Beyond all expectations my £40 Prince Welcome 2 America vinyl/CD/BR deluxe set arrived today. Sure, it took two months to get here but what a great price. Fair play to the seller (GlobalBuyer) for coming through on that one when they could, as so many other sellers on Amazon do, simply cancel the order when they oversell or accidentally under-price items.
Well done, great price! Not sure I would’ve waited that long.
Not necessarily a deal but a heads up. On Feb 4, the Prince estate is releasing a limited edition of Sign O The Times on clear vinyl with a white swirl. It can be purchased exclusively at Target.
https://www.target.com/p/prince-sign-o-8217-the-times-target-exclusive-vinyl/-/A-85383181#lnk=sametab
The same goes for 1999 but this can only be purchased at Walmart. You can also purchase them from the Prince store but they charge shipping. Target and Walmart do not. In the Prince store, the 1999 version already shows sold out. Not sure if that means it’s really sold out. The limited edition gold vinyl of Welcome 2 America also showed sold out at some point and a few weeks later it was available again. You never know with the Prince estate.
Toy Box vinyl is currently £97 on Amazon UK
Prince , Sign O The Times now £72 Amazon UK.
Thank you !Snapped up for the princely sum of £71.42.
The Kylie DISCO Guest List Edition 5 disc set is £15.99 on Amazon
Price Match for HMV I think.
Y
know I really have to grin and bear it with all these super deals, I do of course take advantage* when something I want becomes available. However this is rare because I like to get the deluxe editions I want as soon as they become available, yes I may pay more but not always but I have the advantage of enjoying these releases from day one.However good luck to all of you who are prepared to hang on and I hope you all enjoy your bargains.
*One of the best bargains for me being the John MartynIsland Years` 17CD/DVD Deluxe Box Set for sale at £145 but Amazon Germany had it for £38.88 including shipping and I was alerted to this by Paul and a S.D.E. alert. Incidentally Amazon Germany currently have it on sale for €897.00!
A shame I missed out on the John Martyn deal, that was a real bargain!
No they don’t. It’s a third party seller.
Whether it’s Amazon Germany or a third party seller it’s on sale on Amazon Germany for €897.00.
I had one of those John Martin sets on order at that £38 price..sadly got cancelled…..still gutted
15% off on a couple of things at eBay.
Decent prices on…
GNR – Appetite For Destruction Super Deluxe is £39
Bowie – Brilliant Adventure CD box is £80
Prince – Sign O The Times super deluxe is £75
Sure there will be a 20% deal on the way in the future, but if you’re in the market for something now, worth a look.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/coupon-offers/7012215-media/music/11233?LH_ItemCondition=3&_sop=3&rt=nc
Deals have finished on Amazon.de
Yep, they were up until the 6th and what great deals they were! Most of the boxsets with a 20% discount and with retail prices being cheaper than on most Amazon sotes.
Can’t actually believe thay were not widely announced here on the website.
I grabbed:
-Neil Young & Crazy Horse Return to Greendale deluxe edition 2cds+dvd+bluray+2lp.
-Cat Stevens Teaser and the Firecat deluxe edition 4cds+bluray.
-Cat Stevens Back to Earth superdeluxe edition 5cds+2lps+bluray.
-Cat Stevens Mona Bone Jakon superdeluxe edition 4cds+lp+12″lp+bluray.
-David Bowie The width of a circle 2cds.
And also “Neil Young Young Shakespeare” cd+dvd+lp. which was not part of the deal.
ALL IN ALL A 85€ DISCOUNT, more if I compare prices to other Amazon sites.
To be fair this deal has been mentioned several times in the comments section of this post.
I can see the difficulty for Paul in doing a special post about it because there was no way you could tell which records were reduced and which were not. I guess the tech guys at Amazon have found a way to just match the items that are reduced at the competitor, so the best way to take profit out of this offer was to make a list of stuff you’re interested in and then check them out one by one.
I went for “Width Of A Circle” and Lee Morgans Lighthouse Live Complete box because of the praise they got from people on this blog, the Emerson Lake & Palmer “Out Of This World”-Live set, Studio Albums boxes by Mark Knopfler and Dream Theater, Nick Caves second b-sides album, Mick Fleetwoods tribute to old comrade Peter Green, the new release of “Free Hand” by Gentle Giant incl. 5.1 mix and some “vanilla” records ;-), including the blu-ray release of the latest 007-film.
