Beatles Revolver Super Deluxe for €68 at amazon.it: https://amzn.to/3UtUyF0
The Let it Be SDE on amazon France is now €45
Bowie – Brilliant Vinyl box is £214 on Amazon UK – lowest so far
The Band – Cahoots and Stage Fright SDEs both ~50% off on AMZ US (now $72 and $77 respectively).
A seller on eBay UK has Bob Dylan’s cutting edge 6 cd deluxe box set for £70 brand new but a 15% off code takes it down to just below £60. I believe the code is now15.
Elton John – Madman Across The Water 50th Anniversary 3CD/Blu-ray SDE $55 on AMZ US (39% off)
For US folks, checkout Rhino.com, 12 days of Christmas, 40% off. Yesterday Ramones, today Sabbath, Depeche Mode to come soon. Also, SOV 30% sale ends soon, same for Udiscovermusic.com. The Depeche Mode 12″ boxes would be around $100 after the 40% off, PTA, Exciter, SOFAD, CTA. Peace.
Acid Jazz have a sale on right now for Matt Berry items:
https://acidjazz.bigcartel.com/category/matt-berry
Resident have another really good sale on at the moment – quite a few very cheap CDs and vinyl. Worth a browse on their website.
yes some great stuff but lots of the stuff in the sale is opened and some have corner dents for the vinyls, worth specifying if you only want sealed and perfect copies. apparently its in their small print.
Blondie – Against Odds deals on Amazon UK. Big box is £227. 8CD box is £79 (originally £90) & 3CD set is only £30 (originally £40)
Not a deal as such but may save somebody some cash. It appears that the Kate Bush Remasters Box Sets are in the process of being imminently re-released. These have been out of print for some time. Some of the vinyl ones are still available on AmazonUK now but the CD boxes and first vinyl box in particular are commanding serious money on Ebay. If anybody is thinking of investing, it may be worth waiting a bit.
Townsend music are accepting preorders for the CD boxes. They are advertised as Limited Editions with a release date of 9th December. Vinyl to follow in New Year.
An astonishing markup on the original release though. I got Part 1 CD box for £30 from HMV, now it’s available for pre-order for £95.
£30 was never the recommended price. I can’t remember the original price but it was quite high, but yeah – all Remaster CD and vinyl sets were on huge discount for a very long time from multiple outlets. I bought mine as the result of an SDE alert – £25 for box 1 and £39 for box 2). I do recall the pricing difference between Box 1 & Box 2 so certainly odd that they both seem to be £95 now on Townsend. Maybe there will be adjustments when they start to appear to Amazons etc.
Got them both in shrink wrap for less than £38. It’s a cash in on `Stranger Things/RUTH’ and I don’t blame them after all, are you ready…”you don’t have to buy them”
Huge reduction on the Let It Be box, down to 44.99 euro on Amazon France.
Excellent, thanks
Eric Clapton Nothing But the Blues Blu-Ray/2-LP/2CD SDE $81 on AMZ US (65% off)

Here’s the link for all the Universal flash sale deals on Amazon France. As well as those mentioned already, good deals for U2, Nirvana, Stones, Iggy Pop and Metallica.
https://amzn.to/3XLx6FN
Thanks for the link. Feel Flows x 4 LP at €29.99 is an excellent price.
Well, they’ve now dropped the U2 set further down to 70 euros from 215.
Apparently customers could leave it behind.
Great link, thanks from me too. Picked up the Feel Flows 4LP plus the Beatles Let It Be Super Deluxe CD box for 81 euros including postage. Around £70 for the two box sets is pretty good value in my book.
Thank you very much, for the notice, I had bought it days ago at another price drop, but not that big. I have canceled it and I have bought it again, despite the fact that the shipping costs went up, it was still cheaper for me. A real bargain. :)))
The Beatles let it be Super deluxe CD is now €45 on Amazon France.
Beach Boys Summer flows Super deluxe CD and vinyl versions also further reduced.

Muse Will Of The People amazon uk red vinyl price dropped to £15.99, seemed to be an ok deal
The Band Music from Big Pink 50th Deluxo @ Amazon US, $51 for Prime members. Cyber Monday deal, so it probably has hours to live.
