  1. Just had an email from Amazon telling me the Pretenders box set I ordered (through the SDE Alerts link) in early January is no longer available and is out of stock! Thanks Amazon – I have been waiting for this and could have tried to get it elsewhere. Ramped up price now on Ebay no doubt. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same email? Well cheesed off

  2. My Rolling Stones 45s turned up this morning. Such a bargain, thank you Paul, it is tiny though. It is numbered, does anyone know the age old question of how limited is limited? It must be quite high, in the 10s of thousands.

  7. Jesus I’m classed in the house as someone who will do anything to avoid reality…I haven’t got the heart to tell my partner about SDE…..The only thing that give me up is a ton of stuff arriving from amazon!

    signed a home worker!

  9. Bowie Vinyl Box all snapped up on Amazon; Glad I got in quick! Delivered today in a very impressively packed box. Did note that these were produced in August so likely to be the drop out Heroes, so need to send an email.
    Thanks Paul

  12. I was expecting the Beatles Christmas box to show up as a reduced price item round about now but it is no longer listed by Amazon or HMV. Maybe it really was a limited edition

    1. Yes it was 1500 copies i believe .Iwas talking to a friend in the trade who was bemoaning the
      ridiculous amounts of certain ltd editions versus the 5 copies of the beatles he was allocated.
      How to choose which customers to supply? It does make you wonder who is making the decisions?

  13. Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition arrived just now.
    Great price at £29, unfortunately the slip case was damaged.
    However a quick call the a very helpful amazon advisor resulted in a £6 discount.
    The contents were fine so will live with a bit of box damage for that price.

    Ta for the notification on this one (and many others) Paul.

  14. Paul ref the some girls promo . Itook your advice and let the order stand
    on currently unavailable .They just got in touch with a dispatch date !
    Result !! so thanks owed to you.
    Cheers

    2. The same thing JUST happened to me with the T-Rex 8LP Vinyl collection that was listed but “currently unavailable” when it was showing as £61, it is now £93 as the lowest available. I took a punt and ordered on 16th December and was just about to give up hope when an email came through this morning, it’s being delivered tomorrow. As Fletcher used to say…. “Little Victories”.

      One thing about the Some Girls box, it is the tallest box I have and won’t fit into any of my shelves. First World problems.

    1. Some good titles in this promotion. However be careful as this operates in the same way as the recent promos. There is effectively a code, 4CD20, used at check out to give the discount for “4 CDs for 20 Euro”. This can only be used once per Amazon account. Buy now or wait to see if any other titles are added before the end of the promo on 28th Feb …. ?

  18. Chris Squires –

    Yes. I was a little underwhelmed by the actual product, having queued for a couple of hours in the cold to get it. (4 LPs and not even a gatefold sleeve) But, my local store only had 1 copy, it was reasonably priced for a 4LP set, and it’s a great album.

  24. Now my January is complete (Well until the next deal!!!) Got the SDE of the FLC and what a bargain price – Soooo sweet.

    Thanks John and Paul

  26. You can find a few interesting blu rays (mostly concerts) at Fnac.com for €7 :
    + Iggy Pop – Post Pop Depression Live
    + The Who – Live at Hyde Park
    + The Rolling Stones – Havana Moon
    + Mumford & Sons – Live from South Africa : Dust and Thunder Blu-ray
    + Led Zeppelin – Song remains the same

    A few days ago, you could find a couple more Stones blu rays and Arcade Fire’s The Reflektor Tapes or Placebo’s We come in pieces at that price but they’re all gone.

    https://musique.fnac.com/n363733/Petits-prix-Musique/DVD-et-Blu-Ray-musicaux-a-moins-de-10-Euro?SFilt=451!102

  27. I’d held off on the Bob Marley Live having read a few negative reports regarding the sound quality. At that price however it seems worth it to get the extra material (and I still have my original album and CD too).
    Thanks for all your great work, it’s appreciated

  29. In response to Chris Squires further up the thread.

    I queued up outside my store on RSD 2017 specifically to get the Springsteen Live set, and it wasn’t numbered. My understanding is that the the numbering was exclusive to the release in the US on RSD.

    1. That’s most odd Steve and thanks for taking the time to respond. So it would seem there are three versions.
      Gold lettering like this “No.010200”
      Black dot matrix numbering like this “010200”
      and un-numbered like the one that just turned up here today.

  30. I just wanted to say thanks once again Paul. The Nirvana – Nevermind SD limited box set I bought at £34 is now selling at £282.89 on Amazon UK (and £159.95 used), and at similar prices around other Amazon country web sites. What a bargain!

