Matt123 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi guys, new to the forum. Quick question. I've been searching for a 180 gram version of Tom Petty's Wildflowers without luck. Anyone know if this record exists or who is distributing it? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's available but it isn't 180 gram. It is pricey as it is out of print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NationallyFrightened Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 A local store has a copy for something like $125. If you're interested let me know and I can find out what the actual cost is. Not 180 gram I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt123 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Actual price would be great NationallyFrightened! 125$ is to rich for my blood. Especially if its not a higher grade pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 it's a high grade pressing (though not 180 g) and sounds amazing. $125 is actually cheap compared to what it goes for on Discogs/eBay type places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt123 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I guess you are correct about pricing tonyfranciosa. Only having started buying vinyl within the past year, what happens to the price of an album like Wildflowers after say Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (or any reproducer/ distributor) picks it up and starts distributing it? Does the value drop on all pressings? Trying to figure out if I should buy not at a premium or what for it to be reproduced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Why are you assuming that this is being done by someone else. No info exists of that this is a record that came out when vinyl was dead and thus is pretty limited causing the price tag if you want it buy it.

Matt123 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I most likely will purchase this LP. I guess being relativley new to vinyl I was curious about prices. When I look at an album like Dylan's Blonde on Blonde...You can find it anywhere at any price you'd like. Just wondering generally if prices fall for an album when it's reproduced. Basically supply and demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 They can fall a bit. Some of it depends on how good the new pressing is. But yeah, you usually see a dip in price if people can get a new pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get that itch it's hard to avoid that vinyl purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgPound1946 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have an original copy. I bought it from cdnow.com back in the day. The records aren't 180, they are probably standard 120 or so. Sounds really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sold my copy for $190 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds really good! One of my faorite records! Sad to say...I only have it on mp3 at the moment (I know, it's a very sad situation). Lost the CD version. Need the vinyl badly. Can't wait to hear it.

derby625 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 MFSL & MOV have the opportunity to fill a huge void with releases like this. And nice score on that Ozzy. I had one and sold it for $255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one and sold it for $255 My thoughts exactly! MFSL seems to be prety limited in terms of their offerings. Would be a great addition.

th11thson Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 There is some info out there that says a deluxe reissue is coming out in early 2015. Original info said a deluxe 20th anniversary issue was supposed to be released in time for Christmas 2014. Not sure how true either of these are but i would wait before dropping that kind of money.
