Thanks Scott. It isn't cheap, but to me it will be worth it. I spent almost as much on my last album paying musicians, so if I can eat that cost, I can eat this one. lol
That was a great haul of records. I love the Japanese pressings. I was curious to know if the VH Japanese pressing was better than the US pressing. Thanks for the heads up. Best wishes on your very cool project. 🤗♥️
Thanks Melinda. So far every Japanese pressing I have bought and compared to the US has had better instrument separation and fidelity. Some by a little, some buy a lot. I'm very happy with them. Thanks for the good wishes. It will be a dream come true once I am able to hold it in my hands.
Hey Brian, hope you're having a great week. As always you added some amazing albums to your collection. I always enjoy seeing your posts in our group and your UA-cam videos, you have excellent and varied taste which I love. I have a backorder in for that Smashing Pumpkins set, hoping to get that one soon. I definitely want to check out the score to Forrest Gump and I love that Foreigner album, it's chock full of fantastic songs and it's a favorite of mine. Enjoy all the great spins!!!
I had my backorder for the Pumpkins cancelled, so I am very happy I was able to get one locally. I had a feeling that would happen when it didn't ship right away even though it was IN STOCK when I ordered it. I hope you get one. Otherwise try Riverbend Records in Illinois. He has some he is putting up for online orders today I believe. Billy is a great dude too.
Nice Japanese pressings, Brian! As much as I love them, they are real pain-in-the-you-know-where to buy especially if they should come with some "extra stuff" (like poster or something) and you want to make sure that you get a complete copy. Usually that "extra stuff" is mentioned on the OBI strip. I use Google Translate's camera option to "decipher" the Japanese writing. That Bon Jovi's "7800 Degrees Fahrenheit" is the 2nd best Japanese pressing that I have when it comes to "extra stuff". Enjoy the summer, Jarkko/MyVinylBar
Hey Jarkko... I have found a few places here in the US that sell Japanese pressings and have found some good stuff. As for the extras, the only thing I really MUST have is the OBI strip. The rest, if it is there, is gravy as they say. Sometimes the best deals are the ones that have the OBI, but not stickers or 7" or extras. If I was a collector who was looking to sell, then having the extras is best... but since these are meant to be my forever copies I just need that OBI. Thanks for watching and Rock On!

Good luck with getting your record pressed! That’s a bucket list thing for me as well.

Elvis Costello on MOFI for $5?? You need to tell me the back story of that one sometime!! Wow
Haha, yes... and the Japanese Back in Black was only $10. I'll DM you the info.
By the way, love the Japansse Ozzy pressings too!!!! 🤟🤟
Those were not cheap... but worth it! And I sold my US presses and made some of that money back.
