Shipping came to $120, and they don't exactly pack well for a trip to NZ. But hey, they're Tone Poets!

Yes, check out WILT
I saw they had two cheapish Bernard Herrmann records, did a dummy buy to checkout shipping and was surprised to see a buy one, get one half price offer, so hit the buy button.
Listening notes later

That's going to be a decent sized package

Took about 4 weeks to arrive but Box was undamaged; so thankfully no corner dents.

Good score. I was expecting a copy of Nancy and Lee I won off TM but Aramex ate it

Post by Citroen on Jan 6, 2023 17:16:51 GMT 12
I'm still waiting for some albums notified as on board/ awaiting delivery from 29/12 and 30/12 from Aramex.
Christmas delays? Or hopefully not again, the driver has covid and has his van full of goods stuck at his home.
|
Post by michaelw on Jan 6, 2023 21:43:56 GMT 12
Contacted seller to lodge a claim, he tells me Aramex just picked up the record today, despite logging it in on Dec 21.
What a bunch of Richards.

Apparently attempted delivery twice. Once they said no one was at home and second time they "couldn't access the property".
The thing is they have instructions on where to leave parcels if no-one is home and have done so for many years. Must be a new delivery guy!

Are prices INSANE for vinyl these days? Picture of Heath - Chet Baker locally is around NZ$110 for a single LP, non-gatefold, which is about a third more than standard Tone Poets. Despite people are complaining left right and centre that it skips on side two! Shades of 1812 and Led Zep? "We’re aware of the complaints about the Tone Poet Vinyl Edition of Chet Baker & Art Pepper “Picture of Heath” from some customers who are experiencing skipping on side two, while for most it plays fine. We’ve looked into it and have determined there is no defect with the pressing. It is however a very dynamic recording and Joe Harley & Kevin Gray don’t use any limiting or compression in their mastering approach. That can expose the need for some adjustments to be made with particular turntable set-ups. For instance, we’ve found that customers who adjusted their tracking force and anti-skate (even slightly reducing both), and made sure their turntable is level, no longer had playback issues. We hope this helps!" Steve Hoffman forum has a thing or two to say on the matter if you want a chuckle/have time to waste!

Ordered Wayne Shorter Emanon signed, deluxe boxset. It's been on various wishlists for years, watched prices go down up and all over so finally ordered a copy. 3x LP + 3x CD ?
