Nice... I know I've got that LP from way back when, stashed somewhere
I'm sure that 'stashed" LP along with your regular 'stash'
will sound oh so Tangeriny on your new Surround Master, v.2!

I'm sure the new Steve Wilson version will suffice

!I mentioned this before....but this is what turned me on to TD....I do really dig this...
My first exposure to Tangerine Dream was also through a soundtrack, Risky Business. I really loved the piece below. Unfortunately the soundtrack was never released in the U.S., I had a tough time tracking a copy down. Whenever I asked a record store for the Risky Business soundtrack, they told me to just buy the Bob Seger record! Eventually I stumbled across a copy in a store that specialized in movie soundtracks. Would love to hear a Steven Wilson surround mix of this tune!

I'm wondering what amazon US is going to do on this title....they have the "place holder" and all it needs is a price...is this going to be another bold move like the infamous "Walmart caper"...where they swooped in at the last minute and underpriced BIG W....not sure why they are waiting...are they going to let the UK "office" take the gold medal...OR are they going to "snipe" them at the last moment

I just placed a 'tentative' pre~order with AmazonUK but did NOT press BUY. With VAT removed, and s/h to the states, the price is $135. Even ImportCD which is usually cheaper has it for $143 + extra s/h charges + local sales tax.
What AmazonUS does is anyone's guess but I don't think it will be cheaper than the UK, especially with sales tax added!
Those on the fence might be wise to wait until the reviews are in and Amazon has their 'warehouse deals!'

If you didn't press buy...you have no order...going thru the checkout process without completion is not an order...why don't you just order it...you can cancel it easily if something better is available..

I was hemming and hawing but did pre~order anyway .... AmazonUK says it will be delivered the last week of June. Have plenty of time to cancel. I DO have four of their classic albums from that period on Stereo SHM~SACD [which I regret buying as I had them as well on Import RBCDs] TD Overkill?

No way that doesn't come down before release date.
But is it going to come down $100...because that is the area where amazon uk is priced....maybe this is a sign...perhaps they are getting tired of people returning these box sets and claiming they are defective after the music is "ripped" by many...amazon doesn't need the music business to survive.. and if they notice the return rate is higher than normal...they might decide to just order fewer numbers or not at all in the future...I've noticed an uptick in the warehouse specials for these box sets...if you live in the US and order from amazon UK it's not so easy to return one of these box sets...certainly not as easy as amazon US...
Clint E., I just ordered from Amazon UK, I think you may be on to something about US rippers buying and returning. I have certainly thought about that but have never done it. This is fringe music for me and would never pay the Amazon US price but I didn't get the Kraftwerk box set and now it is out of reach.
I noticed on Amazon UK that Traffic has a vinyl preorder for more than Tangerine Dream and won't ship to US ? Traffic

Hey- Free Shipping
- I said this was a No Brainer. Now I’ve gotta walk that back, old tired Mutts don’t like walking backwards. Still time for a little shake out, but I’m getting real tired of these Mega box sets with 90% destined for shelf rot, while pilfering my wallet!

I’ve never ordered from Amazon UK, do they tie into your Amazon US account in any way, or do you have to set up a whole new account?
Thanks
My UK amazon.co.uk details are useable across all the amazon sites I've used so far so on .com, .ca, .fr, .de, .it, so give it a try, plus you won't pay VAT so 20% cheaper
Same for me also, just different passwords if you want or even the same password if you want. Very easy. I am in Calif and my oderes arrive about a week after the East Coasters, just like when I order from CDJapan I get sooner.
I'm sorry to say that it's just not a "theory"...people do it...aside from the fact that it's an unethical thing to do...it could have a big impact in the future....I watched something like this happen in the video world I was involved in....people would purchase a TV at their local brick and mortar store(like Best Buy) and then return it within the return period and buy the same TV online to save money...so eventually the brick and mortar stores changed their return policies and the honest people that purchased TVs were penalized...
I've ordered quite a few items from amazonUK....the only thing I won't do is order from 3rd party sellers on amazonUK anymore...I had a nightmare situation that took months and a lot of emails to resolve...they sent me a CD instead of a SACD...
