Oh nice, glad they are doing that on the reissue, the artwork on that one is cool.    I have the Japan mini so my artwork is there, but smaller  (QVL)

Oh, I didn't know it was recently reissued, I'll have to look into that! From Sony Music, I have the vinyl reissue of "Storia di un Minuto" and it sounds really good. Please let me know how's that one

Speaking of QVL, I spun this beauty the other day

^ And I'll have to get their second one I still don't have a single album from Banco

"Per Un Amico" was reissued as well? I ended up buying it on CD last March. Thanks!
By the way, be careful about the latest vinyl reissue of Maxophone, I'm really not happy with it. It was mastered way too loud and it has lots of distortion. I always have to lower the volume when I play it.

If I knew that I would have saved the money for a very nice sounding (and looking) Japanese CD copy, I'm really happy with the Zarathustra one I bought. Well, at least I have a big cover to look at

Hi Tymon wish I could help you but I'm not using vinyl anymore so haven't paid attention to these issues.  I would also post this question in the Den so some of the RPI guys might see it. 

I wouldn't mind getting back into vinyl one day but there's never enough time for all the projects I want to do.   Mini LP cds is probably as close as I'll get.  Some of them are very nice. 

^You know what? I think I'm going to go with the vinyl, not only because I'm a vinyl fetishist. I mean, the cheapest one on Discogs costs 35 euros without shipping and I can get it for about 20 and if, as the person you know says, it actually sounds good, it's a deal. It's about as much as I would pay for that CD you recommend (with shipping). If it sounds bad, I will sell it (highly likely still with income) and will definitely head to the CD, which is surprisingly cheap for a Japanese one. Still, Sam, thanks for your message. It's tough getting RPI albums. I was looking for Cervello today and the cheapest CDs are still pretty expensive. Oh well, I guess you really have to wait for the best deals.

Or damage, age, relic the cover a bit, pretend it's an original pressing, and sell it for 1000 dollars on ebay (one person is attempting to sell it for 1900 as we speak).

Collector or not. Anyway. Got a small haul to finish my first full week in London doing my solar work. Vangelios-- 1492: conquest of paradise. ( great recording. Glad I finally bought this one on cd. ) The Tea Party-- Release ( Maxi Single.)

It's not even in mint condition. Yeah, I'd rather spend that on gear and play my CD with stellar quality 

Yeah, I also saw Alphataurus's 1st LP sell for over $2000 on discogs lol. Yea, its a cool album but think of all the things you could spend with that money. Some vinyl people are very obsessive (I love vinyl but come one!). All I can say is thank goodness for reissues. I would only own CDs of my RPI music.
