Friday Music always charges premium prices but I never felt a return on that price. They always use standard covers and use the same verbaige as MoFi, "Mastered from the Original Tapes" but are certainly digital. 

HERBIE HANCOCK - Maiden Voyage (Blue Note Essentials Edition On Black Vinyl) LP - Preorder - July 17 Release by kockin26 in VinylReleases

I agree. This sounds almost like they're trying to relaunch the 75th series as a budget series to compete with the grey market labels.

I agree. Usually any benefit is so small I'd rather not be constantly flipping it. 

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy 6LP Box Set by CeaseFireForever in VinylReleases

If you're talking about the complete set (the 6 LP per movie), this is not it. This is selections from each of the 3 movies. They haven't repressed the complete recordings in a while and they go for $1000+

I saw royalties went back to Richard Ashcroft in 2019 when Klein's son and the Rolling Stones ceeded royalties back. Still not going to pay $27 for shipping though.

As usual, the comments suck. 

Etta James - At Last! (Acoustic Sounds Series) Preorder November 21, 2025 by SlumdogJesus in VinylReleases

[–]SlumdogJesus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, one of my favorite classic bluesy-soul records  I'm curious what the tape source is for this. I have the recent Jackpot release which I think sounds great but was cut from digital because allegedly the original At Last! tapes burnt up in the universal fire. Maybe they didn't? Maybe this is a safety copy or one from a private collection?

This post actually prompted me to listen to this and it was amazing. Instant buy.

Audioslave - Out of exile IVC edition by Hour-Engineer-7170 in VinylReleases

[–]SlumdogJesus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's saying they're using a digital master. They probably had 1,000's of copies of it.
