I only ask because shellac CD/Vinyl has been similarly priced before, but when i bought EIG on vinyl last monday, i got charged £16 (i guess about $30).
Is that correct?
That is not correct. As I only paid $15US for it (£7.50).
Unless you bought it from some shop that had to pay some extra expensive fee to import it from the US or something. Perhaps it's not yet being distributed in the UK and is available as an import only at the moment?
I bought it for £15...$30.
Honest to god we get fucked over if we want to buy vinyl here. The cheapest you're gonna find a new release is around £12.
It's not an import copy either, Touch and Go and Shellac hate England...

That's fucked. I just checked it out on amazon.co.uk and that is the case as it's £15 there. However in the new and used option which is
Here.
There are several stores in the US which will ship to the UK. Of course, by the time you get done with shipping and handling, you'll have probably only saved a few pounds unless you order several records at once.
Still, as far as getting records shipped overseas and all, a lot of people will tell you it's a dodgy business, but I've always had good luck with it. I used to mail order new releases to Japan when I knew the local stores there wouldn't stock them (ironically, in Japan import vinyl and CDs are ALWAYS cheaper than domestic.)
Good luck to you.
