Well…… one reason I don’t buy vinyl from aboard is the risk of damage. But went for the Amazon deal anyway. Bought 2 LPs and they kindly delivered to my house without me knowing, No delivery card/location given. Found them by accident left behind my dustbins in the stormy/wet weather so both are ruined!! now I have to go through returns process at my expense, very poor service!
Looks like it’s the rolling stones song for the the French Amazon vinyl deals ‘its all over now’ just the same old ones that are left school well good while it lasted Paul thanks mate
While we’re on the subject of bargains. My long awaited Police box set turned up today. I think the phrase is “Back of the net” :)
Mine too, I’d almost given up hope – and don’t they sound superb :)
Perhaps this half-speed mastering thing does deliver real improvements after all!!
Mine turned up as well, not bad for a speculative punt at £93 with a Delivery date of “2 to 3 months”. I know it was a bit cheaper when the release was first mentioned but you never know at that point whether £90 is a great price or will it be a £60 SDE Deal Alert in a couple of weeks. Well looking at the current Amazon Price of £193 and a couple of days ago at £200 it was a steal. So all in all if anyone can snag a copy for under £140 it’ll be worth it. It sounds absolutely superb.
As did my box: I checked the Amazon site for it just out of interest and it’s gone up by £100 so back of the next times two at least!
Back in Blighty if anyone has any money left after feasting on this offer What Records have been refreshing their deals as well. They are still undercutting Amazon by over £60 on the Bowie Who Can I be Now boxset and have loads of albums in the £8 to £10 range.
are what records reliable ?
i’ve read a few comments where items seem to be out of stock a lot ?
Always been fine with me although they do leave out of stock items on their website for months and even years. Thus with offers its like ” this is what you could have won.” Also postage is more expensive than Amazon although you can order multiple items with a maximum p&p charge of £8.
ok thanks
had a look ,a few bits I’d like but Amazon France has cleaned me out
for now
maybe a destination for me in the near future then
Never had a problem with them always delivered and for me 100% reliable
I think they advertise items they don’t have in stock
leading to long wait times. Nice people but i get the impression
they can’t keep up with demand.
What Andrew R says – despite how it may appear on their website, What Records don’t have ALL the items in stock and to hand.
I know this from experience. I placed an order for 7 albums from them in January. Five LPs turned up fairly quickly – still waiting on the other two….
But it hasn’t put me off ordering from them (so far) – all my dealings with them have been very civil, and I’m confident they’ll either deliver or refund.
As Andrew R also said – I think they just can’t keep up with the demand.
Steven / Andrew. That’s just my experience. As the saying goes “Your mileage may differ”.
I spoke to Tim last week and maybe Paul has noticed this too, last year companies over produced Vinyl leading to (eventually) a lot of bargains to be had, “Limited” runs of 10,000 are not going to sell out at full price so it would seem that this year they have pulled back too far and many items are selling out before launch. So the answer (as always) is somewhere in the middle. Personally, unless you are the Beatles or another big hitter a limited run shouldn’t be anywhere above 2,000 and you can plainly see with the MOV collected series the original coloured run when the Vinyl series was launched was 500 to 1,500 (Level 42 / UB40 / Robert Palmer etc) and now it is routinely 2,500 or in some cases 4,000 (Carpenters / Status Quo etc) which is daft. Last years flood could be followed by this years drought.
interesting ,thanks
Competitive pricing always sucks me in so I may well give them a go at some point
Andrew R.
No, they don’t. I have been using WHAT records since 2013 on a very regular basis and am rather fond of them. They do however do what every other seller does and advertise upcoming releases so if you order something now that isn’t released until May you aren’t going to get it until May. So if that is advertizing stock you don’t have (yet) then they are all Guilty. What I would suggest they do is not leave items posted that are sold out and have been so for ages. It does say SOLD OUT in big letters but that is rather pointless if it is a limited edition of 500 that was sold in 2017. It ain’t coming back into stock. However as Tim (at WHAT) like our Paul here is a one man band I am prepared to cut him some slack, of the online independents he is routinely the cheapest, has great packaging, very safe and secure…of 100s of records ordered in 6 years not so much as a single dog ear or return. Yes, postage for anything above three records is £8 but that is the highest you will pay so hunt around and get a few bargains to add to the pot, but as I say as he is routinely a couple of quid cheaper than the other online stores it still works out cheaper in the end. What WHAT don’t do though is have the really obscure and interesting stuff Paul does here like Bagpuss, Clangers, Conchords, Kankyō Ongaku and so on, it’s more of a straight shop than a curation, like SDE. Between these two independents you have pretty much everything you could need. And also, like SDE, they pay Tax.
