awalkingwounded Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm fairly certain that the Bill Evans LP is the exact same concert that was just pressed for RSD titled Another Time. If that's the case, don't waste your time on something that was just $25-35 in stores two weeks ago. Yes, I know Discog prices are a little over double retail now and Evans limited stuff goes for a lot but I'd still pass since there are 6000 of these out there right now and prices will hopefully go down for those that missed out.

dawhizz Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) It's going to be really weird when these are in my local bargain bin for $2k. Edited May 5, 2017 by dawhizz Billich0986, zerohacker, Fowty Dollaz and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Had to watch video to truly understand and It seems like a weird thing to sell. A pre-master disc pretty much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bon Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 kind of.... its mastered but its like selling a porcelain bowl that hasnt been fired yet... its pre mother/father plate... this is a pretty interesting explanation of how it "usually" goes down .

MicLima Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Interestingly enough, Devialet is an anagram for Ted Lavie, a French soccer player. Coincidence? Probably. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Lavie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have the lacquers from two of my favorite records. They are hard to find. The prices I paid were WAY smaller than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
