£30
Aqualung was the first Jethro Tull album remixed by Steven Wilson and was originally re-released as a 40th Anniversary package in 2011. This new edition was issued in 2016 but has been hard to get hold of for some time. The first CD contains the album mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson, CD 2 features additional 1970 and 1971 recordings (also mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson). The DVDs include Steven Wilson 5.1 mixes, hi-res stereo mixes, the 1974 quad mix and flat transfers of both Aqualung and the Life Is A Long Song EP (two of the EP’s tracks haven’t been available in this form previously).

My Jethro Tull box arrived this lunchtime
Kudos to Royal Mail for the Sunday delivery,perfect timing!
The Wham 7” vinyl box now only $199 on Amazon US!!
On Amazon IT
Frank Zappa “Mud Club/Munich ’80” (3cd) is £8,5 right now.
I think is a very good deal
Excellent news about Frank Zappa Mudd Club, ordered! I was looking at purchasing it yesterday for 3 times that amount, cheers Paolo
Zappy Christmas! Fantastic spot, thank you very much indeed.
Billy Bragg’s box set “The Roaring Forty” is about £18 off and down to £95 on Amazon UK at the moment.
Few bits and pieces on Amazon UK
The 6LP Produced By Tony Visconti (Limited Signed Edition) box set is down to £78.50
Thin Lizzy Live & Dangerous 8CD is £59
The 14CD Billy Bragg Roaring Forty box is £95
Ordered the Tom Petty Fillmore CD set though Amazon/Global Deals for £25.99 & it arrived today with a nice big £64.99 HMV price sticker on it so not sure if they’re re-selling HMV returns or old stock that HMV is offloading.
Mine came too and was exactly the same.
Yes, been that way for a while – every now and again they seem to locate a bunch of HMV stock and shift it very cheaply (I got the Flaming Lips Yoshimi box from them for about £20 about 3 months ago)
Probably the latter. I got the double reissue of The Monkees’ first album at my local shop for £30 a wee while back, £55 FOPP price sticker on the back
Nirvanas In Utero 30th CD boxset has just dropped to £149.99 on Amazon UK – still too rich for my blood for what’s on offer, but it’s the lowest I’ve seen it so far.
I’d love this, they had a few copies at Banbury HMV in the summer, it does look great, I think £80 would make me bite, but it didn’t seem to be that high end that I’d pay £150, maybe I’m a tight wad lol
Both Minstrel In The Gallery and Aqualung box sets are just £23 each on Rarewaves Outlet on Ebay.
Minor correction – probably a copy/paste error, but the JT boxes are shown as having “blu-ray” before it says “dvd”.
Not sure if it has not been cheaper before, but certainly cheapest I have seen it recently at just under £60. https://amzn.to/3RptgBi
For those who aren’t telepathic Dirk is referring to Little Feat ‘Waiting For Columbus’ 8CD Box on Am. UK
;) love it !
Fun Boy Three – ‘The Complete’ Boxset back down to £27.05 on Amazon UK
Before the utterly fabulous Amazon France Who’s Next deal there was the still pretty fabulous iMusic Denmark deal. My perfect well protected copy arrived today, so thanks to the eagle eyed person who posted its availability here.
And unlike the Amazon France deal, the imusic one is still going on!
Camel back up to £181. Bloody glad I bought it when I did from HMV’s ebay for £169.99 Utterly fantastic set and wonderfully packaged by HMV.
Salvation! (featuring exlusive New Order tracks on the soundtrack) blu-ray $12 (vs $30 retail) on Kino Lorber site (winter sale):
https://kinolorber.com/product/salvation-have-you-said-your-prayers-today
From the soundtrack:
1 New Order– Salvation Theme 2:14
4 New Order– Touched By The Hand Of God 5:02
7 New Order– Let’s Go 3:44
10 New Order– Sputnik 2:31
12 New Order– Skullcrusher 2:51
Jethro Tull – Minstrel In The Gallery (40th Anniversary: La Grande Edition) £28.50 + £1.26 delivery on Amazon UK
https://amzn.to/46FAJAz
Thank you! With a bit of luck I can fill in the missing 40th albums (the best of them).
Given how many people have missed those Tull box sets, I think it would be really good if Paul could highlight these new reissues/reprints (Aqualung, Minstrel in the Gallery and Songs from the Wood, to be precise) in an extra article. So far, the news seems to have mostly spread under the radar.
ABBA 10 CD Box Set (2022) only £15 on Amazon France at the moment
For the Canadian Prince fans holding out for a deal on the Diamonds and Pearls 7CD+blu-ray box, amazon.ca currently have it for CDN 108 (GBP 63 but they don’t ship to the UK)
On a related note: The SDE by German company Turbine Medien for the film ‘Sign O’ The Times” originally released a few years ago and in all its glory (12×12′ box, 2 blu-ray and 2 dvd including lots of bonus features and also some ‘stuff’ in the box, but sadly no marbles ;-) ) quickly out of print is now available again.
Either directly from Turbine Medien or via this link also from jpc.de:
https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/movie/detail/-/art/prince-sign-o-the-times/hnum/11614470?lang=en
60€ plus shipping if you’re outside of Germany but i’m quite certain that some Prince afficionados are waiting to add this to their collection who missed out first time round…
Aqualung already back up to £30!
Still a major bargain at £30 but price is yo-yoing – currently £26
The Who’s Next box set is fantastic. Mine arrived in great condition plus as an unexpected bonus, I’ve got an email from Amazon France saying that because it was “delivered late”, they’re refunding the delivery cost. Which makes it even more of a you-know-what.
Ah, that explains the email I got from Amazon Fr which I thought was just an encouragement to sign up to some scheme of other and didn’t bother translating when in fact it’s 10 euros off next purchase.
Many thanks, ordered both Tull boxes from Chalky’s Who box arrived last night. What an absolute beast of a thing.
Amazon Uk has The flaming Lips Yoshimi 20th box set for £18.99!
Thats a bargain for 6 disc set.
For anyone who missed out on the Who box set from Amazon France, HHV in Germany have it for EUR 126 and Bravado for EUR 150. Well worth it !
Re Who’s Next SDE from Amazon Fr.
I placed an order a week ago and delivery was not expected until late Jan/early Feb next year. Didn’t mind the wait as the price was so good.
They must have received stock early as I just received notification that my order has shipped with delivery to Oz expected by 18 Dec. Happy days!
Mine arrived yesterday from AmazonFR. Well packaged and no issues.
I ordered it on the 23rd November and received notification that mine has been shipped today with delivery set for the 8th December (I am a bit closer than you in Perth Roel). Happy Days indeed.
My box set arrived a couple of days later than scheduled. I got an e-mail today from Am Fr to refund my postage costs. I’ve never had that before on late deliveries.
I’m jealous Pete.
Bonzer!
Not a huge drop , but the Amazon pre-order price guarantee strikes again – Peter Gabriel’s 3 disc version of i/o which was £21.99 drops to £18 on the day of release. As it’s no longer a ‘pre-order’ so technically the price guarantee no longer strictly applies i’m not sure if Amazon still automatically refund the difference or a message to customer service is needed for anyone who pre-ordered.
I understood the Price Promise included the day of release? From the Ts&Cs:
Thanks Gee TeeUK. I copied and pasted the Ts & Cs in your post and used it with Amazon when they at first refused to refund the difference. I’ve now got a £4 credit. It’s not a lot to lose out on, but it is annoying.
Delivered via Royal Mail from Amazon today, completely flattened, spine creased. The New Order effect again. Getting really bored with returning CDs in card sleeves due to damage. Bring back decent cd cases that are fit for purpose please
The triple coloured (silver and black marble) vinyl edition of Iron Maiden’s last release, Senjitsu, is available on Amazon UK for just £26.19.
I paid twice that and change when it was first released, then shelled out for the two CD media book version because l just couldn’t be arsed changing the record every other song, and on the last three sides every-single-bloody-song. Maybe not quite as good as “the book of souls” but still, highly recommended, especially for the more physically able amongst us.