thanks for the background info
I’ll definitely be cutting him some slack then
What Records is very reliable, I’ve been a customer for ages. Strong buy! Prices have been continuously so competitive, that’s why out of stock a lot.
there are a few good deals on Hendrix too:
south saturn delta
new rays
blues
AYE mono
And the Nick Cave Best of Super Deluxe Edition is back on at £32!
Although it is on back order you can still pre-order
For those that are interested A Broken Frame 3 x 12″ Depeche Mode is £36 on Am.uk at the moment. This is as low as it has been anywhere.
Thanks for the heads up …just bought it … last one apparently.
A Pleasure!
Little victories.
New it was risky buying a ‘last one’ off amazon…Broken Frame was delivered today and the slipcase had a huge corner ding, returning it to amazon :( …this has happened a few times with ‘last ones’ from amazon. Oh well.
When is this going to stop! Had to also order Tricky’s debut so there goes my weekend beer budget.
Bought 3 LPs
– Vanessa Paradis 8.97 Euro
– Steely Dan (Aja) 9.88 Euro &
– Norah Jones (Begin Again), the new album for 14.35 Euro
incl. free shipping
Not a bad deal! Thanks Paul!
(The VAT in my country is just 7.7%)
Too good to resist, grabbed 3 albums – Sonic Youth ‘Goo’ / Japan ‘Ghosts’ & the 3LP Coral ‘singles’ album for only £34 delivered, bargain
After placing an order yesterday, I got dragged back in and placed a second order today…oh the insanity :)
Ordered
Bowie- Man who sold the world
Kraftwerk – 3D catalogue (double album)
Earthless – Black heaven
Yesterday for €51 delivered
And
Dr. John- Gris-Gris
Budgie – Bandolier
Judas Priest – Firepower (double album)

Today for €51 and change delivered
Too bad I was too late to get Queen – Innuendo…but with a score like this one just can’t complain.
Thanks Paul and all the contributors for the info, much obliged.
REM at BBC – Absolute bargain
Thanks Paul
A few more I’ve seen (don’t think I’ve seen the Dylan one mentioned yet):
Tricky – Maxinquaye €10. Buena Vista at Carengie Hall double vinyl €12, Nas – Illmatic XX €10, Band of Horses – Everything All The Time €10, Arcade Fire – EP €7.50, Dylan and The Dead €10, Michael Jackson – Off the Wall Picture Disc – €13, Derek and The Dominos – Layla €10.

Bob Dylan – Trouble No More €36, Mogwai – Les Revenants €7, Phil Collins – The Singles double vinyl €20.
And with that, he was broke.
It’s not part of the deal but the vinyl of Portishead’s spectacular debut album, Dummy, is only €9.99 on Amazon France at the moment £11.99 including P&P to UK.
https://www.amazon.fr/Dummy-Portishead/dp/B00004WNFZ
not as such in the promotion but a great deal on the triple LP from The Coral ‘Singles Collection’ at € 13,34. This includes the singles collection on LP1 and ‘mysteries & rarities’ on LP2 and LP3.

Damn, damn, damn! I’d resisted until Alain alerted me to The Coral LP, now that’s what I call a bargain! Merci Alain The Coral are a great band.
I had 3 Tom Waites and Pink Floyd ‘London’ in my basket but wasn’t going to bother because I have them on CD but I thought bollocks to it. It’s not the money, if I have none I don’t buy it’s where am I going to put the feckers?
I think the deal is over.
