Thanks, Peter ... ordered smile

(though the order procedure seemed strange ... I paid without saying what I'd ordered smile ... I'm sure it'll all work out a.o.k.)

I've got most of these recordings but a complete set at this price is unmissable!

Packaging sounds great, but are the tracks vinyl rips or have they been mastered from the original tapes?

Mitch, that's because you probably went straight to the Paypal link from this page? (And there are several items on the John Barry website home page.)

So what you ordered was OK, because the Paypal link orders the Stringbeat Years CD all right...

better direct link is this:

https://johnbarry.org.uk/index.php/merchandise/the-stringbeat-years-songs-accompanied-by-john-barry

So in fact the order procedure is not strange but totally straightforward, it's just that one gets the link here on the FSM board.

8 tracks out of 144 were not direct from the masters.

Very fair price, but that 20 lbs shipping to the states just kills it for me.

Eh? The box-set is priced £19.99 post-free for those living anywhere outside the UK, which is £3 more than for those living in the UK, to relect the additional cost of postage. Not sure where the 20 lbs shipping or even pounds comes in. smile

Geoff, My apologies. I misread the info, thought the 20 lbs was shipping alone. Look for my order!

My copy arrived this morning ... now that's what I call service! smile

Many thanks, Geoff.

And in case villagardens553 is still unaware: the "lbs" notation does = pounds ,,, but in weight (i.e. = 16 oz* = 1 lb), not GB£.
-----------------------
Of course, it's taken many UK citizens all their lives to drop the idea of "lbs" as it has been replaced with "kg" ...

... only for them/us to re-learn the notation come 1st Jan ("taking back control"). But I digress ...

* and no, I'm not referring to citizens of our anitipodean nation!
-----------------------

I look forward to opening the package this afternoon smile

Any chance of a combo special for this along with the book Hit & Miss for deliver to the States?

I was thinking about also throwing in The Early Years CD that is on your site but it appears pretty much everything on it is included on this 4 disc set.

We could have offered a deal of some kind, but unfortunately there is no way around the huge postal costs of sending Hit & Miss to the US. This increase came about in July and added 50% to the cost. This is apparently because of a combination of COVID-19 international flight restrictions and changes in US policies as regards delivery of incoming international mail.

To send the book and Stringbeat in one package would cost around £27 ($36), which I consider a ludicrous amount. It is possible to use economy (surface) mail for about half the cost, but this can take 6 weeks to arrive.

The Early Years has a few JB instrumental cuts not on Stringbeat, but that's about it, so I'd adjust the price to reflect that if Stringbeat was also purchased, but there's sadly there's nothing we can do about the book, unless policies change with the ending of COVID and a new administration in the US.
