Anyone can post anything. But I'm wondering, what is the highest price actually paid for this thus far?
I guess the customers who ordered it from him at the price level of £109 and didn't get a copy aren't too thrilled...
My box number. Anyone disappointed with the finish of the box? Mine had tiny bits flaking off the inside...I managed to touch them up and you cant see them at all now but still... I wish uploading images was a bit easier on this site...[/QUOTE] Google "postimage.org"....you take picture then copy the "direct link" and insert it into this sites url box when you click on the picture icon....super easy and you dont have to download a program or anything

Its become unusable!!
Just in: my copy # 1985. Managed to get it from a Dutch record store/mailorder for the regulair retail price. Very happy with my purchase.

That would be me. For what it's worth I'm listening to Santana's Greatest Hits and I'm surprised at how good a pressing it is. I've never listened to it before even though I bought it so many years ago I don't even remember when or where I bought it. Like I always do I opened it but just now got around to playing it. Immediately following will be the One Step to see how far up the sonic scale it goes. This really is a damn good pressing, far more than I would expect from a greatest hits album. No rolled off highs or lows, lots of subtlety in the background percussion, tonal balance is quite good, guitar sings and the voices are very good. If this was the only album I ever heard from Santana I wouldn't be disappointed. As soon as Oye Como Va plays I'll put that song on from the One Step and compare.
https://www.discogs.com/Santana-Santanas-Greatest-Hits/release/1768258 for anyone who is interested in this particular pressing. The way some people talk about greatest hits albums you would think they were generally pressed on mud pies taken from someone's close and play stereo as the source. I guess I just tend to have good luck. I don't have very many greatest hits albums but the ones I have tend too be quite good pressings. This is one of them.
One thing I never heard was whether or not Acoustic Sounds ever got any copies at all. If they didn't why did some place in The Netherlands get some? Regardless, the copy I had originally ordered from Acoustic Sounds ain't coming, but Pink Floyd's Animals should be here by dinner.

Chad offered to do that and apparently came up empty. Sigh. I'mm looking forward to the Bill Evans albums though.

problem of language : i am not fluent 100%. By duties, i meant income taxes. These companies are pretting good for optimizing this aspect. Bear with me. i am not against USA, i am against people who force you to take Fedex and force you to pay very high expanses for s/h. a normal usps rate is around $15/20 and buying from Elusive, AS, Mofi makes minimum $20 for a cd and $33/42 for a vinyl ... hardly acceptable
It's the EU customs union, the very thing the politicians are arguing over with regard to Brexit here. Quite clearly we are better off out of it and to have a good deal with the USA.
