James‘ Laid box set from last year – which in addition to the remastered 1993 long-player also includes the Wah Wah album and 32 bonus tracks – is extremely cheap on Amazon UK today.

This super deluxe set comes with four CDs and includes a 56-page hardcover book, a few button badges and postcards and is just £20 at the time of writing (18 Jan 11.30am GMT) which is less than HALF the original price.

  1. Once again – thanks SO much, Paul. I too thought I had missed out, as I clicked the link and saw £39 instead of £20 – but followed your advice and found it for AUD$40 incl postage through a reseller. Unbelievable value! A huge fan of James and was waiting for a chance to snag this. Almost feel guilty with the sheer value we get through these Deal Alerts. You’re good to us, Paul. Love it!

  3. Can we PLEASE have a box set of all James “early” stuff (ie up-to-and-including “One Man Clapping”); albums, singles, demo’s, radio sessions etc. Their golden era, for me at least.

  4. My James boxset arrived this morning. It’s the best £20 I’ve spent in a long time! A thing of beauty to be sure, and that’s before listening to a note of music! I’m well made up.

  5. Mine turned up yesterday. Really surprised at how big the damn thing was! For 4CD’s, I was expecting it to be maybe the similar format as the Alanis or T’pau box not LP size! Well worth 20 quid.
    Hope they do something similar for Whiplash, Seven and Gold Mother.
    Maybe Millionaires as well.

  6. That is a bargain. I bought it last year for about £35.00. It is a superb package and the bonus cd’s of both albums are excellent. Highly recommended to anyone wavering.

  7. Hi Paul, thanks for the heads up, I didn’t bother with this initially due to the price but at $44 AUD delivered couldn’t resist…these alerts will test my wallet again this year!!!

  8. The price is still £20 but you have to go to “other sellers on Amazon” on the right panel and select Amazon UK. The £28 price is a third-party seller.

  9. ooft i can’t resist this at that price, been an expensive week for me, this, some Bowie items and Simple Minds New Gold Dream dvd-audio, now if i could just get Tears For Fears Hurting box set for a good price…

  11. I’m not a fan of the band James as such, but I am a fan of their fantastic ‘Laid’ album from 1993. I have ordered this, because of the good price, and the super deluxe versions aesthetics. Thanks Paul for the tip off.