52 EUR were subtracted at the checkout from a total of 276 EUR so all in all a good deal.
Sat on the fence for the Beach Boys and “Kid A mnesiac” but waited too long. Well, maybe next time…
I had the three Cat Stevens in my basket but didnt realise the deal was only on till 6th…..DOH!!!
Rough Trade US has a giant 50% off sale going on now. I bought the Paul McCartney Flowers in the Dirt SDE for $75, and the a-ha Minor Earth Major Sky and Lifelines 2-CD deluxe versions for $13 each.
Not sure what the minimum order is, but I did get free shipping and no sales tax charged.
I’ll second that! Got The Bluebells “Sisters” 2020 colored vinyl for $15…it’s $40 on Amazon! Also Jordan Rakei “Late Night Tales” Green 2LP with download and poster for $20!!

Thanks for the heads up, but all these deals are over now already, since it was only a reaction to the 20% off at local retailer Saturn
Cherry Red have a tasty 20% off their own label releases via https://www.cherryred.co.uk/cherry-red-records-sale-january-2022/ with the code CREDJAN20.
Artists/bands featured are The Fall, The Beatles, Mercury Rev, Howard Jones, Hawkwind, Toyah, Mick Ronson, plus some really good, curated, multi-disc boxsets.
Highlights include: Mercury Rev ‘The Secret Migration 5 CD Deluxe’ at £12 with code, Mick Ronson ‘Only After Dark’ 4 CD collection (£16 with code) and Judie Tzuke ‘Chrysalis Recordings’ 3 CD (£8 with code). Postage extra is fairly reasonable.
Has anyone who ordered the Showaddywaddy box on offer from Rarewaves received it yet. Was told mine was dispatched on 20 December but nothing received yet.
Will never buy from Rarewaves, Chalky’s UK, Musicmagpie, Juno Records etc, ever again. For one thing, customer service is appalling. Ok, Amazon can be hit or miss sometimes, but at least you can get through to someone fairly quickly. So many bad experiences with these other sellers over the years.
I have ordered quite a lot from Rarewaves including about 10 albums in one go late November. One went missing and they have been very helpful in dealing with my emails and have despatched a replacement no problem. They are never quick and usually take around 10-14 days to arrive.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Music Magpie. Of dozens of CDs I’ve bought, most have been in excellent condition, generally much better than buying from private sellers, most of whom have a very loose definition of “good condition”. The couple of times I have received discs in poor condition from MM they’ve refunded me with no fuss whatsoever.
Mine arrived this afternoon, I ordered on 18th December… took a while… nicely packed and a good set…. all best …
No was just thinking that got the same message around the same time
Just got it now!
Hi Alan I ordered mine on the 20/12 and it has arrived today and it’s worth the wait. Great Packaging well worth the money.
Mine arrived today as well. Must say the customer services at Rarewaves is one of the best I have dealt with.
On Amazon.de: George Harrison “All Things Must Pass – 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe” vinyl box for 132 Euro (with discount voucher that will automatically be redeemed at checkout).
Hi,
Amazon.de
Mark Knopfler 11LP Box 120 eur.
Pretty good prices for some boxes on Amazon.de plus you get about 19€-23€ discount at checkout: Nirvana Nevermind 5cds+bluray, Cat Stevens Back to earth deluxe boxset, Neil Young Archives II, The Rolling Stones Tatoo you deluxe boxset etc.
Great tip on the Back to Earth box! I just grabbed one there for $106, including shipping to the USA. (The special discount basically canceled out the shipping, and the price is already lower than ever.)
I find it hard to believe that they omitted the Steve Silk Hurley remix of Something Got Me Started from that Simply Red remix CD.
Yeah, this collection really was a hit and a miss. Added to the rest nonetheless.

Managed to snag the Cat Stevens deal. Thanks for the heads up!
Me too!!!!!!!! Paul rocks!
