Online Vinyl Deals

I picked up Neil Young's Chrome Dreams from them last week for $35, and with neither tax nor shipping added to the price, I was pretty happy with that deal. (Arrived yesterday and it's the European pressing.) Their discounted offerings definitely are worth keeping an eye on.
 
My first crateism box came today. One of 10. I got Xzibit - Man vs Machine (which the jacket is totally fucked, not to mention seam splits on the sleeve yada yada) and Lana Del Rey - Born to Die....and yeah, still waiting on the other 9. I tried to cancel and refund but never heard back. Oh and also I wouldn't consider these "new" either. Maybe they have never been played, but neither were in shrink wrap and both have jacket damage.
 
Not sure what the $60 version is all about that's coming, but Target has a pre-order for it for $20.99
$21 version from Target arrived today. Cut by BG pressed at MRP. 👍 👍
 
What's the word on Elephant pressed at 3rdman?

I'm wondering this too! It's a rollercoaster of opinions on Discogs that was enough to persuade me to just stay away at the $35 price but the sale price has me rethinking things when I see comments like "it just needs a clean!" haha.. It's a shame thirdman pressings are so hit and miss though, I was expecting the quality control to be much better.

Love that Jeff Parker. I usually buy records when I see he’s on it.

Damn, damn, damn.. I guess that's the result between the United influence and the blue hair dye seeping into his bloodstream? Here's a senior citizen that tried to roll the dice and continue to do it for many decades which he now will sadly be sweating hair dye for the rest of his life. Just take a look at the extreme regret in his face. 😬

Mine was dirty as hell. Sounded much better than the mono vault they just did though. That one had awful sibilance on two tracks and was very low volume (I’ve read the comments that you need a mono cart but I’ve no issues on my Dylan monos)
you shouldn't NEED a mono cart to play a modern mono recording unless they cut it with a mono head, which i truly doubt. it will likely sound better with a mono cart though. not sure why a mono recording could cause sibilance.

my biggest issues with third man are that they are wildly inconsistent and the QC is real bad. everything is filthy coming from there, they often use paper sleeves so records arrive all scuffed up. i'd also say that nothing i have from them sounds mind-blowingly good but i just kinda stopped buying stuff from them for the most part.

100% agree. Jack was supposed to be the savior for us all. In the end he settled for good enough instead of great.