No, it’s isn’t :)
It’s still on – ordered a few things. But the Eno ones i wanted seemed to have gone
Wish there was a better way to search !
No way to search. I’ve updated the post quite a lot, so worth another look for some other suggestions.
The last time Amazon uk had a great deal, as far as I know, was early last year, Amazon fr and de always have deals throughout the year.
I think it’s more a case of “another company in france or germany” has a sale & amazon then try and under-cut them. FNAC in this case, and whatever the one in Germany is which keep doing the buy 2 get 1 free deals.
At the start of this year there was a sale on vinyl in the UK – guess what, HMV had one too!
Then there was the black friday sale too.
Probably not going to happen that often anymore – obviously depending on how HMV alter their business methods in the future.
Does Amazon uk ever have promotions similar to this and the German ones? I can’t remember any.
Great deal. Got Hounds Of Love and Herbie Hancock -Headhunters. A couple off my wantlist.
The lack of search facility in the promotion might be a blessing in disguise for retaining my bank balance.
If anyone finds that the discounts haven’t been applied at checkout it’s because you ticked the box and added item to basket TOO QUICKLY. You need to wait for it to turn green and say it’s been applied. I came to grief 4 or 5 times before discovering this.
Yes! That’s exactly what happened to me. I checked the box and moved on, not realising you had to wait. Nice call:)
Nightmare trying to contact Amazon Fr re queries – emails bounce back with errors, as do website emails.
cs-reply@amazon.fr always does the trick for me
Clive,
Should have added in my reply to you that I always ask them to reply in English as opposed to French. I can usually get the jist of their French language replies but feel safer when it is in English
This was a pretty great deal
After a lot of snooping, I got this lot for a little over €12 each
Paul Simon, In the Blue Light
John Hiatt, The Eclipse Sessions
Sharon Van Etten, Remind Me Tomorrow
Phosphorescent, C’est la vie
Bob Dylan, Modern Times
Prefab Sprout, I Trawl the Megahertz
Villagers, The art of pretending to swim
Elvis Costello, Look Now
Van Morrison, The Prophet Speaks
Bill Fay, Who Is the Sender?
Thanks for the alert Paul – I might have to avoid coming on here for a little while!
After playing around with the deals for a bit, I settled on the Bowie “Let’s Dance”, “Tonight” and “Never Let Me Down”. I kept thinking do I need all three (I have original US pressings of them all), and other assorted excuses.
I also toyed around with the Prince releases, but after doing the math, found out I could get them cheaper from Amazon US, mostly cause of the shipping costs.
Also, want to save some money for the US RSD Prince releases…
“The VERSACE Experience: PRELUDE 2 GOLD” Cassette
and “His Majesty’s Pop Life / The Purple Mix Club” 2 LP set
Plus zillions of dollars of other stuff to buy…
More finds (thanks for Eno tips!)
Japan Tin Drum (remaster)
Calexico Black Light (reissue)
But this is the best – Miles Davis Agartha for €15 – I almost want to buy it again
https://www.amazon.fr/Agharta-Hq-Gatefold-Miles-Davis/dp/B016KY1MW4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1551793620&sr=8-7&keywords=miles+davis+vinyl
Bargain of the day is the pink Floyd London 1966/67 10inch, says it’s German import but pretty sure it’s the UK version.
A bargain at €8.90 with voucher
Discogs lists a German version:
https://www.discogs.com/Pink-Floyd-London-19661967-/release/11507814
Paul, I don’t think that Ambient 1 is the double 45. That one is https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07HT26GQK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&psc=1
Sorry! Anyone who has pre-ordered might want to double check things on the Eno front. I have now updated, with what should be correct versions.
‘Double dipping’ doesn’t seem to be a problem. I bought three LPs from amazon.fr this morning, then realised that there are others I’d like, so went back in just now and completed a second order. I had no problem applying the discounts and the final price at checkout was after deductions, i.e. very good indeed! Vive la France
Kraftwerk 3d catalogue double vinyl is €18.90 with voucher!
Just to say the standard versions of the Eno ‘ambient’ vinyls are only €10 each.
