I buy the things I really really want right away looking for the best pre-sale deal using this forum for a lot of that info not worrying too much if it goes on big discount down the road. Then if something I was interested in or mildly wanted goes on clearance (like Sell Out), I'll grab it.
I just paid $100 for this box set through Rough Trade's sale (and it's en-route to me now)... Olafur Arnalds' 'Re:member' - 4LP deluxe box set. It always seemed expensive to me for what you get, but there are four LP's inside and a fair amount of unique material. Big price drop from a third-party, free-shipping seller on Amazon to $76.61. Caveats: 1) seller is in France; 2) Feedback is sketchy, but might be related to slow shipping, which is to be expected perhaps. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VSJGYY1
I never have an issue paying retail on albums I love to get them one day one as I got burned on the 40th Anniversary Live at Leed’s set that went OOP way too fast (i.e. I missed it due to a hard year taking care of family matters.) That said, I love that this forum exists for getting discounts on albums I ‘like’ and also finding artists I was not familiar with. You all have turned me on to awesome new music dozens of times over the past few years. I had original bought an Amazon warehouse copy of The Who Sell Out for like $68 last month, but returned it due to the white bag of death shipping - it came smushed - so it was awesome to reminded here. I just re-purchased a new copy of less ($63.32 as of this post.)
Ella's Xmas album is down to $23.99 right now. This is the Acoustic Sounds Series release. I have literally no interest in owning holiday music on vinyl that's not belted out by Mariah Carey but this seems like a nice price to add a well-made piece of vinyl to Ella collection: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099C8F4QJ/
I have this release, it’s excellent with great sound and pressing quality. Worth getting for Ella and holiday music fans, a truly classic album of the genre.
The Band - The Band (50th anniversary, 2xLP) is at the lowest price of $25.57 https://www.amazon.com/Band-50th-Anniversary-album-rpm/dp/B07Y9CG9Y5/
it's... different. i still think an original cut by RL is best, but both this and the MFSL are also nice alternatives if you're a fan of this album.
This is still sitting there at $19.99. I ordered and received mine the other day - awesome album and free from any pressing defects. It was shipped in a cardboard LP mailer in the dreaded white plastic bag but arrived free from shipping damage. IMO a great LP well worth getting at this price point.
I have been trying to avoid re-buys but pulled the trigger at this price. Already had original U.S. Album and CD plus had bought the new the new Bluray/CD deluxe edition. Quick question, copy I received was not shrink wrapped. Wondering if this is how everyone is receiving this album.
Couldn’t pass on Fugazi for $36.26. Was torn over the Blu-ray or LP set. Went LP. Nice price indeed. Thank to OP.
I've had it since release. Its an amazing record...just sent a copy to my cuz because the price is so right...may buy a backup copy too as i did with Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, which went down to 16.50 july 2020.
If anyone is interested in the 10th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition 5LP vinyl box set of the Black Keys El Camino, Amazon has it for $71.80 which appears to be a limited time deal and is the lowest that I have seen it: https://www.amazon.com/Camino-10th-...45666&sprefix=black+keys+vinyl,aps,131&sr=8-1
Electric ladyland $17.94 Electric Ladyland 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033AGPFS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_2CY6MNK7GWPPN58Y886X
Mono Floyd available for pre order The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Version https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PNQZHH2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_7XNFVG93CW56MVG04V4Q
I just listened to mine yesterday, I think it is the first Tone Poet that I have. I was quite impressed with the album and the sound quality, especially the dynamics of the drums are very good! You know, it is extremely rare and only happens once in a great while, but I must say that this time @aoxomoxoa actually had a good idea posting this album
Well, its the kind of record, you shag it once you just want to shag it again, and again and again when its 19 bucks!
