Neil Young Archives II is £91 on Amazon UK – not the very cheapest it’s been but a good price for a really nice set.
Also noticed that the Robert Plant – Digging Deep 8×7″ box set is down to £70 on ThisIsDig.com (which is about £15 cheaper than Amazon UK).
Thanks – whilst on the dig site, I noticed a lot of this – ” great news – we’re starting to ditch plastic usage and this record will ship to you in a 100% recycled protective paper bag instead of plastic shrink wrap. Please recycle it! “. Anybody any experience of the new packing? Sounds a bit like “we’ll just stick the record in a paper bag….”
I haven’t ordered anything from them since I picked up Bowie’s Conversation Piece box set last year (and that was fine). I suspect (rather hopefully) that they mean the actual product won’t be shrinkwrapped, and that they’ll have a paper sleeve instead and both will go into the protective cardboard postage as normal.
But who knows these days. Amazon are almost at the stage where they just slap an address label straight onto the records and throw them in the post, so anything’s possible.
Not a big saving but Stage Fright (50th Anniversary Super Deluxe) by The Band is down to £79 (it’s been c£100 for ages).
And a couple of older Manic Street Preachers deluxe 2CD digibook albums are really cheap
Resistance Is Futile is £9
Rewind The Film is £8
Couple of bits on Amazon UK
Fleetwood Mac – Tango In The Night Deluxe Box Set – £58
Oasis – Knebworth 1996 2CD is £9.99
Tears For Fears box is showing as Deal Over but it’s back on again (as at Saturday 10.30pm)
Thanks Simon.
Yep! Thank you as I was waiting on this coming down in price again before I pounced on it. I’m not the world’s hugest fan of them but I have a few albums of theirs and having listened to that one digitally I decided I wanted a physical box of it.
I’m not sure if everyone got this, but I got a 50% discount code from WH Smith and was surprised it works for vinyl and cds up to £37.50 off. I got the garbage NAD 2 lp, beautiful garbage CD box set, nightfly live lp and a double cd by midnight star for £40 including shipping :)
What was the code?
It was a personal one-off code – a long string. Won’t work a second time. Maybe because I subscribed to their mailing list and often clicked through but never really bought anything? Not sure how general it is. I would recommend signing up to their email list because they often send quite good codes, but it was the first 50% one.
50% is a very generous code. They usually have some sort of code deal going. It’s currently £10 off a spend of £50 (using code SAVE10)
Apart from last year’s very impressive John Lennon deal, I’ve actually had disappointing results from Smiths. I’ve ordered 3 other box sets from them since. 2 orders they cancelled (no stock) and one arrived damaged (packaging very flimsy)
Last cancelled order, they sent me an email with a 5% off code as compensation – except there was a 10% off code running on the site in general at the time – so worthless.
It’s my first order. Hope it will arrive in good condition (well not in the Discogs sense). Do they actually work with another fulfilment partner for vinyl as I never seen vinyl in their shops. Not the last 30 years anyway.
Marillion’s latest 3CD/BD deluxe edition of Fugazi is down to around £18 on Amazon UK today.
Couple more on Amazon UK
Tears For Fears – Seeds Of Love box set is £31
Mansun – Six deluxe box set is £10.51
Can someone post a Link to the Mansun- Box? I can´t find it.. Thank you
It’s already gone again, but keep an eye on this as it’s been and gone at £10-13 about 5 times in the past 3 weeks.
https://amzn.to/3u58Q3e
Yep, I kept missing it but finally got one this morning. Thanks Matt ( and Paul of course)
Much like the Mona Bone Jakon set, the Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman Super Deluxe is down to £70.29 on Amazon UK
And the Prince – Welcome 2 America box set has dropped to a much more palatable £79.
Essential T’Pau 3 CD set (pre-order) £8.38 on Amazon UK right now.
https://amzn.to/2XEsM0D
Looks like a pretty decent set to me, filled out with edits and remixes, and 3 new tracks for good measure.
Not a bad set – but that’s the full price. After release, these Essential 3CD sets are often available for £5 to £6 from supermarkets (if you can find one still selling CDs) and even via Amazon UK if you keep an eye on their prices.
Totally agree on the supermarket thing. Sainsburys currently has many titles in this range and the similar “Gold” range down to £3 for a triple CD. I bought the Belinda Carlisle one yesterday to play in the car
…..just as my local Sainsburys gives up on music and film sales completely…..
Urban Outfitters are doing cheap Rolling Stones LP’s – SG, U, GHS
https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/en-gb/search?q=rolling%20stones%20LP
you can get an additional 10% off if you signup
code not valid on vinyl it seems
I’d be surprised if anyone hasn’t picked it up yet considering how many times it’s dropped below £40, but Neil Young’s excellent Young Shakespeare deluxe box set (vinyl, CD, DVD) is sub-£35 on Amazon UK again.
