The preview albums seems to be all older releases which are frequently available in the gray market. They are in the public domain in Europe, so they can be repressed by anyone. If they are, the source material would be a existing physical media (CD/vinyl) and not the original master/tapes.
Colombia House is back in business?!?!?!??!
Against my better judgment I pulled the trigger, I'll report back on my findings for the morbidly curious. Will I get some cool albums? Will I get garbage and you can laugh?? Only my $40 and time can tell... Smilie

Do we know who prints the vinyl? Different manufacturers?

Curious about this. I'm a pretty big jazz fan and the only one in the preview images that seems less than stellar is the Ornette Coleman one. All the others are true classics.

Can't comment on quality of this site of the pressings though.

I wonder if this is a subscription based offer where you have to cancel before you get hit with the full cost on the next order

Very enticing deal. I was skeptical they would be bootleg releases (like waxtime) But if the images can be trusted they are legit. I'm also curious if anyone can chime in with experience on this zavvi site. There reviews online are pretty concerning

It sure looks that way, but who knows.

Some look like Jazz Images (grey market made in Europe. Probably taken off a cd source, so actual sound and pressing can vary) while others look like legit Blue Note.

At this price, it's sort of a grab bag but if you're not looking for perfect quality or have a simple set up, then $40 isn't bad when most of the jazz image albums go for $10/each anyway.

Yeah seems like all the ones that aren't Blue Note are definitely grey market which means subpar sound quality. Honestly I think I'm gonna do it and if the records I receive aren't as-advertised then I'll do a chargeback on my card.

Does anyone have experience with zavvi? If Costco or Nordstrom were pushing 10 mystery jazz LPs for $40, I would probably jump on it. If Bestbuy or Target, I would need more info on the LPs.

Whatever and whoever does the pressing $4 a vinyl that itself is worth it. Buy it even if 2 albums turn out good you are at gain.

Beware the "mystery" records.