Level 42 box back down to £22
John Mellencamp Scarecrow SDE $85 on AMZ US (44% off). Says 4 left, more on way…
If you are not enough of a Kinks fan to stump up for the big box Rarewaves has the Knotting Hillbillies/Show Biz 2cd book set at £6.80 now. Both great albums especially at this price.
In addition 4cd Tom Petty Fillmore 97 set at £51.
Thanks Linky – got The Kinks cd, and also bagged Best of Feeder 4 LP set for £16!
Cheers Doadie for following your comment I ordered the best of Feeder for £16/£17 myself, it was too good an album not to pass up on over 4 LPs when you consider the price it would have been originally.
Rarewaves also have the Kinks Lola v Powerman…. SDE (CD) for AUD46 (about GBP 25). Also if you are a Black Sabbath fan, there are heaps of vinyl & CDs discounted – look under The Warner Music CD & Vinyl sale tab
Lastly, not so much of a bargain for UK residents but they also have a heap of those 3CD Crimson Gold sets for AUD 6.99 (GBP 4). Certainly a bargain for us Aussies who pay up to $20 for these on Amazon AU.
(some Gold vinyl in there too for AUD 16.99
Knotting Hillbillies may be a great album but I prefer going a few miles north and listening to Muswell Hillbillies.
Many thanks! Bagged the Kinks and swapped my Tom Petty order from Amazon.de to Rarewaves.
The Buena Vista Social Club 25th Anniversary 2CD is down to £9 on Amazon UK
https://amzn.to/3XEwNwz
I keep being tempted by the box set that is under £30 now, but this is probably a better buy.
Don’t forget the 2 LP, 2 CD and 2 lovely prints available in the “book edition” for £28 and some loose change. I thought I got a bargain when I got it at £50.
As Variety might put it:
PIX AT BRIX FOR SIX…ty.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pixies-Live-In-Brixton-8LP-Boxset-Includes-Translucent-180-Gram-Red-Orange-Green-Blue-Colored-Vinyl/294766483
Bowie – Brilliant Vinyl box is currently only £217 on Amazon UK. Lowest I can remember……
Fans of post-metal and shoegaze should check out the Relapse records sale: all cds US$5, lps US$15 and double lps $20.
Fans of good design should also take a look at the colored vinyl editions, as this label does an extraordinary job of producing discs that beautifully complement the sleeve art.
Over at Cherry Red, they’ve knocked 30% off the already discounted stuff in the bargain bin (almost entirely cds). There are a few nice scores in there for listeners with specialized tastes.
Good deal on the Asia in Asia box set on Amazon US . I imagine just as good on UK site as these seem to be UK sellers.( I have read there are syncing issues with the audio and video on the blu-Ray)
Asia in Asia – Live at The Budokan, Tokyo, 1983 Deluxe https://a.co/7RoYk1m
As others have commented, Amazon’s Black Friday deals for music was/is a very dull affair. Most deals were only a few dollars cheaper.
For those in Australia here are some deals I found, the best being Black Sabbath Sabotage Vinyl SDE $71 (GBP 40), Elton’s Madman Across The Water $82 (GBP 45) (Lightning Deal), The Rolling Stones Tattoo You SDE $83 (GBP 46) for CD version. $120 (GBP 67) for Vinyl box. These are still live however Elton’s is a lightning deal which ends 6pm AWST.
I managed to pick up CSNY Deja Vu for $68 (GBP 38) but that deal’s dusted.
On Amazon IT – good price on Bob Dylan & The Band Basement Tapes Complete 6CD set – down to £66
And Elton John Madman Across The Water 3CD/BR is £45 (not sure how replacement Blu Ray works when ordering from Europe, though, so worth considering).
Sorry if this is old news but the George Michael Older deluxe box set is going for just under £105 on Amazon UK.
Apply the coupon at check out.
Can anyone tell me how easy it is to purchase the Let it be boxset from Amazon France? Will I end up paying import duties? Also how much is delivery to the U.K.?
No import duties. Postage is 3 or 4 Euro I believe.
Thanks Paul
How about VAT as it lands in the U.K. ?
“No extra Brexit-related fees to the UK”… so no.
if its knackered when it arrives do not bother trying to send it back, buy it from amazon uk then send them the crap one back. spent 3 hours this weekend trying to send back some weller illumination damaged LP’s and the hardest part was getting them to agree to pay more than the 7 euros that they say is their maximum amount for return postage then it took about 15 messages to get the return address which incidentally is not in france. They keep directing you to an email address that does not accept emails – total nightmare.
