dosjam Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Per True Blue e-mail: Several years ago, Fantasy Records produced a series of 24 10" LP as custom pressings for Japan. The covers are exact replicas of the original artwork. Recently, they discovered an overstock of these collectors' items. We are making these titles available for a limited time at $17.98 per LP. We will be placing an order for these titles on Monday, August 1. For prompt delivery, please place your order before then. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. Has anyone heard these? Are they analog or, like the current OJCs, basically a CD on vinyl? DosJam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Is there a list of titles available? I'd be VERY interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Is True Blue running any discounts/specials/coupons these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Not sure this nets a complete list, but it should... Go to the True Blue search page (HERE), and type this into the KEYWORD seach field: Prestige 10" LP Then check the radio-button marked "Album Title", and then hit the search button. Brings up 24 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I thought Dmitry's list was already comlete Too bad the site doesn't offer more info. I could swear I saw some of these at a local Tower some years back. If they were from the same production run, I can at least vouch for the covers looking very nice.

mikeweil Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) I'd rather see some 10" reissues of stuff that never was on 12", like the Fantasy Cal Tjader Trio ..... Edited July 27, 2005 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Acoustic Sounds will be selling these for $25. The covers match the original graphics. There are no bar codes or legal lines. From Acoustic Sounds: "As far as we can tell, these are not digital transfers. These were made years ago and have been taking a nap in the Fantasy warehouse. We bought as many as we could. they're cool. I'm even buying a few." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