  31. I will never ever get over the fact that I missed “The Stones Singles Box Set” on Wednesday… Even though I was able to get sweet deals the last few days, nothing will come close to the the thrill that I would have had if I had gotten it. Paul, please, get in contact with Amazon.it and ask them to make another sale/offer on that box, please!!! kkk! Do you have such powers?

  42. Springsteen still available at HMV. On line and in store. I toddled down to my local store and picked one up. Nothing on it to indicate it being a RSD release, it’s not numbered.

  43. Chris/Paul…I got back.. having a pint!..Yep the signed poster is right in front of the first album. You can see there’s a black line in front of the indent in the slip case…that’s the signed pic!

  45. Questions that a Springsteen aficionado might be able to help with.

    a) The Springsteen 4LP up for £20.99 set isn’t the RSD 2017 version is it?
    b) Amazon says the RSD 2017 is an edition of 3,000 however my copy is numbered 010590 how can that be?
    c) The Amazon listing that claims to be the RSD version has gold numbers and the letters “No.” also Gold whilst mine which is certainly RSD 2017 just has black numbers like the discogs listing for that release.

    I can only think it has something to do with different US / Europe versions. The deal has stopped now anyway but it would be useful to know which is which if anyone knows.

    1. Thanks Chris and Paul fair play..the stickers are on the outside (how cryptic!)..so I reckon im good..I’ll open it in a bit and get back to you…thanks again

  47. Received Bowie WCIBN? this morning which was £131.82 last week using the eBay 20% code. Also received a week ago, the ANCIANT box which was £149.99 from Amazon but they refunded £22.49 because of the ‘Heroes’ sound issue. So £259.33 for the two is a great deal. And I received the ‘Heroes’ replacement only 4 days after sending an email!

      1. Hey Mike

        I was tempted to call AGAIN, it’s gone from £109 to £98 to £93 in the space of three days. I can live with losing the fiver. As you say, the pricing and response to issues is totally random. At least I got the£98 price point thanks to an understanding chap at the end of the ‘phone.

        It could be “Great Benefit” for those that know their Grisham. Always say no the first time and don’t give anything away until you get to the second or third query. I emailed THEN ‘phoned… maybe they are programmed to ignore you first time around.

        1. Thanks Chris

          I hear you totally…Mine just turned up with no mention of it being signed. Have you got yours and if so is it signed or does it say so on the front?

          thanks mike

          1. It’s interesting how Amazon do this, only the external packaging has any kind of note on the version inside. Most finish with an X (DEMRECBOX011X for example) if they are an exclusive edition. The signed editions I have have all been like this.
            Blancmange, Boxing the Shadows, Heaven on Earth, Brett Anderson and Chris Difford. It’s only the external cardboard that gives the clue. The amazon image gives you the impression that there will be a big eff off sticker on the front with “Amazon exclusive” all over it. Nope.

            My Pretenders, however, turned up without external packaging so the only clue that anything was different before you open her up is that there is a new barcode sticker on the outside of the shrink-wrap. Discogs will not recognize this (yet) so peel the sticker back to reveal the original barcode that discogs recognizes as the normal unsigned edition.

            I have never known this happen before. The Vinyl collection has been around a while obviously and as the packaging and barcode are the same they must have taken excess stock, gathered it all together got Chrissie to sign, what, 500? and resealed them with a new barcode sticker. To re-promote with a signed edition at least 2 years after original release is a new one on me. It’s certainly not a new edition and I don’t think it would be a big enough seller to warrant a complete re-press, the packaging has not changed a bit.
            Curiouser and curiouser…. Any Hynde fanatics with a clue?

  51. Some nice cheapies I found for those who now need to look after wallets, all £2.99 HMV price matches but from Amazon with auto rip :

  57. Thanks for the scoop on Beaucoup Fish. Really wanted this but couldn’t bring myself to pay the original price (although I can’t actually recall how much it was).

    Cheers Paul (for once both my heart AND my wallet say thank you :-) )

  59. Argghhhh, I knew I should have held out on the Underworld, I caved and bought it last week!! Right I am definitely holding off on Automatic for the people Deluxe, that has to drop at some point!

  60. Wow that Underworld box looks great. Already bought it in the German 3 for 2. The sound is excellent. Highly recommend it. Shame I missed the Tubular Bell box. Wanted it badly for that price.

