I have the perfect OG solution, Michael. The record producers could easily make what I would call Original Pressing Replicas (OPR's). OPR's could be specifically remastered to sound exactly like the original. Speaking of Blue Note, I know Joe Harley isn't particularly keen on verbatim copies but there is a growing segment of the vinyl community that prefer the OG's as witnessed by the exorbitant premiums they pay. For example, Blue Note could do away with the Classic Line and offer OPR's (OG replicas) and Tone Poets (Audiophiles). Both would sell like hot cakes and you would see the current extortionist OG price premiums drop like a rock. Of course this approach would be applauded more favorable by the music loving/listening crowd, more than the so-called collectors who are commoditizing vinyl media. Smh. The new race to the bottom. Anyway, press OPR's and take my money!

@@kyles7087 same here. Where can we sign up to join the buyers club ?

When i press the Join the club button - nothing happens. Maybe the button is not working ??

@@mortenchristensen1613 check the video description, click the link, worked for me! Thanks Michael, happy to support your channel and be in the buyers club

@@kyles7087 now the button is working. Did not work yesterday. Ok Fine now.

Welcome :-)

That was the crux of my comment that vanished Mark. Putting the name of this dealer behind a pay wall, rather than just sharing his business name left a bit of a sour taste. I'm happy to share names whenever I find a good dealer, tried to get something similar going on Michael's Discord channel. Unfortunately it never grew any legs.

in a way every british pressing you want... and more to come ....

@@Michael45RPM Getting every British pressing is Cockaigne. :-) ❤️Heike

Ha! cool.. will be fun!

@@Michael45RPM First on my wishlist is a nice Wish You Were here . Ha.

This is why you ask for photos of the record. If you dont get any, dont buy it

And make sure you leave accurate comments. If a dealer gives you mis-graded records it’s important for other buyers to know…

Dude I literally paid 50 bucks for a near mint version of (EPC 83468) I believe it is the first UK pressing, not sure. But the same thing happened to me. No scratches but It looked like a radio station played it with a DJ cart over, and over again (bad case of wear). Was really bummed since my other copy is a VG+. I can forsure agree that Off The Wall is a hard one to find, US FE 35745 pitman especially!! The seller did not like my feedback either, but maybe he should of thought about that before charging 50 dollars for a chewed up piece of plastic. Hopefully, more people can be aware of this. Also try to buy from sellers with 100% positive feedback.

@@thomascars1 True, this seems to be the only way now. Hopefully paypal protection work well with vinyl as well. But after buying hundreds of records there, from reputable buyers, I have virtually had no issues up to now.

@@paulspanbauer4125 Yes, very important!

Thanks Liam means a lot that you say that ....

:-)

thx Sara... hope you become part of it

@@Michael45RPM I hope so :)

i think discogs price are a goo base, i am very happy with his pricing

Whilst Michael hasn’t mentioned the cost of some of the obviously very expensive records (let’s assume they are super spendy, if you want one you have to have a lot of money), but for some of these like Rage In Eden Michael said it was about £5, then you have taxes and delivery… I’m in the UK and fortunately the vast majority of records I want are actually British in origin.

I am also very intrigued by this Original Buyers Club idea. But I am not sure I fully understand it. I have great respect for Michael and his channel + see the overwhelming enthousiasm, so I might be missing something 🙂 Here are my questions: 1/ Are you imagining that, to keep shipping cost down, Original Buyers Club members from a same area team up in the order process? Say I want 1 vinyl and I am in no hurry… Will I state my order and wait until there is a significant order from members in the Paris area to get it (even if that means going into town to someone’s place to retrieve it)? Or is this due to stay an individual purchase? 2/ I don’t know how large David’s collection is, but isn’t there a risk that a larger group of us will quickly buy him dry of good OG? Will the club be looking for other quality suppliers in the same country? Or is it that David’s role is to hunt the Uk market for the reference one of us has put in the online Excel? 3/ When you say it will be Discog prices, what do you mean? I typically like to get « a good deal », like buying a near mint pressing with imperfect sleeve for an average price. Is this not the place for this? 4/ Do you plan on there being any buying/selling/trading done between Original Buyers Club members? Not just « top-down »… I have OGs that I’d be willing to trade/sell to local members… This is the type of community that is missing too. Now, maybe I am making this more complicated than it is :-) I hope my questions are pertinent. Either way, I love what you do. Thank you!

What are you talking about? Of course he’s profiting. Michael’s literally just putting you in touch with a few private sellers. For this he’s getting nearly 400 people a month to pay him 5 euros. Good racket!

😂

du bit jederzeit herzlich willkommen Nadine

@@Michael45RPM by the way. Der Preis für so einen Club ist Mega. Das was du da aufgestellt ist, ist nicht ohne massiven Aufwand möglich, daher ist der Preis wirklich großartig.

Maybe i do a livestream on Monday to answer questions

@@Michael45RPM OK. :-)

@@Michael45RPM That is a very good idea. I'm sure there will be some other unanswered questions. This is very helpful for making a decision. :-)

i will do a Stream tomorrow Craig will be Q&A about it

No it i not limited to certain Regions all are welcome :-)

Just joined. Now I just have to figure out how to order an OG Lee Morgan Search for new land

his origins are classical 1st pressings Max

@@Michael45RPM Ok, thanks for that clarification.

they are Black Steel and come in one Part Nick

@@Michael45RPM I think maybe shipping that from Germany would be a challenge! Thanks

at the 1st livestram of the club prob. 30th of october .. so very soon

Sounds good. I’m in Australia so shipping can be a killer. This will be great for us down here to place a larger order to cut the costs down.

he will be around the discog price.. at least it was this way so far. And yes you can pick title matrix etc

yes you would find them under the Member tab Manuel

ah ok thx for the Info VU Meters

I cancelled, but can’t find an option to rejoin
