    Prices are quite competitive with Amazon and other sellers for LPs. Their selection seems to be good. But, shipping isn't factored in to the cost. Media mail isn't too bad for cost, around $5 for two LPs. UPS 2nd day delivery is $23 though. Real tough to beat Amazon pricing with fast shipping for someone who maintains a Prime membership.

    I also don't know what packaging method they use to ship LPs. Amazon really improved in the last couple of years where they have specially designed LP mailers now. Much better than when they used to toss an LP in a regular box.

    Says a lot about what's happening in the industry if a company that was formed In order to sell digital downloads is now selling vinyl!!!
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Looks like HDtracks just entered into an arrangement with a company doing business as Directtou, which also sells CDs, DVDs, etc on other sites, so the physical media would be coming from that company.

    Good idea for HDtracks to offer the option and attract more customers to the site. Would also be a good idea for them to start offering DSD downloads.

    All it shows is they are trying to make a few extra dollars. The vinyl is for the few who have a turntable, and want an album, but find out there is not a HD release. So, they can buy the vinyl from HDTracks instead of Amazon.
