I’m in the uk & mine turned up last week, although for the first time ever I had to pay some import taxes which meant it got delayed for a few days!! You might want to check that Ocean. Hope it’s all ok.

Leaves a fairly bad taste in the mouth for those of us overseas buying copies for $40 + postage.

Posts: 11Posted 6 months ago #Maybe these LP copies don't include the autograph insert? I guess not the best thing to do for those overseas but overall might have panned out better for him to break even.
Aside, I bet Thes just wanted to sell as many copies as he could since this is the last album. Pricing the LP at $40 probably wouldn't sell well for the casual fans. For many like us, I had no problem giving People Under the Stairs my money.

I didn't see it listed anywhere, so... here seems pretty solid. Anyway, it's 'Natural Skin Deep' by Neneh Cherry. If this is old news, sorry...ish. Peace!

I'm pretty sure someone posted up the original steel drums track in the samples discussion. Check it (probably a few pages from the end now) -

With everything I've ever known about Chris and the way he's treated/respected his fans as well as conducted his business there is no way in hell he would do anything to rip anyone off... With that said I get where you're coming from too, seeing a better deal somewhere else can be annoying, whatever the merchandise.
For me brotha, I'd gladly pay PUTS quadruple what they ask for directly just to ensure they keep releasing material... No matter the moniker. Not trying to be all judgy and sh!t but I feel like Thes has our back and there's a reason things played out like they have and quite possibly out of his control.

Which they pay out there own personal cash to fund this record, they have no backers helping them JUST US the Parmy holding it down. So every purchase is a real thing feeding their family’s not a record company pockets. To be honest your should be stoked you got it for that cheap wait a year or 2 and they try to pick something up you gonna be paying 100 on the cheap end second hand. I personal have spent thousands getting my collection complete after Thes retirement announcement since I had only been copping wax since Tgos so think about that bud. Thes would never rip us off we are the reason he even put out this album, cause if your a true fan you should know this thing barely came out.
