Steven Wilson King Crimson in Atmos! (2CD/2BD sets) LTIA 2023 / Red 2024

Wow - that's very close to full list price. Despite the minor delays I'm happy with Importcds. My copy just hit the Denver distribution center so I should have it in a couple of days.

My problem with import is it’s a huge warehouse and they don’t know what they are selling. I’ve ordered from them a few times and it’s always been poorly packaged, and they’ve sent the wrong disc on at least one occasion. I’ll pay extra from Ken; I know him, he knows what he has and he’ll ship quickly and pack well. It’s worth supporting small businesses to me.

Your experience with LaserCD is nothing like mine. Their prices are normally quite competitive, and I used them for a few years.
They have no control over their inventory and when you point out and prove his false statements he turns into a dick.

I’ve been dealing with Ken since 2012. First time was in person, he brought stuff to a fest and sold it to me in person. I’ve only had maybe … one item get canceled due to lack of availability.

PS I just got a shipping notification for Red.

 

[Marplot]

Both our experiences are true; and I still recommend the site even though I am unable to use it.
I have had 100% better customer support from ImportCDs than LaserCD so would use them as my first choice anyway.
Oh and spinning my ImportCD Red in 7.1.4 as soon as the Liverpool match is over.

I've seen a lot of complaints about Importcds on this site but for me, I've never had a bad experience over many years of ordering. Occasionally I've run into delays, but most of the time they've been quick, accurate, well packaged, and often at the lowest price. Over the last few days they've offered Red at $42 - $48 - a not insignificant savings over $62. I like Ken's site as well (a great catalog), but it's almost never the cheapest option.

I've got exactly the same experience with Importcds.My waiting time to get disks is a bit longer,because I live in Canada but never ever had any problems.

Same here, whether to Canada or Oz, never had an issue. I was hoping they could offer a good price on the new John Mayall mega box set, which they have, but then said it was too heavy to ship to Canada! Fortunately, jpc.de think otherwise.

Received my Red box from importcds yesterday. Just opened it and it has duplicate Blu-ray 1s and no Blu-ray 2 with the Atmos mixes. What a drag.

 

[Marplot]

That sucks..so you are seeing red but not the good kind.

One More Red Nightmare…

 

[Hefeman]

Spent 40 minutes rerunning my Audyssey setup only to have no Atmos disc. I assume I'll need to return the box to importcds but we'll see. I seem to be the only person reporting this issue so far. Must be someone out there with duplicate Blu-ray 2 discs. Wish that was me.

Mine is being delivered today from amazon instead of Monday.
Sorry for @Hefeman but this is unlikely to be a common mistake.
I sure hope I don't have to eat those words.....

Mine came from importCD with pretty darn good packaging, and all discs intact.

I used to be real into the buy x get x y% off deals they did through their eBay, and have always been fascinated by their vacuum sealed(?) cardboard packaging. Can confirm that mine showed up yesterday and I just checked and all discs are fine as well

Received Red 50th yesterday from Importcds - good standard packaging, no damage, all discs intact and correct. Will have my first listen to Atmos mix later today. Really stoked to hear what SW has done with one of my favorite KC albums.

 

[5.1 4 Life]

Received my copy of Red 50th on Friday from Deep Discount. Another great 5.1 re-mixing job from Steven Wilson and it's fun to hear the 'elemental mixes' from the album. And including the three editions of USA along with the final concert in NYC from 1974 really makes this a great package (can't wait for King Crimson's next 50th Anniversary set).

Thanks for the heads up. Got mine as well and checked. The 4 disc are labeled properly. Did you find that the labels were proper on the blu ray or just he content of the disc?

 

[GOS]

Giving a quick listen to one of my favorite songs, Fallen Angel. My God what an incredible song and the Atmos doesn't disappoint. Leaves me a bit mesmerized.

The labels were correct for the live shows content on the discs.
