Ryan8765 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hey op. Thanks for posting this. I didn't know the details on this release and thought the RSD exclusive was going to be it. It's a relief to find this for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Grabbed both for just over $47 shipped. This intrigued me enough to add both to my cart and run a conversion rate to see the final price. When I saw that it was also $47, I pulled the trigger. $47 shipped for two x2 LPs is a pretty good deal... but $47 shipped for these two x2 LPs is a phenomenal deal.

WHERE are you people seeing $47 shipped for these? On Rough Trade £14.99 Agaetis Byrjun + £19.99 ( ) + £8.50 shipping - £7.25 deducted tax = £36.23 = $54.83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Amazon UK probably. That's where I got my AB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 ⬆ And that was where I made the mistake, too. It's not in Euros (€), but rather Pounds (£). My error. It is $54 after all. Considering the quality of music and how pricey they would be to track down, otherwise, that extra $7 isn't anything I'll lose sleep over.

kidamnesiac Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ah. GBP my friends. GBP. Well anyway, I'll probably still order. Best deal on these I've seen in a long while. Anyone sort out the difference between the £14.99 Agaetis Byrjun (preorder) and the £19.99? I'm guessing the £19.99 copies are the current DMM and the $14.99 is the RSD repress.

Anyone sort out the difference between the £14.99 Agaetis Byrjun (preorder) and the £19.99? None that I can tell. I looked over both descriptions: both are obviously x2 LPs, and sound identical. Maybe there's a discounted rate on pre-orders? I've seen it before. The only other thing I've considered... is that perhaps the pricier version has a few features not addressed in the description. [Thicker jacket, 180 gram, etc.] I'm personally content with any copy of the album, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Takk is owned by a different label if these are the same as my DMM reissues, you may be disappointed with the sound quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuit bored records Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 My DMMs sounds amazing to me, but I have heard people complain about the quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_metal_mastering Learn something new every day. Thanks. But for the price, I think I'm willing to take the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 they both have the same release date, which is after RSD. i not sure what the difference is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Shot Rough Trade an e-mail. The more expensive copies in stock are actually 180 gram, black vinyl. The pre-order is for standard weight on translucent navy blue. That is also the version that'll be available on RSD, stateside. They also suggested to keep checking their webstore and newsletter, as they'll be repressing the majority of the Sigur Rós catalog on colored wax over the next year or so.

Derek™ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 What you forgot to mention is that you actually bought a second copy that you're looking to practically give away. To me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
