Incidentally, the Velvet Underground “Matrix Tapes” 4CD Box is now £29.99 on Amazon.co.uk (possibly prompted by the similar price on Spin & Norman.)
(I’d have ordered from Norman – a great online in-depth and knowledgable indie shop btw – but their website started to crash my smartphone a few months back, and hasn’t righted itself since.)
A vast improvement over the £44.99 they were initially charging, but still pretty steep since I’ve already got 2 CD’s worth already.
Watch it drop still further now I’ve taken the plunge!
(Sometimes wonder if this is all a game to brag about scoring the best price nowadays. Note to self: the best music is priceless, dammit!)
Was watching the Donna Summer. Disappeared as soon as it became available to non-Prime members! That very second. Nice on Amazon! Very suspicious!
Thanx Phil: I just order the Matrix Tapes boxset from Norman Records. Only 4 pounds shipping costs to The Netherlands. Watch and learn Amazon-sellers. ;-)
Donna Summer set expected to be at 35£? It is 58.75£… am I late or what?
For some reason you have to click ‘view lightning deal offer’ on the right hand side.
The Simon and Garfunkel complete albums box set is only £19.99 on Amazon UK. Great price.
@phantomengineer – thanks for the tip, Loaded is down to £41:30 as well. Not sure if there’ll be a cheaper Black Friday deal than that?
Sorry, that vinyl mono box set link is not working, but if you search for it on the amazon.ca you will see the sale price of CAN$229.99
Be quick! All Beatles box sets are on sale at amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=gbps_img_m-4_0982_db3210ba?rh=i%3Apopular%2Cn%3A2569574011&ie=UTF8&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_p=2295780982&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=6054205011&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=0KVDQ5S9070Z1SE7SA6G

Bruce Springsteen is €12.50
Kaiser Chiefs is €18
Norman Records have the Velvet Underground Matrix set at £26.99, but are awaiting stock. It’s a great set, and yes a lot of the tracks have been released before but the Quine tapes versions are not comparable to these versions. Anyone found it cheaper?
For a Pre-Order; do JPC charge your card when you order, or when they ship?
Thanks in advance :)
Can’t remember… I’m sure someone here will confirm.
if you pay with PayPal, you pay in advance but this is refundable.
using a creditcard is just like amazon, they charge you when they are going to ship your order
Unfortunately they do charge your card when you order. But otherwise I have experienced excellent service with them.
SDE you do a terrific job in bringing us these offers.
I know this is a global website but just a comment on shipping costs to Europe.
I live between Paris and London and find that the shipping costs from PopMarket.com are just toooo prohibitive.
They have some t’riffic deals (e.g. The Clash) but then you get a shock when the shipping pops up.
Just a comment. Keep up the amazing and very well respected work
Thanks Lindsay. I do appreciate what you are saying… just wanted to put some deals up for SDE readers based in North America, of which there are many. It’s the nature of the beast with a global audience that deals will vary on their attractiveness depending on issues to do with shipping, import costs, worrying about returns etc.
It appears to have not been spotted here yet but the Velvet Underground ‘Matrix’ box set is now only £29.99 on amazon.co.uk!!! That’s about £15.00 cheaper than it was!!!! A punt has been taken!!!!!
Yes, i just saw that too, well spotted and i got it too …
plus popmarket want£ 15.99 to ship to uk . Madness
The clash £89.99 ??? hardly worth the effort of waiting till 5.00pm
The Clash Box Set is a bargainous £98.99 ;)
That’s without shipping.
I almost got excited there – I don’t think that even qualifies as a deal. Strike it off, sir!
ordered my SAW Box! finally 106€ instead of 150 at Amazon, shipping included!
It appears that the Rod Stewart boxed set was never released in the U.S.
What region are the DVDs sold through the site?
If you are talking about JPC.de, it will probably vary but Germany is Region 2. Most if not ALL eagle rock / eagle vision releases are region free.
But aren’t they PAL in Europe and NTSC in the USA? I’m wondering what the DVD in the Simple Minds box is?
Region 2 – some are region free, if they are NTSC and region 1 it will say so in the description. Normally there is a little ‘i’ next to where it says dvd + the above mentioned will pop-up by clicking on it.
Anyone spot what price BB King was?
Hi Paul!
B. B. King was € 17,99.
Thanks Heinz. My guesstimate of £13 turned out to be quite accurate, then :)
The B.B. King boxes were all snapped-up before they went on open sale.
Bah :-(
JPC is 100% reliable and has an excellent service.
Great, thanks for the feedback. Always good to hear from ‘real’ people on such things, can’t always trust online reviews :-)
JPC is one of the oldest mail order in Germany and works without any problems.
I had massive problems with them before + am not too keen on ordering from JPC again. Very unfriendly customer service. If things go well, they are surely recommended, if things go crap and especially if it is their mistake (charging too much etc) it is a pain to deal with them.
If one is a member of German automobile service club ADAC, one can use a 6 € voucher once in a quarter of the year, which is of course nice.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of jpc.de, anyone had any experience with them in the past ? Prices look very good.
I’ve used them and had no issues. Their shipping prices within the EU are really good, I think (don’t know about further afield).
jpc is very reliable, ordered from them many times.
Regards, Heinz
bought Once Upon A Time (Limited Super Deluxe Edition) at JPC for 43 Euro :-)
Is the DVD in the Simple Minds box set PAL or NTSC? Or does it not matter? Im in NYC. Many thanks!!!
JPC 28 EUR shipping to SouthAmerica…, no way!!!