Curious to note that “Mona” has been priced in the $60-70 range for MONTHS on Amazon US, yet after this was posted on SDE (and presumably generated more traffic/clicks/purchases at Amazon), the price skyrocketed to $143 US. So, in effect, SDE is creating the (presumably unintended) effect of driving prices UP rather than finding deals for blog followers…
I think any demand will drive the prices up. The SDE deal alerts mean that SDE readers get the spoils – for however long they are available – which is a good thing, isn’t it?
Double edged sword isnt it? I agree with Hoffman but disagree as you run a site. What is it meant to be funded from? Fairy dust? anyway…moving on…..
Hoffman is talking b@ll@cks, why is he visiting S.D.E.? To pick up bargains. What is one of the main purposes of S.D.E.? To inform us of available music bargains, not just Paul but fellow visitors to S.D.E. also. Of course items that were reduced in price will increase again, ‘‘tis simple innit – supply and demand.
The first place deals are often flagged up is in the SDE reader comments, once approved. Paul tries to highlight the best of these in his posts and some feature in the SDE email deal alerts too. If you check the reader comments regularly, you may get the bargains before either stock runs out, or the website algorithm responds to the increased demand as they are usually there first, unless of course Paul spots the deals himself first. If something has been a deal for a while but very few have spotted it, the advantage is SDE can draw readers’ attention to it, without us having to continually trawl through ourselves. Another “tip” is to keep items of interest that are too pricey in your “Save for later” basket on Amazon. Each time you click on your basket, Amazon gives you an update about which items have changed. Some SDE readers may actually discover deals on items of interest (at the right price) this way and then also be able to alert others to them, via the comments. It’s the way I spot most of the ones I’ve reported.
This is exactly what I do and thanks to everyone that shares deals.
It used to be much easier when Amazon allowed you to order items in your wish list by price changes so you could immediately see which items on your list had dropped in price as the largest % discounts went to the top of the list, but i guess they wanted to make it harder for people to spot bargains !
This is nonsense anyway . The reason the price is now $143 is that Amazon US eventually sold their stock (which as noted had been discounted for months) & its only now for sale through 3rd party marketplace sellers which were charging $143 (and more) before & during the Amazon deal & are still charging $143 as they presumably couldn’t afford to price match Amazons discount, so the price didn’t ‘skyrocket to $143’ at all.
That Cat deal is apparently over-
Thanks for the heads up on the Cat Stevens MBJ!! Crazy deal with free Prime shipping…had to jump on it!!
The Cat Stevens Mona Bone Jakon SDE (CD version) is $61.68 on Amazon US at the moment.
https://amzn.to/3ET41xA
Lots of low price CDs at the moment in amazon.co.uk. I bought a lot of rock & metal CDs like Weezer, Trivium, Black Label Society, The War on Drugs etc. at prices ranging from 4.99 – 6.99 GBP. A nice way to end this year :) which seems to be the year that i spent the biggest amount on music products ever (maybe this has to do with working from home and not much going out due to covid..).
Also, i noticed that when i ordered (i live in Athens, Greece) there was no “Import Fees Deposit” as was the case in previous orders few months ago. There was though a VAT that seems to be the Greek VAT (24%). Has something changed when ordering from the EU to Amazon.co.uk? I hope there is not any additional tax when i receive the order.
If you’ve paid Greek VAT Babis there should be no extra tax.
To add to Babis’s list, Smith/Kotzen is £6.99 on Amazon UK.
Wow – great price for the Mc Cartney and Obama/Springsteen books. Hopefully won’t have any of the packaging problems others have experienced. My Amazon delivery person is pretty good though.
As always I order a 7.99 LP from amazon and it comes in bullet proof packaging with an outer box and padding, i order a 5kilo paul mccartney book set and it comes in a flimsy single wall box with padding on one side. Can I assume the waterstones packing is better?
Consider yourself lucky. The first Steve Harley double LP I ordered from Amazon came without any packaging at all, of course it was trashed (and wet).
It’s replacement arrived in a brown paper bag!
Aye, Amazon’s packaging has always been hilarious over the years. Small items such as a CD or a book can sometimes be sent in a massive box, allowing it to move around and get damaged, larger items like vinyl records can have the packaging issues you guys describe as well. I think we’ve experienced it all, over the years.
