Deal alert / The Rolling Stones Blue & Lonesome deluxe box edition
Great time to grab the snazzy deluxe box set edition of The Rolling Stones’ 2016 album Blue & Lonesome, since it’s available at a great price right now in the UK.
No bonus tracks and probably not worth the £25 original price, but with a 75-page mini-book and postcard prints and smart outer box, this set is an excellent buy at less than £9 via Amazon UK.

But, there were no problems with ordering this one from amazon.fr during their Christmas sale…..
Tried to grab this deal but amazon Uk won’t ship this to US.
This was available in the amazon france cd sale after Christmas. When all was said and done (deal +shipping costs) it worked out at 6 euro for me.
From 47 quid to 7 quid. How the mighty fall/fail*
* delete as appropriate.
n/b: It’s a VERY disappointing album, anyway. Brought to life on two tracks only – by a decent blues guitarist.
It’s a good deal IF you like the music, personally I found it very over-rated myself and sold it on eBay… I like the Stones but this release didn’t work for me. I don’t think it was produced very well either. They basically made an album out of extended rehearsals as I understand it.
Totally agree. I’ve only listened on Spotify, but the stereo mix was so bad that I had to switch to mono.
For those wanting to ship to USA/Canada/etc, does selecting “Amazon” itself from the Other Sellers (rather than using a third party seller) solve the issue?
… or check prices through third parties at your own Amazon?
Won’t ship to Canada, either…
They’re pretemding that it’s supplied by a third party “fulfilled by Amazon”
Interesting that Amazon will not ship this item to the USA. Why?