As others have stated Black Friday in the UK has had little benefit for music fans. I suspect that retailers* think that if us music fans can continue to buy music in these harsh economic times we can pay optimum prices.
*The S.D.E. shop being an exception, pity I’m not a Macca completist and was able to resist.
What I found dispiriting was the Amazon sites around Europe seemed this time to have aligned themselves and were offering pretty much the same dreadful music items, where in previous years they went their own ways with Amazon.de and Amazon.fr far outstripping the UK for interesting product. This year, particularly with the UK, it was a real drudge just to scroll the pages. They need to significantly up their game or I’m just going to start streaming (not)!
I was quite taken with the Duran Duran double gold…but at between £42 and 46..plus P&P if I can’t find it locally…£50 is a bit steep for me.
Black Friday & RSD prices have been creeping up to silly money over recent years. I could have bought Duran online this morning but when it sat in the basket at £46 and shipping tipping it over £50 – I just lost the enthusiasm. According to the Rough Trade website, it’s limited to 2000 copies (although their figures have been suspect in the past), but we’ll probably see some interesting Ebay prices on this…
I’m not either but there is a positive in the lack of serious deals in that it gives us more chance to listen for the first time to previous mega box sets that we have purchased as a consequence of logging into this great site and having some money left to purchase Xmas presents for nearest and dearest !
Though hardly a “deal”, the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Fillmore 4CD edition is down a fiver from the pre order price on Amazon U.K.
By preordering I got the 3LP Set for £34, I consider that a bargain.
I just took another look at the ‘deal over’ ‘Level 42 – The Complete Polydor Years Volume Two (10CD)’. It’s back up to £44 but if you look at ‘used & new’ you can get it new for £22.15. It appears to be sold by Amazon with free shipping for Prime members, it’s just that the delivery time is stated as 1-2 months. If you’re not in a hurry, it’s a superb deal at circa £2 per CD! It was actually my Microsoft Edge shopping extension pop-up that alerted me to it or else I’d have probably missed it. Could well be it will be shipped earlier.
Amazon always default to the cheapest ‘in stock’ product. If an Amazon-supplied item is out of stock (ie with a 1-2 month wait time) then the lowest priced in-stock 3rd party item will show up at the top of the pricing list & you have to check the sellers list for the Amazon option. This is how they have always organised things.
The £22 deal is back.
Just noticed Ryan Adams 3cd heartbreaker£4.19 on amazon.apologies if it’s already been mentioned
Thank you Paul and all at the SDE shop! I’d given up on Black Friday as a total damp squib – wasn’t even bothering to look for a bargain anymore. Then your email arrived with a Paul McCartney vinyl sale, and at a stroke I have pretty much bought (subject to your confirmation email) all the remaining albums I had planned to get, and every one at an amazing price!
Plus I even snapped up the Brian Eno blu-ray audio that I had dithered over till it had sold out.
So well done for being the ONLY genuine and worthwhile music Black Friday deal this side of the Atlantic that I’ve seen!

George Michael Older box is down to £105 in HMV sale with DEAL25 code. Amazon UK is price matching by ticking £17 discount voucher box.
anybody got tips for returning damaged items to france, they say they will refund up to 7 euros for the return postage which is about 20 euros short, is there a freephone number or chat facility, could not find anything on the site.
You didn’t specify where you are returning the items to – I guess it’s amazon.fr? Recently I had to return a damaged record (which was sent to me in a brown paper bag) and I didn’t have to pay anything to send it back. They’ll send you a return label to your email, you glue it over the old shipping label and take it to the nearest drop off location.
I’ve also opted for store credit instead of a refund or a replacement (as the item wasn’t on stock anymore).
Contact them via the
Chat’ fascility, they will give you an email address to send a copy of the shipping receipt to. They will also agree to pay you the full cost of return shipping including tracking. Be sure to get tracking because you will most likely have to contact them once the item reaches them for your refund or replacement to be paid/sent. The Euro Amazons can be a pain in the arse over refunds/replacements but you will get them, just be patient. You can only claim shipping costs once the item is returned. I’m waiting for Amazon Germany to refund me around £165 for my Revolver SDE 4LP Set. They sent me the SINGLE LP! It was returned 3 weeks ago, they say it takes up to 30 days. 30 days to click a feckin’ button. That’s German efficiency for you.I guess it takes Royal Mail 25 days to send it back to Germany in the first place… ;-)
Assuming it’s an Amazon supplied item…
You could order the item again from UK and, assuming it’s in good condition when that copy arrives, you keep the UK-supplied one but claim it’s been damaged and return the Amazon France-supplied copy for a refund of what you paid Amazon UK.