I had the same misfortune as yourself with the Harley lp. All four corners were bent/ creased. Album was in sealed cellophane with an address sticker on the front. The replacement was properly packed though.
It’s been low before but not this low i think….
Neil Young – Young Shakespear LP, CD & DVD box set is now down to a mere £24 on Amazon UK
cant see it man.
Unfortunately currently back up to £58

Worth keeping an eye on. This item has a history of repeated rapid drops in price
Good tip Simon as now back at £24!
Macca Lyrics book on sale at Waterstones also for £37.50.
If you buy it from Waterstones you get a nice McCartney Lyrics tote bag with it for free, nice extra.
Primal Scream – Screamadelica: The Singles – 10 x 12″
currently £65 at amazon UK https://amzn.to/3mKplPP
Good price, but everyone please remember there are a couple of mistakes on here.
I really fancied this when it was announced. Had it pre-ordered then cancelled it because other things needed paying for. I then saw the reviews and read about “the mistakes”. Seems a shame really. Not even any sign of the offending singles being replaced, but then that might be unlikely due to the vinyl backlog. I have since realised I’ve got most of these anyway on a previous anniversary edition of Screamadelica, so now there’s definitely no point!
By ‘mistakes’ do you just mean the mislabelled loaded 12s? or, is there anything else? I know the boxes where upside-down, but that sounds like it’s simply rectified. & it wouldn’t be the first time records have been mislabelled. Is there any issue with the vinyl? The recent RSD 12 inches sounded excellent
I have it and had to return it 3 times. The first 2 12″s have their tracks labelled back to front so the first one has the Farley mix on it and the second one has the standard 12″ mix when it should be vice versa and there’s a jump on the first 12″ on the b side on the first track but these tracks are repeatedly on the 2nd 12″ and they play ok on it. I bought it a third time and it’s the same but the guys I got it from gave me the money back and let me keep it. Bottom line is caution advised.
I was under the impression that miss pressings were a benefit of collecting physical music? Whereas most ‘mistakes’ and incorrectly labelled vinyl were sent back, leaving only a few copies in circulation.
Amy Winehouse Live at the BBC 3CD edition a 8€ in amazon Spain. Superdeal. https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B08WJW5NDG/
Very nice, as the original book version of this was 3 x DVD and 1 x CD. Nice to get the audio on CD.
Gracias oskar!
De nada Alastair! :)
Couldnt resist the McCartney Lyrics at that price. Cheaper than the kindle edition!
Paul McCartney – The Lyrics 1956 – to the present is down to half its original published price currently £37.50 on Amazon UK.
Posted at 4.30 am. There is an upside to insomnia!.
Many thanks! Here’s the link for those that want it > https://amzn.to/3JpZ8Qd
If Amazon sell out or you prefer to shop elsewhere, Waterstones have this at the same price, free delivery.
It looks like they’ve price-matched the Waterstones bookshop price. So if you want to help the high street in these difficult times, you have a choice!
Thanks ! Snapped it up at that price
Still a good price for Bob Dylan “Springtime in NY” 5-Cd

Limited-time deal: Springtime In New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 1980-1985 DELUXE
https://amzn.to/3EBhhH9
Neil Young After the Goldrush 50th anniversary box set. Was £100 when released earlier this year. Now on Amazon UK for a little over £55, free postage with Prime. Also the Fleetwood Mac 73-74 vinyl box set a penny under £60.Five LPs and a seven inch single.
The Waterboys Magnificent Seven set is £34.99 at HMV with free postage The book is £26.40 at Blackwell’s again with free postage. This works out a lot cheaper than any price I’ve seen with the book in the box.
I was in HMV yesterday. Any items on display that haven’t been restickered will be price matchef to the online sale price.
Also Waterstones in store only have 50 per cent of ALL hard backs so some great music read bargains to be found. This ends on Thursday
I did see the 6 cd “Fisherman’s Blues Sessions” set is £23 on Amazon UK at the mo…
To avoid any wasted journeys, the Waterstones half price on all hardbacks ends at close of business on Tuesday 28th , not Thursday as stated !