Let It Be Super Deluxe The Beatles £38.20 Amazon UK.
Rush – Signals 40th Anniversary box (LP + CD + Blu-Ray) $127 on AMZ US (45% off $230 list price)
From the same seller of the Tom Petty box, Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (20th Anniversary deluxe) is only £19.
Just a quick one, the wife wanted Tom Jones The Complete Decca Studio Albums from a few years back its on Amazon uk for £60 to save me rooting all over the interweb looking for a better price i checked back on the SDE site and found it on Amazon Italy for £40 delivered Its great you leave previous posts up and prices are still live its always worth checkin back if you missed something, many thanks Paul https://amzn.to/414cNpt
‘It’s Not Unusual’ to find bargains by checking different sources including S.D.E.
Beach Boys Sail on Sailor 1972 currently £45 on Amazon UK.
Sail On Sailor 1972 https://amzn.to/414gKtX
Note this is the 6 CD version that I just bought for £48 from Amazon De. Excellent deal.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 4CD Live at the Fillmore box set currently £25.99 on Amazon UK. Previous cheapest was £41. List is £60 odd. https://amzn.to/412rMjy
Worth noting that is from a 3rd party seller. I got it from the same seller back in August for about £31. I wuz robbed :)
My £48 Sail on Sailor arrived from Amazon De today in a very flimsy paper bag. All corners are slightly dinged, which is so annoying.
Same here albeit no damage apart from a ripped shrink wrap.
Snap. Mine was exactly the same. Some of the shrinkwrap around the corners was ripped as well, which makes me think that it was probably a bit bashed before it was dispatched.
Aqualung 40th anniversary edition £24.82
Songs From The Wood 40th anniversary edition £38.72
I just checked Discogs….
Aqualung 40th anniversary edition cheapest price including postage…£169!!!!
Songs From The Wood cheapest price including postage…..£231.71!!!!!
Are these the bargain buys of 2023 or am I missing something here????
I have enquired with Chalkys who tell me that they do have Songs from the Wood IN STOCK!!!!! wow!!!
Thanks. Just snapped up Songs. Cheers !
Thanks for the songs from the wood box alert. I’ve ordered it. Out of curiosity I looked on eBay, there was a used copy of it for the bargain price of it for 253 quid. Crazy prices for this box set.
Can that be true of the Jethro Tull box sets Songs from the Wood and Aqualung??? I havent seen any notice of re-pressings and also notice that Minstrel in the Gallery 40th La Grande edition is available for £45!!!!
Hi Paul, In my opinion the deluxe box of Jethro Tull Aqualung (2016) contains 2CD’s & 2DVD’s. Not 2CD’s and 2Blu-ray.
Indeed. Thanks for the correction!
Prince – Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition (Limited 7CD + Blu-ray Edition) is now under £125 at Amazon. That might be the point at which I bite.
https://amzn.to/410Ib8e
Vinyl set is 10% off too.
This morning I received a 20% Christmas discount from jpc.de and I took advantage of it to buy the super deluxe edition of Norah Jones of 4 LPs for €99.99, same price on Amazon Germany. So I paid €80. I already have my Christmas gift. :)
P.S.: a little advice: check your spam folder just in case.
You have to describe to the newsletter first. And yes, you get that discount mail in the spam box. Bought myself the last available Starless box from King Crimson from €139,- for €111
In both cases, it is correct. :)
Paul Weller – 22 Dreams Version Deluxe, 2 LP at 23 € in amazon Spain.
George Michael ‘Older’ SDE set of vinyl + 5 CDs is £105 on HMV with the code DEAL25 if anyone is interested in that…
” double 180gsm vinyl remastered from original tapes plus Upper, available on vinyl for the first time. It also includes 5 CDs, 3 x 12”x12” art prints and a 12”x12” 48 page book “
https://hmv.com/store/music/cd/older-limited-super-deluxe-edition-box-set
The Who-Deal is here again, even cheaper: € 104,-!!!

Congratulations to all fellow readers down under on the prize of the latest Joni Mitchell box.
Gives me hope that we in the EU will be treated in a similar way with this in the future…
So my Who big box arrived safe and sound this evening from amazon France – absolutely perfect no issues – great deal – thanks to whoever spotted that one
It was Pierre, my vote for Spotter of the Year.
Did it get delayed in customs which is the message I’m getting?
Nope straight thru – ordered 22/11 arrived 29/11
That is good news. I ordered mine on the 23rd and it isn’t dispatched yet. Fingers crossed.
Arrived yesterday in super sturdy packaging.
The Sound of Vinyl US also has Abba, Beach Boys and the Stones Tattoo You box sets for less than $100.00 if anyone needs to pick these up.
The Sound of Vinyl US has the Allman Brothers No Trouble 10 LP box set for $166.00. This has been as much as $500.00 in the past.
The Beach Boys Sail on Sailor 6CD deal that eamonn mooney mentioned earlier is still on at imusic.dk (there’s a drop down country menu on the home page). Mine shipped earlier today; £39.50 including postage.
Most of the black friday deals now over but I noticed that the Beach Boys Sail On Sailor 5LP vinyl box is down to £62 on Amazon UK which seems decent.
On JPC.de the superdeluxe box from RUSH – Signals is now 147 euro. Cheapest I have seen.
I think like many that’s still too much. That needs to drop below £100 for me to bite.
The Sound – In The Hothouse Clear vinyl , 2LP in amazon Spain at 17 €
Great tip, the sound are one of the most underrated bands of the 80s, but th offer is no longer at that price
@Elpedro A shame, the offers don’t last long.
Not sure if it is a real good deal, but amazon France has the McCartney I, II, III vynil and cd boxes at – 45%,which amounts to 67€ for the vinyl box
Sadly mine came in some of the flimsiest packaging I’ve seen in a long time, even by Amazon’s standards:(
They offered me a 20% discount. Never ceases to amaze me how much they could save by just using better packaging vs what they end up discounting!
Just received “WHO’S NEXT ? / LIFEHOUSE” box from Amazon France. It arrived damaged and Amazon will only give a refund and not exchange it. Wonder if this “bargain” was a way of offloading returns?
I never had any problems with France. Maybe bad luck?
Sorry to hear that, both for you and because I am still waiting for mine to be dispatched.
Probably just down to Amazon’s shipping methods.
Still, at about £100, I call that a bargain – the best I ever had!
That’s worrying. With the refund, did you get to keep the damaged goods or have to return it, and at whose expense?
I ask because mine is due on Wednesday.
Seems to be the way if you order from Amazon EU, refund rather than exchange. I’ve had this a couple of times. Also just received Who’s next from Amazon.De & one of the LPs is marked, not audible but for £60 not good enough. Although after listening to the LPs I’m rather glad I’m returning them. The LP proper sounds flat & lifeless & the live LPs sound no better than a good FM recording IMO. Great performance though. Price would have to come down a bit to justify re-ordering it.
That’s unfortunate. Mine arrived today in mint condition.
Amazon sometimes has a bad habit of removing the protective outer box that was originally packed at the factory, which encased the actual box. Instead, they replace it with their own less protective box
Today I got mine and it was indeed double boxed as inside Amazon large box there was the manufacture’s cardboard box with even the attached plastic envelope with Universal’s invoice and shipping address to Amazon France.
However, this box was a bit smashed on one corner so, though it was not my intention to unwrapped it till Xmas, I decided to check it and also to check the book just in case.
Inside the manufacturer’s box there is another thick foam box containing the item itself but unfortunately one of the corners of the boxset was a a bit smashed (the right bottom corner on the back), even smashing a bit the graphic novel on the front left corner.
Moreover, the bloody big pin with the sharp point has even marked the back of the book itself because it even pierced through the memorabilia envelope, and on top of that the memorabilia folder is torn in the middle of its spine and I had to put it back in the boxset upside down so now it can’t be seen.