You’d end up with the item you want at the price you wanted to pay and in a condition you’re happy with, and benefited from the free returns that Amazon UK offer.
Hope that helps
I’ve dealt with several Euro Amazon returns. The advice from Heraldo is the simplest and quickest. Although it may seem a little morally iffy at first, it is essentially the same company so potentially justified.
As Golden Age of Phonograph said – Amazon.fr would refund eventually, but only after the return has been received and fully processed and then only after emailing postage receipts etc to somewhere else. It’s a pain.
I had to do something a while ago and there was a translate service. It’s definitely become harder to chat to someone on any of the sites now, but you can get there by default on the chat bot usually. I once returned something to amazon.de and they were more generous with the return postage, but maybe 5 years ago. A lot of things are tighter now. With expensive items that could be damaged, it’s probably only worth risking an overseas amazon if it’s much cheaper as there is certainly more hassle.
Hi Tony,
Assume you mean Amazon Fr. I had the same problem a few years back before Australia was geo blocked. I had to return a damaged vinyl box set which cost about $75 in postage to return. I ended up emailing them to confirm that they would honour refunding me the postage. (I was hoping they would just send a replacement free of charge considering the cost of postage lol)
They did refund me once I provided them a receipt of postage paid. Here is a link I found to either chat or email in English. (It was hard to find!!!)
https://www.amazon.fr/hz/contact-us/foresight/hubgateway-csp
This is the problem with ordering from a foreign Amazon site. Returns means losses. I avoid ordering boxsets from foreign Amazon sites. Lost EUR 15 on the Beatles fruit bowl set masquerading as singles. If you are lucky enough to live in the UK you could also be charged for the reimport into EU with VAT and handling charges – the agreements are not reciprocal. What is free to import into UK is not free to export to EU. I get killed every time for goods sent from UK which I could send duty free to UK. Buyer beware or take the chance that Amazon pack it properly.
I had a bad vinyl in my Pink Floyd Animals set back last month. I contacted Amazon.fr via chat, translating my text into French each time. This proved cumbersome and slow, but the agent was patient and suggested I send in English and he would do the translating at his end.
It was still slow and painful, BUT to my great surprise, he gave me a full refund for the faulty product AND said there was no need to return it!
I asked for a full transcript of the chat to be sent which I have; the refund came through promptly, and I still have the set!
Superb service.

Thanks Heinz.
I don’t know much of her music, but know her reputation is very good, and this is another great value purchase. Just when will I get the time to play the various box sets I’ve acquired recently?
Regards,
She has amazing taste in covering songs. She did go a bit MOR for me in this later period and I prefer the earlier Elektra albums, but that set is still very expensive. I hope that you enjoy this and try listening to some of the earlier albums.
I prefer JC
s earlier material to her later stuff which is a bit too MOR for me so Ive passed on that box set but I did realise I didnt have any of her early comps apart from maybe on a few various artist Folk comps. Ive managed to get the Original Album Series of her 5 early Elektra albums on Discogs for £12.Thenks Heinz for bringing my attension to JC.
“A bit MOR and a “bit too Mor “. We clearly come from the same standpoint. I have been tempted by this second set at that price, but would I actually listen to it?
Hi Bruno, my experience with ordering box sets from overseas amazons, I ordered macca flaming pie from US site it arrived 2 days later another set from Germany arrived the next day, both obviously didnt originate from either country, with a little detective work I found that they did come from another country Scotland.
Doesn’t take too much detective work to work out that an item from Amazon.De etc that offers next day delivery isn’t coming from Germany, but from the Amazon warehouse in Dunfermline that deals with a lot of the euro stock. However if you need to return it you have to send it back to the designated warehouse for the country whose site you obtained it from as the Scottish warehouse doesn’t handle incoming items only outbound shipments. Amazon.De returns used to have to be returned to a warehouse in Lithuania.
“Just when will I get the time to play the various box sets I’ve acquired recently?”……….
