A seller on Amazon UK offering Cat Stevens’ Tea For The Tillerman Super Deluxe set for £70 again, which remains an excellent deal.

Mark Knopfler’s new Studio Albums 1996-2007 is £25
George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass (Ltd. 8LP Super Deluxe Box) is £135 (haven’t seen this one drop much below £150 in the UK yet)

Doesn’t look like Crocodiles is being released with the 7″ Do It Clean/Read It In Books single though
OK price on one of my favourite Bob Dylan Bootlegs sets – the really nicely packaged 4CD Another Self Portrait set is down to £61 on Amazon UK.
Just for info, as of Sunday evening (10/10) all of the Amazon deals at the top of this post are still available apart from Mona Bone Jakon.
As expected, the new 3cd Tpau Essential is £5 in Sainsburys supermarket. It’s actually number 5 in their chart.
They still have the promotion of other 3cd Essential titles for £3
Bronski Beat “Age Of Consent” 2cd reissue now only £6.99

Finally got my mega-cheap deluxe edition of Mansun’s Six thanks to this site. Good old Amazon have just stuck the address label right on the shrink wrap so it’s pretty far from “new” condition. Just staggering that they think this is acceptable.
Edit: now opened it and it’s pretty badly damaged. But amazon offer no option to return it for replacement, just a refund, presumably because it’s now full price.
Posted about it on twitter, and they’ve replied saying it’s basically my fault for choosing “packaging that reveals what’s inside” at checkout. Didn’t realise that meant no packaging at all.
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Edition is down to £67 on Amazon UK (not via a market place seller). Been up near £100 for a while.
Suede’s 4CD best or compilation, The Beautiful Ones: The Best Of Suede 1992-2018 is down to £19.
Cat Stevens’ Mona Bone Jakon super deluxe is £80 again.
Tears For Fears’ Seeds Of Love 2CD edition is £11, and the 4CD/BR version is still £32.
And Cherry Red have a site-wide 10% off all releases deal (excludes pre-orders). Code is OCTFLASHSALE10. Some nice bits and pieces in there.
Hi Matt, I’ve just emailed Cherry Red about their 10% off orders not being applicable to pre-orders. I buy lots of stuff from Cherry Red* pre-ordering and paying months in advance and I think these offers are unfair to people who order and pay months in advance.
*I do love what Cherry Red do, the box sets they put out are great and you always receive your orders on the day of release.
Specials protest songs CD amazon alternative cover for £4.99
On amazon UK.
Really good price on the lovely 17CD Lou Reed – RCA & Arista Album Collection on Amazon UK. It’s down to £71.
Was just going to post that here but of course Matt beat me to it. Great deal and great box set!
Thank you Matt for the cue. Ordered.
Feel Flows Box Sets are down to £69 CD and £59 Vinyl on Amazon UK
Not a huge saving but the 2CD edition of John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band (Ultimate Mixes) is down to £12.50 on Amazon UK (it’s been £15+ for ages).
And the excellent 4CD version of Groove Armada’s Twenty One compilation is down to £17.
Sound of Vinyl have some ridiculously cheap deals on the new Specials release (ie “First” pressing vinyl plus SIGNED litho is only £14.99). Great bargains if you haven’t already got this release, but another slap in the face for fans that pre-ordered at full price.
This year’s The Who Sell Out 2CD edition is down to £10 on Amazon UK
I never need to search anymore, just come here for Matt D’s daily updates. Many thanks Matt!!
Midweek reductions at Amazon UK (for artists/labels desperate for a high first-week album chart placing) include The Specials new CD at £4.99 (£5.99 for the deluxe CD, £14.99 for the vinyl) and Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga CD at £4.99.
The various formats of the new Specials album are all in a chart battle price drop from HMV, Amazon, the official Specials webstore etc.
Bowie’s Width Of A Circle 2CD digibook has dropped a few £ and is down to £14.99 on Amazon UK.
Lana Del Rey – Ultraviolence deluxe 2xLP on Amazon IT for €11.69 https://amzn.to/3uylTKG
Great price mate, cheers
Seems to be gone now, sadly. Great price though.
Good deal on Keith Richards Talk Is Cheap 30th Anniversary Deluxe edition , £64 on Amazon UK.
Good to see the price finally dropped in the UK. That’s been on a massive sale in the US for months. For comparison, lowest price here was $47 so hopefully it will hit that low in the UK too.
Unsure how you can call REM’s release a “Super Deluxe Edition”. Even the sticker says “Deluxe Edition”. You could then call any of The Rolling Bones 2CD/BR or 2CD/DVD releases as SDEs. While not [official] definition of a SDE, I would say an overpriced box set with many pages of pictures, ticket replica, maybe a poster or prints as well as other stuff you’ll probably only look at once plus multiple discs of CDs, DVDs, BRs, and/or LPs.
The 2CD us the ‘deluxe’ for me. Therefore the top of the range 2CD+Blu-ray is the super deluxe. It’s irrelevant how good/bad you think it is. It’s a naming convention not a judgement the content/presentation.
There has been many a super deluxe edition released that, if we were being brutally honest, would not be deserving of the moniker. “Cash Cow Edition”? More normally though would it not be…..
Standard
Deluxe
Super Deluxe
Uber Deluxe – rarely used but would fit quite a few super collections.
Amazon lists the 2CD/BR as a “Deluxe Edition”. While the 2CD edition just has the anniversary naming. See https://www.amazon.com/New-Adventures-Hi-Fi-25th-Anniversary/dp/B09BY88JYG Apples and oranges.
As if Amazon are reliable or consistent in any way when it comes to descriptions or details!
I’m looking [in some cases] at the sticker in the image….
And no they are not. The LP link in one case shows U2′ Fire EP released for RSD. You click on the CD and you get the CD from The Spaniels.
The Spaniels? Bonio on vocals, no doubt…
You just had to unleash that pun, didn’t you?
This comment section is going to the dogs.
The Rolling Stones 2CD/DVD – 2CD/Bluray are just repeats of the same old concerts with little variations in the set list presented in digipacks. While I’ll agree the R.E.M. 2CD/Bluray are hardly deserving of the Super Deluxe Edition monicker they at least are presented in higher quality packaging than Mick & Co.
Regarding the R.E.M. Amazon USA offer it work out more than the UK Dodgers price after shipping and VAT are added, over £40 in fact.
The REM deal was primarily aimed at SDE readers in America and so remains a good deal
Yes Paul, I should have grasped that fact.
Of which there are many!!
Amazon UK have a handful of copies of the 2CD 50th anniversary edition of Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman for £9.
The 2 CD 50th Mona Bone Jakon is £5.73 Amazon UK.
Amazon have the 2020 re-recording Tea For The Tillerman 2 on CD for a little over £4 too.
Bob Dylan’s Springtime In New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985) has dipped below £100 on Amazon UK:

Quite good. Thanks!
Of course this is on sale. It’s a very crappy reissue, only completists like me will buy this. It’ll be like Street Fighting Years from Simple Minds; on sale forever. Having said that, thank you Paul, a great price, quickly bagged it! That’s life as a completist for you.
Unfortunately the REM one is no use to us in Northern Ireland. :-( Still, if they’re reducing it in America then they’ll hopefully do so as they usually do ahead of it’s release in the UK.
The latest Jethro Tull reissue, “A”, is only 32 € on Amazon.fr.
