No, they sent a return courier bag for the CD. The LP packaging is very good, with a glossy almost plastic like record sleeve, adorned with some nice pictures. This web forum thing is going to need an R18 warning before long...

No, I found the Guaraldi cheaper, not the Sonny. In any case I've decided not to get the Guaraldi and have ordered the latest Sonny 3 Lp instead.

How many Craft editions are there ?
These are the masters Bernie did for Analogue Productions that got canned by Craft ?

Well maybe I'll see you there ... I dropped in this afternoon. Who knows what will actually be on sale, though... They're going to reconfigure and set up the store for the sale.

Should've waited for this sale instead of the 20% off one. Varies but usually cost + gst is around 30% off.

For those in Wellington, JB HiFi Wgtn CBD has a bargain bin of LPs $5-$10. Might be worth a look if you're into more obscure bands!

You in Welly ?
Checkout Slow Boat and RPM in Cuba St. for vinyl.
If you have transport, Low Cost Records in Petone is worth a trip.

I didn't think I'd likely want anything in store at the time, and imagined there might be a queue at 3pm, but I had to go to Chemist Warehouse almost opposite, a day late, and at 4:40pm crossed the road curious as to the length of it... Checked my stride length at home, having paced it out before I caught a bus back, and I reckon 28 meters. Mostly young, waiting in line like they were going to an event ...
Crazy! ;=}) I can see the attraction of on-line ordering, for sure.

Haha it was no problem, I decided that since it was that close on a gloomy drizzly evening not long before sunset that I could afford to cross the road and walk up & down a bit before the bus stop anyway

Just buy another Dylan album instead...or maybe I bought the recent Shadow Kingdom CD, having seen the video earlier. Now it seems to be officially uploaded. Here's the full playlist. Or search other versions... www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Shadow+KingdomA great watch, a riff on the covid era mask mandates too ;- It'd be great to combine CD quality with the film. Will they make a Blu-ray version?

Vince sounds good, better than the EU Craft CD I got at the last JB sale. My one is the Kevin Gray remaster, Bernie Grundman did the Small Batch limited edition. Big sound, typical RTI pressing - a few minor ticks etc but I find they usually reduce with more plays. The extra discs are good but not quite as good sounding as the main feature. Nice presentation although the tri-fold jacket is a pain to use so I keep the records in a separate bag. Even on sale it's a bit pricey. Currently NZ$89 shipped via the mighty Amazon! 😮

Sounds fantastic.
Great mastering and well pressed.
Shame the local prices weren't even vaguely competitive (even with 20% off).
