Is This What We Want? - 1,000 UK

So this isn’t a silent record but rather the recorded sounds of empty studios.  So background noise, people walking, what sounds like an animal purring.  Now of course I want to know which track is Kate Bush’s studio, etc

I upgraded to lp. Found a nice copy on eBay for $7 delivered.

Costello’s 2018-2022 three album run is a return to form. I haven’t checked out the Coward Brothers one yet.

From now on for new purchases I will now post purchase price of items. $4.50+$6.99 shipping plus tax.


Side b includes early versions of songs - cut in Brussels in 1984-that would be re-recorded a year or two later in NYC for Tango zero hour which is one of the greatest albums ever released.

this may well be a shortcoming on my part, but i refuse to pay more in shipping for an item than the price of the actual item.  yes, it's stupid, and no, i don't know why.  it's something  just can't grok.

Totally agree

But what if the price is a real bargain?

I tried to find another item from buyer in order to combine shipping. But there just wasn’t anything else.

it does grind my gears too, but I look at total price to evaluate

Shipping is expensive now. To ship a single record media mail is about $5.38. To that you add the cost of a record mailer which is about $.60-.80, tape and any padding.

It really sucks but $6.99 is not unreasonable.

You can get that $3 part mailed for $5 or you can drive 2 hours to pick it up locally, your call.

Which is great if your time is worth less than $2.50 per hour.
