Online Vinyl Deals

4 albums at $65, plus for $12 Media Mail, yeah naw.

I lol'd at $8 shipping for Media Mail on the Alice In Chains release on reddit and i got a half dozen armchair economists telling me about how ACKSUALLY it's fair and broke down a bunch of out of their ass data about supply costs, the wage of the working man, etc. One guy acted like it was unfeasible that anyone like the distribution arm of Columbia Records could get better prices on mailers than he could.

anyway no it doesn't cost anywhere close to $10-12 for media mail and it's the modern "shipping + handling" scam
 
Fantastic! I've been trying to find a copy at a reasonable price for a while now so here's hoping.

It appears the hello merch site has the same sale:

I got a shipping notice today that included Blonder and Blonder so I guess they weren't THAT out of stock. This sale is the only thing that's made me put my blood feud with Hello Merch on hold, but if they arrive damaged i'll have my CC on the phone quick
 
Not sure if I'm going to get this deal from PopMarket but I'm intrigued by these new Lee "Scratch" Perry boxsets:


And I wonder how they differ from the previously released (and brilliant IMO) Arkology set (will have to do some track to track comparisons), other than the obvious fact they are pressing a vinyl version:
