A review left on Amazon US on August 7th:
“On it’s first day of release, this boxed set is available for $99.99 at Sony’s Pop Market website. At PM, shipping is free and there is NO CA sales tax! If this boxed set is like most other Sony releases, it was probably pressed by United Record Pressing, so it will be sub-audiophile. When you get your copy, look for the kosher “U” in the trail-off. At least from the pictures provided by Sony, they used the correct vintage labels which were on the original LP’s.
For most of S&G’s LP’s, they were pressed on a heavy grade of vinyl. The best one’s were pressed on virgin vinyl at Columbia’s Santa Maria plant. Look for those for a true “audiophile” experience.”
Currently (07/17/2015) listed on Amazon US for $119.99 but that’s $24.48 more than Amazon Germany ($95.51 including shipping).
Thanks, Paul! I’ll give it a try.
Hello Ben
I have ordered many a time from amazon. de and amazon.it.
It’s really easy to get used to after a while, and, you get some great deals.
Thanks Paul, I had it ordered on .co.uk but now switched to de!
Hello,
This is a great offer and I want to go for it but obviously the website is in German – does anyone know a way round it to put the website in English?
Thanks!
Ben

I’m in New York City and had this on pre-order from Amazon UK for £114.74/€164.49/$178.67 (including shipping) but thought it a bit pricey and cancelled just this morning. Literally TWO MINUTES later, SuperDeluxeEdition comes through with the “Deal Alert” for Amazon Germany which drops the price to £61.32/€87.93/$95.51, an incredible savings of £53.42/€76.56/$83.16! Re-0rdered and THANK YOU!
Timing is everything… :)
Indeed it is. Additionally, I just picked up the Japan CD boxset currently on sale (23% off) on Amazon Japan for £75.19/€108.30/$117.56 (including shipping to the USA). I’m done. ;)
Many thanks. Just saved me a lot of money.
Got it for EUR 84 during the Amazon Prime Day Sale. Eur 95 including shipping to India…
