imaxcowboyx Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So I just came across this for the first time today, and needless to say, I WANT IT. I've loved SRV since I was a kid, but have never bought any vinyl because every time i come across any copies, they are beat to shit. This is pretty pricey, but I would have a bulk of what I want on vinyl (minus some live sets), and I've seen some glowing reviews of this pressing (both speeds). 33prm 6lp - $280 http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/72284/Stevie_Ray_Vaughan-Texas_Hurricane-Vinyl_Box_Sets 45rpm 12lp - $400 http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/72286/Stevie_Ray_Vaughan-Texas_Hurricane-Vinyl_Box_Sets Has anybody seen this for a better price anywhere? I'm leaning towards the 6LP set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It's been on preorder at SSD for the last year or so. Glad it's finally coming out, but I'd never be able to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Oh lord. I want that 45 RPM box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valve Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 That is a lot of cash... $47 per album in the 33 rpm version. Not really seeing what would warrant such a huge cost. weinerdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33one3rd Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I agree. It seems like used SRV records are always beat up bad. On their video it looked like a quality release. Wonder how it will sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxvinyl Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Pulled directly from the original master tapes and cut at Sterling Sound? This is gonna sound insane. Definitely will pick up the 33rpm set if the price eventually lowers a bit. ChardeeMacDennis and imaxcowboyx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bounced around a couple other forums and people were saying how great the sound was, i'm just hoping to save a little bit of cash. Interestingly enough, most were saying that these recordings wouldn't benefit from the 45RPM treatment. Not sure why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 elusive disc has 10% off right now plus free shipping and it seems to apply to this set.... just not for the 45rpm pre order which I shall wait for... really expensive for both but he is in my top 5 of all time favorites so this is a must buy!

Do you think every one of the albums in the box set are top notch music wise? I guess I am not a huge fan having only his first two. Which I really like.

bigdz68 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My only hope is someone reviews the 33 vs 45 sets when they can...I have been waiting for this set since it was announced back in 2012 and dont mind spending the extra on the 45 set if it is that much different....my table has the speed controller and the only problem would be having to turn the records over every few songs ... 12 lps vs 6 lps but I will be right in front of the speakers with it cranked and doing nothing but listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have a nice copy of the 2lp live album that I'll sell for $13 shipped in the US. PM me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for the live video releases? BTW for anyone interested in this set, Popmarket might do a daily deal on it, though it might take a year or so for it to happen. They did one for the Analogue Productions Doors 45 rpm box set not too long ago. The sale price was way less than retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdz68 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Bumping this because the 45rpm set is finally shipping! Hopefully I can find a discount code for one of the online vendors and it works since an extra 10% off would be nice. Was hoping bull moose would have it since they tend to run cheaper than most but no dice yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valve Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Anyone get this? Deep Discount DVD had the 33 rpm box for $190 with a 15% off code a while back. But status said "shipping in 5-10 days" which means they didn't have it in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 One of my friends got the 33 set when it first started shipping. Got a really low number, too. I think it was #18 or something. He said it sounded quite good and worth the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdz68 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I bought the 45rpm set with credit card reward points so I basically got it free...it is stellar! Hands down worth every penny! Bought mine from elusive disc over fathers day with 10% off but if you are a fan I would highly recommend it. Only downside with 45 set is there are about 2 songs per side so lots of flipping!

bobby Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 lord i'd love this. HUGE SRV fan, but $400 is harsh, plus i can imagine shipping to the UK would be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
