TISFWO, TT5B and HSCPT2 Vinyl Re-Issue

[tuc70021]

So it looks like the North American store is still out of TT5B and TISFWO reissues. Anyone know if they're going to press any more of these for this run, or was that it?

I wrote to them because despite writing the initial post, I waited to pull the trigger on TT5B...fail.

Their response (for that particular album) is that they are expecting a re-stock but are unsure exactly when they'll be getting it.

I really hope that's true, because a nice thing about this reissue was that is made these albums affordable for people who wanted them on vinyl. I'm already seeing people selling unsealed copies for above the original sale price on places like Discogs and Ebay, and I imagine if they didn't do another run (or more) of these, you'll see even more price increase.

Oh dip! Just saw they're back on the US store!

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.
