How can we convince Audio Fidelity to press more than 5,000 copies of each title?

What???!!! ALL the Doors Soft Parade are all spoken for already? It's not even out yet!
What the.....

 

I wouldn't mind the 5000 if I could be sure none of them are defective. But many, many of these are going back. grr.

 

Tell me this is not true!

 

What kinds of defects have been found to cause returns? All of mine have been in perfect brand new condition ...

 

Pet Sounds: Cracked cases + smashed hubs = scratched discs.

 

I haven't been able to get any of them. If AF could print another 5,000 or more copies, even if they have no number printed on them, that would be fantastic!

 

Amen!!

 

ouch ... I guess I was lucky because mine came in the all too common flimsy padded mailer but survived the trip. It's just too easy for a CD to get crushed in the mail in one of those.

 

Gary..put an order in for 5000 and they sure as heck will make more.

IMO Soft Parade is the worst Doors album they ever made.

 

I guess I'm lucky I managed to get the Band. I was looking forward to Morrison Hotel, but if all copies are already spoken for before it's even out...

 

They must all be sent to Japan. I've seen copies of "The Band" or "Pet Sounds" with numbers from the mid 400s up to the mid 2,600s.

 

the difficulties in getting them made me choose the subscription option.......

 

Wha?! How can this be?

 

Already being spoken for can only mean that orders from distributors already equal or exceed the 7500, not counting the subscribers. This does not mean that AF has 7500 names of people who have reserved or already purchased the CD.

 

where did you hear this one? pre-sold to retailers? seems like that would be hard to track.

the morrison hotel one was interesting to me.

 

Steve (or anyone else who may know),

What were the pressing runs on average of the original DCC Gold series?

 

So no need to panic?

 

I suggest that someone should go to the AF website and do a "Contact Us" and send a link to this thread. Marshall Blonstein is very interested in what goes on here at the Forum. The fact that Steve has chimed in to this thread should carry a bit of weight.

I've been in e-mail contact with Marshall a few times and he has always taken the time to answer me.

 

Grrrrr....

 

I wasn't able to find Morrison Hotel on the AF website or any website.

 

Sounds like the subscription campaign combined with advance pre-orders may have over achieved their purpose which should have been a relative awareness of title demand.