Well that’s four items bought (Zappa, Weezer, Magma and Dylan) all to my door for £44.
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve had my eye on Discreet Music and Music For Films for a while now. £30 for both was just too hard to resist. Glad I know basic French!
Well I wasn’t going to buy “Tonight” or “Never Let Me Down” as I have decent-ish second hand vinyl copies of both. But at a tenner or so each…
Apologies for being really stupid but how do I just view all vinyl in this promotion?
There is no way of doing that (seriously).
Oh, right. Thanks Paul though would rather have found out I was being stupid!
I’ve just tried to do a second order today and although it lets you tick the orange coupon for the discount it doesn’t actually apply the discount at checkout.
I checked the T&C’s and it says only one coupon use per person. I would advise anybody to ensure they have everything they want in the deal before completion of intitial order.
I bought a bunch of Kate Bush 1LPs in my initial order yesterday evening which is shipping soon. However I went back to order the remaining four 2LP Kate Bush sets this morning and it’s as I have detailed above. No double dipping!
So I guess for me it’s ask a friend time!
Mark, I just did two separate orders and got the €10 discount on items in both of them. So I’m not sure what you are saying is right… or certainly, it didn’t apply to me.
It is a bit hit and miss. I compiled a big order and checked out before I realised i’d missed an item so I duplicated that order plus that one additional item and discounts were applied so I checked out then cancelled order one. But as this offer is so good I thought i’d place another order today but despite the tick box being available on Imagine, no discount deducted at checkout. I suppose you win some and lose some but no way am I going to jepordise that large order, about £100 saving on UK prices.
How strange. I tried a few times too, doing everything identical to first order. The T&Cs do have a clause regarding one coupon per person. I tried again using the App and Website. I get to check the discount box but at the final stage the discount isn’t available. Very strange if you could still get it? I’ll try again later and see if it works again tonight. I don’t normally have issues like this. Very Weird!
Update! I tried again starting with the Ariel link on the SDE site. That applied the discount. I added the other four and all were discounted automatically. Checkout showed discount. I ordered OK this time. So good result, but still weirdness ordering earlier. :)
i’ve made 5 orders so far with no issues with the discount , first few albums arrived today with no issues
A quick heads-up. FNAC currently have lots of vinyl also for €10. There is also a promotion where you can get three more expensive vinyls for €10 each. Example being three Queen albums which are usually 19.99 and are then half price. Worth checking!
http://bit.ly/2VAIofl
Just to clarify about the FNAC offer: if you buy three LPs which are part of their promotion, you get €10 off in total. Queen LPs are €20 each, so you get three for €50 in total. Not half price, but still not bad, and even more so if you buy three LPs at €15 each (total price = €35). I think that you have to be a member of their loyalty scheme to benefit from this promotion. Postage costs are higher than Amazon.
Ah thanks for clarifying that. My mistake.
Maybe I am wrong, but as far as I know the “3 vinyl = 10€” promotion from fnac is not, that you get 3 for 10€ each. It says, when you buy three vinyls with that sign, you get 10€ credit on your Fnac customcard.
tried it with 3 Queen as you said, but it shows the normal price (19,90€ each) at the end.
It seems incredible that so many of these vinyl albums – many by British bands or singers – are available so much more cheaply in France than in the UK. I guess that’s the benefit of France being a full and proud EU and EEA member. Vinyl prices, which are already extortionate in the UK, not least as nearly all new vinyl is imported from Europe, are going to go up by a lot in the UK after Brexit. However, it’s also going to be harder to benefit from deals like this. If you order from France (or anywhere in the EU) after 29th March, your parcels will be kept in the Post Office until you’ve gone there and paid the import duties. Many other items simply won’t be available for shipping to the UK. You could always get round this by popping over to France to go record shopping, but it might be very slow and expensive to cross the Channel compared to now, and you might get pulled over by Customs on the way back and forced to pay duties anyway. Whatever happens, the UK music industry is soon going to take a huge hit, with us consumers and music lovers the ultimate victims.
