Deal alert / The Man Who Fell To Earth
Stunning price today in the UK for the four-disc box set of the soundtrack to Nic Reog’s 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth.
The music was by Stomu Yamashta and John Phillips and is included on two CDs and two vinyl LPs. The box also contains a pretty decent hardcover book with text and evocative images about the making of the film and a facsimile edition of the original poster. This set is less than £20 right now!!

Snagged one of these, what a deal! Thanks Paul. As fate would have it, Amazon shipped it without any packaging, just a shipping label pasted onto David’s face, and the beautiful set is in tatters. Amazon offers no option to replace it, just the option to return it for a refund of my £16, and I’m assuming I’d have to buy a replacement at the current price of £50. Or am I missing something? What does one do in these situations?
I missed out on this – shame – and it seems to be sold out at the Great Offer website.
It’s £100.99 on HMV’s website, lol!
Ordered it – couldn’t resist at that price, although I’m not sure I’m bothered about the soundtrack, the book looks terriffic.
(BTW I meant that I ordered it shortly after Paul psoted.)
Hopefully they find a few more copies lying around… also missed it due to time difference. What an amazing bargain – thanks Paul and well done to those who caught it!
Thanks for pointing this bargain out Paul. The box has just arrived and it really feels like i’ve ripped Amazon off. £20?….wow.
back up at £19.94
Thank you Paul. I wanted this set but resisted before due to the price, today, however, I had to get it. I feel lucky I waited.
Only just saw this and all gone :(
Time difference is a killer
all gone at that price :-(
Indeed. Although it stayed at that price for ages, which was good.
Still only 15.99 + 3.95 postage from Universal’s various websites.
Thought buying the 2CD for a fiver was a bargain!
Purchased this from Universal along with signed CDs by Elkie Brooks, Gregory Porter (£5 each) and Lucie Silvas (£2.99!).
Thanks Paul.
Great deal!
Price shipped to Canada is $35.97 Canadian! Excellent!

Thanks for the shout re the Great Offer store I got the Bowie Box £15.95 R.E.M. Out of Time Super Deluxe with Blu Ray Audio £20 Pet Shop Boys Elysium 2 CD Deluxe £1.99 and 2 pairs of Beats Headphones for £50 each!! Present for the wife and present for me!!
Thanks Paul, ordered!
Thanks Paul, the new Christmas Angel…….!! (Although my postman would no doubt think otherwise due to the number of bargains this site makes him subsequently deliver) Nice one…….
Brilliant. It is marginally cheaper than the standard vinyl edition now! Thank you, SDE
Yes. I saw it at 17.99€ on Universal site but P&P to France (and continental Europe in general I guess) is 14.15€ so a total of 32.14€
With Amazon UK, it’s 27.59€ P&P included. With Amazon FR it’s 89.99€…
Stunning deal Paul thanks. Teamed it with the Buckingham/McVie album for a fiver to get free postage. Phil Collins box set now down to £11 too.
Once again thanks for the heads up Paul ! cheers
I must have been a very,VERY good boy this year judging by all the Christmas presents i’ve seen heading to my house in the past week or so!
Thanks again Paul. Couldn’t pass up on it this time.
Ordered! Thanks for the info, this is an amazing bargain!!
Wow. Glad I procrastinated so long in this. Ordered! Thanks for the alert.
Thanks Paul , got it !
£15.99 (+p&p) on Universal Great Offer site.
Excellent deal, grabbed it from your Twitter post, cheers.
Cheers. Thought it was deserving of a full ‘deal alert’ post!
Many thanks Paul another Christmas present too me!
Presents to yourself are always the best kind ;)
Damn, thought I had a bargain at £40 in the summer with that deal alert. This is a pretty good deal for those who haven’t already jumped all over it.
Ordered. Superb bargain
