I have Petty "Highway Companion," RHCP "Stadium Arcadium" (the lower-priced edition), Knopfler/Harris "All the Roadrunning," J. Mitchell "Blue," and a few others. They are consistently good - quiet surfaces, clear and rich mastering, very musical (that is, you find yourself being pulled in by the music, not the sonics, as good as the latter are).I've seen the discounting here and there too. Perhaps they overestimated the market? They're aren't too many of us vinyl buyers out there, especially at premium prices (it only seems that way on VA, since we congregate here.) A specialist like Speakers Corner or Classic is set up to serve a niche market, and writes its budgets and business plans to keep things in print and on hand until they sell out. A mass marketer like WEA is designed to move product through the pipeline quickly - if it doesn't sell within a certain time frame, it's cleared out.