  64. Thank you Paul for the alert regarding the Pretenders Box set and signed poster! I saw Chrissie and the band in Manchester late last year – absolutely brilliant. She also signed 2 of my albums after the show…..can’t have enough of a good thing! Happy New Year to you all xx

  66. Not related to any deals but i got this message from sony re. Heroes

    Thank you for contacting us regarding your replacement Heroes CD/LP.

    Here is your case number: 3591958

    We are currently working through all requests so may not be able to respond to you immediately.

    Once your replacement has been processed, we will provide you with an order confirmation email so that you know that your copy is being arranged for you.

    We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay.

    If you have any questions about your replacement please respond to this email.

    Kind regards,

  67. Interesting that the Pretenders Vinyl came down by 10% since I first saw it and annoyingly bought it at £109. Down at £98. I emailed Amazon and they told me there was nothing that could be done even though the price drop was less than 24hrsafter…. although I could return the item at my own expense and re-order at the lower price….. and here is the lesson I learned…..

    Give them a call.
    I was offered the difference back as a refund immediately, saving the extra £11 and a trip to the post office which would have offset any saving.

    Every time I have given Amazon a call they have come up with the goods. Email seems more hit and miss. I am not sure they would do the same for the insane price that the Rolling Stones singles set went for though.

  68. I missed Sparks :( So are people just keeping this page open and refreshing or does a faster notification exist I am missing out on? Thanks for all the great spots folks!

    2. …and is wrong, obviously, because, as also mentioned many times before, hmv.co.uk doesn’t deliver outside the UK and according to what i read here in the last few days there are really many people here, who don’t live in the UK (myself included). :-))

      1. Brilliant Paul just picked up – Funnily enough I got the Tubular Bells vinyl remaster before Christmas cheap having not heard the whole album for probably 30 years. This has just totally made my day and why SDE is always open in my browsers on phone/tablet and work. Thanks again.

  77. Two great deals for those into jazz or soul on Amazon UK:

    Keith Jarrett – Sun Bear Concerts (6 CD box on ECM) – £24
    Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles Vol 3 (10 CD box 2015 reissue) – £16.20

  79. Oh damn you Mr Skywalker and your 152 minutes of turning my phone off for cinema etiquette!. You cost me a Tears For Fears bargain that i’ve been after for ages. It’s enough to turn me to the dark side.

    1. Pleasure. Dodax do have some good prices, albeit a random selection, e.g Depeche Mode Violator CD/DVD 5.1 £10.56, Songs of Faith and Devotion CD/DVD 5.1 £11.04, and others. And all free delivery.

  82. I tried to follow the link and buy Tears for Fears’ Songs from the big chair blu-ray at £8 but it’s already gone. It’s back at £19.99

          1. Ach! Fair play I guess for £8 but I got a DAC thing for my headphones at Christmas and it’s really singing when it’s Hi-Res files playing

  84. About Phil Collins, most of his solo albums have been remastered and re-released as 2CD Deluxe Editions so his fans already have bought those deluxe versions, they don’t really care about this “cheap” box set. For the rest, they buy his singles compilations on CD (for example the excellent Singles box released in 2016 with 45 songs), not his albums.

      1. Paul do you have any 2017 data on physical compact disc sales for the year? I’m very curious to see if there’s been any positive movement in the (my preferred) format. I did read that vinyl was up from 2016. Also wondering how we can get you and SDE “personal” credit for your percentage :)

          1. I haven’t even heard od three of the ten most-streamed artists. Man, i’m feeling old now. ;-)

    2. Yeah, I get what you mean but it was a brilliantly timed piece of marketing. I bet there were lots of “around a tenner” Christmas presents bought, so Mr. Collins will have been better served by selling 5,000 copies (Amazon for the kids, Sainsbury’s for the parents or whatever) at a tenner than 1,000 copies (ditto) at £30, which still wouldn’t be a bad price for an 8 CD collection of well known albums. plus it might lead to 5,000 families being exposed to his music again which can only be a good thing….
      It seems sad on the face of it…. but I don’t think Phil himself would come out of this badly.

    3. “What a sell out for a great musician”

      For £8.99, it probably will sell out. Never really buy into this “selling out” thing and people getting a bit too precious about artists they like. As Chris Squires, says it exposes his music to a wider audience and Collins’ no doubt has millions squirrelled away already, so everyone’s a winner.

