  2. You can pick up the Black Sabbath – Sabotage Super Deluxe 4CD set (well, 3x proper CDs and a 2 track CD single) for £29 from Amazon FR (£33 incl delivery).

    You can also pre-order the new Bowie box set (Brilliant Adventures) for £79 (£84 incl delivery)

      1. It is Amazon U.S. – I bumped into it searching for Pink Floyd’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason Remixed & Updated” and there was a small green “Savings” identifier below the price stating the promotion. From there, you can select “Shop Items” to browse items in the deal (select single, double discs, box sets, etc. are available). It’s not very intuitive so I’d recommend assembling a wish list of sorts and spot checking to see if they are eligible. Also, check out importcds as well because there 10% off deal and lower list prices might translate into more savings plus their sale covers all in stock items.

  6. I got the Abbey Road & White album for £50ish from a Paul heads up, so will wait for Let it Be to drop a bit more. I finally popped into the Bowie store today and asked if there would be Black Friday deals on the BLA vinyl box, answer was no, I was impressed with the look of the store, bought a t shirt, my bruv said it was like The Works but with Bowie merch, lol, he was kind of right apart from the prices, £365 is a huge amount to spend on a box set, I think I’m going to wait until it is £200 ish, if it doesn’t drop, sod it. I got the Springsteen No Nukes 2 CD/DVD for £19 from Amazon, the quality of the DVD is stunning. If any of you have teenagers, put a cd on, tell them it’s streaming and ask them to tell Alexa to play Taylor Swift, fabulous fun

  9. The new Saisfaction Guaranteed 9 disc box from Philadelphia International Records is now $90 on importcds.com with the 10% discount. Use code TENOFF for the 10% discount. Lowest ever for US residents.

    1. Thanks. I hovered over this at £69 on Amazon UK and it bounced back up but managed to nab this one at £64.50 delivered. Now just need a deal on Cahoots in a few months time to keep the set going.

  12. Simple Minds – Street Fighting Years 4CD set is down to £27 on Amazon UK

    Marillion – Fugazi deluxe box set has dropped even further to £16.50

    Supergrass – In It For The Money 3CD set is £11.99

    George Harrison – All Things Must Pass Super Deluxe CD set is £88

      1. I mean, yeah there are delivery charges for a lot of things if you don’t pay for delivery through Prime.

        HMV have it for £11.99 as well and free delivery starts at £20 there.

  15. Don t need no black friday to have a very good friday today : i bought “Last day of june” in a blue translucent vinyl , Springsteen No Nuke 2 cds + Blue ray , Kid Amnesiac 3 cds, Crimson Music is your friend 2 cds and Floyd MLOR updated and remixed cd. The cd format is still the best for me (i still have a cd reader in my car ! boooh) even if i regularly buy vinyl and sometimes cd and vinyl release for a signle artist.

    1. I think the price will continue to fall over the coming months. I’m waiting for it to hit £65, as that’s the most I’ve paid for any of the previous three Beatles super deluxe sets. As this is my last favourite of the four, I refuse to spend the most on it :)

  19. Let It Be 6-Disc Edition
    Thanks for the heads-up on that. I had been holding back until I was happy with a good price. As a result of your help here Paul I was happy to purchase it from Amazon UK for £88.47 on 16 November 2021.

  20. Amazon Spain have some decent deals for Black Friday week. Beatles ‘Let It Be’ CD set is €90, Vinyl set is €95 now.Mark Knopfler album CD set is €24. Dylan Bootleg 16 set is €92. It is still throwing a large amount extra on the checkout price when you’re ordering from Ireland though.
    Amazon Italy have Bowie ‘Man Who Sold The World’ vinyl picture disc and Phil Collins ‘Face Value’ vinyl picture disc for €15.

  22. The Joni Mitchell “Archives 2” box is CAN$53.18 at Amazon Canada… which I believe is an even better deal than what Amazon France is offering. If you’re Canadian that also includes free shipping within the (our) country.

  23. The Joni Mitchell Archives vol 2 set looks a really good deal at £35. Problem is I haven’t heard any of her albums prior to Court and Spark, despite reading that this earlier period was her greatest.
    The 4-cd box of the Reprise years which covers the actual albums from this period is only £27 on Amazon UK currently, and would seem a better place for me to start, so I’ve gone for that.

