Oh no, that's just heartbreaking

It just feels secondhand!

 

Second trashed parcel in just over a week. The other one was a Tears For Fears RSD live 2LP. But I found another mint copy from a seller in Melbourne, for a good price, who was kind enough to send it with AusPost proof packaging when I explained the situation. I'm selling the first one for half price on eBay to cut my losses.

 

I was about to pull the trigger but thought I'd check where it's pressed.

David Bowie

Brilliant Adventures 18xLP box set
AU$469.11
https://amzn.asia/d/0lkTtlt

 

That's a good price in A$. I paid about £300 for mine on release. It's a really good set as it's most likely to have the Bowie records that you don't own. I never had ANY of what was in this box on vinyl....just previously on CD.....but I had most of the other LPs in all the previous boxes, and will also already own every vinyl in the next box, unless they are exclusive to that box.

TEAC 12 Days of Christmas Album $2.99

Stocking filler!!! Audiophile holy grail.

Arrives 12 days before Christmas

 

Sure, why not.

 

Cheap!!

 

I can think of 12 reasons ! But I’ve pulled the trigger anyway

 

It'll go nicely with the Crosley turntable

 

Looking forward to reviews of soundstage, instrument separation and bass extension. Is it crankable? A warm, analogue sounding pressing? What's on the deadwax?

Thank you in advance

Thank you, I bought out of curiosity.
Interesting to note that it's made in China.
I wonder if the Chinese have clocked a gap in the supply chain of records.
If that's the case and there is capacity to press in China, I wonder if there will be forthcoming counterfeit market, like the CD box sets.

All Things Must Pass - 50th Anniversary (8LP)

$199

https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B096TRV85G/

 

I really hope the Chinese don't start pressing records. I wonder if this was actually pressed there? Teac is now Chinese but maybe the records are from elsewhere? It's arriving today so I can get a good look out of interest!!!

 

Blimey! It turned up in resealable sleeve, poly lined inner, colour insert, 180gm and says Made in Australia... Features American, British and Australian musicians....perfect Xmas gift. SQ review pending...

 

SQ pretty good. Dead quiet. No skips. Nice tonality...good bass response. Songs are typically Christmas but tastefully done with piano and acoustic guitar by Jesus....who knew???

 

Looks like Implant Records pressing - they use those resealable covers (used them for my record)

 

I've never heard of Implant. Are they Aussie? There can't be many pressing plants here?
