Online Vinyl Deals

This is also my plan - holler if you see it in stock.

I'm still waiting on Cornbread as well, but I'm intentionally not emailing them about it. That (and Buhaina's Delight) have been listed as "out of stock" for several weeks, so I suspect that if I send an inquiry, then that will result in a cancellation plus refund. Instead, my plan is to check their website every few weeks to see if those items ever come back in stock, and then email uDiscover and ask them to honor the sale. Mind games.

People have issues with the BN reissues because they sell like hot cakes and no retailers can seem to keep a lot of those titles in stock, especially when they are priced at those crazy low prices. By now everyone should know what they are getting into by getting these steep discounts from UDiscover. I get that it's frustrating and there isn't much communication (also annoying that they say "in stock" and let you order when they clearly do not have stock left). But at the end of the day, you're getting quality records for really cheap so the waiting is okay with me. I haven't had any issues outside of waiting. I've ordered 20+ albums from them and had no cancellations. I got one damaged record (only sleeve was damaged) and was promptly refunded because they had no more in stock and they told me to keep it.

I've been pretty lucky overall in these sales *knock on wood*. One wrong album sent via Target and got a refund and told to keep it. And I haven't had any cancellations yet.

I completely understand why people are frustrated though and they aren't a very good company to order from. If it was something limited and I was paying retail for it, I'd avoid them like the plague. But for the sale prices, I'm okay with waiting even if it takes a few months to get something.

I've had pretty good luck with uDiscover as well - my most recent purchase was Larry Young's Into Somethin' that I ordered on 12/15 and it was delivered on 12/22. I think you're right that it's all about what they have in stock.

Agree completely, I doubt many others took as much advantage of that sell as I did. They honored every free thing I ordered and even all the 20 cent to $2-3 fillers I bought without issue (a few were even pre-orders and still got them). I seen how passionate some were about the BN reissues on the Hoffman forums especially so didn't want to elaborate too much and cause drama but I think most here are for the most part chill and understand the great deals they are getting. Like you, I could care less about a wait as long as I get it in the end for a great price i'm happy. It always sucks when there's delays or any issues but it is what it is if you want the great deal and I think we all have plenty of stuff to play while we wait haha.

I guess SoV is not accepting any damaged returns until USPS has dealt with the remainder of their holiday backlog according to a reply I just got. So they once again issued a full refund and told me to keep the WaxWork Halloween Soundtrack. I appreciate the hell out of that honestly anytime it allows me to avoid stepping foot in a Post Office right now not to mention getting to keep the record. Target has been pretty awesome with the couple of issues i've had as well. Amazon is def. falling in the ranks of places I order quite a bit over the last year.
 
Well, the hostage situation is FINALLY over!! My wife was finally emailed her shipping label and the $8 ABBA picture disc was mailed back to UDiscover and they have released her 4 lp order of $54 from early November! She has refused to order from them in the future but I will soldier on. Gotta get those Pj Harvey reissues for cheap!

I'm the latest casualty of the Target B2G1 cancellation extravaganza. Nina Simone's Pastel Blues ain't coming my way. Gonna have to snag it at my local.

At least I got Cowboy Bebop and Duke Pearson for less that $20 each!

I spoke too soon about no cancellations too. My copy of Social Network OST got cancelled from target after tons of delay approvals.

I got both of those, too, among others. Duke Pearson shipped right away, but they just shipped Cowboy Bebop yesterday (after multiple backorder delays).

Rough Trade is having a pretty large sale right now. Lots of titles are discounted:


this album in particular is just fantastic. i'm surprised this one didn't sell out either here or through VMP for a long time


this album also rules:

Seconded on both these albums.

Also great prices for Disq - Collector, and Jimmy Giuffre - New York Concerts (a 2020 RSD jazz title) -- both albums I like a lot.


 
Van Morrison - Moondance on sale today at popmarket for $19.79 shipped
The listing states it's the 2008 version, "Pressed on 180 gram vinyl at RTI. Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Grey at Acoustech Mastering." Pretty sure it's this repress with the same upc, cut by Kevin Gray but at Cohearant Audio from digital. Still a solid deal.

The KG@CA is supposedly from digital transfer of the master. The KG@ATM is the last AAA version as the tapes are supposedly in bad condition. Either way, this pressing still sounds awesome so if you’re a fan of this album it’s a solid deal since shipping is included

Yeah, I took a shot on the purported '08 pressing a while back from popmarket's sister site, deep discount. I got the KPG@CA cut. Not complaining, as it sounds terrific to me.

No complaints either. Between being a KG cut and being pressed at RTI (and the under $20 price tag), it sounds awesome. KG does wonders with lots of digital sourcing. I think the VMP John Lee Hooker “It Serve You Right To Suffer” is a digital source and it sounds amazing.
