The only suggestion I have is do not listen to boring music, so you will be awake at the end of the side.

I saw that medium price for a single volume is around 150 $ on discogs so it was a bargain anyway. For me a little too big bargain in these times if you understand what I mean 😁

Of course not, I meant the total, more then 100 of taxes and 40 shipping if I remember well, so I passed

It was few bucks less then 500, so I passed.

I am tempted, thanks Chuck!

First heard of him on Peanuts, Lucy maked fun of Snoopy about Aaron beating Ruth HR records before him.

In Italy Prime membership is less then 50 € per year. I did a small research: in Italy Prime sellers may ship through Amazon logistic, and they are charged somthing like 3/4 € for normal size item, or may ship by their own and they have to fullfill the Prime standard: speed, trackability, ecc..

I am curious how a seller may ship for free with prime, any clue?

As seller I used to compare different options, there are tons of shipping one can buy online, a part standard postal shipping, dozens of different parameters, weights, sizes, countries, registered, unregistered, etc.. At the end I could offer different options: the cheapest, the cheapest and fastest, the cheapest and most secure shipping, something like that. It was easy and friendly. And buyers were happy they could choose the shipping they prefer. I spent a couple of afternoons trying to fill the form of discogs, no way, it was impossible to fit the best shipping options. So I guess every sellers chosed one standard shipping that usually rised the cost.

Expecially small sellers like me. I always found good deals on shipping with buyers. Maybe I am naive but I miss the times when buyers and sellers talked to each others in order to get a satisfactory deal.

Eddie Bert sessions

Agree, I was one of the sellers pissed of by the new compulsory shipping policy, totally nonsense, after that I am done with discogs.

Nice one

Wikipedia reports that in 2001 Harrison wanted to remix the record in order to remove most of the reverb, but EMI vetoed it.

I was okay with Let It Be since I listened to LIB Naked...

I like Spector's work on some Lennon records, I like it less on Harrison All Thing Must Pass.

I think I am going to listen to Let It Be and Let it Be DeSpectorized again.

I think it depends on who printed the records: mayors have a direct access to SIAE so they incorporate the mark in labels. Indies have to apply the stickers though I am not sure. There were lots of troubles about copyright fees between artists and SIAE in the past. In general SIAE was convenient for broadcasters because they had general agreements with only one part, less for not so “big” artists. Now internet changed the playground.

Actually I don’t know about stickers’ policy but I checked in my books and records: all imported records have stickers, on label or cover or shrink wrap, old domestic LP has SIAE printed on label, like GEMA in german records. Recent books don’t have stickers, old books may have it. Sorry if I wasn’t very helpful.

(4Menwithbeards reissue)

I am not really acquainted with all the later works but I can’t remember a sloppy Sonny’s record of the fifties or sixties.

Not compared directly, but after listened to my first Tone Poet, I think that MM are very very slightly better, sonically speaking, but not so better to justify their price, the art and the quality of covers are almost the same, again MM has thicker cardboard but who cares. Edit I mean 45rpm MM, never heard 33rpm.

My first Tone Poet, excellent, bought in a record shop close to my home. I think I'll get the few records I miss. Overall they cost like a japan reissue, considering shipping, and they are brand new.

You can't go wrong with Sviatoslav.
