's too late now, but that Rock-N-Roll High School pressing is one of the worst-sounding records in my stacks. Thin, shallow, flat mastering.

Luckily I didn't grab that one but i've wanted a copy forever and heard the ogs are pretty rough as well so looks like i'll just take that one off my want list then. Thanks for the feedback, bad pressing warnings are always appreciated! I tried to only recommend well received pressings but there has been no talk on that one I could find.
 
Anyone know if this site is legit?
Got my Pearl Jam Unplugged.
Here are the photos (including the slight corner ding) & the discogs link, so you can decide for yourself.
