non-sequiturs

Good deal...I will utilize this phrase in future! It is a good one.

: a statement (such as a response) that does not follow logically from or is not clearly related to anything previously said.

I am going to test run it with my wife this weekend.

........ and hopefully dodge the resulting Secateurs

Since there have been rumblings about Van Halen 1 being kind of/sort of/maybe ready for shipping, I asked about my pre-order from Music Direct today... just as a subtle reminder that I’m (the) One – see what I did there? – that has an actual pre-order

We are awaiting our allotment and should begin shipping tomorrow. Please note, due to volume your order may take a few days to process.

We shall see. Looking and not finding an emoji that looks hopeful, but isn’t holding its breath.

Glad there are some rumblings. Recently I deleted my OneStep, just got tired of waiting after 2 years, plus I don’t have the storage room. So I ordered the SACD.

VanHalen I SACD shipping now

 

[marpow]

I am going to bitch a little, I can't bitch a lot because I play there game.
VHI for sale today with $9.99 shipping. MOFI is famous for waiting a week or two between releases, of anything, so they can ding you multiple shipping charges instead of one.
I have all the VH HDTracks 24/192's and they are stellar, I am going to listen real hard to this first VH and it will really have to beat the HDTracks for me to buy more.
That said, I want to buy more for my MOFI collection, I'm fucked either way.

Hilarious......

Anyway, I went back to MOFI site and ordered. Couldn't resist to own this...like now. Used my Paypal pay in 4, which has no interest. Love that option.

Yowsa, Markie ... $10 s/h for a disc in a mini LP style enclosure ..... I will NEVER complain again about CDJapan's DHL S/H charges as I received 8 discs, 5 in plastic CD cases and WELCOME in 7" packaging for under $25 NOT TO MENTION, if the same discs were purchased from US retailers the cost of each disc sometimes DOUBLES.

 

[Perp]

you are better off getting any Japanese 1st pressings , and probably cheaper..tapes were fresh and the vinyl quality is better than USA ones which could be a crap shoot, some are good , others are quite bad...that's just me...

Hell, I’m more excited for the MoFi Dire Straits, On Every Street, more that the Van Halen since I already have all the DLR era 2015 releases on LP and 24/192 files from HDTracks. I just wanted them for a listening comparison. Though, I would be surprised if I like them even though what I already have sound very good.

not yet. Soon. I think. I ordered this (seems like ) 5 years ago so I should be one of the first few in line Right ?

Perps - Im excited about Dire also even though the original mastering was damn good. Another MOFI title that I ordered quite awhile ago. Wonder when this puppy will be shipping...........

January 6, 2022 for me, so hopefully you are right FIFO.
Just nice to know they should be coming real soon.

 

[Bill B]

I just got an email from MD, not to tell me it's shipped, just to give me a list of all the items I have on pre-order. You'd think the VH1 disc would be "shipping soon" or something similar.

Backordered does not make me feel better.

 

[sperezmore]

VH SACD preorders are a joke!

Got VH 1984 SACD preordered almost 2 years ago, what a joke!!!!!!

Are these multi channel or stereo?

Now this will be interesting for the collector.
Rickie, you preordered, so you should get a lower # on the jacket.
I ordered my copy yesterday, I should get a higher #.
Lets compare when they arrive.