    4. I find it totally understandable that they have to sell it for cheap. Keep in mind that they released all the albums just last year as Deluxe Editions with a second disc of bonus material and a box to put them into. I guess that serious Collins-fans would have bought this.
      So the market these two new boxes are aiming at is imho either the hardcore collector who needs to have literally everything the artist releases or people with only a vague former interest in Phil Collins and if you manufacture really high numbers of both sets the only way to get rid of them then will be the pricing.
      I had a minor interest in PC before (still meaning that i got all the albums up to “Dance Into The Light” when they were initially released) but don’t thought the bonus cd’s were worth the GBP 13 or EUR 15 asking price each when released.
      So i bought the new box with the foldout-covers via the Saturn.de 3-for-2-deal for about EUR 14 and thought that to be a fair price for all 8 albums (no DE though). That was before i found out that Amazon.fr was selling it for EUR 4,50…
      No way to make me order it again in plain paper wallets at any price.

  94. I still can’t get over the fact that I missed the Stones Singles box set… :(
    Do we have to stop everything that we are doing and literally stay here all day long?
    KKKK

  95. Not sure that VU set is such a deal, it cost me almost the same on release date in HMV (£44.99).
    Brilliant set though, the sound and content put many others to shame, totally recommended!

  96. Bowie’s “A New Career In A New Town” CD set back down to £65 on Amazon UK…

    Back in at £64.99 but on back order – so still available to order.

    @gwynogue Thanks for the original tip.

  98. Missed some girls ,early night last night!
    Couldn’t have lasted long.
    Paul is it worth sticking it in the basket ?
    Or is “Temporarily out of stock” Amazon speak for
    “gone gone gone”
    ps happy new year late .

  99. Thanks for the SOME GIRLS tip! I was on the fence about it since it was released, but now I can’t wait to hear it.
    There goes my New Year’s resolution.

  102. Another great spot on the Nirvana Super Deluxe Paul – gojng for £95 used on Discogs and £111 on Amazon UK. Managed to snaffle a copy quickly for £34.46 including postage….

  103. Nirvana “Nevermind” SDE ordered! First deal of the New Year w/shipping to the U.S. only £45.05 (shipping was £17.80 alone but it still couldn’t be beat). Thanks Paul!

      1. It’s gone, just sold by thid party sellers at +200€! It was an amazing deal, hope I’m gonna get mine and they won’t cancel the order!

  106. Yes I still got shrinkwrapped stuff too but that is because the insane amount of Deal Alerts. The German 3 for 2 (twice in the last few months!!), the sales the amazon.com has been running on R.E.M., George Michael, Smiths, Ramones, and then the French deals, it’s been too much. I fell for it all which means a very short “want” list left, a pile of box sets on my desk I have to work through and an empty wallet. All good though. Will listen to it all. A lot!!

    1. Exactly my thought. Got a very short want list but enough to unwrap and listen to until Christmas 2018 i think.
      So Paul, no more Deal Alerts this year, will you?

  107. Bowie’s “A New Career In A New Town” back down to £65 on Amazon UK…

    * * * * * BUT!!!!!* * * * *

    …only with a Prime membership.

    I suppose it’s technically possible to sign up to Prime, place the order, then immediately cancel Prime…but we would never suggest such chicanery, would we Paul?

    *wink, wink* :)

  110. Am I missing something here?

    On am.uk the Pretenders Vinyl collection in £143.
    The very same thing with a limited edition 12” print signed by Christie Hynde is £109.

    Does anyone know what this is about as I hadn’t seen the signed version before, only came across it whilst browsing the Demon Records website earlier. If it is the same identical set of 9LPs then with signature it would seem, on face value, to be a bit if a bargain.

    Or as I said am I missing something? (repress, Black vs. Coloured or something else I hadn’t spotted)

      1. @Paul…
        that is definetely not great news, thanks for letting us know.
        Quite cheeky Amazon lists this with 1-4 weeks delivery time then. I ordered the set myself now, so maybe in time for X-mas 2018. :)

  113. I think the initial signed batch of Brett Anderson’s vinyl-boxset must have sold first out when it was released, then on march 2017 (as I mentioned elsewhere on this website) there was one signed box on sale from AmazonUK, but it was bought quickly. Then I started to look for and eventually more signed boxset became available for purchase, I think the number was 9 or 8 at least, so now it’s down to 3. I think they have still priced this set a bit too high, otherwise they could have easily sold them all much earlier.
    Im still on the fence, might be getting this set, but not sure if the higher price really justifies that purchase. If it was £40-50 I might instantly get it. I don’t have any of Brett’s albums but I’ve heard them via legal streaming-services..

  115. The “Simply Red – Live In Sicily” box set by Edsel is 30 per cent off at amazon.co.uk at the moment. Only 19.00 pounds. Paul, do you happen to know if the “Live In Cuba” box set is out of print? I have literally searched everywhere and no one has it… That is the only one that’s missing from my Damon Music (Edsel) SR reissues.

