I also asked SDE to use IOSS, so we could at least get rid of the unnecessary DHL fee when located in the EU. His assistant assured me she would talk to him about it, since I wasn't the first person to mention it. That was way back earlier this year. Unfortunately nothing has changed (yet?).

I've just received a mail from Anne @SDE, and they are actually working on using IOSS, so there hopefully won't be any surprise fees and taxes from October or so for customers in the EU.

That is great news, good that @PaulatSDE is working on this!

Fantastic news! Thanks for the update

Is there any way on earth to obtain this gem without having to take out a second mortgage? Or is there going to be another pressing? I missed the boat by inches the first time around!

Wait for the 75th anniversary release, then purchase one from sellers on Discogs.
Until then enjoy your version with Dolby System.

I guess there could be another pressing if there was enough demand. Just like there was with Tears For Fears, Tipping Point.

I'm not adverse to the idea...

A kind soul from this site has reached out to me with a copy for purchase. Thanks Sergio!

 

[Farles]

I missed the boat too and am really hoping for a second pressing. I have emailed SDE a couple of times but no response. The asking prices on Discogs are truly ridiculous!

 

[izgoblin]

I'd love a second pressing as well... but with the quad fixed. My memory is that there was a ridiculously little amount of time allowed in the pre-order, and of course they caught me when I was extremely low on funds. Was really bummed to have missed out until I read that the quad mix was messed up. It certainly eased the pain of not having the disc to have read that.
Although I suppose the trouble with a corrected repress is that those who bought it in the first place would want replacements and that would be costly, so realistically, that ain't gonna happen. Ugh.

I’d say the majority bought it for the atmos, personally I couldn’t give a about the quad, played it once, the atmos is superb and can’t see anybody choosing the quad over it

Well, the quad mix has been my personal favorite mix of the album since I first heard it.

Tubular Bells hasn’t reached the tipping point.

I checked the SDE sight today (like I do every day ) and Tubular Bells is available again.

Link is HERE. There is no mention of how many copies are available, or none that I can see.

Edit #1: now showing sold out

Edit #2: available again

Nice, I wanted a backup copy.

Yes. You'll need one to sell as well.

It would be nice if this was a new run?!

What do you mean, new run?

 

[Dynamic Editor]

What do you mean, new run?

I think they mean a new print run, rather than returned/cancelled copies.

Indeed... I think it would be great for Paul if there was sufficient demand for another run!
