Did anybody get this ? its now £53 30 mins after Paul’s email dropped??
I managed to it said there were 13 left. Must have gone pretty quick
Hi Paul, I’ve always been aware of Captain Beefheart but never tried listening. Bought this box set last week after seeing it on your site and am well chuffed I took the plunge. Currently £75 on the Rough Trade site so feeling very pleased. Thanks for keeping us all posted on the deals, much appreciated.

Got it this time at £21.99!
Had a finger poised on the ‘buy’ button for the Rammstein vinyl box set for ages, cramp setting in now
I purchased this the last time it went on deal. So far I’ve only listened to the first album (“Lick My Decals Off, Baby” but everything sounded fine. Good quality pressing, good mastering.
Rats – it’s £44 now. What a bargain it briefly was………………………
Superb
Thank you very well found
Once again thanks Paul for the heads up 30 US shipped.. can anyone comment on the vinyl quality weight, mastering etc ?
Importcds.com has the CD version for $31 (dollars!) I snatched that up!
Got the cds boxset at the time of the release it was à great bargain
Tremendous deal – £52 now.
Anybody diving in for The Complete Chris Bell vinyl box set? It’s £65.99 now on amazon uk, 40% off. Pull the trigger? or wait? It is a very expensive box.
Although I was too late for this deal, I ended up finding superb deals for two other boxes I have been looking to get, the Verve’s Urban Hymns vinyl box and Dylan’s Trouble No More vinyl box, at great prices.
£33 for urban hymns 6LP. That’s A very good trigger point. Thank you for the excellent tip.
Seems to be gone. Curse the time difference (I’m in Australia). I should never go to sleep.
Just ordered on Amazon UK and then had an email saying expected Delivery date 31 Jan to 15 Feb so I checked my order on My Amazon Account and it’s arriving 2 days short of a month..the longest I’m gonna wait for A Super Deluxe Edition Website Amazon Deal..even though I’m a prime member..hope they change the delivery date to a nearer date.. great price..as the CD box set is £53 pound new.
That’s a stupendous price.
Makes you wonder what the profit margins are like for people selling single albums at much the same price.
Hello. Some fairly negative comments on Amazon about the sound quality. I know it’s a bargain, but does anyone know how good/bad it really sounds?
I bought the thing anyway… So much for the New Year’s Resolution!
Paul, do you know whether the bonus tracks are exclusive to this release?
In for 1. $30 shipped, or roughly the price of a single LP in at a brick and mortar here. Thanks Paul.
Cheers for the heads up Paul, just ordered a copy. x
thanks man for the heads-up
Thanks for the heads up on this, terrific value.

Thanks Paul. Great deal. That’s made me feel better after some of the rubbish stated about the Roxy performances and the forthcoming release.
Ordered, thanks Paul!
