Especially "Giants": https://www.discogs.com/The-Stranglers-Giants/release/3585983 I mean, foking hell! Freedom may be insane. But so are these prices. Still vividly remember that morning in Hamburg, early spring 2012, Michelle Records. Five copies of this sitting in the "New Arrivals" section. Ultra glad I never caved in and sold mine. Solid album. And I absolutely love the vinyls uncensored artwork. Once a reissue comes, these prices won't hold. Still... I'm keeping mine.
Mobile Fidelity did Life’s Rich Pageant and Document in 2011 so those two survived the fire at least.
Yeah, sure. Still prices like that are (or: "Have been") unusual for a mainstream (aka "widely distributed/ successful") album from the mid to late 80's. The problem with those vintage 60's and 70's albums is that they were often played on stone age equipment. And in the hands of teenagers. (Mainstream) Titles from the 80's on the other hand were mostly cheap and plentiful. Especially in West Germany where vinyl was never really passé. Still there's currently a change. The Cure, Prince, those 4AD albums.... apparently Tracy Chapman uhhuh.... there's a change in the market. Albums from that era won't probably reach the same heights as stuff from 1992 onwards, when pressing runs became smaller and not each title got a worldwide release. But: 50 bucks for "Tracy Chapman"? Not bad, not bad at all!
I got to that too late and as a RSD release most people couldn’t get it anyway. When I got to know about the release it was already sold out everywhere. It seems to only available at flippers’ price now (min. $75) unfortunately. So a larger number or non-limited release would be wonderful!
Don’t they keep reissuing Ride - Nowhere? I have a lovely 2 disc white blue swirly edition from a few years back. Wasn’t expensive at the time.
I have so many 4ad, creation, factory, Fiction LPs with prices only going one way. It does seem bizarre.
Your ‘lovely 2 disc version’ is worth quite a lot now as it’s out of print and hasn’t been reissued for about 4 years...
Hmmm thats surprising. I will have to look it up on D. I have an original too - I assume that is up too. From seeing Ride with about 75 people in Newcastle 30 odd years ago - who would have guessed the demand now?!
Did Dusk ever get released on Vinyl? I had it on tape... I have Infected on vinyl - but Dusk would be great to own.
Why should that be a factor? It's not out of print, and you don't need a subscription to order. Just $35 straight off their site. I honestly prefer that to the current MoFi approach, where they drop every new release in limited batches that are gone in days or hours, and then "Waiting on Repress" for months. Yes, other stores get copies besides MusicDirect, but only a handful, and they really don't discount them beyond the set MoFi price. At some point VMP is gonna exhaust their license on the FIona titles and then they WILL be OOP, and quite expensive. Maybe Sony will license them to someone else later, but I wouldn't bet on it.
You can buy it there and doesn't appear to be limited plus it's black vinyl and not some gimmick splatter.
The entire American Music Club catalog would be wonderful, but I'm not sure if it would make sense financially. I was able to pick up a copy of California directly from Mark E!
I'd quite like to see a vinyl reissue of Heaven and Hell's The Devil You Know. I've read it rocks harder. I have slightly selfish reasons for wanting this album to be reissued as it would mean I would have all of the Ozzy and Dio-era Sabbath studio albums on vinyl.
I did buy it there. Still for Europeans it's a bit of an effort. On the plus side: I never had issues with damaged sleeves since they are packing their stuff really well.
I could only think of Blue Train Cool Strutin as something to come out on Blue Note Classics Series. I saw Charlie Brown at first opening of this thread.. definitely CB Christmas..I love the album
Yes. I have it although its not in the best condition. Its a little noisy, i don't know if its because i bought it used or the pressing wasn't the best.
