Ordered the Beefheart box as described above, then today got this order cancellation notice from Amazon: "We're writing to inform you that your order has been canceled. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. In most cases, you pay for items when we ship them to you, so you won't be charged for items that are canceled.* Order Details Order #(redacted) Placed on Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Sun, Zoom, Spark: 1970 to 1972 (Limited Edition)(4LP 180 Gram Vinyl) Sold by -importcds Cancel Reason: Technical Problem" Bummed! It did seem too good to be true, but some people got lucky.
Are you rolling the dice? If so can you report back what you get? I might be interested in picking one up myself.
Got mine today, thanks! On a side note, does anyone know any good record sleeves that box sets like this one would fit in? Normal record sleeves are not wide enough.
I don't know how large this one is, but I use the packaging from MoFi inner sleeves (50 pack) on some box sets. Mosaic jazz LP sets fit perfectly.
Mine should be here in the next day or two so I am not sure of the size but bagsunlimited sells a 14" x 14 1/4" 2 mil polyethylene sleeve. These only come in a minimum 50 pack so if you only need one sleeve, place an order for other sleeves that you'll use, and ask them to send you a sample of this larger sleeve.
Got my Beefheart almost two weeks ago and still haven't cracked the seal. I will compare with originals and if I find no big difference, I would be happy to sell mine at original price paid, (thanks to this thread!)
One of the four albums in that Beefheart box is material never before on vinyl...No matter what, if you're a vinyl person, that's a keeper. Even that one album is worth the purchase price.
Eh... there's a few gems on there, but I think they were stretching it to fill a whole album, even going so far as providing "alternate mixes" of songs that don't sound that different from the original. I sorta feel like I paid $100 for 3 albums, but hey, I love Beefheart, and it was this set that actually brought me to vinyl.
I don't know if this is of any use to any of you but this: is currently $85.52 at amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Vladimir-Horowitz-Complete-Original-Collection/dp/B002P3J3BW Although if you'd rather only pay $71.63 then go here: http://www.importcds.com/complete-original-jacket-collection-70pc/886975750023
Not Amazon US... But Amazon DE seems to have made an error and The Wall vinyl is priced ridiculously cheap. http://www.amazon.de/Wall-Vinyl-LP-...=sr_1_7?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1431277854&sr=1-7 Works out to about $10 shipped to the US. It's not in stock, but Amazon has come through on every pricing error they've made, so I'm confident.
http://www.amazon.com/Selections-He...1283126&sr=1-2&keywords=Headquarters+Sessions Monkees Headquarters Sessions limited edition red wax for $6.01.....weren't these like $20.00 new?
They ship quickly but I have hd issues with poorly packaged items. They will replace items for you, though.
Here is another curiously low-priced LP, at €2,65: http://www.amazon.de/The-Piper-Gates-Dawn-Vinyl/dp/B00004WPME