In summary, I have never received a so well packed item with so much issues,yes, little ones, but issues nevertheless.
By the way, the book has all its pages.
Got a partial refund of 25,85€.
Mine arrived with exceptional packaging with tightly packed foam all around it so am really surprised its damaged.
That sounds like really bad luck. These things can be real potluck sometimes – mine arrived fine, but I’ve had stuff in the past from Europe with a ding or two. I’ve started paying for the fastest delivery option as a result as they often end up dispatching from a uk warehouse which reduces the number of hands and trucks it passes through.
The outer box was damaged but the inner foam lined box was fine. The actual 10cd outer box was mint but the inner box containing the memorabilia was badly damaged. This damage was visible whilst the cellophane wrapping was still on. After much discussion Amazon have refunded me 25 euro which helps alleviate the disappointment. Cant blame the delivery people but the damage was obvious to anyone checking the box at quality control. Some you win……
Sorry to hear this. Mine was very well packaged, so probably bad luck.
Amazon.fr sold out of this set over the weekend – only third party sellers on the site now – so I guess no option but to refund when that is the case.
I am curious though – did they ask you to return the damaged item or did you get to keep it?
I got to keep the boxed set but they did want me to return it before I negotiated a discount. Looking at the damage it must have been done when the items were originally packed at source. Cant really blame Amazon or the delivery people as the boxed set itself is undamaged, its just the contents.
Sorry to hear that, Kenny. Mine arrived from Amazon France, at the weekend, and I would say without hesitation, that it was one of the best packaged boxes I’ve ever recieved. The big Amazon outer box contained the manufacturer’s box; which contained the box set itself packed in customised tight fitting plastic foam. The box was in mint condition. It would be hard to see how it could have been damaged unless it was really badly treated. Keeping it sealed for Christmas, so hopefully contents are fine.
By contrast, a paperback book from Amazon UK turned up today in a damaged paper bag, and was creased and dented. Returned it for a refund and ordered it elsewhere. It’s as if they don’t give a toss.
You guys are lucky. Mine was expected yesterday but never arrived! If it doesn’t come by 30th, “come back here for a refund”! ☹️
Eventually arrived tonight after tracking false alarms all day . Packaging in shreds, surprised it arrived at all. Boxset still to be opened
Just received the box in good condition together with a 10 Euro discount voucher for my next order. Nice.
For a couple quid more, I went with expedited shipping which meant it came from just up the road in the UK. That’s a top tip.
Got my “Who’s Next” boxset from amazon France : although the carton package was a little damage, the foam that protects the content did it’s job : mint condition for the boxset.
First time i see this king of foam , i wish it will be used in more delivery.
Most of the Amazon UK “Black Friday” deals featured above are still available – but the offers will end tonight (27th Nov).
Camel boxset appears to be down to £170 with hmv & amazon uk.
Top up Amazon account with £60 or more to earn additional £5; Not a massive saving but worth having nevertheless. Meant I got PSB 3CD / 2 blu-ray for £26…happy even though just found out the booklet commentary had been used in previous deluxe releases.
Imagine Dragons – Night Visions Expanded Edition [Coffret Deluxe 4CD+DVD – Tirage limité] at 25 € in amazon Spain.
Cat Stevens’ Teaser and The Firecat SDE (the 5 disc set without the LPs) on Rarewaves UK for GBP 35 in addition to their Black Friday 10% off everything. So it comes down to GBP 31.50.
Also noticed Cat Steven’s Catch Bull at Four 50th Anniversary LP for GBP 12 less 10%
10% off deal finishes today
Thanks. Just ordered. £32 to a UK address. Happy.
The Beatles Box Set of Blue & Red LPs is only £120 (& free shipping) at Rough Trade store on Ebay UK using the code BUYBETTER20. If you aren’t bothered about the box, you can buy each set individually for only £55 each (&free shipping) with the same code.
The Who-Deal of amazon.fr is back in town…
Delivered end of january. It means they don’t have it in stock. So they take your money for at least 2 months and in the end they’ll cancel. Happened to me on serveral occasions.
Amazon only charges you when the items ship, so they don’t actually take any of your money.
Not true. They took money from my account 21 nov and now they refunded it because not available. Not the first time.
I think the situation is that if you are in UK and you order from AmazonUK, then payment shouldnt be taken until shipping.
If however, you order from Amazon EU (via the UK site), or Amazon.com or Amazon Germany or France etc, then payment is taken immediately
Not true.
I’ve had Amazon UK take money for some orders immediately but 95% of the time only when the item is dispatched.
I’ve rarely, if ever had payment taken immediately with any of the Amazons in the EU. I use the Amazons in the EU quite a lot;
Maybe down to whether the item is a third party seller or not…
Note: If you place an order for an item sold by Amazon with a credit card, we won’t charge you until the order enters the shipping process. If you place an order from one of our third-party sellers, the seller may charge your card at the time of purchase.
The wind blows mournfully
above a deafening silence.
Tumbleweed rolls by
is it really over for another year?
I’m almost hoping that it is for now.
I spent more than I anticipated last week but got some serious reductions in the process.
I was under siege this morning from emails enticing me to purchase Black Friday RSD products. I took a look at the limited range and found it all highly predictable and uninspiring. There always seems to be – an expensive live Doors set, an expensive live Grateful Dead set, a not too essential Prince offering, an unnecessary coloured vinyl from U2, a collection of The Sweet outtakes, and an obligatory Steven Wilson mixed Ultravox release.
I fully appreciate all artists and record companies that support the cause for physical product, but it would be nice if some others joined in…..
I thought black Friday RSD was incredibly disappointing in it’s offerings. I spent nearly £400 back in April at the main RSD and it would have been double that if I had, had the funds. Yesterday I spent absolutely nothing.
My Who’s Next box set from Amazon France was delivered in the UK this morning – seems to have been shipped from Germany!
Still looking forward to mine.
Mine seems to be stuck at UPS Carpi in Italy.
There’s a UK 20% eBay discount BUYBETTER20 , I got the RSD The Doors Live from Bakersfield from Rough Trade , double coloured vinyl & double cd for £48 all in
Pink Floyd ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ 50th anniversary blu-ray is £11.38 on Amazon UK.
The Dutch site platenzaak.nl has some good offers (many Rolling Stones items among others) and the Beach Boys sail on sailor cd box is €38.99….
Just purchased new Level 42 box set Later Years 1991-1998 on deep discount.com. here in US. Total all in $37.64
use promo code gobble for 15% off, plus free shipping also. Offer expires on Saturday.
Excellent tip. Thanks @Sterling!
Prince – Diamonds and Pearls SDE CD box set £142 on Amazon UK right now.
It’s down to £132 today.
I posted the the rarewaves uk offer of Bob Dylan’s 5cd springtime box on here earlier in the month. I received the box about a week later brand new and sealed.
Via Amazon Canada: Blondie’s “Against The Odds – 1974-1982 (8CD)” is a Black Friday 38 per cent off and is now $101.99 Canadian. Only three left in stock as of November 23, 2023 at 1:59 P.M. east coast North America time.
It is interesting how different, and stereotypical, foreign sites are. Having just bought the Who box from France and the Beach Boys from Germany, the difference is amazing. The French are famous for protecting their language and everything from and on French Amazon is in French, but click on English for Amazon De and everything, including emails, updates etc. is automatically in English. I do speak French so not a problem but I do find the difference of outlook interesting .
Aye, and we’ve bailed them out twice ;-))
No idea if replies are posted faster than comments but at platenzaak.nl is the BB Sail on Sailor cd box today €38.99 (among other interesting sales).
There is a translate into English button on the French site.
I have ended up down the rabbit hole. Neil Young Harvest 50th vinyl/DVD box set is £92 plus postage from WowHD via FNAC. https://www.fnac.com/a17442821/Neil-Young-Harvest-50th-Anniversary-Edition-Limitee-Coffret-Vinyle-album?oref=84b75bfe-90d5-2470-c779-bd37033f219b
The 9 LP Neil Young Official Release Series 22,23,24 &25 is £92 on Amazon Germany plus £5 postage.
