I hope this doesn't go off topic, but it's relevant. Where are we best to order from to ensure getting a copy? Or no way to know? I already placed pre-order last night from Amazon......
Gents, what's the best shopping alternative for us in Europe? A tracked parcel from amazon.com raises the price up to 56 usd!

None of my beeswax but why go tracked/insured in the first place? (Unless you want it quicker?)
fwiw, I've never had an Amazon.com parcel (directly from Amazon in the States, I mean, rather than the marketplace) go awol yet (and there's been 1 or 2 over the years.. )
You have to realize that it's not being released until June...I doubt that price at amazon will be the final price..it will be lower...the other outlets haven't even listed it yet...importcds and the other "usual suspects" will have this title...I imagine acoustic sounds will continue their usual pricing structure..around $30...but having said all that..when I bought those Doors SACD's 2 years ago they were $30 then(I got them with 10% off)and look at the price now..so it's not out of line for this to be priced where it is now...and another thing..don't worry about not getting the disc...it will be available unless you wait a while for it...which in your case I know you won't..
Like I said earlier...that amazon price wasn't firm..it's dropped to $27.99 HERE...and Joe Cocker's disc is the same price HERE...and it's SO early...the other usual suspects will have this disc too so it could be even cheaper...I did lock in the price at amazon for both of these titles FOR NOW...and I will watch the other outlets as the release date moves closer...
Can't order it here yet, but this is the Importcds link for The Doors Quad:

AWESOME!!! Nice find my man...I hadn't checked back at Amazon...though my order is in.
I wish amazon wouldn't do that...they just float a price out there in the early listing and then they reduce it when other outlets get advance notice of the disc...it discourages people who aren't aware of other outlets that will sell the same product at a cheaper price.....then they rush in like they are saving you money on the release...kinda like the used car salesman that goes down the hall and talks to his manager about giving you a better deal on a used car..I used to love amazon but find myself doing less business with them...

Isn't the price they "float out there" the MSRP. It isn't just something they make up. Then they price to match competition. Sounds reasonable to me. Plus if you order with them, they will give you the lowest price offered between when you order and when it ships. The only way that would be a bad deal is if they held MSRP the whole time (hasn't happened on my orders yet). I don't have any problem with it. I trust their shipping to get to me on release date, and the price ends up being fair.
For those who pre-ordered from Amazon looks like the price went down to $27.99 at some point.
On the previous page in this thread it was mentioned
You can now pre-order from ImportCDs...
http://www.importcds.com/best-of-the-doors/780014220624
FYI - They've re-branded their site - it looks a bit better, but its still a bit clunky in terms of usability...(IMHO)...
Edit: Or even worse you can't see order status online...