I understand your problem perfectly!!!!…………:-)
Couple of decent prices on Amazon FR
Beach Boys – Feel Flows CD box down to £48 (£52.60 with delivery)
T.Rex – 1972 CD box down to £42.36 (£46.50 with delivery)
Also, Depeche Mode – 101 box set is £69 (£74.60 with delivery)
The T-Rex box is now on Amazon uk at 41.30
The beach boys set (4 LP) is also available on bravado.de for 58,99 €.
Super Furry Animals Double CD reissue of Guerrilla is currently just under £6 on Amazon UK.
You can go SFA crazy on a budget if you want. The Mwng 2CD and the Rings Around The World 3CD are £8, plus the 2CD Best Of is £7.
I see the Amazon UK Black Friday Sale is the usual load of bollocks. One LP had 1% off! I don’t remember which LP, who’s gonna be interested at 1 feckin’ % off!
“Width of a Circle” now £10.28.
The Level 42 box is still available from Amazon at £22 in the Other Sellers section.
I tried to buy this both times it was available at that price, and Amazon kept saying there was a problem and wouldn’t let me add it to the basket.
The 2021 double disc reissue of Nurse by Therapy? is down to £6.39 on Amazon
Cheers man as I have the deluxe CDs of Troublegum & Infernal Love and was waiting for Nurse to come down in price on deluxe CD.
Amazon.com has Complete Sting vinyl Collection for $275. $75.00 down from $349.00 as Black Friday Special. Not sure how long it will last.
Hi Paul,
another possibility to get The Beatles Let it be Super Deluxe quite cheap for € 65,- at Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/3gsa6em Not as cheap, as the last time, but quite OK, I think.
Thanks, good price.
Now reduced to € 60.
“Let It Be” deal still live, ends 28/11 midnight (2300 GMT).
Hunky Dory Picture Disc £16 on Amazon UK atm
Always the way, I’m waiting for the Ziggy one to come down from £25 as I have all the others , same with Slade splatter discs, all the ones I bought have since come down in price except for Sladest which I still need to buy but still about £25 at the moment
Ziggy picture disc $17.69 at walmart.com!
Target in the US has the 3 for 2 deal again! It includes pre-orders.
If I see it correct is the shipping outside of Poland not possible! :-(
Seal box set with the 10% off on importcds.com only $53! Great deal.
US Deal: Pixies Live at Brixton 8LP $78 via deepdiscount, which is ~ $90 lower than the usual suspects. Use their eBay storefront to avoid the shipping upcharge for heavier items. They’ve put the 8CD version up at Wal-Mart for $33 as well.
I’ll spare everyone the wallet casualty report from the WM pre-Black Friday vinyl sale, which was madness. By some accounts, it was unevenly executed at store level and box sets were ringing up at $15. Grain of salt, etc. There are still some things left online at this price (e.g., half the Zep catalog).
Gosh… George Michael Older box set deal alert. Even though I have already purchased Japanese 2CD version as a compromise thinking that this box set price was totally out of my reach, I could not resist this massive price reduction. Just ordered it.
It shows as “deal over” above, but I am currently seeing the $104.
Bob Dylan’s forthcoming ‘Fragments – Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol. 17’ 5CD set is currently £108.07 on Amazon UK (down from the £129.99 RRP). Not a bargain, but a significant reduction at this stage for anyone wanting it on release day perhaps?
Just noticed the Bowie width of a circle £6.98as well.cant argue with that price
David Bowie Width of a Circle 2CD book case now down to £6.98 on Amazon UK.
It would be rood not to at that price…..
Crazy price. Nearly twice that when I got it and I wasn’t that impressed, but for £6.98 you can’t go wrong.
Bowie amazon.com 86.00 USD Brilliant Adventure CD box. Go, hurry.
Also a reasonable £76 at Dig in UK
It’s £69.99 on Amazon UK in fairness.
Is that with or without the discs? :))
Sehr witzisch… lol :-)
Thanks…now $107.52.
Not music, but music related, Dylan’s Philosophy of Modern Song book currently £19.89 on Amazon.