Also on the site, Rolling Stones in Mono coloured LP box set is £235 plus a tenner postage, 25 percent off usual German price of £313.
Oh, and Who’s Next / Lifehouse 4LP set £43 plus £5 postage
I’m a big Neil Young fan and I normally get everything on both CD & LP but I drew the line at this release. If it drops below £50 I may be interested.
I meant for that to go under The1Rover’s post re: Harvest 50th vinyl/DVD. The Am. De. deal for 22,34,24,&25 ORS is a bargain. 9 LPs for £92 and people moan about the price of Shakey’s releases. Blame the retailer because Am. De. are still making a profit selling it for £92. By the way this a tremendous set, highly recommended.
I did think that you had set the bargain-bar rather high there Mr. Goldie.
It’s not quite The Who boxset bonanza but a few half price bargains in the lexer music (rather small) sale https://www.lexermusic.com/sale
A-Ha – True North 2 LP
Cure – Wish 3 CD & 2 LP

The Who box is available again on Amazon Fr standard delivery between 16 and 21st December, £105.98 all in.
Metallica’s Blck Album Super Deluxe (https://www.metallica.com/store/metallica-the-black-album-remastered-deluxe-box-set/REBADLXBS.html) is at 89,99€ on fnac.com (https://www.fnac.com/a14988400/Metallica-Black-Album-Edition-Limitee-Coffret-Super-Deluxe-Vinyle-album#omnsearchpos=1)…
Thank you so much Deguello1. Terrific price.
Thank you very much. I haven’t had a good experience with Fnac in the past, but for a saving of this size, it’s worth the risk
Many thanks for the tip Deguello1. Metallica box arrived to me today in UK with free expedited shipping from FNAC. Well packaged (box within box) and in mint condition. Very happy!
Genesis BBC broadcasts 5cd is now €27 at Amazon.fr. With postage, that’s £27 to UK.
Received mine today!
Had to nibble at that price for the Who’s Next box. Thanks folks
Sorry, should have added that the 9 copies of Costello / Bacharach are at £45 again.
I ordered Who’s Next from Amazon.fr and then promptly cancelled it – the estimate of it being delivered on January 29 was a no-no. I got it from imusic now, they’re just 8€ more expensive and promised to deliver it until mid-December.
Just make sure you’re comfortable with their returns policy.
I read that returns have to be sent to their Denmark address at your own expense, and it’s a big box to send back!
This is true, as I found out to my cost last year. As a result I have two copies of the Let It Be box. It worked out cheaper to keep the second one, rather than pay the hefty courier fee to send it back. Amazon.fr won’t pay for the return.
The Who box comes very well packaged from the factory. There’s no way any damage will happen to it unless it’s run over by a bus.
I notice that the Who boxset has sold out on the U.K. Amazon site too. Could this be connected?
I got my next day delivery. I don’t expect it was posted from France. There was no sign on the tracking saying it had departed a warehouse in Europe. Arrived at Weybridge is all it said.
Bravo to Pierre for The Who deal. One of the all-timers, that one.
Mine was delivered earlier this evening (ordered 11pm yesterday from France, actually delivered from the Amazon warehouse about an hour from my house here in the uk)
Mine also delivered next day from within the UK.
9 copies of Costello and Bacharach back in Amazon UK.
Not a single one of these was available . . .
We seem to have cleared out the Who box sets in France, no longer available..
Also seems to be unavailable to purchase on the UK site too!
I had a box set lined up to buy, but by the time I figured out a way around the language barrier… it had gone. Now back to full price
Amazon’s Who’s Next bargain deal seems to be over (or sold out) now.
The Beach Boys – Sail on Sailor 6 CD even cheaper on Amazon.de, at this moment (07pm CET) it’s 49,99 Euro !
40 EUR (+ postage) at iMusic.dk.
I had to go for this. Expensive times.
Frank zappa Zappa / Erie [Coffret 6CD – Tirage Limité47,99 instead of 111 euro amazon france
There’s a small deal on Bob Dylan’s Complete Budokan boxset. It’s currently available for 138 $ on amazon.com. It’s even cheaper on Importcds, it’s “only” 108 $. But they don’t ship to Europe, apparently.
The who deal looks superb it’s a shame that chrome doesn’t translate French anymore unless I’m doing anything wrong but it doesn’t seem to work now ?, any help
I found the translate part up at the top doesn’t always come up, but if you’re on the web page and right click, “translate to English” comes up among the options.
Tried to do this on iPhone but doesn’t appear to work as defaults to the app based option, I’d like to be able to do this as it’s showing 1 purchase and it’s showing three pending payments for the same amount in my back account. Oh the joys of trying to get a bargain!.
I’ve figure it out where I’m going wrong here , if you have the application on your iPhone and you try to open this is the chrome browser it defaults back to the application so you cannot get an English translation. Close the app down or remove it temporarily and it works on the chrome app on the phone. Maybe helpful to others who are finding this a pain in the posterior. To translate pages which don’t automatically do this you click the three dots at the bottom and it’s there to translate. I’m getting on a bit so it’s small potatoes probably to the younger SDE fans.
I had some problems translating in the past so I wanted to give you a heads up to make sure you did not accidentally get a free month of Amazon prime, you will get a separate mail for that if did, but it’s a waste of money if you get charged the next month
They told me there had been a glitch on the system and it looks like I’ve been charged 4 times on my bank app, but they said rest assured you won’t get charged I mean ( fooled again ) fingers crossed!. Anyways that’s what the translation said , maybe I should go back to college or something !.
WOW! Got The Who bargain at Amazon.fr: 123€ total. Thanks, SDE!!!
Many thanks Paul for this “bargain” on Who’s next ! And for the other deals too (of course)
Amazon.fr prices for DSOTM and Wet Dream blu rays also quite interesting …
There are other offers on Amazon.fr. Gun‘s Roses Use your illusion CD Superdeluxe 135€. Queen – The Platinium Collection , the coloured Vinyls 90 €. U2 – Songs of Surrender 4 LP
Regarding Amazon.fr:
they have more than half the price on the “Use Your Illusion”-12 LP-boxset!
https://amzn.to/3G9hzbg
Now even down to 213,- EUR!
The Broadsword and the Beast has gone down considerably in price
Pierre and Paul, after a shocker of a week you have made my day, maybe even year, with the heads up on The Who box set. Christmas has come early! Thanks guys!
Ouchy ouch! Haven’t even played the ‘Oo’ box yet!! The one big offer I haven’t missed out on, can put in my basket, and for another couple of quid arrives tomorrow. Evens out with the other cool savings made here over the year.
Thanks, Pierre, for the deal on the Who’s Next / Lifehouse. Came to £108 incl one day shipping. I’ll thank my wife for the Christmas present when she wakes up later
Half price ‘oo. Showed the missus and its Happy Christmas to me!!! Many thanks to Pierre!
Thanks for the heads-up re The Who, Paul. Most appreciated. I knew I had to get this but getting it for under £110 definitely takes a lot of buyer’s remorse out of it!
And in turn let me offer my thanks to Pierre who flagged this earlier!
Would the text in the French boxset be obviously in French?
No, it will be in English. There is only one box and they’re identical worldwide.
Thank you.
Same old same old. I got a message that parcel was shipped and received mail with exact delivery day. 1 day before arrival the carrier contacted me and said that parcel was empty. They didn’t replace it and cancelled straight away. Same happened earlier when it was on sale on amazon.com
I have plenty of terrible experiences with them.
Thanks Paul, Finally the price was right for the Who box.
Just wanted to say thanks to whoever put up the heads up about the 99p Neil Young DVD as mine just arrived today. Bargain! :-)
Totally agree!
Happy to take my bow on this again! It’s really pleasing this has worked out for so many SDE readers.
