Bob Marley / Island Recordings vinyl box
Superb deal for the rigid card (not metal) Complete Island Recordings Bob Marley and the Wailers 12LP vinyl box on Amazon UK right now.
This set includes the nine studio albums (Catch A Fire to Confrontation) recorded for Island Records and two live releases (including the 2LP Babylon By Bus) all pressed on 180g vinyl and is just £99, at the time of writing (2pm BST, 23/8/16). Also comes with ‘Back to Black’ MP3 download codes for all content. Seems like Amazon are price-matching HMV in the UK (see price comparison widget below).
The best 99 pounds I’ve spent in a long time. Bargain. Storing the attached back sheet of the box set a bit of a nightmare though. Any ideas? It’s not as if I’m going to fold it up or anything.
My delivery brought forward to 28th August :-)
One thing I liked about this set was that the original inner sleeves, and poster, were included (where applicable). But they were alongside nice lined paper inners, rather than actually being used as the inner sleeve, so included as a little bonus, as it were…
I know it might not sound like much, but little touches like this mean a lot to a SDE fan… They easily have skimped these, but they didn’t… Nice one : )
Paul, great catch. A question on the price comparison widget. Is this supposed to update, when the price changes ? The £99 price is gone, and no longer available, the new current price is £159, but i notice the widget still has original £99 price.
It’s not quite 100% ‘live’ (boring technical reasons) but refreshes periodically. Hence what you’ve experienced. I have done a manual ‘refresh’ though and is now accurate again. :)
But! I don’t do drugs! And I’m a narc! (Not professionally though.)
Help! Is this the aluminium? Its not clear enough for me. Sorry if this is blatentley obvious.
I do say “rigid card (not metal)” – not sure how much clearer I can be :)
Is that Tyrone Tudor – Wembley high??
Gone on both HMV and Amazon UK :(
Thank you so much. Almost bought that for 3 times the price last week :D
Just ordered delivery is estimated to be 1st November!
