I finally acquired a Abbey Road Black Triangle CD today!

As you may know, I was a victim of the fake Abbey Road Black Triangle scam on eBay a few months ago. I was finally able to get money back and took a chance at aquiring another copy and I scored big. The seller mentioned that the CD was buffed, so I think his comment may have scared some buyers away. Anyway, I received the CD today and it looks great. If it was buffed, I can't tell. The CD looks new and it is the real deal this time!

Congratulations Jorge!

Great Price!

 

Nice price!! Glad you finally got a real copy!!

 

ouch!!!that's a lot for a CD----you would be better of with the original album--soundwise anyway.

 

Congrats Jorge. That's an excellent price!!!!!

Not for THAT one, it's not. Even if he changed his mind, he could likely sell it tomorrow and make a profit...

 

Congrats, Jorge!

 

How did you manage to get your money back from the bogus seller?

 

I agree - great price.

Of course that opinion is subjective - UPS is currently delivering the DCC Ram to me from Tom Ports site for $39.99 - without cover or booklet or any "paper" at all. I haven't been able to find a similar priced version of that title for years. Since I am not a collector (*cough* cough* - at least not a re-seller), that price worked fine for me.

 

Jorge,Congrats. Thats a great price, I paid $35 for mine and that was in '83.
Hope You enjoy it.

 

Jorge,

Great price! I'm envious. Trying to get one this for ages. Congrats.

Regards,

Wow, great snag. I've never seen one that cheap on eBay.

 

I paid $75 in the last few months....

 

I got lucky and picked up a copy on e-Bay for $30 in 2001

 

Congrats, Jorge. Great price, and I know you'll enjoy the disc. I paid 35.00 for mine in early 1984.

 

I got mine in the summer of 1985 and think it cost me $18, which seemed like a lot! I remember I special ordered it and the guys at the store were shocked it actually came in. I was 18 - I had no idea it was rare. When I came to pick it up, they all kept saying, "Can you believe you got an 'Abbey Road'?!" and I thought, "Why wouldn't I get one?" I also thought "I sure better have a copy waiting since I came into town for this!

 

Does the Abbey Road Black triangle sound good?

 

Is the Pope Catholic?

Sorry, couldn't resist that one. This beats the pants off the official 1987 EMI release as no noise reduction was used and the music shines, shimmers, and sparkles. Subject to one's own opinion, of course, but most folks here will agree.

 

...great deal!...you made out well after a bad situation.

 

Jorge, nice to see that you picked up the real deal at a good price

 

Gotta get me one of these someday.

No wait, I mean real soon.

 

After I've had a chance to hear one....I'm looking too!!!!! Nice deal Jorge,congrats. I might have paid double that, and I'm sure there are a few of us that would do that right now if we had the chance.

Hi Jorge,

Nice snag on that one!

Beatle Terr talked me into getting this cd on ebay a couple years ago. I was a little skeptical because I couldn't imagine it sounding much better than the US version - especially for the outrageous price of $46!

Anyway, I like it a LOT better than the US version. To me, the overall sound is much better balanced. The US version is bass heavy. And after a while, it is irritating to listen to. I can play the Japanese version over and over.

Somebody else?

Jorge > enjoy.
