1. Search by the UPC on google for the Clifford Ball box set. Indie shops that have it in stock will show up in the search results. Indie shops are selling it between $450 and $500. The distrubter for this title had a price of $350 for indie record shops, so the $100+ markup is to cover the shop's margins. It sucks, but from the record store employees I spoke with, they paid $350 just to get a copy in their store. Careful with this one though, came out of GZ and some reports of warps are showing up. 2. No clue on this one. 3. The live phish series may be dead, or (more likely) they haven't announced new albums because of the long delays at pressing plants. They may announce new releases once they have them in hand or slightly before manufacturing is complete.

Still havent seen Hush in the US. Zia records is showing a 2/25/2022 release date now.

I'm really enjoying the new album as well. Are you in the US? I haven't found a US shop that has the vinyl in stock. I have it preordered from Zia.

I have an extra white vinyl copy with black labels. Unnumbered. Open to offers if people are still looking, otherwise I will add it to Discogs.

So from the pics posted online, the Scarry book just looks like an oversized baby board book that holds 3 records? Was hoping it'd be more like the recent hardcover included with OkComputer or the last Yorke solo album. Definitely seems overpriced for what it is.

Merchbar changed the listing details back to the regular Beck pressing. The old bait and switch move.

My original notes said a 10/22 release date. So I was expecting it to ship last week or around this time. The Dec 25 date is what I saw on my locals website which links up to their distributor. It'd be coming through the Canadian distributor, as mentioned above.

Did the vinyl release get delayed until Dec 25th? That's what is showing on my local record store's website.

Curious why they haven't posted a pic of the BSBD Wax Mage. Maybe hasn't been pressed yet.

I believe they intend to keep all the Tone Poets and Classics in print, more or less, butpressing plants are so backed up right now that represses are slowly trickling in. Some of the early BN Classics titles are being restocked at a variety of vendors, e.g., Lee Morgan's Sidewinder.

I talked to Plaidroom. They are not doing a pre-order for this. They did say they ordered hundreds of copies of this title. It'll drop the night of November 4, when they release their "new releases" email. Also, likely to be Limit 1 Per Customer. My guess is they'll charge $55 for it, and it'll ship for free. Seems like their prices are always a few dollars less than every other shop.

Received my copy of LLO from Burnt Toast today. It's a 10 out of 10. I own the Big School Records gold pressing as well, and this new version far surpasses that in overall quality and attention to detail. It's a heavy weight trifold jacket with reflective printing. Tons of glossy photos. All LPs are clean and come in Gotta Groove MoFi-style rice paper inner sleeves. Also includes printed paper sleeves with additional artwork. A small insert with more photos and information. Recording notes, etc. The LPs are a little different from the mockups. I ordered the amber with black swirl but it ended up being more of a multicolor swirl. Doesn't really matter that much, just worth mentioning. Still looks greatm. I have only listened to Side A thus far. Plays clean. I think everyone here will be really pleased with this reissue.

I think the LB reissue was pushed back to July 2 release date,

When do you have to cancel by? Or can you cancel immediately?

Mono vs. Stereo is an apples and oranges comparison, but I'm glad you're happy with both versions. I have the UHQR and it's a wonderful pressing. Also have the 2013 mono reissue and that too is incredible. But jazz in general I think sounds better in mono.
