I finally did a chat recently because when they kept sending me the wrong record when I ordered a Jobim Record, I had to send them all back. I don’t mind that at all honestly. Problem was they got all three records, confirmed they got them and then charged me for the record I never got. Then the only thing they would do was refund the money and it took a week. I actually just stopped responding in the chat because the douche bag didn’t even care that I was upset.
Ah damn it, I have been after that as well. Shot back up to £126

I had the same experience. Shipping is also becoming an issue for me. They may deliver in 2 days after shipping, but I found that it was often taking a couple days for my order to even ship, so in total it took longer than the “get it in 2 days” timeline. I actually dropped Prime because of it. Glad I did too, because I was just defaulting to ordering off Amazon and assumed it would be the best price. Now I actually shop around and find that I can often beat the Amazon price somewhere. Plus, there is really very few situations where I need whatever I was ordering to arrive in a day or two...
I think this was posted in the Anthology thread. It appears to be an Elemental release which is usually remastered from a CD or digital source. Might be worth a punt at that price but reviews on Elemental releases are quite mixed. Seems to be the equivalent of those Blue Note 75th releases.

the product description clearly states Blue Note
Already told ya the source is CD or digital, not analogue

Appears that Elemental remasters these from high res audio. They do not seem to be grey market but I’ve seen mixed reviews on a lot of these but would be worth a punt for £10.
Other sites have the reissues listed as well and confirm Elemental:
Cc: @paninoBobby Hutcherson : Montara (180 gram pressing) (LP, Vinyl record album)
One of our favorite Bobby Hutcherson albums ever -- and a magical session filled with electric Latin vibes! The album's quite a different one for Bobby at the time -- as it has him working with some larger arrangements, in a soulful west coast groove that's almost got the feel of a hip 70s...
Fair enough. I saw a bunch of complaints on hoffman forums about them and do believe they are a bit hit or miss but for the price and some of the titles they have released, they do seem worth the money. It's why I compared them to the BN75 series. Seems like they press at GZ which might be why some people have complained about them too. I'd be curious to check one out but I think after shipping to the US, might not be worth it for me. Haven't seen a list price in the US yet.
