    Default Good sources of Japanese Releases

    Does anyone have experience of obtaining Japanese Releases, particularly vinyl, without the hefty premium normally found on imported items? Does anyone know of any Japanese retailers that deal direct with overseas buyers, or good UK sources?

    I'm particularly looking for a mint or nearly mint Japanese issue of Pink Floyd's 'More' on vinyl. The last release cost about £17 in Japan, but retails for over £40 on eBay.

    Cheers for any thoughts.

    They're an Amazon marketplace merchant. I don't know about vinyl but I orderd a disc from them (Touch....John might know about them Mark Mangold's band) I got the CD in 3 days from JAPAN. Some discs from Amazon take a week....from the UK

    Watch out for the import charges from Amazon Japan. I made 3-4 orders and each time a Fedex invoice with charges has followed.
