Haha only in Japan...

[JSngry]

Limited Release, yeah, right, they'd only need to sell one.

[HutchFan]

Well at least they picked a good record!  

[felser]

While that has to be a mistake, it ain't gonna be cheap (or anywhere on my radar):

 

Crystal CD edition of "Waltz For Debby" release from Bill Evans Trio. This product is released in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the original recording of the album. Features 2013 DSD remastering based on the US original analog master tapes. This set comes with a Pure LP edition and a SHM-CD edition of the album, both of which use the same DSD master. LP box packaging. *Crystal Disc is made of glass material for pursuing the ultimate audio quality, and it fully compatible with standard CD players.

Not necessarily a mistake. Hmv has it for 216,000 yen. (same price plus 8% tax ?)

Not a prime candidate for future RIAA Gold Record certification then.

Nihil sub sole novum, apparently: The $2000 cd made from glass

We should have a "What glass cd are you listening to right now"-topic.

[clifford_thornton]

Fascinating. Thanks.

Whoow - its gone down by £40 since I saw this a few days ago, for those who pay Sterling.  Bargain ;-)  (Well, unless we Brits leave Europe today and the pound plummets.)  You'd think they'd offer more than 3% bonus points given the price.  Wouldn't want to drop one of these being made of glass.

And people thought paying $50 for a 45 RPM Pressing of a (Blue Note) album was silly!

[bogdan101]

Contains a pure LP from the DSD master...It don't get no purer than that!

It was!  But there are levels and  degrees....

[Kevin Bresnahan]

So let me get this straight... $2,000 for a CD made of GLASS?!? As in, the stuff you drop on the floor and it smashes to bits? Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.

Nor has anyone noted that this is $2000 for a glass CD, an SHM transfer (presumably not glass) and vinyl.

So really the glass CD is less than $700.

[six string]

Maybe you could sell the lp for $1,000 and recoup some of your money.  

[Kevin Bresnahan]

On sale for only $1300!

Oooh! Now I can finally hear that Bill Evans album. I always wondered what it was like.

[Pim]

And finally a pure Lp. Never liked those impure ones... 🤔

Hey!  Don't be putting down Belle Barth!  or Redd Foxx, or...

I dropped a $3 bottle of whisky yesterday and it  shattered. I was so mad.
