By the way, I see Record Mule has a nice combined shipping deal- that always helps.  Thanks for the heads up!

RM is a real good seller. good communication, quick transactions, well packaged.fast shipping. very fair pricing.

when I see their name listed on a record I want, they get my business

There are so many bogus record dealers on Discogs (and even worse, in my opinion, on eBay), so it is always great to hear of a good one.  So thanks for the dealer review!

should state that I have yet to see a used title from them, but my purchases via discogs are primarily new sealed copies. but given my experience thus far I'd still trust their judgement.

stay away from a seller pop.market from kentucky. nycvinyljunkie gets a poor grade from me as well.

I’ve had no problems with pop.market. Bought from them 2 or 3 times now.

The only North American seller I buy from on discogs because the shipping charges are about 15-20% of what everyone else is. ($3.49 US per album)

I think they're in over their head. common theme in the negative comments of cancelled orders.

Not something I would leave negative feedback over. Cancelled orders happen and if it’s new wax I can easily purchase it elsewhere. Small potatoes

Actually paid $100 CDN for this. Never played. 

Don’t usually go for picture discs but it’s the only vinyl pressing of this. I’ll give it a spin later 👍.  Fingers crossed it doesn’t sound like shite.

It’s sounds fantastic!! Only thing I would suggest is put the records in different sleeves, they “stick” in the original packaging when taking them out. Nice score, enjoy!!

Just finished listening. Really impressed with the sound. Good call on the sleeves, every record I purchase gets Mofi inners 👍.  Static is a real problem here as the humidity is so low.

Edit - the lame ass download card was stuck to Side D. It took all of Side A and B to clean it off.

Mofi inners are good quality.  Might I suggest another step up for your really high end stuff? 

These are terrific!  They are back-ordered but should be coming in again before too long. Worth every penny!:

Behold the best LP inner sleeve ever designed. Our Diskeeper Ultimate Audiophile inner sleeve is the first anti-static "rice paper" sleeve to use paper laminate on both sides for the highest strength and longest life possible. These laminated sleeves are nearly indestructible, and lined inside and out with extra-soft high-density polyethylene to prevent static and scratches from damaging your valuable records.

Thanks for that Brian! But I have ordered these from a Canadian seller:
https://vinylstoragesolutions.ca/collections/12-inch-lp-record-products/products/coming-soon-2-mil-rice-paper-inner-sleeves-25-pieces

They are every bit as good and only $12.50CDN for 25. Just can’t beat that. The proprietor is a vinyl guy and has some really cool stuff to help us geek out. The outer sleeve protectors are awesome.

How are their outers? I'm always hunting down better ones.  I do like the sleeve city ultimate 5mm but they really need one door single and another for gatefold.  The one they have now can be a struggle even for something like the tone poets.

He has 13” outers for the tone poet series. I have some and they work fantastic. They are resealable and you can use two of them so the gatefold is protected and you can still open it up.
They come with an outside pocket that you slide the record inside the gatefold our outside the back of the sleeve.  Kind of hard to explain bu the website (link above) has videos to show what I’m feebly trying to explain lol. 

2mm and 4mm thickness options. 

It’s really convenient not having to remove the wax from the sleeve every time you play. Keeps the condition of the sleeve NM.

Really good guy, excellent customer service. Tried to convince him to make some sleeves for the PJ Vault series. Told him there is a bunch of folks who would buy them. 👍

I used to used to order this combo pack.  It was perfect.  Ultra thick and crystal clear. The singles were super tight and gatefold were great. Unfortunately they haven't been stocked since the pandemic started.  May not even be in business anymore.
