    I'm going to grab these but hate when they spread original albums over two LPs. I wonder if they do it just keep the first press more special? I would think it would be cheaper to manufacture it as one.

    I am 100% convinced that the 1LP to 2LP move is a scam. I hate it! I actually have yet to personally find a reissue that moved to 2 LPs that sounded better than the original on 1LP. I'm sure there are examples out there where this specific move did improve the sound, but by and large it is just a gimmick. They can make more money with 2LPs because a heavier, "more substantial" package is perceived as being worth more to the legions of totally inexperienced vinyl buyers who have come out of the woodwork in the last 3 years, and the production vs sales revenue math works in their favour. Less obsessed buyers tend to think 2LPs is better (because that's what many in the industry would have you believe). It has nothing to do with keeping the original special. Yes, I know all about spreading it out more and how that can improve sound quality .... it's just that most don't do that. They just throw a digitally sourced album onto two records instead of one and up the price by $15 or whatever. Meanwhile, our album listening experience is negatively impacted. All those record changes can disrupt the flow of an album. :angry:

    I think 15 percent, I added like four other records to make it worthwhile.

    Amazon is the worst company to preorder from. I will never do it again. I always end up getting a preorder way too late, and far beyond the release date, while the record is readily available everywhere. It's stupid. No point in preordering at all if that's how it goes.

    I received my order today. Shipped 4/21 and arrives in the US 5 days later. I didn't expect shipping to be that fast.

    Between the LPs I got on RSD, these three TH, and a road trip to Boston tomorrow to see Steve Winwood, I need to find some time to spin these. Not a bad problem to have!

    Good News:

    Music @ Work
    In Violet Light
    Phantom Power

    Reissues being released on vinyl @ musicvaultz.com on July 14th.

    I used the code WELCOME to get 15% off.  I think that makes it the cheapest place to get them (even if the shipping is a bit slower).

    I'm not sure if the WELCOME (upper case) code is 1 time thing or not.   I was eager to place the order for the last 3 that I missed out on using it, but at least I got to use it on this one.

    This almost finishes my hip collection.   Hopefully World Container gets a vinyl release.   You can still find everything from Now For Plan A or newer, but world container is impossible (or almost impossible) to find :(

    it would be cool if they released the 3 Hip Club tracks on 7" or 10". 
    Darwinspeed, all.

    I'm happy these are getting released.  I got the last three a few weeks ago and glad I got them.  But making these 2 LPs is starting to get me thinking it's time to boycott this trend. Screws up the flow.

    But I will probably cave in....