ALERT!!! who’s next /lifehouse 10 cd’s box set :111euros , right now , on amazon.fr
Merci. Comes in at £106 shipped to UK.
Merci beaucoup ++!! Never thought I would be able to get it at this sort of price – just shows how it pays to keep an eye on the comments in the Current Deals page :)
Thanks a lot! Grabbed it! 123,76€ shipped to Spain. Great great deal!
Thanks Pierre. Wasn’t expecting the price to drop this low so soon.
I’ve been on an amazing journey with this box the past 10 days. It got to $237 and I ordered via Amazon, next day it drops to $199 and asked if I could get a price match. Nope gotta order at the lower price and return the first one. Ok I’m going to go with the program. Now with this deal it $143 US shipped… Yep, 3rd set coming and will be prepping for a second return. Thanks for the tip!
Awww man and mine has just turned up from the Polydor store @ £160 :(
I should learn to wait a bit more!
Thanks Pierre, 111 euro’s paid and free shipping, you made my day!
Great, great spot! Thanks chap.
GOT IT! Thank you so much, Pierre!!!
Thanks a lot for that managed to cancel my earlier pre order from Denmark (£130) which in itself was a great saving on Uk, but had to phone them up to do it as emails ain’t answered immediately. But still saved around £20 all told due to your great spot!.
The big Box of Who’s Next seems to be a big part on this years Black Friday Sales. pricedrops here and there.
Another one in Germany
Justforkicks.de is selling it 149 euros.
Amazon US has the Who Next box set down to $199.98 tempted to buy it now. Not sure if it’s gonna get much cheaper than that
There was a deal at the start of the month with Rarewaves UK for Dylan Springtime Box at £38.
Can i ask if anybody has received their copy yet? I got a shipping notification on November 3rd but no sign of it yet.
No tracking number showing on my account
It’s Rarewaves UK rather than US and they are usually ok.
They never send anything tracked as far as i’m aware of.
Seems to be cheaper for them to send stuff more than once if lost in the postal systems of the world than to pay for track & trace.
To their credit i can say that every time something i ordered from them didn’t appear on my doorstep within a reasonable time (in Germany i usually give them a month) they either sent out a replacement copy or refunded me pronto if the item wasn’t in stock anymore.
I ordered several items from Rarewaves UK in one order. They all apparently shipped on the same day but some arrived 2 weeks after the others, so i take their shipping notifications & delivery estimates with a pinch of salt.
Thanks guys for your comments. This morning I received a reply from Rarewaves customer services. Very customer focussed – telling me how important I am to them etc. Confirmed no tracking but they will send a replacement copy today anyway.
RareWaves are worth dealing with if you have patience. Some deliveries can take up to 2 weeks after shipping notification. Some don’t arrive BUT customer service is very good and a replacement is often sent in a couple of days.
I receive my 2LP ‘Another Budokan’ the day after its release same with some other orders. So like I said worth dealing with especially as their pricing can be the cheapest around otherwise shop around.
Thanks for the alert at that price I had to go for it been waiting for a while to see if it decreases as full price was out of my comfort zone but at £129 shipped to the UK that’s a really good price considering it’s £195 on Amazon at the Black Friday Deal a further £66 off. Never ordered from Denmark before but had to at that price alert. Thanks again.
Beach Boys Sail On Sailor 6CD is 39.99 euros on iMusic.Dk.
As someone else has said the Who’s Next box set is half price.
Lots of good deals there
Yeah, that was me, but somehow my comment won’t be approved anymore. What’s my mistake, Paul?
Besides, the Nirvana Nevermind 30th Anniversary SDE is available at around 41 Euros there.
Possibly because ‘Cellobene’ further down this thread had beaten you to it…
Not mentioned yet afaik but also a really good deal on imusic is the 8 cd box of Humble Pie’s A&M albums for around 40€. Prices seem to vary a bit depending on where you are.
Oh yeah, probably. Thanks for the info – hadn’t seen the first posting. Additionally, I accidentally wrote imusic.de as the link, which works, but actually it is imusic.dk…
Thanks for the tip for the Beach Boys! I’ve been waiting for a deal like this for a long time. Ordered immediately!
Nice! Thanks!
Thanks from me too, also been waiting for this one.
Thanks for the tip – A good selection of audiophile Jazz releases at good prices esp. from the ‘Verve By Request’ series such as Herbie Hancock ‘The New Standard’, Wayne Shorter ‘Footprints (Live)’ at c.40% off
Cheers for that. Also got Rory gallaghers deuce box for 33 euro, the sail on sailor box for 39.50, pj Harvey’s 3cd demos and b sides 10.49 and the 3 cd beach boys sounds of the summer 10.49
Amazon de are offering Roxy Music For Your Pleasure (vinyl) for 20 Euros, which is, by far, the cheapest I’ve ever seen it.
At Amazon.es the Cat Stevens superdeluxe boxset MONA BONE JAKON (2lp+book+4cd+blu-ray is only 54 euros.
New Order store has The Perfect Kiss 12″ on Crystal (clear) vinyl for £10.49 in their BF sale.
Recordstore has a Black Friday sale with 30% & 60% off. Some very good bargains in there.
https://recordstore.co.uk/collections/black-friday-sale
The official UK Polydor Records Store (no – I didn’t know there was one either) store.polydor.co.uk has a very impressive sale.
30% off by using the imaginatively titled code “30OFF”
They stock a limited number of artists with links to their label obviously, but The Who’s Next SDE is this biggest bargain coming in at £161 shipped after discount. Cheapest price I think I’ve seen in UK
I don’t think it’s been around that long. Foolishly I clicked on the link to the BF sale, saw the price at £229 and thought that’s not much of a bargain. Not thinking I needed to take the 30% off myself. I’ve been dithering about it but at that price might be worth getting.
Amazing spot. Thanks! Does anyone know what the customs charge will be when I get the box? I am in the UK. Cheers!
iansrose I’ve bought from imusic and there was no customs charge ( I’d bought sixty quids worth of stuff, IDK if that makes a difference) and p/p was under six quid
Wow, fantastic price
107.49 Euro (after VAT deduction) to Australia. Then I went to check out and delivery is 71.49 Euro – OUCH!!
Why does the damn thing need to be so heavy.
In reality a total of 178.98 Euro (AUD 298) is still a very good price given the starting price point.
Decisions, Decisions!
Not sure if these have been mentioned. I’ve just been browsing the top 100 chart on JPC and saw:
The Beach Boys Sail on Sailor SDE 6CD Euro 59.99
Rolling Stones GRR Live 3LP (White Vinyl) Euro 36.99
Who’s Next Lifehouse SDE Euro 199.99
Who’s Next 4LP Euro 49.99
Thanks from me too, that’s half – price !

I bought them both.
Zappa/ Erie 6CD Box Set 42,37 and The Mothers 1971 8CD Box Set 31,99 Euro on amazon.de. Frank Zappa live is always overprized but these are good offers.
Thanks! Just purchased the Zappa / Erie 6CD set.
Outstanding – thanks for the heads-up – Erie finally ordered
A few lowest prices on amazon.ca for a change – all CD sets; all CAD$:
Complete Studio Albums & Rarities by Stevie Nicks $93.97
Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975) by Joni Mitchell $61.40
Divine Symmetry by David Bowie $85.01 – this one is a prime exclusive
And while not the lowest price on the various amazon sites this one is pretty low too:
BBC Broadcasts by Genesis $58.72
Iggy Pop / The Bowie Years 7CD box at 34.50 € on fnac.com
Eric Clapton Definitive 24 Nights box sets up to -30% off in Amazon DE/ES/UK/USA. For example, in the US 6-CD+3Blu-Ray is 97$ and 8-LP+3 Blu-Ray 178$
In the US, there is also a 20% off coupon on top of the 30% off. So should be able to pick it up around $82…pretty hard to say no
U2 deal also over
It is back on as at 9am
The Amazon Uk exclusive crystal vinyl edition of Memento Mori by Depeche Mode is down to a more reasonable price of £36.54.
