Thanks. I paid slightly more than double that price upon release (I was able to get it at a discounted price when I purchased). The original UK vinyl is slightly better, sound-wise, but so slight as to hardly be worth mentioning. (The exception is "Drawn To The Deep End", which was a 2x45 RPM in it's original incarnation, and does have a better sound.) While none of these albums will be on any list of audiophile wonders, I love all of the albums and hope that you folks enjoy them as well. It's a very well done set.
I briefly questioned whether I should have spent $200 hurriedly buying about 19 items from this latest Blowout Bin re-stock ... But then I entered everything that shipped (I missed out on a few Japanese SHM-CD discs I'd wanted) into Discogs and while only 9 of 19 titles have previous "sold" values in Discogs, just the Median values of prior sales of those 9 titles equals around $380. So I got perhaps $600-700 worth of vinyl LPs, boxed sets, and made-in-Japan CDs, for $200 (prices below don't include the "NORAH" discount, which was applied to the sub-total of each order).

Did anyone else order the Tangerine Dream "Destination Berlin" LP from the Bin recently? It's the limited edition, blue vinyl, numbered version (out of 1000). Well, I received my copy today and I got #9. Yes, number NINE out of 1000. I don't know how it's possible that I got such an early number when I'm purchasing it at closeout prices. Anyone else get a low number?
Made me look, too (just picked up the package at the PO today and hadn't opened it) and I think I beat you both - I got #6.
How can they call it “the FINAL site-wide WINTER sale coupon” when it expires over a month before winter BEGINS?
the rest of what you shared were completely gone by the time i ordered but i did get this sandy coast LP and it's awesome music. i'm embarassed i'd never heard of it until now. another high-quality MOV release.
Glad you snagged it! I got excited when I saw that one…I’m a big fan of ‘60s Nederbeat and those MOV releases have been fantastic.
Got my Gene CD box and Yours For The Taking LP. Only had time to listen to side A tonight but man, this was a hell of a deal. I couldn't have justified the vinyl box but I'm also sorry I missed out. Good stuff.
I received everything today. The Fall - Reformation Post TLC was, indeed, the 4CD Cherry Red version with an added Obi strip (so was the Revillos, actually).
Last Day of Sharkie. I went outside the box on this one and ordered some Christmas gifts for the family, some deep discounted History and Bio books, 3 NY Jet Pez Candies, Two Funko's for my daughters, the VHS puzzle for a grab bag and I did grab that $4 Peter Green CD for myself Peter Green Man of the World: Anthology [Import] United Kingdom - Import on DeepDiscount
Unsure if these are new cd titles in the bin or if I’m only just now seeing them. Look up by name: The Lilac Time (newest album on cd, file under Stephen Duffy) Nits - Adieu Sweet Bahnhof (classic, on cd, file under amazing, Golden Earring) Steve Kilbey - The Slow Crack
I finally broke down and bought that Gene boxed set. I know virtually nothing about the band, but the samples I listened to were intriguing and it seemed like such an amazing deal. And a lot of people on here seemed so excited about them. I also got this Ladytron album: $3.99 Ladytron Witching Hour [Bonus Tracks] [Import] on DeepDiscount There was a Manic Street Preachers deluxe I was gonna get too, but it was gone by the time I made my purchase. C'est la vie. I also noticed a couple of Suzanne Vega albums were in the Bin in case anyone's interested... $3.99 Suzanne Vega Vol. 1-Close Up-Love Songs [Import] on DeepDiscount $5.17 Suzanne Vega From the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles [Import] on DeepDiscount
I came dangerously close to ordering the Gene box, even though I’d put “Olympian” in my “to be donated” pile the day before the Bin got restocked. Call it the Showaddywaddy effect. Hope you enjoy it, though! No idea how long this Nella Dodds CD on Ace/Kent has been in the bin, but it’s good stuff and worth 3.99 of anyone’s money.
I didn't order the Tangerine Dream, but you did make me look at the other MOV titles that I ordered. My Randy California – Kapt. Kopter And The (Fabulous) Twirly Birds is #21 of 1000. Not single digits like you guys, but still pretty good.
Not in the bin, but this excellent 5CD post punk box set To The Outside of Everything is a mere 8.91 right now…
I had the same exact thought as you. I didnt know anything from this band. But sampled some tracks and thought it was really good. I really dig Uk 90s bands. Ordered it as well.
Thanks for the tip! I am listening to snippets of the songs now, and it sounds like it's well worth a few bucks. I think I'll buy myself a copy, and maybe a couple to give as holiday gifts.