BTW if you’re on the French Amazon site, don’t hesitate to pick up some French language LPs. There are many which are highly recommended, such as recent LPs by Juliette Armanet and Lou Doillon, which are oustanding. And for people like Garry who are worried about the ‘writing on the albums being in English’, he need fret no more because on albums like these, it’s all in French.
“After 29th March, your parcels will be kept in the Post Office until you’ve gone there and paid the import duties”. Not true. Where are you getting that from? What you’ve said only applies if we leave the EU with a ‘no deal’ and even then that may not even happen immediately.
Well said Paul. Michiel Spoor’s post is so full of gibberish, the internet is already full of EU scaremongering, can SDE please not be sucked into it?!
I’ve had orders from the USA and Australia in the past. Never had to go to a post office to collect them. Why should the EU be different?
Is there a way to filter by only items in the deal? I think this could prove to be expensive (again – I haven’t played all of my 3-for-2 purchases yet!)
Thanks Paul! I scored some great bargains: Arctic Monkeys latest for 10.99 Euros, Tindersticks ‘Curtains’ for 14.36 EU and Tom Waits ‘Mule Variations’ was just 8.63 EU, although everything is going to be deliver in France . There are still plenty of Tom Waits titles that can be bought with big discounts.
Thanks again Paul. Prices on albums in the deal are way below UK prices and it is worthwhile digging deep on the site for bargains. Managed to get the recent Mark Knopfler and Van Morrison double albums plus Dylan’s More Blood More Tracks, Queens Greatest Hits, and the Toots and the Maytals double reissue Reggae got Soul for below 65 quid including postage. 114 pounds on Amazon UK!.
Can anyone tell me if the writing on the albums is in English
Yes!
That is unless you are buying Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Hallyday, France Gall, or other Francophonie singer. Then the album writing is probably in French.
Don’t know if they’re part of the offer but Phil Collins Face Value under a tenner and found Supertramp Breakfast In America picture disc under a tenner. £20.50 shipped, can’t be bad!
Damn! It’s going fast!
I had REM 2LP MTV Best Of + all 3 Prince LPs and Bohemian Rhapsody for approx €70 and instead of buying immediatly I decided to check the promotion one more time for more bargains as the coupon can be used only once and I should’t have ! When I went back to my basket to pay, only Bohemian Rhapsody and 3121 were stll eligible for a discount! I’m gutted! Especially for REM MTV Best Of at less than €10, it was a great offer.
Something similar happened to me plus the discounts wouldn’t apply until several attempts. Finally managed to get it to work and now I’m £150 poorer. Result.
Ah! that explains it, couldn’t understand why Queens Greatest Hits II definitely had discount showing but by the time I had shopped around the site it had gone.
Could someone please tell me why the discounts aren’t being applied at checkout?
Some savage deals on that. Got Queen Bohemian Rhapsody and Greatest Hits, also Eno half-speed Music for Film, Ambient 4 and Discreet Music. Finally LCD Soundsystem London Sessions, Beasties Paul’s Boutique and the new Mercury Rev tribute to Bobbie Gentry all for €125!
If I wasn’t broke after that I’d have sprung for Neil Young’s Tonights The Night Live for €15, Eurythmics Be Yourself Tonight for under a tenner and a load of Tom Waits which were all around €12.
Thanks Paul!
Best damn deal I’ve ever seen but none of my discounts were applied. Now everything I tried to purchase earlier has gone back to full price. Furious!
I got right to the end and no discounts were applied!
For those interested on Amazon fr they’re selling the Judas priest CD box set for under 40€ and a box full of snakes box set from whitesnake for under 35€.
Beatles White Album no longer has a coupon, but Lennon’s Imagine 2LP still has!
Gave up!!! My French is nowhere near good enough. I almost ended up with half a dozen full price copies of Never For Ever!!
thanks! got the 3 prince albums for pennies under £50 delivered, so about £16.66 each which is way more like it, especially as two of the albums were free in the first place and i had multiple copies of them. huge pile of 3121 cds due to all the gigs and free papers, so paying over £30 in most places was a joke