  25. Importcds 10% off promotion is in play until November 23rd. All in stock items discounted by 10% using the code: TENOFF … I can’t admit how much I just spent on the 8 box sets I just ordered but will say I saved around $47.00 using the promo :)

  29. The Beatles’ 2 CD’s-worth of outtakes of leftovers and conversations about sandwich fillings dragged out over 6 discs is overpriced at half that.

    Give me ABBA’s geriatric cover versions of 70’s Woolworths Xmas ads every time.

  30. I have just had a very fabulous carpenter rearranging my shelving for my reduced collection post downsizing, and I have space for more than I thought, so bought the Beatles Let it Be cd box, for the first time ever I have sold/bartered some of my bulky boxes ( Clash, Neil Young, Pink Floyd ), luckily found a nice chap locally looking to add to his collection and have arranged a straight swap in exchange for a mountain bike, I think I’m finished with vinyl boxes

  31. Amazon UK have just announced that from January 19, 2022 they are no longer accepting UK VISA credit cards as a payment method. They are blaming VISA UK charging higher transaction fees since post Brexit the EU cap on fees no longer applies and they are “free” to charge above the EU cap. It’s not going down well online and I wonder if it might backfire on Amazon as a lot of people only have VISA credit cards and are saying it’s not worth the hassle getting another card just for one retailer. They could lose more from sales than they save from transition fees. Who knows. There is a school of thought that it is just a negotiating tactic to get the VISA fees lowered.

    1. This isn’t just about Amazon. My bank recently switched my card from visa to Mastercard as they are no longer doing business with visa, so it’s bigger than Amazon or fee negotiations. If your bank forces you to switch by no longer offering visa then there’s nothing you can do other than try to switch to a bank that will still offer visa , which is just as much hassle.

        1. Received a fairly convincing looking Spam Email from “Amazon” regarding this today.
          Looks almost right on first glance but there is no need to click on any of the update links included. Take care people

        3. Yes, it’s happening here in Australia as well. My Bank switched my Visa to Mastercard 6 months ago. I now have 3 Mastercards!! (1 for general expenditure, 1 for music expenditure and 1 for travelling lol!!)

      2. If you apply for an Amazon Mastercard (which I think has no fees) you get a £40 Amazon voucher to spend on the box-set of your choice. Maybe this is also a factor behind Amazon’s announcement.

        1. Not necessarily for long – my bank switched my Visa Debit for a Mastercard Debit card last month, so the flight from Visa isn’t just about credit cards. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if they hadn’t told me – spending money is spending money whoever gets the fees.

      2. They already have. The only difference is that Visa are charging the new higher fees on refund transactions (I would imagine Amazon do a lot of those) and Mastercard are only charging the new fees on purchases. It’s a Brexit effect due to Amazon being Luxembourg based. I’m sure they’ll work it all before January and it won’t happen.

  34. The Joni deal is excellent value on Amazon France as has been said, the Joni site have also emailed to tell me they won’t be sending the triple Live vinyl singularly in advance of the 10LP box set coming out in February!!, Considering Amazon are now selling this same LP albeit on good old black vinyl at a £10 saving and I can get it tomorrow. I feel like cancelling the order.

  37. ‘Tis the season to horse trade! I’ve cancelled the Elbow LP, but kept the cd order, to justify getting the excellent value Joni Mitchell cd set. Thanks for highlighting this deal.

    In other times Prince would be a no brainer, but in my current rational world of spending money, if I want the album, I really only need the cd, and I’ve yet to buy that.

    1. If something looks too good to be true, it probably isn’t true…..

      That prince welcome 2 America box set is delivery 6 weeks …..from a store less than 80 miles from my house. If I hadn’t bought the £10 cd I Still wouldn’t fall for it.

      Mind you, if the Beatles let it be was £40 i would buy 2 !

  40. Beatles – Let It Be Super Deluxe CD set is down to £88 on Amazon UK.

    Springsteen – Ties That Bind 4CD/3DVD set is down to £50

    There’s a 3rd party seller offering Neil Young Archives II for £81

      1. I’ve already returned my £56.99 preorder after reordering at the lower price of £49.99, now I’ve ordered it from amazon.fr and will return it yet again to amazon.uk when it arrives. I’m just not letting amazon.uk get away with such price gouging.