Not really a deal alert but sound of vinyl US has Abba Arrival Half Speed Remaster 45rpm double vinyl for $72 in stock (?) Discogs commands silly prices. Let’s see if it will be fulfilled.
It’s real. I got one recently. It was a bit battered and shrink torn so had obviously been kicking around a warehouse for a while, but genuine.
I also ordered Taylor Swift Reputation Black Vinyl (It’s usually seen only as Picture Disc which has ropey sound quality). This was clearly advertised (and still is advertised I think) as Black vinyl, but when it came, it turned out to be the usual picture disc. I queried it with their customer services and to be fair, they quickly confirmed mistake and promptly gave me a full refund including all postage, and didn’t ask for the picture disc to be returned.
Thanks for the info. Maybe they unearth some copies of The Album as well….
The Costello/Bacharach set deal is over. Must have been snapped up in a couple of minutes.
I looked this up minutes after receiving the deal alert and it was gone. I reckon Amazon sold one or two at the reduced price as part of their Black Friday offers.
Norah Jones Come Away With Me 3CD Deluxe Edition is 12.99€ at Amazon DE.
Currently £14.10 on Amazon UK.
Beatles Revolver Super Deluxe 5CD is £71 on Amazon DE

Just bagged myself Fragments from Amazon.de for just £75 exactly (£89 on Amazon UK) and it’s arriving tomorrow! What’s not to like!
The Songs Of Bacharach & Costello Super Deluxe Boxset has dropped to £44.99 over at Amazon UK.
Thanks Mike. What a great deal, added to this post
Sold out!
and, unsurprisingly, now sold out …
Ordered. Thanks for heads up. Coming Wednesday hope it’s honoured.
Think I may have got the last one at that great price. Cheers.
Mine arrived today . Perfect. Thanks Mike !
Bob Dylan the complete budokan is 140 euros on Amazon Belgium, 130 euro with a black friday coupon of 10 euros.
A bargain deal in amazon Germany Mark knopfler box set 2009-2018 6 CD at 30 €
Popped into Morrisons supermarket on way home tonight and was surprised to see piles of “Now & Then” – CD and Black Vinyl versions. My local Morrison has always kept a very modest CD section but never seen CD singles or vinyl there before.
My local WH Smiths has just started selling vinyl albums. No surprises there, just the usual names; Beatles, Queen, Floyd, whatever… all at full price. Wonder why?
The Sound of Vinyl US has the “FREE” vinyl promo going on again (“just pay shipping”). Last time you had to checkout one at a time and pay $8 shipping. This time, the more you order at once, the lower the shipping. I put 2 in my cart and shipping was $25, but for 3, it was $33…so it went down the more you have in your cart. I got 40th Anniver Rush Moving Pictures, Wings Wild Life, and Stones Emotional Rescue.
Thanks for the heads-up. Took advantage of this last time. Shipping is higher now. Was $8 for single LP and $11 for double LPs last time. I see it is $14 for a single LP now. Bummer.
I got Southern Accents and Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty and Venus and MArs and Chaos and Creation by Macca for $40 shipping!!!
I got Sinatra double vinyl Ultimate Christmas, Sinatra Watertown and Bing Crosby Christmas. It’s the season!!!
to be jelly.
I posted about this a week ago, but not sure what happened. I never saw it after it was screened. I bought Tom Petty, McCartney, Stones and Sinatra for the bit overpriced cost of shipping,
Mr. Paul does occasionally sleep you know, WD, and maybe not exactly when you do.
Just ordered the Haircut 100 4lp set for £34, what a steal!
Wow! Ordered – thanks Gary!
Mine’s just arrived. Great package. Absolute snip!
Who’s Next SDE is down to $200 on Amazon US.
Cheers for the alert Paul, Who box set is on it’s way
Teaser and the Firecat (the expensive) 50th anniversary vinyl edition. Using the SDE widget, there are 10 copies showing on Amazon.com at £83 and they deliver to UK! With delivery and VAT added this comes to £100 – best price I’ve seen to date.
Must ask – what’s this “SDE widget” of which you speak?!?
Use the search box above for Teaser and the Firecat, it will take you to the original SDE page. There you’ll see the list of prices as usual, except they are nearly always (in my experience) up to date. The Amazon.com price is listed as the cheapest. Click on it in the normal way to be taken straight to the offer.
I see the price is now £107, and a different trader. Still good I guess.
The SDE widget
For fans of the Coop; as well as the reduction in the School’s Out 3LP mentioned, the 3LP edition of Killer is also reduced, currently at £45 on Amazon UK.
I read that as Co-op. I thought maybe they’ve picked up where Sainsbury’s left off?
I also saw Co-op
Me too. Must be our age.
I too saw Julian Cope. He was in Sainsbury’s buying pants.
I did the same, probably an age thing.
Red and Blue vinyl available again from BEATLES STORE UK, as of 19.30hrs, 14/11/2023.
The Beatles 12″ is available from HMV again (black one – not red)
I got the Smash Blu-ray set cheap with a 10% discount from Rarewaves for £33.58, so this is £2.58 cheaper.
Patience has been rewarded. Just bagged Neil Young Official Release Series 22,23,24,25 vinyl box for £118 at Amazon UK.
Contains Freedom, Ragged Glory (expanded),Weld and Arc. Originally around £50 more. Still available!
It’s €106 on Amazon DE at the minute.
The Who’s next box has finally dipped under the £200 mark. Currently £195.49 on Amazon (UK)
197€ on Amazon France but only for those living there as it is shipped by Amazon UK, otherwise 204€ for anyone and shipped by Amazon France.
You have to look for it under other available sellers.
Either way a better price than UK’s Amazon
So Amzon UK can ship overseas for £25 less than they sell to UK customers? What’s that all about?
It’s not that difficult to understand. Each Amazon country site is treated as a separate entity stock-wise. Often hubs will hold stock of items that are on the books of other Amazon sites so items may be physically located in the UK but legally/financially they aren’t & can’t be sold via the UK site (& Amazon.uk staff would have no visibility of this stock on their systems as its on the inventory of a different Amazon country site). Similarly i have received quite a few items ordered on Amazon.fr & Amazon.de that actually shipped from one of the Amazon hubs in Scotland.
2-Tone movie Dance Craze BD/DVD is now down to £9.99 at amazon UK, same price at HMV
Fragments – Time Out Od Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol. 17 4 LP in amazon Spain at 62 €
Some decent reductions on Amazon UK under today’s deals. Who box set £195.49. Reductions on half speed master and Wembley Blu-ray. Pretenders £7.99 and pretty good deal on Gerry Rafferty half speed master vinyl.
And many more!!
Only two left of which I purchased one! Tom Petty’s Live at the Fillmore 6LP set at Amazon UK for £89.99!
The Beach Boys sail on sailor box in Germany JPC.de for eur 60,-
lowest price so far.
Great spot thank you. I’ve been waiting for this to go to a sensible price for what feels like forever.
Thanks a lot , it’s a good price . Ordered !!!
Thanks Jack.
Ordering to the UK knocks off the German tax (presumably), as it ends up at €50, before postage.
Thanks Jack – got one. This has been a long term resident on my wish list. It’s been an expensive weekend – bought a Last Night from Glasgow subscription, took advantage of the Rarewaves and eBay discounts, and bought the Who’s Next box. Operation Stealth currently being planned for when all the packages arrive.
Thanks Jack. Ordered at about £52 all in. That’s a good price!
Looks like a great deal. Anyone ordered from this site before and know if you’re likely to get hit by VAT/import duties, or is this all in? Thanks
Ordered many times from Jpc.de – very reliable. Good packaging.
Value is well below the limit for VAT/import duties so providing you aren’t buying as part of a much bigger order, then there should be no extra cost
You can look it up on the bottom of the site under shipping
Thanks Jack. Been waiting a year for this to drop. Time to pull the trigger.