    2. Hi Leonardo, just checked the website of the Demon Group for you and it seems that the “Cuba”-box is oop, because even the “Buy now”-link there just leads you to Amazon.co.uk, where it’s unavailable right now. I found one copy though on Discogs, new and shrinkwrapped from the UK for GBP 39,99 + p&p.

      1. Klaus, thank you so much for that information! Is it still available at Discogs? Could you send me the link? Do they post it to the Republic of Ireland? Cheers, mate!

    1. The price on that is not budging is it. The best part of £80 is a lot for a 4 LP set, even with a signature. The Belinda Carlisle autograph was only £60 when attached to 4LPs and I snagged Bill Wyman’s signed 4LP set for £42.99 at which it stayed all over the Christmas period but has just gone up to £60. I’d be all over Brett for £40 to £50, but not £80. The unsigned set is only £37. Want it…. want the signature but will wait.

  123. Followup – the Dury Vinyl set is still listed at the sale price on the page listing all the vendors offering it. Click on the “12 new from…” phrase on the page SuperDeluxeEdition takes you to. It’s listed as out of stock but the order button looks like it’s live. My e-mail from Amazon says “Delivery date pending. We’ll email you as soon as we have a delivery date. ”

    So maybe you can still order it.

    1. I’ve had one of those “delivery date pending”emails hanging over an order I made for the T-Rex vinyl collection about three weeks ago when it was down to £60 for about a day. Do these things EVER come through.
      Just managed to snag a copy of the Tusk SDE from Amazon for £71, as soon as I did it shot up to £142 where it is now. The whole bloody shooting match is a lottery or as someone said on the Carpenters thread “it’s a crapshoot”. I snagged Ian Dury last year when a deal alert lasted about 9 minutes for a similar price, it’s a beautiful little set.
      Keep ‘em coming Paul, always a buzz.

      1. You’re right about the “shooting match” Chris, but ain’t that part of the fun?
        You’re late into the “Tusk” set though. I got one about half a year after its release for EUR 55 via jpc.de.

        1. Got mine for £37.49 from Amazon UK in October 2015 after watching it like a hawk. Unlike the Rumours set which still comes down to under £25 regularly, Tusk seems to have just kept going up and up from Amazon UK without any periods of steep discount despite it being in stock and apparently not out of print. They seem to have yielded sales to the Marketplace sellers. I wonder which way their eponymous album deluxe set will go? It’s pre-order price has been inching up a few pennies every few days.

          1. Hi Derek,
            i always thought that they manufactured waaay too many of the “Rumours”-boxes and kept the numbers for the follow-ups smaller.

          2. I preordered the FM75 SDE when it was first announced on Amazon UK and it was 39 pounds…which is like $53US…great price…on Amazon US it’s almost double that at $90US!! Still need to order the SDEs of Rumours, Tusk and Mirage…one at a time, I got the Tango SDE which is great…one at a time…and I do not think there will be other FM SDE’s like Behind The Mask or Time or the pre Buckingham Nicks FM albums… Am I wrong??

          3. I was stretching my imagination but couldn’t see SDE-treatment for either “Time” or “Behind The Mask”.
            For the albums feat. Peter Green or Bob Welch it might be difficult to clear the rights of the recordings.
            What i CAN imagine though are SDEs of “The Dance” and “Say You Will”.

      Thanks for The Farm – although I posted a deal myself a few weeks ago, I forgot to order it…
      But now even cheaper, so surely no complaints.

    4. Like what?? 9 pounds for a 7CD box…I did get it for 11 with the VAT removed, which was great but damn… I just got it recently and finished listening to it…great stuff and the booklet was interesting reading… The whole bit about Liverpool and their history and culture and how Hooton got his start writing a fanzine The End, incorporating Scouser humour/wit with commentary on music, sporting clothing as fashion, and football… Like I’d want to read that!! And the connection between the Farm and Madness…and how the band almost came to blows with Ian McCulloch!!

  131. I clicked on my phone to see the great price on the Ian Dury sale, and jumped to Amazon to buy. I then tried the same thing on my computer to make it easier to finish the order, and the offer was no longer available. Good thing I still had my phone with me to get the great price. Thanks, Paul, for starting the new year off on the right foot. I have been looking for this set to go on sale for a while.

  132. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Ian Dury LP box set for a while in the hope that the price would drop but …. £40!!! Incredible! Thanks again Paul.