It is excellent and well worth getting at this price. Even cheaper than when I got it based on an SDE alert.
Yeah, I think I got mine for £27 – but who knows how far it’ll drop this time and I think anything under £35 is really a super price.
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – b-sides part 1 and 2, 3 and 2 CD compilations currently on pre-order for £9.99 each on Amazon – bargain!
Thanks, Part I (3 CD) ordered at 9.99, Part II (2 CD) seems to be £16 now and looks a bit less interesting to me at least, so I’ll skip for now.
I just went for part 1 too… defo the more interesting of the two
The normal version of Part 2 is also £9.99 – the deluxe packaging edition is £16.
https://amzn.to/3Cyun7e
Part 1 is outstanding (Nick Cave’s favourite Bad Seeds album, apparently) but Part 2 will be incredible too.
Thanks, a tenner is much better. The “deluxe packaging” version doesn’t look particularly deluxe to me, can’t see how that’s worth an extra 60% on the price.
The Clash is back up to £98
I’m not seeing this, I’m still getting £84.99 on my UK amazon link.
Me too. Definitely still £84.99 at 9am 23rd
Anyone in the mood for a bit more Manic Street Preachers, their excellent 2CD/DVD 10th Anniversary version of Send Away The Tigers has dropped a few £ and is down to £13.65 on Amazon UK.
Also, the new Vapors – Waiting For The Weekend 4CD box set is down to £23
The 2CD edition of Simple Minds – Street Fighting Years is £7.92 on Amazon UK.
The non hardback 4 disc Now Yearbook 93 is down to £7.99 on Amazon and instore at HMV
https://amzn.to/3nR5Xlm
That isn’t the hardback deluxe (it’s here > https://amzn.to/2XzZscd)
I know, Paul… I said ‘non hardback’ above :-)
Shame it isn’t the hardback one!
Oops… sorry. Misread :)
The joy of the missing adjectival hyphen!

Good price on Cat Stevens’ Mona Bone Jakon Super Deluxe Edition on Amazon UK – down to £70.
Good price if the order is honoured. If it’s coming from Chalkys store On amazon my tea for the tillerman super deluxe was cancelled by them. Hope this one works ok .
I’ve bought a fair amount from Chalkys, both on Amazon and ebay and not had a problem, to be fair. But I guess it’s always a gamble with these marketplace sellers.
I have had several that shift clearly second hand stuff as new (one sent me a cd that was literally snapped in half).
It is a gamble, used to buy from them, never again.
Tom Petty $122.54 (List: $174.98 (30% off (according to them))) Wildflowers & All the Rest Deluxe Edition (7 LP) on Amazon.com
The excellent Pretty Things Live At The BBC 6CD box set is currently down to around £40 on Amazon UK.
I haven’t managed to wrap my head around the weird world of Amazon pricing . . but Citizens of Boomtown vinyl seems to be up for grabs for £8.64 if you use one of the “alternative” options at Amazon UK. Seems like a cracking price for what I think is a great album.
I’ve just picked up Dylan’s The Times They Are A-Changin’ on vinyl for £7.99 in WH Smiths. It’s the first of 41 issues of a fortnightly ‘LP + Mag’ editions covering most of his albums. Other editions will be around £16, but this first one is a bit of a bargain. Info is at http://www.dylanvinyl.com.
Not a big saving but the massive 26 disc King Crimson 1969 box set is at £120 on Amazon UK, which is a touch cheaper than its been on there for a little while.
Not a huge deal but for anyone who missed it when it first went on sale, the signed Shep Pettibone set seems to be back in stock on Amazon UK (maybe preorder cancellations etc) and a pound cheaper than the standard version at £29.99
Amazon France have a deal on, spend 15 euros and get 5 euros off

Hi Paul or any other UK based readers – I was about to buy something from AMAZON.COM to deliver to the UK, and I’m now seeing a sentence I haven’t seen before “Please note that your country may charge import duties, taxes and fees that you may have to pay ahead of delivery”. The price I’m quoted already has “Sales Tax” on it, but the “Import Fees Guarantee” has disappeared. Do I presume they’ve stopped doing this and therefore we will be paying tax at the point of sale and potentially here in the UK too? I’ve ordered a few time from Amazon.com and never had an issue with Fees at this end. Do you know if this has changed recently? Thanks Rich
Hi Paul, why was my response to Rich G’s post above not posted? It contained information that is very important for ALL SDE visitors.
Because it ended up in spam for some reason…
Thanks Paul.