As of Wednesday morning 29th, the Waterstones website shows the sale is still running!
No-one said the sale wasn’t still running, but the offer that was actually mentioned – ‘half price off all hardbacks’ (which as stated, was in stores only – not online) ended on Tuesday, as per comment.
Black Crowes Shake Your Money Maker 3cd only €8.95 on Amazon Netherlands

Ah yes, that time of year where we suspend disbelief and take words like complete and ultimate at face value, knowing full well that 4 years from now a demolition team will find a file cabinet full of tapes in LA or Manchester.
I looked mostly for things with little hope of perpetual reissue. It didn’t start well. Ian Dury’s DIY was cancelled by AZ for “technical reasons,” whatever that means. Deep Discount had the Hackett 4LP/2CD set at $28 for a New York minute, a no brainer. Had to spring for the Rory Gallagher set, simply because it’s a long overdue intro and really well done.
Some DD deals that are still live and worthy of consideration if you’re a stateside skinflint:
The oft-mentioned Sabotage set is $25 and change, which qualifies for free shipping.
Doors Morrison Hotel 1LP/2CD is $27.
Mott The Hoople OAC 5-disc set is $13.
As I think was mentioned a while back, they must have bought an entire shipping container of Demon Records titles, so times are good if you’re a Leo Sayer fan.
Udiscover/Universal had amazing deals—don’t overlook discounted single disc titles, lots of Beatles solo material, E. Costello, Elton, etc. One deal still live and at a similar price point:
Jeff Beck live at The Hollywood Bowl 3LP/1DVD @ $24. Was 21 at the previous discount.
Happy Hunting and all the best –

Always looking for deals on The Band box sets that never seem to happen and got excited about the Stagefright deal, but alas, no shipping to the US.
The Bob Dylan 1970 3-CD set is £12.03 [3 left only] and £12.08 with Amazon fulfilled delivery at the moment on the UK site. After that it is all overseas sellers until you hit Amazon themselves at just under £20. As this is a one-print-run only release, wavering fans might want to jump in whilst some remain.
Also, the 5 disc Kylie Disco on HMV is down to £15.99

At Amazon.ca, Caravan massive box set Who Do You Think We Are? (35CD+DVD/BLURAY) now at amazing price of 423 $ cad (£247, 293€).
Not a deal per se, but HMV have the Tim Buckley Complete Album Collection box set back in stock for £31.99. It’s appears to be sold out everywhere else and even used copies sell for in excess of twice the price.

Now sold out…!
i got the last one thanks
The Who Sell Out box set for $74.50 at Amazon U.S.
Hopefully just a matter of time until the UK get this deal…
The Tull set is $25 USD at Amazon US with free Prime shipping. That’s basically half off of list price…I ordered!
I must have missed that. Now it’s at $37. Still a great deal.
Just checked…it’s still $25.18 at amazon.com…type in “A A La Mode”
Got the Chrissie Hynde CD. Have all The Pretenders albums but wasn’t sure on this, but at that price it’s worth a listen.
It’s not bad I had a listen to it streaming first and at that price jumped as at it on cd.
Now, on Amazon.de, a price guarantee for 75€ for the new 12cd-box set of Nucleus ‘Live At The BBC’, which will be available on 7.1.2022. These sessions were recorded and broadcast between 1970 and 1991. For younger SED’ers, Ian Carr’s Nucleus is probably the best band that came out of the first ‘Golden Age’ of British Jazz, say 1968-1975. Some of these BBC sessions are available on YT, if you want a taste.
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel – The Best Years of Our Lives (Double/Coloured vinyl) now only an amazing £10.84 at Amazon UK. And I thought I got a good deal a couple of months ago at £13.36. Great album by the way!
Also for 11.09€ at amazon.de for EU residents https://amzn.to/32sN0xk
Bought this and it arrived very quickly, great bargain. However, they had provided no packaging whatsoever, just an address sticker on the shrinkwrap!!! That said it is in perfect condition, no creases or dinged corners, I think that’s a pretty lucky outcome.