        I’ll never preorder from them again, that’s for sure.

        1. I have been holding off for the Joni box, so £37.99 was an immediate purchase price for me. I am still hoping that The Beatles will come down to £80, and similarly for the latest Dylan. I have been stung several times by Amazon UK on pre-order price drops, often after they have taken the money but before the official release date. This was how I got my £5 back on A Momentary Lapse of Reason as they posted it tracked after the price change date even though they had taken the money several days earlier at the original pre-drop price so I had proof that the guarantee should apply. It is definitely getting harder to get these refunds, but in some cases, not preordering would mean missing out such as on the Faust box. Overall, we’re not going to win, all we can do is try to minimise the losses

        2. You seem to have a shaky grasp of what ‘price gouging’ is. Selling an item at or around the recommended retail price when others are discounting, or discounting an item after someone has already bought it at full price isn’t ‘price gouging’ lol

          1. Yes, well done, I used the wrong term, I was a bit annoyed. Reducing the price by £10 THE DAY AFTER release date so the price guarantee doesn’t apply, or selling it for almost double what THE SAME COMPANY are selling it for in other countries aren’t price gouging. Still not very nice though, is it?

          2. The whole point of Amazon’s tax structure is that they’re not “the same company “ – each territory is treated as a separate entity which is why if you buy an item from Amazon France ( that actually ships from a warehouse in Scotland which is holding European stock ) you can’t return it to Scotland whence it came – you have to speak to French customer services & return it to France as each country’s inventory & customer service teams are totally separate – Amazon UK have no visibility of stock/pricing or orders placed on Amazon France , Amazon Germany etc.

            I have often contacted Amazon when a price has dropped significantly shortly after release & on every occasion they have matched the new price & refunded the difference (rather than having the added cost to them of processing a return & reshipping the same item again just because the price has changed) – maybe you could try talking to them when you have an issue, instead of just SHOUTING about it in comments sections !

          3. I said earlier that I did talk to them and asked if they’d refund the difference after the price dropped. They weren’t interested. Even when I said I’d return it and reorder.

          4. I’ve never understood why Amazon drop prices on actual release day, as they’ve got all those pre-orders to guarantee and probably only attract a few extra sales on release day for all that loss of revenue, except they are doing right by all the pre-order people. To drop significantly a month later has become standard practice. To drop significantly a day or two after release day is crappy thing to do, although very common with acts chasing midweek chart positions (not in the Joni case I doubt). I’d say a couple of years ago, they were more amenable, but the last couple of times I’ve asked very nicely and they are very reluctant and would rather you return and reorder. If you do return as “unwanted” though, I think you have to pay return postage which eats into your saving. I wish they’d just put up a reasonable price and stop faffing so much, although I have had a few pleasant pre-order savings. When Amazon has the same price as other vendors, I sometimes favour them, as you may get that better price on a release day drop because of the guarantee. As has been said on this forum before, you don’t tend to get bargains on your favourite acts as you want it early and can’t risk it selling out. On those optional purchases (I’ve just done the Prince one), you can take the risk and get a bargain.

  46. Not a deal, but for those wanting a signed Taylor Swift cd, the new version of Red is available from her UK shop for 48 hours, or until the offer lasts. They are taking orders and delivering at a later date.

  48. Gone for the Prince deal at that price. Will be interested to see if it shows up and in what condition (the seller has a habit of overselling products then cancelling orders, and some items arrive a bit battered).

    But happy to roll a dice at £40 and see what happens.

      1. Last time I had a problem with a third party seller on Amazon.co.uk not delivering (not this one I hasten to add), all I had to do wait until the last estimated delivery date had passed (+ 3 more days) then send a message to the third party seller who ignored me, wait a number of days (less than a week for a non reply) and then I could invoke the “Amazon Pay A-to-z Guarantee for buyers”, “problem with order” and “request a refund”. Amazon (UK) gave me a full refund. It’s not quite as good as the customer service for amazon fulfilled products, but it’s a great insurance policy. Just be careful on the estimated delivery date not being too long, though they do say “or 30 days from order date whichever is sooner”.
