    That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure if there was another source.

    Really, $63 to send 2 cd's to the US.

    Sorry, but that's way too rich for my blood. The stateside versions should be fine.

    This one, http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/WPCR-15686

    The other is the US version without the plastic sleeves.
    Really, $63 to send 2 cd's to the US.

    It's $27 and change per deluxe CD. There are 2 CD's in the deluxe package, the original and a bonus CD. More importantly, zero scratches unlike the US versions.

    I see that, but when I do a shipping quote for (2) deluxe pkgs I and II (III is sold out) it says it's $63 to ship so

    $27.85 for LZ I
    $27.85 for lZ II

    plus $63 for shipping

    = $118.70 for 2 deluxe cd's.

    I'm not paying that, too much.

    I saw that Neil. Will you do a little better on the price, say $35 shipped?

    You are missing something. There are multiple shipping options from EMS and FedEx to snail mail. The $63.00 quote sounds like an over night option. With either EMS and FedEx you will get it in a few days. A few times with EMS I've actually gotten delivery over night....amazing.

    Problem is the CD's are already scratched.

    I can understand from a cosmetic perspective why people expect a scratch free CD. Even if it is initially scratch free, the odds increase of acquiring a scratch when playing it multiple times. In this sense, CDs and vinyl are similar. However, unlike a turntable, a CD player will error correct any damage from a scratch, so scratches are more of a cosmetic annoyance versus an audible annoyance.

    Of course, the absence of scratches is just one more reason to go with a music server. :smile:

    Anyway, scratches or no scratches, I cannot wait for the next set to be released. This is one of the few times I do not mind rebuying the same CD over and over. :smile:

    Here's a screen print.

    But I just figured it out. If you look under shipping charge calculator is says "view the order total including shipping charges". I thought the price was just for shipping.

    P.S. I will take you up on those Neil. I'll let you know as my bday is coming up and I'm not sure if someone is buying those for me. I'll know after the 30th, if you can wait.

    I have all the originals on vinyl and have one question

    How many versions/remasters dose one need. :confused::razz:

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Neil, it's cleared and I did send a PM. I get back with you after the 30th. But I'm sure I'll take all 3, just don't want any dups in case I get them for my Bday.

    Thanks