Yes or you could have bought the advertised as ‘ Hand Signed by Bob Dylan’ version for £500.00 – it is in fact autopenned and Fake and caused outrage worldwide !!!! The Link below makes interesting reading from my friends at Live.AutographMagazine.com

WMG has a Black Friday sale on at https://shop.thisisdig.com/gb/dig/sale/?pdshow=true

‘Closed For Business’, the career spanning 25th anniversary box by Mansun is the latest addition to Burning Shed’s nice price offer on several box sets following the likes of the ‘1969’ set by King Crimson or ‘Who Do You Think We Are?’ by Caravan.
The Mansun box is now available for £125 and of course Amazon.uk has already hopped on the bandwagon…
It has actually been discounted to £125 on Amazon for a few weeks – long before Burning Shed, so not really ‘hopping on the bandwagon’
If that is so i apologise and let Amazon for once off the hook.
Just checked again.
They’re still off the hook because they’re still asking £200 for it.
The £125 offer is from a third party seller…
I think the third party seller is actually Burning Shed by another name. I think Vinylhead is part of the Snapper/Burning Shed family.
However the £125 on Burning Shed does not include VAT – so in the UK you pay £150 (a grand saving of £10 off the normal price on the Burning Shed site) A bit odd as most Burning Shed prices on their site include UK VAT (a sign of things to come ?)
That’s a rather strange move. I’ve just checked and the newsletter for this week stated that as well (£125 plus VAT if applicable)
The other boxes on offer are not affected it seems and out of personal experience i can say that the Caravan-box had the UK-VAT deducted from the £175 offer price when i ordered it (as the total value of my order was more than 150€) but i got a receipt by the carrier and had to pay German VAT afterwards.
Phenomenal price on the 10CD Level 42 Complete Polydor Years Volume 2 – down to £22

Amazing price and spot! Cheers Matt.
Thanks Matt ordered! Looks like deal already done & dusted…
just had email from amazon saying delivery revision 6th Dec22- 6th Jan23♀️
On Amazon UK
Good price on the Bowie 2CD mediabook Width Of A Circle, down to £9.39
And there’s a 3rd party (dispatched from Amazon) selling the ace 2CD edition of David Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name for £5.79
Deluxe 2CD version of Garbage’s No Gods No Monster is £8.20
Pretenders II 3CD is £17.72
that really is an amazing price for Width of a Circle. Thought i’d got a bargain at 13 quid.
It’s even better right now at £6.98 – just got one.
Had my “Let It Be” delivered from Italy – it’s fantastic !! SO glad for the tip off !!! Best (under) £40 I’ve spent on a box yet !!
Mine is due this afternoon. As you say, such a good tip off and one of the best deals for ages.
Got mine on Tuesday. So chuffed. Will listen to the 5.1 surround on Sunday when the wife is out.
Just turned up in a tattered, wet box BUT all good inside the inner box.
Thanks again Roland and Paul.
I was fearing the worst when mine arrived yesterday in a thin, brown paper bag but thankfully, the set was inside a sturdy cardboard box.
Mine arrived monday in superb condition and sounds FANTASTIC!!!!
Mine arrived Wednesday in what looked like a paper bag (!) but contained the sturdy manufacturer box inside. Perfect condition, except for one of the cardboard CD sleeves must have got rammed against the edge of its pocket during transit and has a small nick as a result. Still, can’t grumble for £40.
As others have said, many thanks to @Roland for the original alert and @PaulS for the amplification.
Yep, mine arrived yesterday. All good! Along with the George Harrison ATMP deluxe CD set, Nirvana deluxe CD 30th anniversary set, and the Let It Be vinyl deluxe boxset, these have have been my 4 deals of the year.
Yes I’d have to agree with that as my copy arrived very well packed (Double Boxed) and not damaged !
Blondie – Against The Odds 8CD Box – £79 on Amazon.UK
Was £90 on release. Think this is lowest price to date
Zappas Halloween 81 boxset, complete with mask and cape, is reduced by 41% to £51.99 on Amazon UK at the moment. Lowest price I’ve seen…
Heaven 17 Deals:
Eric Clapton – Nothing But The Blues deluxe set on Amazon.com, currently $74.49
Works out around £92 delivered to the UK including appropiate taxes and shipping.
That’s a decent saving given the best UK price is around £170ish

Air 10,000 Hz Legend 2 CD & Blu Ray £5.60 https://amzn.to/3Ad1Aqj
I also posted this on the actual news item but realized it should probably be posted here as well. The new colored vinyl Rolling Stones mono vinyl box can be bought for $306 if you are a USA resident. Order it from JPC.de, shipping is $4 and they don’t charge the VAT so the total comes out to $306. A bit better than the $450 that Amazon.com is currently charging (taxes not even included!).
