Drayvin Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Why does this cost so much compared to the regular recording?lies master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artfromtex Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) those are out of print and highly sought after for ther superior sound. when they were "in print" you could get one for like $25. but since they're getting hard to find the price has gone way up.here's an old thread that talks about it some:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showto...mobile+fidelity Edited February 11, 2007 by artfromtex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 A sealed copy of Lies is worth about $60. AFD about $80. UYI I can run up to $120 and UYI II $150. The company that makes these versions is at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs There used to be a really great FAQ online about these discs but last I checked it was taken offline. I found a bit of info here: http://www.thenightowl.com/reviews/mfsl.htmAnd as far as I remember, the company makes about 5,000 copies of each album and sells them for about $25. If they have any copies left over they burn them so as to preserve the value of the ones that are out there, and of course they do not re-produce the album in the future even if demand exists for it. I'd agree that the sound is superior, but the differences are subtle. Most people would probably only buy these if they are collectors.

cornrose Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have all 4. I could easily get about 600 bucks for all 4 of them, and that's just crazy. I paid $30 each about 10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
