For $114.18 I'm in for: Acoustic Sounds Series: Nina Simone - Pastel Blues (pre-order) Nina Simone - I Put a Spell On You (pre-order) Tone Poets: Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner Stanley Turrentine - That's Where It's At Art Blakey - Roots and Herbs (pre-order) Donald Byrd - Byrd in Flight (pre-order)
It seems like Target's sale includes all of their stock in the applicable categories. When I browsed Amazon, almost everything I searched for that I wanted was not part of their sale. To be fair, Amazon has a lot of physical media that Target does not carry so I don't expect Amazon to include every single media item on their website.
I almost canceled the Nina Simone Acoustic Sounds' pre-orders when looking at the Amazon sale. What Amazon has in their sale are the same titles, but from 2016, so BEWARE and take care.
Speaking of being triggered, I wonder how the packing will be when stuff ships. I had good experiences last time and didn't get anything that was damaged but IIRC others weren't so lucky. For those of you who had to replace or return stuff, how easy was it for you?
So I've only ever ordered one (that shipped) from Target - Tina Brooks' TP release. It came in an actual LP mailer (granted a thin one), but it was fine. I placed an order for 3 LPs before the current sale and two of them came today in this box...MoFi mailer for scale. The records themselves seem fine (two single LPs) and were wrapped in all the bubble air wrap. These ones are going right back to Target since I reordered with the sale. I did just get shipping notifications for 12 out of the 13 in stock items I ordered yesterday. We'll see how they get shipped!
I got the same massive box treatment for 1 record. What in the world? I'm dreading how big the box will be for my shipment of 8 records next week.
7 packages came today (totaling 10 records) - all are in LP mailers except for 1 package containing 2 records - same box as the one yesterday. Not bad.
This is kind of variation is what I remember from last time. It seems you are really at the mercy of who is packing stuff. I had two records show up last time loose in that comically large box with no damage somehow. My monk 10" box set was packed like it was meant to be shot into lower earth orbit and no burn up on re-entry. I'm really curious to see how I and others fair this time around.
Man, between this and Amazon, I just spent way too much money. And I blame each and every one of you in this thread! (because nothing is ever my fault)
Did they ever get for these Tone Poet LPs? Herbie Hancock -- My Point of View Horace Silver -- Further Explorations Jimmy Smith -- Prayer Meetin' I'm surprised I can't find them...
I couldn't find them at Target's site either so ended up getting them from udiscover with the 30% off code.
is today the last day for the target sale or is it all week? i wasnt sure if it was to compete with prime day or not.
I'm pretty sure it's through Saturday. Got another package today and now I'm seeing if I can ever beat the sheer size and power of this one.
Abba cannot be contained by a mere single mailer. Any word on the sound of that release? I love ABBA with zero hint of irony or guilt.
You're not wrong. Haven't found much - but I don't have high expectations. Goal is to give all these recent arrivals a proper clean and spin this weekend. Will update, but on sale (I think it was $26 down from $40, plus the sale) felt like it was worth picking up for 2LPs of Swedish Pop GOLD.

Well, it's been fun guys. Instead of the weekly Neil Young 4am approval email, I got a 4am cancellation notice... ... for all 60 box sets that I ordered ;( Go big or go home, right? Guess I'm going home. Right around the time pre-orders were supposed to go live too.
