TISFWO, TT5B and HSCPT2 Vinyl Re-Issue

[dave790]

I completely disagree with the price for TT5B though, at least here in the UK. £40 may be better than paying £60-£100 for an original copy, but not much better. I paid for it of course, so I guess I'm the sucker - but to me it defeats the whole purpose of reissues if they cost so much.

Wow! I had no idea it was that expensive in the UK. In the US it's £21.65 ($30) to buy it domestically, so I think it's actually cheaper to buy it here and ship it to the UK.

Yeah £36.99 was the best I’ve seen so far but that was without p and p. In store at HMV it’s £42.99 (where I got it).

I did notice that it was more realisticallly priced in the States. It’s strange because the HSC reissue - also a double - is around £22 most places here.

Disappointing but didn’t want to miss out. Just not sure why such an aggressive pricing policy has been adopted for that one item in one country / region.