Rarewaves have another “10% off if you spend £20” offer until midnight tomorrow Sunday. As per, the things I would go for (eg Joni’s Archives 3) are “sold out”.
The Who ‘Who’s Next’ box set is currently at 159,99€ on Bravado.de. I guess this is the lowest price I’ve seen.
Guns n Roses Use your illusion 8 cd box for the same price
Teardrops Explodes Culture Bunker Cd Box Set for 49,99 Euro
Thanks, ordered the GR box
Excuse my ignorance, but does anybody know what customs charges I might incur if I ordered the Who’s next box from here for delivery to the UK?
20% extra on item and shipping plus likely an £11 admin fee.
Thanks, Paul. Looks like I’ll have to wait for a wee bit longer until I can get my hands on a copy of this long awaited set!
159.99 Euros is close to the acceptable limit and depending on the exchange rate on a given day it may well go under it, so some may be tempted. However, Bravado.de charge 14.75 euros to ship to UK and this is included in the taxable total so this definitely puts it over, so the charges as Paul stated will apply.
I notice that Bravado don’t reduce the tax on UK orders like others do (ie JPc, Amazon) . So in effect, you are paying taxes to both Germany and UK
The Who “Who’s next / Lifehouse” 10 CD box set down to €159.99 at Bravado.de
https://www.bravado.de/p51-i0602435873077/the-who/who-s-next-i-life-house/index.html
Thanks, a price I can live with so I just ordered one! Been on a massive The Who kick lately and reading Richie Unterberger’s book on the Lifehouse project at the moment. So a nice combo.
Now John Lennon Gimme Some Truth. (Ltd. 4LP Box) €59,99 at Amazon.de

Hi,
Ultravox – Quartet Super Deluxe 4LP only 15€ Amazon.fr
thanks @darek ! Nice deal :)
Wow, that’s a bargain. I’ve ordered a copy – but my expectations of my order being fulfilled aren’t high as it’s being sold by Rarewaves.
Insane price for a 4LP set. Order confirmed. Will see if it gets shipped…..
My order already shipped.
Rarewaves, via Amazon France!
Top spot Darek….just had message to say mine has been shipped!
Anyone received this yet? I’m perhaps a bit premature, but I can’t help noticing there’s no tracking, so I am a bit concerned if it’ll turn up or not…
My copy finally arrived this morning and it is the 4LP clear vinyl edition.
Like you I was beginning to wonder if it would ever arrive but – having just checked the despatch notification (which I received on 9th November), the delivery estimate was 18th November to 6th December so it’s actually a day early.
Mine also arrived today, 4LP SDE. What a great deal at 17€ incl. postage. Thanks again Darek!
My copy arrived this afternoon….tres bon!
Ultravox – Vienna (40Th Anniversary)( Half Speed Master) (Deluxe Edition) (2 LP-Vinilo) in amazon Spain Rarewaves at 15 €
Check your order carefully on this one if ordering from the UK. It shows the 14.98 euro price against the item, but when I go to checkout the price automatically changes to 44.40 euro. Not been able to find a way around it yet.
It seems that the bargain is over. Bad luck :(
The Billy Bragg Roaring Forties 14CD box set down to £112 on Amazon UK – best price I’ve seen
And Brian May Star Fleet box is down to £69, although still waiting for bigger drops as we have seen before with the Gold Series!
Signed copies are available again from his website at £120, which seems pretty reasonable against the unsigned Amazon price I think; BUT, and it’s a big BUT, you then get to the bit which says “Please note that due to the weight being just over 2kg this item can only be shipped by Royal Mail Parcel Force, approx cost UK is £32.10”, bringing the total to £152.10. Surely there must be a better value shipping method which doesn’t amount to 25% of the price of the set itself? The music content looks really interesting though …
Yes, for £120 signed I might have gone for it, but when I saw the shipping, no way!
yes royal mail medium up to 5kg 48hr tracked £6.49 cheaper if a businesses i expect with discount for volume
Bacharach & Costello is back up to $140.
Been eying the Elvis/Burt forever. Thanks,Paul!
Gene Clark – No Other Deluxe Boxset currently £99 on Amazon UK

Sadly gone already. I have been after this for ages.
Elton John -Madman Across The Water deluxe set now around £23 on Amazon UK.
Cheers ordered
Thanks to whoever gave us the Neil Young DVD 99p tip , just arrived, lol, best deal ever
It was out of stock but you can order it now again
https://amzn.to/3QN0XeH
Thanks for the heads-up pethead
You’re welcome!
Missed it the first time but managed to score one of the DVDs myself, it’s told me there’s one coming in the next couple of weeks. Result!
The Beatles Revolver 4-LP vinyl set $104 at Amazon US.. Last time it went this low, it didn’t stay there very long.
I am still holding out for a significantly lower price. It happened with Let It Be, so I hope the same will happen for Revolver.
Probably a good strategy. Unfortunately, that price that I posted earlier must have only lasted a few hours.
Regarding that RareWaves US offer for the Who’s Next big box for approx £45. After the 1st shipped box never arrived I contacted them and they supposedly sent a 2nd box. After 3 weeks and no delivery I again contacted them asking why did they B.S. about sending anything, I got no reply, messaged them again and still no reply then eBay contacted me saying I’d been refunded. What a bunch of time wasting cowboys, they are in the US!
Agreed. Mine was a similar experience, although I was refunded as soon as I reported to Ebay that the delivery date had been missed first time round. I don’t think they ever had any of the box sets for sale at the price advertised (unless anyone has actually received one from Rarewaves US at around the £45 mark), so what they hoped to achieve, I do not know. I got a full refund, but what a waste of time!
Same for me, they even provided a tracking number that didn’t work, I assumed that someone noticed the error and pulled it from the outgoing mail before it left the warehouse
Just to even the record a little bit, I was one of the lucky ones to receive the Who’s Next: Lifehouse box set from Rarewaves on e-Bay for $55.81. I was sent a tracking number and the package arrived in about 2 weeks.
It’s great to hear that SOMEBODY actually got the deal! Are you U.S. based? Maybe they pulled the plug on overseas sales (I’m in the U.K.).
But why all the B.S. – I was given a quick refund when I enquired, an apology and told they were aware of delays in the postal system. Never the same story twice it seems.
Yes, I am U.S. based. I placed my order on September 11 and the box set was delivered on September 21. Remarkably good fortune.
A bit off topic:
I’ve received an email from WMG today where they told me that the replacement discs for Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Smash’ SDE are about to be mailed to everyone who asked for them.
what was wrong with this set. I have and didn’t noticed anything?
The video for Being Boring is the censored US version and has no picture at the beginning.
https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/pet-shop-boys-offer-to-replace-smash-blu-ray-disc/
The Being Boring video was a censored version.
I received this email as well. Nice to finally see some movement on this. Let’s see what happens going forward.
Ahh, see what’s going on. Unfortunately the programm is ended so if someone got two copies I’m open for sale.
Bob Dylan springtime in New York 5cd box set 38 pounds on rarewaves uk.
Eric Clapton: Nothing But the Blues (1995) 2022 SDE 2LP, 2CD + Blu-Ray $55 on AMZ US (76% off $230 list price)

Revolver Super Deluxe is on Amazon US right now for $90.
Been waiting for a long time for a significant price drop, and although this is still a little more than I wanted to pay for it – I finally took the plunge. Thanks for the heads up.
The deluxe 2 LP/4 CD version of The Songs of Bacharach & Costello is $73.14 at Amazon (U.S).
Great deal, 59% off. I’m being offered an additional 5% off coupon as well so $69.50 vs the $180 list price.
Thanks. It finally got to the price where I was willing to get it. It dipped down close to this price a few weeks back, but wasn’t quite there.
It was way overpriced upon release, this is much closer to reasonable. Thanks for the heads up @Old School – finally purchased.
