The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

 

The mono mix was released on vinyl in many countries.

 

I did the same thing...talked myself out of the box and bought...

Then, some months later I was in an Exchange with a few boxes of vinyl I was parting with and they offered me half off a mono box which I took because their price on it at the time was $300 or a tad more. Anyway,seemed like a good deal. I still haven't opened it and still tempted to buy single copies of RS & Revolver when I see them. They seem to be getting harder to find as of late.

 

I have the complete set plus an extra sealed Pepper but I think it’s time to get a box. Probably wait for the next 20% off sale from one of the big three. Anyone know of a better deal on a box?

 

It says out of stock and rare. They will try to get it for you. Good luck with that

 

We might be being a touch hasty here. Post Christmas, I’ve seen it before when records appear to have gone out of print...only for them to start appearing again by about Feb/March time. It could be that stock gets depleted at that time of year.

 

This, of course, assumes there is stock to replenish retail inventory and/or there will be a repressing.

 

Was it free? <ducking>

 

Fanks.

Where does it say they're getting more? All I see is

"Out of stock rare item. We will try to get it for you."

 

I always gotta wonder about those notices - Amazon also does it, showing something as "Temporarily out of stock." If it seems like that particular item is going OOP, I always figure that it's gone and not coming back. But if it's really "coming soon" to that many individual Bull Moose stores, it would have to be a repress. On the other hand, why would they repress the mono LP when they just re-released it as part of a larger, more expensive box that they'd really like you to buy instead?

We'll not know for sure anytime soon, but I think those mono LP's are OOP and not likely coming back.

 

In the "Find in Store" section it optimistically says "More coming soon" at all the store locations.

 

No

 

Thanks. I just noticed that, although I don't know how much stock (ha ha get it?) I place in that assurance.

 

Not necessarily. Steve Hoffman has asked members that are giving opinions on sound quality to fill out their profiles. Some people are listening through boom boxes and iPods . Thanks.

 

I look at the situation this way. If it is OOP, it won’t be long until it’s going for $100 -$200 for just that title. For about $268 (on sale, free shipping) you get your Pepper in a fab box with over a dozen bonus albums! No brainer!

 

Was in Barnes and Noble last night in NYC and was looking at Beatles vinyl and they had tons and tons of albums, but only ONE copy of one mono album (Revolver) and I had to pick it up. $22. Happy to know I have a back up now as Revolver in mono is the definitive version of that album for me.

 

The "more should arrive soon" is just an automated message. It's not a real indication that more are on the way. Of course, if more become available to Bull Moose, I'm sure they would obtain them. But don't hold your breath...

 

I noticed at Acoustic Sounds last night that all the Mono LPs are in stock except Pepper. They have box sets also. Noticed the Stereo Pepper is not in stock also. Only the remix is in stock.

 

I ordered two boxes at the time, just to make sure I would end up with at least one good box on release day. Happily, both boxes arrived in fine condition and I'm glad I have held on to both. I get to play one and enjoy it, while the other is set aside for a rainy day.

These boxes are so good that I might even consider selling my 60s Parlophones someday.

 

Went to my local RS, sold out apparently.

 

Lol.

 

I'll check next time I'm in and let you all know the facts. They are pretty good at fairly accurate indicators. it's either "In Stock", "Out Of Stock-More Coming Soon", or "No Longer Available" is one I often see....on this subject (Sgt Pppers releases) there are many such "Out of Print" notices.

 

I'll check for sure on the status when I'm in town. Below in "locations' it says "More Coming Soon"...we'll see. I'm not optimistic either.

 

I bought it from music direct a couple of months ago and it is still listed as in stock. A bonus is the fact that music direct takes a lot of extra care when packaging lps.
