I know.. when i said it was a money making scheme i meant it as a joke. I've been caught before but not for a few years so the hike up in price surprised me

Not sure if this message should be on this particular thread as it is not strictly a 'reissue', but is the japanese deluxe version of JFPL still available? HMV japan are not offering it for pre-order anymore and Sony Japan are saying it is sold out. CDjapan still have it listed but could they just be slow to update their site?

Yes I know, it is out on 1st July. But my point is it is becoming unavailable to pre-order on some sites.

There is no price on the 'declaration' label.

The 'gift' box is ticked, rather than 'commercial' etc. which to my understanding means it should avoid customs charges.

YesAsia is recommended.

Thanks for the info. I noticed on their site they offer a refund of VAT and custom charges to customer in the UK and Germany (YesAsia credit) if you are charged.

Might go and order the first two now.

Cheers

Lightbulb FAO collectors in the UK

I'm thinking I should sell mine already, due to change in priorities. I don't know if it's worth offering them here at a small loss and help someone avoid customs charges.

I can offer the four Japanese re-issues of GT, GATS, THB and EMG together for £75 including customs-less recorded UK shipping as I am in the UK.

I've never played them, merely copied them and re-sealed them so still beautiful as new. I am scared to play originals of valuable CDs in case they scratch. You could even get them by Tuesday (in UK).

First to PM me.

If I've no PMs tomorrow morning, I'll find a suitable site for the job (once I find my camera!). Also, if it's against the rules to offer an item for sale here then I apologise.


UPDATE: CDs now taken. Sorry!

Wish I saw these yesterday

Ordered the first two today from YesAsia. I told myself I would be happy with just the two but I'm sure I'll end up getting them all after I see the first two.

Are the bonus tracks also remastered to the same quality? I ordered GT and I'll jizz myself if Motown Junk is done like that

yes everything does seem to be from the same 'master'. i think basically the levels have been altered so they are all equal or normalised

How about the songs that featured on cassettes or vinyl, have they been taken from the original masters?

So are they better quality mixes than the originals would you say? One post on the first page seemed to say they would be exceptionally good