An unusually decent price at HMV of £12.99 for the two-colour vinyl version of the latest album by James. Last time I looked Amazon had the standard black version for the same price. HMV: https://store.hmv.com/store/music/vinyl/all-the-colours-of-you-half-half-coloured-vinyl

Get them quick
The really quite wonderful Standing in the Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan is a mere £4.99 on Amazon at the moment.
Way Down in the Rust Bucket is £7 on Amazon: Deal: Way Down In The Rust Bucket https://amzn.to/3sBafQj
Thanks Teddy. Went for this, although suspect it might be in Archives III. Also picked up Carnegie hall concert cd at £10
Bah, humbug! Missed the Grace Jones deal. Back up to £22.75 already.
Eh? It’s been £5.99 for the last few months on HMV. Doesn’t take that much effort to find !
It’s only £22.75 on Amazon because they sold out & that price is from a 3rd party.
I think you’ll find that the £5.99 HMV offer is just the standard version. The deluxe isn’t even on sale on HMV. I rarely ever look on HMV as everything there is grossly overpriced. A far cry from 10-20 years ago when it was competitive with Amazon.
Nope, you’re wrong as i bought it from HMV myself for £5.99 several months ago & it is the deluxe. If you actually look you will see that the HMV listing clearly states its the 2 CD set with 27 tracks & has exactly the same barcode. Since its exactly the same price as the Amazon Deal you lamented missing, I’m not sure how you can state that everything on HMV is ‘grossly overpriced’. As HMV have now also sold out of it in the last 5 minutes, it looks like like you have missed the deal twice! Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas !
Thanks, Nathan!
I read your post here and managed to buy the last copy (I think) of Warm Leatherette deluxe 2xCD set from HMV this morning.
Then I read Stan’s reply and groaned, thinking I was lumbered with the ordinary single disc edition. But then I saw the 27 track listing over two discs and sighed with relief.
Many thanks! I thought I had missed out on a great deal after seeing Amazon had sold out.
Apologies Man in the Tammy. My error. Glad you got one.
Enjoy ! I did wonder when it suddenly sold out on HMV shortly after i posted !
I suspect it may be something I will eventually learn to live with. The grief however at the moment is too raw to discuss in a rational manner.
I got the last HMV copy of it, thanks Nathan. It is indeed the 27 track 2-disc deluxe edition.
I posted this reply an hour or so ago but it got deleted!
Your reply wasn’t deleted, it just hadn’t been published. There is a glitch in the comment software which for some reason removes the ‘this comment is awaiting moderation’ message, even though it still is awaiting moderation. I’m working on a fix, but that’s the situation we are in!
Sorry, Paul – genuine misunderstanding!
It’s fine, I just wanted to make it clear I wasn’t deleting anything :)
“lamented” I think it unwarranted, especially as we all know how online listings are often badly done, especially on amazon.
I looked at the HMV sale items in a link on their email this morning and was surprised to find they were almost identical to the Amazon ones listed here…
That is beacause Amazon price match HMV – so as soon as HMV reduce a price in sale Amazon follow suit.
HMV version has got 2 discs. https://store.hmv.com/store/music/cd/warm-leatherette
Cheers Dean. Still on sale too.
Nick cave and Warren Ellis carnage Cd down to £6.99 as is the new James Blake album ‘Friends that break your heart’
Looks like the Grace Jones one has been and gone already….which is a real shame
Might be worth checking in-store for the 2 disc Warm Leatherette CD at your local HMV (if you have one) as they might be also on offer in-store for the same price as they are online.
When HMV online get short of stock/sell out (or they have items that have been sitting around in stores for a while) they often pull store stock & stick it online. I’ve had a couple of items that were out of stock online, miraculously reappeared online in quantities of 1 or 2 & when i received the items they still had store stickers & store security tags on them, so had been pulled/recalled from store stock. Win win for them as they’re more likely to sell online & they clear non-selling items from local stores & free up space for stock that does sell in that city – Though it means its often harder to find gold-dust hiding in smaller local stores than it used to be.
I hadn’t heard Crowded House’s Dreamers are waiting, but ordered it on Paul’s recommendation. Only €16 currently on amazon.nl and amazon.de: https://amzn.to/3qxEDbQ
Also £12.99 in HMV for the blue vinyl version
Factory Records LP Boxset back up at £69.99 under other sellers
