    Two years ago I found an original Apollo for $10 at a local store. Near mint... except for a deep scratch across An Ending (Ascent) <_< 

    Last one I bought was a solid NM. Looked like it had never been played. 

     

    It it sounded like a goddamn vacuum was running in the background for all tracks on both sides. 

  2. Anyone know where I can pre order Apollo in the states?

     

    Ive had three pressings of this over the years. All were pristine and legit, yet all had god awful surface noise. Just goes to show you that pressing defects aren’t anything new. 

     

    So so pumped for this. I had a ton of nice older eno pressings before these reissues started coming out, and honestly the sound quality on these abbey road reissues is so much better. 

     

    These pressings are great. I really don’t understand the hate they get from some people.

    I see a few have managed to get a bundle, only a few mind....been stuck at 1431 copies remaining, for half an hour now! :)

    Yeah I think I was able to get one nearly ordered but tabbed away to post on this thread and check a currency converter to see how much the total cost was in USD. Glad to know I wasn’t hallucinating when I thought I was able to add the bundle to my cart and almost complete the transaction. 

     

    Also so glad to know that this is a site issue and not that they just aren’t shipping to the US. I must admit I was pissed at first. 

     

    Its all good. Been waiting for this shit for years. What’s one more night?

    I'm gonna wait for a CF pressing to be announced. Can't imagine that there won't be one (or if not that there won't be another US or UK label that does it).

     

    Edit: Actually maybe there won't be one. Just seen a repose by Orb on their IG page when asked if there will be a CF pressing for the US they responded "Flightless is now a worldwide force". So we will need to see when order details cone out. Maybe they will have different distribution for US/EU/UK going forward and not ship all from Aus?

     "Flightless is now a worldwide force"

    This quote is aging quite nicely tonight

    Just because the price keeps going up doesn’t indicate they’re going fast. In fact, they could be selling slower than expected and so they’re marking them up to make more off each sale.

     

    Since there’s no stated edition, and since these just look like the standard release with paint on the sleeve, they could theoretically sell these in purpituity and just raise the price so they’re eventually $500/each. With their current practice of just raising the retail price there’s no reason to think they’ll stop offering them.

  6. Hey guys, I know this isn’t a thread for a release or reissue, and sorry to break with the norm for this forum, but I’m really having a hell of a time finding this label’s records anywhere in the US. Superfly is a French label with spotty distribution from some distributors (like Forced Exposure, for example) but no go-to source with a good selection. 

     

    Does anyone one know a good source to buy titles from this label? I’m specifically looking for their jazz reissues (in particular anything from the Strata-East label). Thanks in advance for the help.

    I've been waiting for reissues of these forever, but man, $40-$50 for a single LP release is just too much... 

    I preordered instantly from amazon.jp and it came out to $40 per LP including shipping. I got my order in early enough that I can still cancel it if I need. If it weren’t for the option to cancel, I probably would’ve passed. I keep hoping to hear of a stateside pressing for these so I can get them for cheaper. If that happens between now and then, I’m canceling my order from Japan. 

     

    I agree the price for these is crazy, but if this is my only option, I’ll bite. $40 for an import isn’t the craziest thing I’ve ever spent $40 on.

    I hope not, I can't afford to buy all the different variants in one go! I think they'll be staggered, going by Pirate Press Job Status completion dates.

    Yes, it would be a larger up front cost, but if you live State-side you will save a shit ton on combined shipping. Honestly, the shipping is the sole reason I’ve never ordered from Flightless. I’d really appreciate being able to buy all these records and spread the cost of shipping over a larger order.
