  3. I know it’s probably been said before but for anyone disappointed at missing out on a deal – for example Jam/Sex Pistols sets which have gone up in price – or who don’t want to make a £20 minimum spend on Amazon, it’s worth checking out HMV both online and in store. I was disappointed at missing the Pistols boxset but found it for £27.99 in there. Happy bargain hunting (and thanks Paul, and assorted contributers).

    2. If someone is a UK buyer, since it is often HMV reducing prices that gets Amazon to follow suit and since HMV offer free UK postage on orders £10 and over it could be argued that it is better to give HMV the business if like for like price wise, to keep them in business and to keep a healthy competition in the marketplace. When there is no competition there will be no deals.

      1. Yes I thought the same. I got the Abba box set from HMV. After scrabbling around on Amazon trying to find something else to make it up to £20, I realised that HMV did free delivery on £10. Will remember that for the future!

  7. Thanks for the DM heads up already have on digital so the hard copy is a welcome addition. £10.91 now that’s my sort of deal.

    Must save for RSD!!!!!

    Thanks Paul

  8. Just ordered a copy of DM’s “Spirit” for £11.67. I’ve got Prime so postage is free and 1-day delivery, so not bad. Expensive month this!

  10. I ordered Days Of Future Passed from Amazon and paid for standard delivery and they are claiming it’s in stock but i’m getting a delivery date of 10 May – 11 May ?

  11. Well double win The Jam, The Who and Inxs all arrived today ahead of schedule. Ordered with no rush free kindle book/digital credit for each item – Yay three free 99p books then – Thanks again Paul

  14. The Who box bagged the other day now waiting for the postman.
    These deal alerts are costing me a fortune Mr Sinclair….but thanks!

  15. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Have Peter Gabriel So & INXS Kick 30 in my clutches [the latter is what a deluxe should be] and await the OMD from Germany.

    It has been a good week.

    Did I say thank you?…..

    1. Jam is the same size as Tears For Fears / Simple Minds box. Sex Pistols is seven-inch sized, I think. Comparing them and coming up with which is ‘better’ is totally subjective, really.

      1. Thanks. Is that 10 inch size?I like both bands pretty much equally in that year was wondering about the worth of additional content, box, book etc

        1. For the Jam book alone is worth price of admission tons of pics plus copies of MM NME etc newspaper clippings gig list beautifully done

    2. Okay, so they just delivered my Jam box (yes, on Easter Sunday). I also own the Sex Pistols box.

      There really is no competition here. If you want value for money, The Jam box is the obvious winner. It’s been put together with more love and attention. The hardback book is nice in the Sex Pistols set, but it has fewer pages. While the Sex Pistols CD’s come in the cheap cardboard sleeves, the Jam have put theirs in legitimate Mini LP format (including, for example, the inner sleeve for Modern World). You also get two studio albums with The Jam.

      I guess both are nice enough – and I own both. But if I could only have one – and I’ve not listened yet so keep that in mind – The Jam set feels like the better of the two.

    2. £6.40 3rd party. In two minds still. Doubt will watch the doc and certainly not more than once. I’ve seen enough MJ stuff over the years and own a few programmes on Blu ray that i recorded from TV. I would prefer bonus CD material and already have the previous editions. Handy that they included that piece of chalk though. My kids like chalk

    1. They’re matching HMV/Fopp who had it for that in-store yesterday. If the second disc had been the demos, I’d have bitten. Such as it is…

  24. I wish we could have a deluxe version of INXS Listen Like Thieves…. Kick gets all the attention due to the hit singles etc. but for me LLF is a better album. A live album from that era would be great. Maybe one day…

  27. Stones,Jam, Who and Moody Blues ordered.

    Plus already ordered Neil Young vinyl and creation box set.

    Must stop.

    Please Paul, no more ‘deals’.

    Thanks though. Pete

  29. I also would warn people about the 3-CD So by Gabriel. The mastering of the entire set is compressed to hell – it’s by far the worst version of the original album. The live CD’s aren’t any better.

  30. Well, that’s well and truly done it. The only Jam album I really care about is the debut, and that deluxe edition has been tempting for some time. The price was horrendous though….. until now. So there ya go…..

  31. Public Enemy 2014 deluxes are crazy cheap as well.
    It Takes A Nation Of Millions… 2CD&DVD – £4.99
    Fear of a Black Planet 2CD – £3.89

    Bargain!

      1. You’re right Paul, 20% discount is pretty good compared to the regular UK price. I was comparing the UK discount cost to what it cost on Amazon.ca, which is just under $40 CDN. Thanks for the heads up though, always good to know about any discounts.

