Rhino continue to put out some excellent ‘Original Album Series’ collections. These are normally five-CD sets, packaged in simple card sleeves and a card slipcase, and priced VERY competitively (normally between £10-12).

Although, as you might expect, you are unlikely to find any bonus tracks on the albums within these sets, you will quite often see previously out-of-print records being included within the offerings.

The reissue imprint have recently launched a new website, originalalbumseries.com to help you stay in touch with what is coming out, and the site also includes some of the ‘Complete Studio Albums’ box sets range, and vinyl reissues in the release schedules.

We have a few of the newest releases to give away to three SuperDeluxeEdition readers. Happy Mondays collects four of the UK band’s studio albums and adds a live set, while Aretha Franklin Vol 2 offers up five of the singer’s late sixties / earlier seventies long-players, including live set Aretha in Paris and This Girl’s In Love With You which – remarkably – was the first commercial release of the Lennon-McCartney composition Let It Be (she’d heard a demo). The third and final prize is Curtis Mayfield Original Album Series which includes his 1970 eponymous debut and Curtis/Live! from 1971, amongst its five CDs.

To be in with a chance of winning one of these sets, simply leave a comment below. We will pick three winners at random on Monday 28 September. The order the three are picked out of ‘the hat’ will determine who gets first choice with these prizes – so the last person to be selected gets what they’re given! Hope that’s clear. This competition is open to all – good luck!

  13. I always see the competitions in my twitter timeline and try and favourite them so I will go back and enter later on. I think this is the first time I have remembered.
    Great blog as always.

  24. Entered a lot of those – hope I win – but at the end of the day I don’t care … superdeluxeedition is the best web site – I make all my purchases based on the info that comes through here – it’s always first, always best…

    Thanks Paul

  38. Love these series. Even though I’ m a sucker for deluxe editions with extra tracks I’ve also bought many of these nice prize selections. I like to keep the slipcase away and put the albums in mini crates ordered by years mixing different artists and styles

  39. I really love these Rhino sets as well as the similar sets released by Sony. (The Monkees’ set actually included bonus tracks on all of the discs, but I think it was an exception to the rule for the Rhino sets.)

  58. Carrying on down the pun route (and linked to another artist on your news page) didnt Curt Smith release solo stuff under the name ‘Mayfield’. As in Curt is Mayfield.

  59. I have been collecting these sets and love them. They take up little space and allow me to get CD versions of some of my favorite LPs at a very low cost.

  64. The james taylor set and the poco set both have bonustracks, the one i love best is the america box with the holiday album, and man, i love curtis, so…………

  119. I want to win, I am a completist and I must make my Happy Mondays or Aretha Franklin or whichever artist’s collection complete. YOU complete me. Really you do.

  132. I will RESPECT you more if I get that Aretha set, will get a BELLYACHE is I don’t get the Happy Monday’s set and hope to MOVE ON UP to get a Curtis Mayfield set! Cheers!

  135. I dream of the day my entire CD collection is made up entirely of Original Album Series Box-Sets. My OCD would love it…but not half as much as my wife!

  188. 28 September ‘ll be a Happy Monday for someone. (More difficult to think of an equally corny joke for Curtis Mayfield or Aretha Franklin … )
