12x12", the sleeves...

Well done Bill

Edit: Err, better buy myself a record player too!

£5.50 each from there - HMV are selling for £3.99 each...

(Although I have an instant dislike for HMV online, so I'll make my way into a store to physically buy them)!

And HMV are doing free delivery. Now, only thing I need is a turntable ;)

If these albums are embossed, then it'll be ok. Here's hoping...

...oops, there goes hope.

Gawd , let me check my bank balance then:(

This really is getting too much

The deed is done.£47.88 in total for the whole lot with free delivery.

I'm really not over the moon about it, one jot

Not too unhappy with those designs.

Problem looming for those of us down here that want to order a set. Last time I checked, HMV were charging an individual rate for shipping rather than a bundled rate, making shipping costs pretty prohibitive to Australia.

What a masterstroke HMV, you've priced yourself out of the market. At a time when everyone else is bringing down global shipping costs.

:\pimp3:

if the label was smart, they'd bundle in a turntable for a package deal and call it a straight up 100 pounds...gonna have to finally suck it up and buy one I guess...

Still no word on a cd set of these is there Nic?

seems like i've seen that before.

If I'll buy, it's gonna be only a few of these 12"s. I have no interest in buying 86-93 versions. A more interesting sleeve would encourage me to buy more but this is not the point here.

Quick calculation.

12 x 12" to Australia through HMV.

$114 for the vinyl and a whopping $106 for shipping.

Option B anyone?

i think i may just have to dive to sydney in the hope that a certain shop may just stock it (eventually. at this stage the fuel costs should still come in less than the shipping costs.

The should have been able to create better sleeves. But the music is outstanding!

I see what they've done there. They have used different colours for different singles. But cleverly kept the leaf the same. Thats really brilliant.

:bag:

yes i must remember to shop around went to HMV web site bought the lot and got a student discount of 10% as well not much but every little helps. incidently i like the sleeves nice and clean just need to buy some plastic sleeves now to stop them getting mucky

so is HMV the cheapest place to order them from then?

Would it be cheaper if someone here bought them and posted them over to you?

I'd be happy to help.

I'd need a beer after licking all them stamps, mind.

I tried to order them all from HMV at 2am after a very heavy bout of drinking.

Somehow, I had the presence of mind to check the basket before completing the order.

13.

Spent a few minutes trying to see which one I'd done twice then went to bed.

I'll pick them up from the shop, I think. At least they won't get bent in the mail that way - I need them minty mint!

Very generous offer, Oiler.

I'll round up the interested parties down here and calculate the damage. Let you know.

Don't breath a word of it to Old Blue, mind.

Colin,

what's the chances of us getting our local HMV to open up at midnight for the aberdeen order?

slim me thinks.

We'd have more chance at the back door with a crowbar.

Nice idea though - me and you queueing at 23.59 with a thermos full of Pernod, talking bollocks about UP.

Wonder what the Wino's would make of that.

Damn, gonna have to get them.

Did they ever do a record player that was a little VW Camper van that drove around the record?

Or was that a dream?

They did, but it ripped vinyl to shreds.

I'm probably going to burn all the vinyl-only stuff to CD (via the hi-fi-route, not the PC) when they arrive. Happy to share (if people have the vinyl)
