Chad it is such a joy to watch these videos. Where I live record stores are about as enthusiastic about records as they would be about selling lettuce. I worked in a hi-fi shop in 1980 I remember mo-fi records wish I had bought them all.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Yeah my local record store owner looks and acts like he'd rather be dead than run his shop.

friends are one of life's greatest gifts, and are a reason for both gratitude and counting one's blessings.

[@CDDAAMP]

Joy to be surrounded by so much amazing music!

[@Daniel-hk3ru]

Friends are one of the important steps in life and a gift to cherish. Thank you, Chad for this great interview !

[@Jackgrahamphotograph]

Chad took his own advice…. “Buy now or cry later”

I was 8yrs old back in 83’ Chad! I’m not that far behind ya 😂😂

GREAT STORY THANKS GEORGE FROM ROMANIA

The 60k set is SOLD OUT 😆

[@joannozburn]

Chad I had the chance to buy mfsl Beatles or Rolling Stones in 1983. I picked the Beatles. I still have the box.

[@thomasrichards1969]

Man...when can I start buying some of these collectibles? I can just imagine how amazing these items are going to be. Just looking at the ones in the background: Sinatra, Beatles, Rolling Stones. Are you kidding me? Can I buy them all?

[@davidkipperman5218]

The sets are all sold already!

[@thomasrichards1969]

@@davidkipperman5218 Yeah...I saw that. 60K for one of the sets. A little out of my price range. But they sure didn't last long.

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

Chad why is Dennis selling his collection? Of that is not too personal thanks for video

[@acousticsoundsks]

He revealed the reason in the video. It's toward the end.

[@TigerSquidCA]

No Pixies?

[@managerred8818]

Where is the Gaucho SACD?

[@acousticsoundsks]

Before the end of the summer, maybe a month from now.

[@managerred8818]

@@acousticsoundsks Dang. What's going on? Last I heard it was supposed to be the beginning of this month.

[@robertocarlos_v]

Chad, If you ever go NYC to hang out, let me know. We can hit a couple of jazz clubs, dinner is on me.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Expect to pay 3-4 x the going rate for used vinyl on Acoustic Sounds. Ridiculous prices on them

[@smead65]

Agreed...just reviewed on the site...the prices are astronomically high.

[@alanabentrod3963]

But..everything I bought was pristine condition. Everyone else used records are really rough. You get what you pay for.

[@robertb5640]

I don't know about that, you have to research every record individually for example a sealed copy of a dcc aqualung they have on acoustic sounds for 250 dollars and if you look up what the going rate on ebay people are asking 300 dollars for a sealed copy.

[@smead65]

@@robertb5640 True...I did not check every one...the ones that I checked that I have in my collection have a crazy mark ups over what I paid on Discogs, ebay or my brick and mortar...and most of them were not that long ago. You can't look at the lot as say these are value prices...or even comparable to Discogs. I also don't have a problem with it. If someone is willing to pay it...then fine.

[@andymassingham]

Funny thing is that since these re-issues started popping up, a lot of late 50’s-early 60’s jazz has come back in the used bins, be they early pressings or earlier reissues. Here in Toronto I have scored a good half dozen titles which were MIA for decades in terrific shape and not outrageously priced. That said, I bought a few Acoustic Sound and Craft Tone Poet re-issues which are excellent. If it’s getting people into the shops, all good. As usual, it’s about being judicious.

[@Raypirri]

Interesting that we all love Mobile Fidelity today but only a year or two ago, they were “exposed” for using a digital step and that was absolutely abhorrent. Ultimately, if it sounds good to you, love your passion no matter the company.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Mofi are dead to me and always will be, they lied for profit and can't be trusted again

[@mazzysmusic]

[@acousticsoundsks]

The original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab started in 1977 and lasted until 1999. Music Direct bought and owns the current MoFi. What we were mostly selling was the original MFSL records that were mastered from the original analog master tapes and pressed at JVC in Japan. Then later the Anadisc were pressed at Mobile Fidelity's own pressing plant in California. They're almost 2 different companies.