For OMD fans , the group offers on its site a deluxe digital version of his latest album for 7.95 € , only available until thursday 2/11/2023 at 23h59. There is 29 tracks so the album + the instrumental album version + 3 B-sides + 2 remixes .
Take it before it disappears . Enjoy.
It’s only £5 if you are on their mailing list.
thanks ordered
Not a huge deal and a frustrating release (on the basis that the digital version came packaged with a live album while the CD had just a handful of extras) but the Chemical Brothers Dig Your Own Hole 25th anniversary 2CD is £9.99 on Amazon UK.
Beach Boys Sail On Sailor 1972 currently cheap(er) at amazon.fr :
6CD : £87,21 / €103,73 (amazon UK £ 162,93 !)
5LP+7″ : £43,51 / € 51,70 (amazon UK £ 112,92 !)
6CD also cheapish at amazon.com : $ 113,07
Thanks Gerbrand. I ordered then cancelled as looking more closely, a lot of the discs are live stuff, which I tend to find less interesting than the studio stuff. I’ve got others like Feel Flows in the box, but suddenly feel like waiting until this too is about £60 for the big box. How does anyone who has it rate it (for the extra stuff, I know the albums are great). Thanks
There’s a review on this very site (and you might also check the one on allmusic) :
https://superdeluxeedition.com/reviews/the-beach-boys-sail-on-sailor-1972/
I’m also (still) waiting for the price going down more ;-)
The Dance Craze 3CD set is on Amazon UK for £12.99. Was £19.99. Bargain!
Some good deals at the Rough Trade Store on Ebay UK at moment. Some old box sets are heavily discounted but there is an additional 20% off the discounted price if you use Ebay code SPOOKY20
I just got a couple of Depeche Mode 12″ boxes for £30, Springsteen River CD/Blu ray box for £29, and Dylan 1966 36CD box for £36
I also noticed Thin Lizzy Live & Dangerous works out at £63 and Stones Hackney box at £40
Free post on all
Brilliant spot.
That Heads Under Sided box is great and an absolute steal at that price!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394741243306?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EAZpomd-QwW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_fHyQAz6Tza&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thanks for this, I went for the Dylan boxset at that price as well.
I notice that since my first post, Rough Trade have increased the base prices for some items this morning (Depeche boxes & Dylan). The Dylan box now works out at £41 – still a bargain
There also some new bargains this morning – or I missed them yesterday. For example -Springsteen on Broadway 4LP set works out at £24. Debbie Harry Koo Koo Clear Vinyl double works out at £34, Depeche Mode Broken Frame 12″ singes box £24
Didn’t work for me but I’m not UK based.
The on-again-off-again 10% off sale at Rarewaves has been flicked back into the on position, it also applies to SALE stock so there are some real bargains to be had.
I cancelled 4 preorders and reordered them again, saved £15+
Bah! Most of the stuff I would’ve got was all sold out :(
Rarewaves have a 10% off everything over £20, using code RWOCT10. So just picked up the rather excellent Midge Ure The Gift 4CD for £19.74, free post.
Not a deal as such, but in case you may have missed it, Depeche Mode are releasing a 12″ of Ghosts Again. Seems to only be available from certain places, including their store and part of a series for Memento Mori. Do you buy these or wait for the inevitable MM box set of 12″ singles…decisions, decisions. https://depechemodeuk.store/products/ghosts-again-remixes-12-single-vinyl
Blondie Against The Odds 8CD currently $68 on US Amazon. Dunno if that will last, as it’s the same figure as on Amazon UK but dollars instead of pounds & the seller on US is importing
Here’s an interesting one. Perhaps in error, Amazon UK are selling the replacement DVD from the Neil Young Harvest 50th box set for 99p. Search for Neil Young 1971 DVD and there it is. I ordered yesterday and happy to report it arrived today.
lol, pretty random! how did you come across that! Just ordered , thanks Northern Sky
Thanks for the tip.
I have the CD/DVD Box Set and never got around to sending for a replacement so for the sake of 99p it saves a lot of hassle. I’m suspecting too many replacements where ordered or lots of people like me never bothered sending for a replacement. So thanks N.Sky.
Great spot NS. I waited a month for greedy hand to send my replacement disc, would have happily coughed up 99p for next day delivery.
struggling to find it – could someone share a link?
I guess it’s sold out by now.
You can still order, just showing 1-2 month dispatch time. Worth a punt for 99p
This is the link

I think they’ve all gone now. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone bought a load and will probably stick them on eBay :-(
Nick Lowe’s “Brentford Trilogy” set (“The Impossible Bird, “Dig My Mood” and “The Convincer”) available for £3.54 on Rarewaves…
Sold out now… but available from Amazon for £5.04 so still great value.
As Lowe (haha) as £4.25 on Ebay (new and sealed).
I’m not massively familiar with his solo stuff (although I did see him live with Ry Cooder a few years ago) but three highly regarded albums for that price is definitely worth a punt.
Thanks, bought by ebay way,.
Only 5 tracks into the first disc and this is wonderful. Does anyone else often want to slap themselves for not checking out someone sooner? This is Richard Thompson all over again – I’ve got some catching up to do.
Joni Mitchell Archives Vol 3 is £61 on Rarewaves today (25 Oct)
A few decent prices I noticed on Amazon UK
Tom Petty Fillmore East 4CD set is £41
Queen – News Of The World 3CD/DVD Super Deluxe is £66
Dylan Mono Recordings 8CD is back to £50
The Art of McCartney Deluxe Boxset £50.00
https://recordstore.co.uk/products/the-art-of-mccartney-exclusive-deluxe-cd-box-set
Thanks, Stevie B, for the tip and the link. Nabbed it!
The Art of McCartney deluxe CD/USB/DVD/Vinyl/Book and artworks is £50.00 on RECORDSTORE ordered it two days ago thinking it was a mistake and I’d end up with just the triple CD.
Currently on Amazon UK:
Paul Simon – Still Crazy….Vinyl ALBUM – £11.35
Bruce Springsteen – Human Touch (2 Disc) Vinyl – £11.75
I used the £5 off if you spend £15 voucher on the Joni Mitchell box and have just been offered the same deal by Amazon Italy. Still worth checking this out throughout Europe.
Amazon US has the “Who’s Next | Life House” CD boxed set for $183 after 20% discount.
I bought the standard 4 CD John Hughes set when it was first released and it has been a constant presence in my CD player. Fantastic compilation and triggers great memories of specific scenes in his films. Not sure if the standard edition still available but well worth £30.
Amazon US seems to have Tears for Fears Songs From Big Chair 6 cd Deluxe for $79. 6 copies available with more to come. Also Rolling Stones Steel Wheels live 3 cd 2 dvd 1 blu ray for $37 and Tina Turner Foreign Affair deluxe also $37.
Joni Mitchell archives 1 cd box set is on rarewaves uk for 31.70 pounds. In the last couple of weeks it’s been as high as 70-80 pounds.
Top spot, Georgec!
Although I could do without Archives 1 for this price I had to get it especially as it completes the set up to now. Thanks georgec.
Rarewaves are having some excellent deals, if only I could find my way around their site.
Agreed. I queried with them some time ago as to whether it’s possible to search for all the deals on their website, but it appears it isn’t. You can search under ‘Music Offers’ but it’s a fairly limited selection. Unless anyone else knows of a way…
There’s a search box, what more do you need ;)
One that works.
Exactly. Plus there is a huge list of stuff that I would consider buying if it is a good price, but I don’t specifically need them.
I buy so many records and CDs because someone lists them here and they appeal to me, rather than me actively wanting them.
“Life Moves Pretty Fast” is even cheaper on rarewaves, £59 for the headline 4CD + 7″ edition. If you don’t mind waiting a few extra days, all the formats are cheaper on there than Amazon…and have been for a while!
Many thanks Richard S just snagged myself a bargain on Rarewaves “Life moves pretty fast” for a smidge over £19. Result! Good strong name by the way.
Demon having a clearout then! A couple of Gary Crowley-compiled sets have money off too.
