I know it seems indulgent on one level. But my rationale is that I like owning really good pressings of my favorite albums, and this feels authentic--has not only the original photo layout but also the famous mistake in the typesetting of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with Thee" on the gatefold.
And it's not like I would ever spend hundreds (or even just 100) on a first-pressing of anything.

That's only 13 GB pounds (I wish I had a pound symbol on this keyboard). That's less than you'd pay for a full-price CD in the UK. So if you hadn't already then I'd say go for it.

Semblance of authenticity. Replication of original packaging and mix, etc. Fake authenticity. Don't ask me to explain more than that, becuz I know it's ridiciulous.

Seriously? Wow, that's a little pricey for a CD these days, isn't it? Most newly reissued 180gm records in my neck of the woods go for between 12-18 US dollars. That depends on the reissuing company, the release, and the store, of course. For example, I paid 18 last year for a Four Men w/ Beards reissue of Marquee Moon. Recently I paid around 14 for a Rhino (I think?) reissue of Television's Adventure. I was willing to go more for Blonde becuz it is special to me, and the repackaging is so nice. Simply Vinyl does a superb job with these things.

Thanks but I'm on a laptop and that doesn't work. Any other ideas? Or I'll just have to keep writing "pounds". And yes CD's are VERY expensive here. I very rarely buy from shops for that reason. You can get them a lot cheaper if you are prepared to look, and wait for delivery. |
