[soundboy]

All 6 David Lee Roth era Van Halen albums on MoFi SACD are now available for pre-orders at Music Direct.

Rock on!

Just saw this myself. Reasonably priced! You can get 4 of the SACDs for the price of one of the One-Step vinyl editions.

I have always thought that the MoFi SACDs are reasonably priced. I remember when MoFi's own 24K gold CD were priced at $25.00/disc.

shite, I spent so much in 2021 but the first 3 VH on SACD ...

Awesome I am getting all of them for sure but...
Is there any reason I should order from Music Direct instead of directly from MOFI? If not I'd prefer to just go directly to the well.

I have all 6 in my cart. $179.94. tax is $18.32

So total for me would be $198.36

Now, what to do about shipping. I'm so absolutely paranoid of using regular USPS now, they botch nearly every order I do. The only time they seem to do way better is if it ships First Class. Then it seems to march right along. Now, I see Music Direct also offers Fed-Ex Ground or Home Delivery also for free.

What would be safest?? I have no clue....

safest would be order 2 complete sets. and then contact me when you want to sell one.

On the other hand, I have used regular USPS Media Mail on an order before, and they ended up sending it First Class. Would MD use First Class anyway, considering the number of discs, and the value. Well, why don't I call them in my free time? Oh wait, I don't have free time. Anyway.... lmao

I would go FedEx

No Fair Warning? One of their best, IMHO.

Yeah it also rocks but the first three own a spot in my life. I will get them all, just really jazzed about Women and ....

If I had to rank my fave Dave-era VH, it would probably be:

1. VH I
2. Women and Children First
3. Fair Warning
4. VH II
5. Diver Down
6. 1984 (Never did like the keyboard sound with VH. Way too commercial).

I think it is an e-commerce vendor.

Honestly, that might very well be my order as well. I really love the assault of Fair Warning. It might be number 2 for me, with Women being a very closer 3rd.

I was in a band in high school back in 1984 and we played the school talent show and did Mean Street, followed by Children of the Sea. After 37 years, I just saw the video for the first time. Great memories!
