Looking for new places to buy vinyl

Rockpig...I saw your other thread about the "Captain and Me" reissue. That's just one reissue from Friday Music. You make it sound like "all" their reissues are bad and that's just NOT the case.

Mofimadness... What have you based your assessment on? Please give examples of what you have compared the Friday Music LPs to.
I've several FM LPs and one is Robin Trower "Bridge of Sighs" which sounds nice. I've found an original 1st pressing which I have ordered to see how it compares to the FM version.

Mofimadness... I'm interested, so what Friday Music LPs have you done comparisons with to prove that any of their other LPs are good or better than other versions? If there is an album I really like then I try to find the best sounding version of it. I have Robin Trower "Bridge of Sighs" on Friday Music and it sounds pretty good (nothing to compare it to). I've managed to track down a first issue original version and it is on it's way to me now. I am very interested to see how the FM version stacks up against the 1st issue version.

Just wanted to chime in about Amazon .
I recently purchased 10 lp's from them and had problems
with two of them . In both instances my problem was handled quickly and to my satisfaction . This involved two different vendors and absolutely no hassle what so ever !
Just a real great experience from Dean's Golden Collectables and 8arms2holdu via Amazon.com .

8 sellers reviewed here. Acoustic Sounds is the seller I currently order the most from.
I'm in Australia and have ordered heaps of LPs from various sellers in the USA and 1 in the UK.

Acoustic Sounds has consistently been very good. Ordered many times and they usually ship within a few days. The packaging is extremely sturdy and freight cost is reasonable. Huge range!

Audiophile USA. I recently did my first order with them. Dispatch was very prompt and the 2 used records were like new. Prices were very reasonable as well. But info about the records is rather limited.

Sound Stage Direct have a good website with the best search facilities making it extremely easy to find what you are looking for. But dispatch can take 1 to 2 weeks because they don't seem to have all stock on hand. I stopped buying from them because I got many warped records in a large shipment. The 2nd batch was supposed to have been checked for warps prior to shipping but, but many of those were also warped. They were extremely nice to deal with and gave me refunds on all the warped records and I did not have to return them. If it wasn't for the warping I would still be buying from them.

Elusive Disc. I've ordered a few times from them and service has been great. Shipping is a little dearer but the service is prompt and the packaging is exceptional. Box within another box packed with beads. So protects from heat and impact extremely well.

Amazon has limited selection but for the odd single purchase the shipping costs are cheaper than the other sellers I mentioned. Did get one warped LP from them and arranged to return for replacement but they changed their mind and sent me a replacement and said I could keep the warped record.

Music Direct. No complains with their service but the way their online shop is designed makes finding what you want very difficult.

Chesky. AVOID! A few years ago I attempted to order from them. Paid money and the order never arrived. Making contact with them was extremely difficult but they said they would send another lot. That never arrived either. So after several months tracked down a phone number and called to complain and they finally refunded the payment.

System Records in the UK. AVOID!Very slow to respond and very slow to dispatch orders. Order arrived damaged due to poor packaging and only gave me a few bucks refund for the damage. This guy has no idea about customer service.
