The Turn  First Pressing Sold Out

Michael Fremer  |  Jul 31, 2015

Jerome Sabbagh, who's album The Turn was most favorably reviewed on analogplanet, emailed the other day to say that "...the first pressing...is completely sold out everywhere in no small part due to the interest generated by your review".

However, there is good news, he went on to say, " I have ordered a second pressing. It will be pressed at QRP, just like the first pressing. Everything will be the same, except it will not be numbered. I am pressing another 500 copies. They are on pre-order on my website. Delivery time should be about 6 weeks, maybe less, but it's not sure, so I put 6 to 8 weeks on my website, to be conservative."

I did receive one of the first pressings and it was most certainly due to the great review by MF.

I've been listening to it a lot, it sounds fantastic, all four musicians are great. Particularly love both the playing of drummer Ted Poor as well as how his drums are recorded. Totally worth the cost no doubt about it.

I was lucky enough to get one of the mid numbers from the first run - what great artistry on all fronts! I hope your successful experiment in quality and affordability for vinyl brings dozens of deserving artists to our ears by way of great mastering and great pressings.

356/500 - - - in "heavy rotation" if I may borrow a phrase.

Thanks to MF's review. Really happy for Jerome. Hopefully next time he will be able to go AAA.

What's weird is that I ordered this long after it appeared the first pressing had sold out. I was just checking Jerome's website and there appeared an option to purchase a copy. I clicked on the PayPal option fully expecting disappointment but I was wrong! A bit later I received an email personally thanking me for my purchase and a few days later it arrived! Not looking a gift horse in the mouth so to speak. Digging the tunes as well!

In the previous post regarding this record, that he had several copies reserved for himself, but if an order was placed online he would ship from his personal stash.

gave it a preview on iTunes, and am putting it on my wishlist. (assuming any will be available). Was any degree of thought and/or creativity put into the cover art? didn't think so.

I just want to clarify that the second pressing (limited to 500 copies) is on pre-order on my website at www.jeromesabbagh.com, for those of you who want to make sure to get a copy.

Thanks!

Don't second guess yourself out of this fine album folks. Plunk down your coin. Worth every penny!

So I guess the copy I ordered a month ago on Amazon won't arrive until the second pressing?

Actually, Amazon got a limited number of copies of the first pressing through Sunnyside (the record label). If they didn't send you the first pressing already, that means you ordered after they were out of it. FYI, there are no plans for them to be getting the second pressing. If you want to be sure to get it, please pre-order on my website. Thanks!

Well, I actually pre-ordered it well before the LP was released, but apparently they did not receive enough to meet the back order demand. I will gladly cancel my order and get it directly from you!

Missed the first pressing, but I ordered up a copy of the second. Looking forward to it!

The order page says that the purchase includes an "uncompressed download." Is that a FLAC copy? How great would that be to have a copy for my Pono as well.

Just wanted to clarify that the uncompressed download is for wave files. Thanks!