  38. Thanks guys great deals hope the wife is out when they come! Thanks too to Paul for this wonderful site much appreciated all your hard work. Had to book up for NY after your trip!

    1. From past experience I think you will find it’s the other way round. Amazon UK often respond to HMV price drops, same as when Amazon Germany matches Saturn as with the 3 for 2 deal.

      1. That’s always an issue..but in the usual threads there are always links (if available) for HMV, FNAC and JPC. This thread is more about deals, most of which come from Amazon’s response to other local companies such as HMV in the UK and Saturn in Germany. Neither of which will ship outside their own country. So the amazon matching link at least helps someone in the UK or elsewhere take advantage of the German deal from Saturn which we couldn’t otherwise get. Also don’t forget that HMV isn’t a small independent, It’s nice to have as an option but it is owned by Hilco, which depending on your outlook are either a re-investment saviour or an asset stripping behemoth, every bit as “bad” as amazon. Personally I like to have independents but what can you do when amazon offer something for £25 that is £55 elsewhere and even if it is £25 elsewhere you can’t buy it because they won’t ship it.

        Finally, whenever Paul does highlight an offer from HMV, such as the recent, cheap Bowie bundle with slip mat the moans start coming in that it can’t be ordered outside the UK. You just can’t win, so if it is about threading that line down the middle this site gets it mostly right. After all Paul can’t *not* highlight a deal from amazon just because it’s amazon.

  42. Not sure how it works out for you guys in the UK, but amazon.com.au has got a huge range of vinyl buy 1 get 1 free. Pretty much all vinyl that is being sold directly from amazon Australia is in the offer. It ends 2 April. Amazon AU only launched in December so I think there trying to make it here. Not sure if the offer is viable with shipping and conversion of Dollar to pound but might be worth a look at.

    2. Robin, thanks for the suggestion. I live in NZ and tried ordering ANCIANT and the Midnight Oil box sets, but it said they will not ship to NZ. I assumed maybe they were too heavy, so I put 2 regular LPs in my basket, and got the same message. It seems Amazon AU is not a flexible about shipping overseas as the European and north American amazon outlets are.

      2. Paul W, your loss I guess. I bought heaps. For example (all after discount, delivered):

        * Massive Attack – Mezzanine. AUD$6
        * Prodigy – Fat Of The Land. AUD$12
        * Charlatans – Melting Pot. AUD $5
        * Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls. AUD$10.66
        * Pet Shop Boys – Electric. $AUD$12.12
        * Bjork – Greatest Hits. AUD$17.50
        … and on it goes

        Aussie Artists like Sarah Blasko, Cat Empire, Paul Kelly, Crowded House were all ~$15-$20. Most older INXS albums were ~$11.

  45. Amazon UK have the REM Automatic For The People 3CD+DVD box set for £59.99 today (done from £79.99), and the 3CD+DVD Never Mind The Bollocks – 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition by Sex Pistols for £27.99 (down from > £40). A bit better at least ….

    2. Just ordered it myself…waited for the price 2 drop…with VAT removed and shipping…came to $23US and change…killer deal and I wanted the UK one over the US one anyway, for some weird reason, dunno why, I want all the INXS titles on Universal (worldwide label) over the US only label Atlantic/Rhino…I feel the Universal pressing is the original and the US Rhino one is a copy…not their original home… Weird I know but that’s just me…

  53. Perhaps everyone has realised that the ‘Hi Res’ audio on the INXS disc is actually lower quality than CD redbook standards and really badly mastered to boot.

    2. Interesting…the Mansun SDE…had the US version of Attack (on Epic/Sony) and it was good…no more, no less…didn’t think that album would qualify for the SDE treatment in regards to its significance…thought wrong I guess…but their US impact was minimal…

      1. It’s a huge album here. Incredibly significant and this is the first in a series of deluxe reissues. Hopefully Six will be next. Their masterpiece. There was a three disc set of Attack released a few years back which now goes for silly money. Though the track listing on the new edition looks very different so I’ll hang onto my copy!

  57. the omd set sounds awful with quality variying greatly between tracks same goes for the others in the series billy idol and heaven 17

    1. Yep indeed terrible sound and they should have remastered it properly like they did with their compilation albums and at the same time removing that crappy Brides Of Frankenstein mix.

      1. Agree but it’s the only place to get the full Talking Loud and Clear Extended Version which has such a brutal frontal lobotomy on the Junk Culture Deluxe Disc 2. Blank & Jones have said they were forced into the brickwalling by the label and would love to create a 2 CD remastered release of the OMD 12″ and extended mixes. We can only hope their desires are satisfied.
