    Doubtful, if they are Clearance items.

    Brickseek provides a clue (just a clue, the site is not very accurate) of where, say, the Jimi Hendrix Winterland Vinyl might be available.

    https://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/

    Here in Los Angeles, the only possibility coming up is in Downtown Los Angeles. Can't guarantee the price; can't guarantee the availability; it's just a tool that might be useful.

    I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting to get back into the States so I can hit up my local Target and see if anything is left.

    So looks like the online sale is pretty much over, went to recommend the green A Love Supreme to a friend and see its back to normal price. A shame, maybe some copies still out at stores but none in my area that I can find. I was so impressed with that record though I just had to share.

    Got the Wally World blue copy through third party and cut wavs of both it and the Target one so I can compare what they look like and will report back here. I could give my impressions of the sound (I think the Target one is heads above the other in every way) but I do not have my system listed in my profile so think I will restrain myself to just evaluating what the machines tell me.

    Meanwhile though, any feedback on this Stevie Wonder "1s" red vinyl set? Even though its not on sale, I still could use it to fill holes...and it looks like it has at least one good side of tracks I love without the surrounding tracks I didn't so much love.

    Stevie Wonder - Number 1's (target Exclusive, 2lp) (vinyl) : Target

    Any experience with this release? Pressing quality, sound quality, dynamic range, editing of tracks etc?

    All responses appreciated.

    Great to hear the Love supreme is great ! I know a few of my stores still have them but they don't show as in stock in the stores . a lot of these lps don't show up as being at the store but are there .

    I don't have the stevie but i did buy the Diana Ross number 1's 1st one had to go back as it was warped , 2nd one was nice & flat & plays well & i'm very happy for the $10 i paid , it sounds really good . Not audiophile by any means but it's still a really enjoyable listen

    some stevie reviews are here , pretty mixed

    thanks for the link on reviews, I dont know why I dont check Discogs automatically for reviews.

    Sounds kinda sketchy actually, if I could get it half price I would jump on it but as it is think I will hold off and in the meantime (when it cools off around here) think I will visit a Tar-ghet or two in person soon and see what they got in the racks.

    After the holidays earlier this year, the local Target had the Stevie Number 1's for about $8.

    Do all Targets tend to have the same restock day? The titles at my location were the same as last week. Of course someone snagged all the Beatles. I was hoping they'd get a new load in by now.

    My Target had about 30 copies (maybe more) of the new Sting, some Demi Lovato and Leon Bridges on clearance. That was about it.

    Listed as 2 copies at my local Target, but unfortunately not really there when I checked again tonight. Did pick up White Stripes - Greatest Hits ($15) and Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On ($12.50) , but the Marvin will be returned because the bonus poster wasn't actually inside.

    And in case you're wondering what that big unmarked black box is mixed in with the other LPs , it's Kanye West - Donda (don't know if it's discounted).

    I just got one, the green vinyl one, and I found my poster inside the non-record half of the gatefold. Wouldn't have even seen it, wasn't looking for it, but it just kind of fell open and there was something in there, the poster. Might check that out if you haven't already, it might be hiding in there.

  16. The Marvin may also have Kanye or something else not Marvin on side B (no schiit). Mine did come w/o the poster, and side B is actually Kanye.

    fmfxray373 Capitol LPs in the 70s were pretty good.

    The clerk at my store in SoCal told me new vinyl is put out on Fridays.

    I haven't seen any Eminem whatsoever at my Target (even before). Be cool if they got some of those in at that price.

    My local Target had a sale tag mentioning ‘Buy 2 Beatles items and get a $10 Target gift card.’

    Some Targets sell vinyl on end camps as a normal business practice without any clearance sales going on. You just have to look sometimes.

    I’ve noticed both Walmart and Target overstock vinyl while Barnes and Noble will only have one or two LPs of the same title. When I buy a King Crimson LP at BN if it is the only one in the stacks a replacement will show up in about a week.
    Both approaches can be annoying.

    It was full price at my Target when I scanner checked it last week (primarily to figure out what the hell it was!)

    Ringo and Paul both have enough money now, so they're not shopping at Target much anymore.

    People are flipping the stuff (and from Walmart). It's funny to see them buying up some of the sale/reduced and trying to sell at a higher cost.
