Maybe worth ringing them to see if a few copies remain? If not, they could probably get one of their UK stores to send a copy over for you to pick up at the Brooklyn shop, which would save you the shipping costs. Just an idea, but maybe one worth pursuing? Good luck!<br /><br />Kind regards...<br /><br />MarkMarkhttp://www.sourjazz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-50892400560972040782019-01-05T11:46:25.354-05:002019-01-05T11:46:25.354-05:00Mark,

They're really appreciated!<br /><br />Also, thanks for your comments on the Madness comp and Trojan box set. In particular, I would have loved to have gotten my hands on that Madness release (the airmail shipping costs from the UK to the USA are horrifically high these days)...<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />SteveSteve from Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565580429334218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-10906164416100519982019-01-05T11:10:13.923-05:002019-01-05T11:10:13.923-05:00With your permission, I’d like to doff a cap and r...With your permission, I’d like to doff a cap and raise a jar to the superb April 2018 Record Store Day release of 'I Do Like To Be B-Side the A-Side' by Madness, which compiled all of their early b-sides on one slab of vinyl. Not a throwaway track in sight, and an interesting way to chart the band’s early evolution. Suave packaging, as well.<br /><br />I also splurged on the massive Trojan 50 boxed set, which is just about as lavish a boxed set as I’ve ever seen, and hefty enough that, if you were to drop it from a third floor window directly above somebody’s head, there’d be funeral arrangements to make quickly.<br /><br />Finally, many grateful thanks for all of the work you put into the blog -- I’m not in the habit of often leaving online comments, but I’m always in the habit of checking your blog for updates and reading them with enthusiasm.Markhttp://www.sourjazz.comnoreply@blogger.com