Thanks for trying The Golden Age Of The Phonograph. I’d still be interested to read your response if you still have it please? Thanks Rich G
Hi Rich, I
m still awaiting a response from Discogs and my Third Man order has not arrived yet. As soon as I find out anything I
ll post it here.Paul do you have any info on the £135 being free of Customs Duty on imports from the USA? I`m sure this will be of interest to all who come to your SDE site.
I hadn’t heard anything about this £135 being free of duties from USA. Sounds a bit unlikely to me but I hope it’s true.
It appears the 20% VAT fee on items costing under £135 is applicable on items coming from the USA but the VAT is supposed to be collected by the seller at the point of sale.
However there is conflicting info on the net so I`m trying to find more.
I think the “collected by the seller at the point of sale” bit only refers to EU sellers selling to UK customers.
Rules have changed since july 1. Amazon US will charge you VAT on orders under €150 or £135 because sellers (or marketplaces) are required to collect VAT at the point of sale. It’s mostly a EU rule but it seems it’s the same for the UK. Keep in mind that VAT appuies on both products and shipping costs.
For orders over €150), customer is supposed to pay VAT when it reaches the destination country. As Amazon.com didn’t want to bother (or they didn’t want to make customers pay taxes when they receive their orders and could be furious against Amazon) they changed their policy and they no longer accept orders over €150 from EU customers. If you try to buy a box set worth more than €150 and put it in your basket then when you check out you’ll see a message “We are unable to ship non-digital items to shipping adresses in Country X. Please choose a shipping adress that is not in Country X.” and they will advise you to visit the Amazon web site of your country.
So with regard to the USA nothing seems to have changed.
However with regards to the EU should Discogs be charging VAT on items less than £135?
My Dylan Bootleg Series 16 4LP set arrived from Third Man Records today, no VAT paid.
They already do. Discogs charges UK VAT on UK orders (if seller is outside the UK and in the EU) and vice versa (if it’s a UK seller then they charge EU Country VAT, each EU country has its own VAT rates even if for CD and LPs it’s often 20%, except for Germany where it’s 19%). Basically Discogs collects VAT indirectly. First seller collects VAT (via customer order invoice) and when he receives his PayPal monthly invoice, he has to pay the fees (for sales he made) plus all VAT he collected during that month.
For US customers Discogs already charged US states sales taxes for US customers before july 1 so nothing has changed. It’s the same process.
The Discogs practise of charging VAT on imports costing less than £135 from the EU is a scam. I`ve contacted Discogs twice over this and received a reply after my second message. The idiot who contacted me said he understood my confusion and explained that Discogs do not collect VAT on items over £135. I advised him to look at my message again because I was referring to items UNDER £135 suggesting it was he who is confused. I await a response.
Thanks all for your help!
Mr. Bojangles ~ The Atco / Elektra Years (5CD) Box Set, 5CD is £14.83 plus £1.75 postage on Amazon UK.
Recommended, I had heard of Jerry Jeff Walker prior to this release but not heard any of his music. I decided to take a punt and if you
re a fan of Americana I think you
ll enjoy this.New manics album 5.99 at Amazon
Ah, the usual screw you to the pre-order crew I see. They must REALLY want to be number one this week.
The deluxe one with the signed insert is also £2 off, down to £14.99
The black vinyl pre-order of ‘Blue Banisters’ by Lana Del Rey has dropped from £29.99 to £25.90 on Amazon UK. Not a great discount but vinyl pre-orders seem to creeping-up in price.
Iggy back down again.
Mansun ‘SIX’ 4-disc box set is £10.74 on Amazon UK. I paid £12.07 and received mine yesterday.
That really random Mansun – Six deluxe 4-disc box set price drop is now even bigger – it’s down to £10.
It’s still showing as temporarily out of stock but I saw some folk on here had received theirs this week from when it was £12 a few weeks ago so it looks like Amazon are honouring the ludicrously low price.
Couple of bits on Amazon UK
Black Crowes – Shake Your Money Maker 3CD softpack is £14
Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus 2CD/DVD/BR is £21
Thanks Matt, always good to read your updates.
Yes thanks Matt. You have spotted some great deals.
Any coverage incoming for the new Dexys and The Coral reissues?
Dexys reissue comes out on Sept 9 2022. Give it a few weeks I reckon.
Still not a patch on Easy Action’s 1977 box a few years ago…
Great to have Deals back!
Hear Hear. Now we just need some after a very quiet few months.
Thanks Paul for the deal! I bought two, this is the limit to buy.
And it’s gone, funnily enough…
I thought exactly the same thing, Mark. No wonder I keep missing out on these deals with people buying more than one copy…
Hi David, I don’t buy two copies for myself, one of the copies is for a friend. The problem of stocks is Amazon and its logarithms.
