I want some decent vinyl reissues...at affordable prices of less than $30 an album

I already picked up the new CD's but if that thing was not so pricey would contemplate
getting it.

Ouch, $279.99.

More gouging as usual but this isn't too surprising as they'll most likely sell out of this quickly. It is an interesting trinket, and if they do limit it to 30,000 (never a guarantee), then it seems like something that might actually go up in value after more than a few years. I do find it a bit funny that they release it now rather than with the box sets, as 99% of the people who would buy this already have the Stereo Box Set, but I guess this is an easy cashgrab.

I'm definitely not getting it though. The Mono Box set is good enough for me along with a few stereo albums, and unless this was a remixed Stereo, there really is no incentive at all for me to buy it.

Edit: $238.99 on Amazon. Better, but still pricey.

Pricey! But nice to see it available...

That is sweet! I wish they would day and date this stuff. I would of bought that over the boxed set, which just takes up space after I ripped the discs.

I'm very glad that they included FLAC versions. It's almost as if they're taking a stand against compressed-only audio from iTunes and the like.

However, it isn't worth it for that price. If they had included both mono and stereo versions (they had more than enough space), it would have been nice.

Temporarily sold out. At least for the U.S.

So has anyone bought this? The amazon reviews say the FLAC sound quality is amazing.

I got mine.
It is pretty cool and I'm hearing things I never heard before.
Actually this was perfect for me since I'm moving to computer audio and can take advantage of the 24 bit flac files.
