Deal alert / Grace Jones: Disco 4LP
The highly anticipated Grace Jones Disco set which compiles the albums Fame, Portfolio and Muse – with bonus tracks – is released in a week’s time. The 4LP version is significantly more expensive than the 3CD or blu-ray audio options but you can save almost £20 on the vinyl box by pre-ordering now at Amazon Italy
The Italians have currently priced this at €67 which equates to just under £48 (or $73) Compare this to the UK price of £67 (or the US price of $135!). Shipping to the UK is a highly reasonable £3.50.

I have sent Universal an email regarding the missing “Portfolio” interior artwork as follows: Grace Jones / Disco Years / CD Box Set / Product Code 5354648. The gatefold jacket for the “Portfolio” album does not contain the original interior artwork. It is simply black. The gatefolds for both of the other albums in the set “Fame” and “Muse” are beautifully reproduced exactly as the originals were. Will USM make replacement jackets available for the “Portfolio” CD with the correct interior artwork for customers who have bought the set?
Why does it “demand to be heard on vinyl” at three times the CD price no less?!
This demands to be heard on vinyl. For those of in the U.S.A.: €55,12 + €19,78 (shipping) = €74,90/$84.53/£55.64. A savings of $50.46 off the current Amazon US price of $134.99. Thanks, Paul!
Mmm sorely tempted…
