An addition to my previous comment about the Love Unlimited box. Some credits (producer, mastering engineer) are mentioned on the side of the package, but I had to use my reading glasses to decipher the characters. Nevertheless, a very good sounding set.
Just got the Love Unlimited box set in the mail. I’m not complaining about the price and the music, but the release is a bit disappointing. The discs have very thin cardboard sleeves, the printing looks a bit cheap. No liner notes, no extra info about (re)mastering, no booklet. Just 7 discs in quite flimsy sleeves. Picked it up for just 13 euros thanks to this site. A bargain of course, but there wasn’t much attention from the label, when they put together this box set.
I cant seem to get the jpc.de web site to work
keep crashing when I try to submit credit card detail to order !
Company seem very hit or miss with service too.
40% say it is great, 40% say it is a terrible place to order.
bought the zappa in new york ‘manhole’ box set from jpc about 3 days ago. recieved email today to say i’ve been refunded as the zappa title is now deleted.
Sadly, the same happened to me.
Forthcoming Bob Marley Complete Island Box on CD down to £32.02 on Amazon. Less than £3.00 a CD!
jpc ships fast, ordered the gong set last night and it’s already shipped out using DHL this morning
Ordered the TD box at JPC. Better late than never.
Hi, saw the rejuvenation Simpleminds cd box for around 48 € in amazon.fr too. I think that’s quite a nice deal, right?
Has “The Love Unlimited Orchestra” box sold out from amazon Germany?
Love From Planet Gong boxset (12CD+DVD) is also 65€ at amazon.de at the moment. Very nice set as well
it’s also on jbc for the same price but the shipping is a lot less on jbc.de for american buyers
The current price on the german ‘Saturn’ onlinepage for the Tangerine Dream box is 58,48 Euro. But only shipping to german adress. https://www.saturn.de/de/product/_tangerine-dream-in-search-of-hades-the-virgin-recordings-1973-%E2%80%93-1979-pop-cd-blu-ray-disc-2545953.html
Just posting to highlight Jerry’s post on the Bob Marley Thread that Bob Marley’s The Complete Island 11CD Box Set is available to pre-order on Amazon UK for £31.92 (20% off) Managed to get it and still available as of 17:00 BST 18/10/20.
Thanks Jerry!
Will.
As far as I can tell the Target deal is over. Amazon US matches Target but not with all their products. It’s a very lame version of a 3 for 2. You are much better off at Target. They include all pre-orders as well. I was able to pick up the new Ramones End Of The Century 40th Anniversary Box set in my 3 for 2 deal. That Ramones box is not even listed on Amazon yet, let alone included in the 3 for 2. Target does list most of their products for absolutely full price. So you need to pick and choose. Some prices are so inflated, you never get ahead, not even in a 3 for 2. For instance, the Lou Reed New York Box was listed at $80. On importcds.com that is a regular $50. Importcds.com has excellent prices throughout but you get absolutely zero service. You get what you pay for. Even canceling an order is practically impossible and they may sit on an order for weeks before they either cancel or ship, BUT it’s cheap.
@Kauwgompie- I agree with your thoughts regarding ImportCDs and would add that lately I’ve experienced price drops on pre-ordered box sets. They do not adjust for these reductions and you must stay diligent in monitoring their site, hope you catch the order before it ships, attempt a cancellation, await a confirmation, and than finally, place a new order at the better updated item price point. It all means you’re risking your place in the queue- this happened with my New Order”Power, Corruption & Lies” Definitive Edition (dropped from $99.79 to $79.10) and they had no inventory to send my “new New Order order”. It happened again with the new Replacements box but I decided to just keep it as is and not risk loosing my place in line (that set is amazing set by the way).
I’ve probably spent $1,000 in just the past three months with them and feel a bit slighted as I’ve been very loyal. I may cancel my remaining 4 pre-orders and give Bull Moose a try (have never dealt with them).
Which site had the previous $58 deal for the TD Box?
Amazon Germany.
Paul would this mean the booklet and writing would all be in German?
No
It’s JPC Germany Paul. ‘Hades’ is only available through 3rd party sellers at Am. Ger.
I know. I was answering the question ‘who had the €58 deal’ – which was Amazon DE. But as you say, no longer.
In the US, both Target and Amazon have the 2 for 3 sale going on today (not sure how long it will last). I have to remember to keep wish lists for this sort of thing!
I took advantage of the Amazon US 3 for 2 deal going on now. I got the Charlatans Bet 10th and 11th double clear double vinyl, Massive Attack Mezzanine double vinyl, and the Roger Waters US/Them Blu-ray for under $50!!

Many thanks Paul I have just purchased the Tangerine Dream box set from JPC in Germany who will ship to me here in Australia. The savings for me are enormous!
Ordered the Tangerine Dream box set. Usually prefer vinyl over CD, but this deal was too good to pass. I have a couple of their later releases which are actually featured in the brand new box set “Pilots of Purple Twilight” but the last Tangerine Dream release I bought (‘Dream Sequence’ on vinyl) made me want to dig deeper into the early years of this band anyway. This offer came at the right time, for me. I think it’s hard to get more value for the money than in this deal.
Bagged that Barry White/Love Unlimited Orchestra from Amazon Germany…shipping was the same price, making it $31US, but not complaining, still killer for a 7CD box!! Curious…the Amazon app has been acting all wonky lately, shutting down as soon as I get on…in all countries?! US, UK, Germany, France, Italy…so I have to get on via individual websites…has this been happening to anyone else??
Ordered Tang Dream then cancelled it. I thought, surely a true fan should have this other than myself merely as it is a bargain. I hope a true fan got the copy i cancelled. I like the Dream dont get me wrong.
Really wish I could nab that Tangerine Dream box, but sadly, they won’t ship to Canada!
Yes they do!
They ship to Kanada from Deutschland.
I just tried to order from JPC to Kanada and got a message that they do not. I am guessing it is due to Covid 19, which makes zero sense.
Thank You Paul!!! Ordered the Tangerine Dream Box. With Shipping to USA it totals at $85, which is half of the price at amazon USA ($153 plus shipping). Worth mentioning is also the price for their second box from Amazon.de as it is 99 Euros versus $215 plus shipping in USA.
Does anyone know if the book etc will be in English? They are a German band after all!
I got it from Amazon Germany. It is in English
Thanks, wow, that was a real impulse purchase of the Tangerine Dream, i had been mildly curious in past but was put off by price but couldn’t resist a deal like that!
Tangerine Dream now back to €135, sadly..
I just bought one at €69.99 (£71 via PayPal)
Simple Minds? Poof. Gone (at that super-low price).
Go to amazon Germany at 25€ ♂️
What a bargain for Tangerine Dream, fill your boots if you ain’t got it already .
‘Street fighting years’ Euro33 now. Shame. Also picking up dreadful reviews there guess it’s the sound quality…
Thanks Paul, great deal to start the weekend. Not too familiar with this seminal band, so perfect opportunity to dive in.
Simple minds box is 24,99€ in amazon Germany, in France the deal is gone.
tangerine dream brilliant thanks
Cheers Paul! Snagged the Tangerine Dream box. There were only 8 left in stock when I got mine, so I’d advise people to hurry!
Grabbed the Simple Minds box thanks Paul
Thanks. Had been waiting for a better price on Simple Minds.
Fantastic price for the Tangerine Dream box. Ordered straight away. Cheers Paul.
Bugger, missed it. Unbelievable price for that.
