The SDE Hot Product Price Watch
Universal’s Nirvana In Utero 3CD+DVD box (due 23 September) is back up to £83 in the UK having dropped under £70 at one point. The 3LP 45RPM vinyl version is particularly good value in Britain, costing £28, and producer Steve Albini rates this highly.

The Marc Bolan at the BBC 6CD box set had risen to just under £50 on Amazon UK but has recently dropped to £37. For those in the US it might be worth considering placing an order, because on Amazon.com you are being asked to pay $108 for the same set which is around £70 sterling.

The Chic 12-inch vinyl box set (released next week) was £43 a couple of weeks back but has now gone down to its lowest UK price of £28. It’s remains very expensive in the USA at $80 / £52.

Thank you very much for highlighting this important issue. For us Anglos in a foreign land (that would be the United States), amazon UK is not only an effective controller of price but, of course, allows us to access product that might not readily be available here.
As soon as you posted the comment on the Bolan, amazon uk returned the price to 50.00 pounds. So I tend to load the basket and watch price several times a day to decide when to order. My Bolan ships at 33 pounds and that is quite a bargain given American pricing.
Now please ask Sainsbury’s to ship to America, I would like to save a couple of quid on the Tom Robinson Band!
Thanks again

Thanks Hedley. Wow, Amazon didn’t waste time in putting that price up.