Depeche Mode 101 box set $69 on Amazon.com.
King Crimson – 1969 box set €94 on Amazon Italy this morning.
John Mellencamp 5 disc box including blu ray with Atmos mix on sale for $85 on Amazon.com. Also Tom Petty Live at Fillmore box down to $48.
How much are the extra costs now then from outside the uk? If buying from non UK amazon do we get hit with customs charges?
Nothing, if it’s under £150.
Hi Paul, I think the value is £135. As I understand it, under that value the online seller is responsible for the tax. Above that value and it shifts to the individual, and you end up paying the duties, VAT and dreaded handling fees.
I investigated the possibility of buying the Tom Petty Fillmore set from Amazon.com at the USD48 price and was quite excited to see that they would sell and ship to the U.K.. At checkout they levy VAT on the total price, including shipping, making saving marginal at current exchange rates..
It’s about £50 from Amazon DE if that’s of any interest.
Thanks, will take a look.
I thank you, even if my bank balance doesn’t…
Music Magpie selling Beatles Revolver 5CD for £91 on eBay (it’s £113 with a 20% discount code available).
Thanks Matt, just treated myself , that takes it to right price I think ( not that I’ve seen it yet lol )
A snapshot from my Amazon basket of 3 items I’m waiting to buy….
The Frankie one looks real bargain for such a unique recording!
Start spreading the newa … ;-)
* news
Blew that one rightly.
I laughed. :)
At least you did it…. Your Way!
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like… relax don’t do it, when you want to go to it…
Burning Shed have some items on sale at present:

I just got an email from amazon.it, that they had to cancel my order, because the price was a mistake…
Anyone else, who ordered it?
Sorry to hear that Roland, I suspected this would happen. There’s gonna be a lot of disappointment around here.
Not yet but I am expecting one
Just received confirmation that my copy has shipped. Should be here tonight.
Me too …
Mine is also on its way (arrived in the UK this morning); Roland, what a shame, especially as you were the one who alerted us to this deal.
Sorry to hear that Roland, mine is saying shipped. arriving Thursday 17th. We’ll see….
Mine shipped as well like Pim’s, also for delivery today. I think it may only be those of us who paid for the extra speedy delivery who got it as they couldn’t cancel when they realised their mistake.
Good note for future Amazon misprices, pay a few quid extra for the fast delivery to make it more difficult for them to backtrack.
I’m so sorry you’re not getting yours Roland, especially since you spotted the deal.
That’s always a good tip for deals. Pay extra for the fastest shipping!
Mines shipped (….or my pizza is ready, possibly….) and is arriving 16th, I didn’t pay for the faster delivery, so it seems acceptance of the order was a bit of s lottery…
Had confirmation that mine will be delivered on the 14th , fingers crossed
Mine has not been shipped yet, but I did not receive an e-mail saying my order was cancelled. It is supposed to arrive next wednesday. Fingers crossed.
It seems they are maybe doing them in batches. This morning when I read some were being dispatched, arriving today or that Roland’s had been cancelled, I’d also had no notification either way. Notification finally arrived 12:30ish to arrive Sunday.
Thanks for all the nice replies and I´ve to make a short update: I just reread the mail from Amazon.it. again and noticed that I didn´t read/translated it exactly. I ordered two box-sets for me and my daughter and they just canceled the second one, cause of the wrong price. They said, they would make an exception and ship per customer one for the given price. So if you just ordered one, you should have got no amazon-notification and hopefully will get it for this amazing price.
Good news Roland. I have been checking and have not had an email cancelling, nor any notification of shipment. It does still say due on the 18th though, so fingers firmly crossed.
That
s great to hear, Im glad Amazon Italy are being honest with this great deal. I thought I`d done well only paying around £50.Mine arrived this afternoon, thank you once again Roland for spotting this absolute bargain and also a huge thank you to Paul for sending the email notifying us all of said bargain.
I ordered 2 copies too (one on behalf of a friend) and it seems I got away with it as they were both shipped.
Mine has arrived – ordered from the UK and delivered to the UK in less than 24 hours.
In my excitement at receiving it, and so quickly, I neglected to say a big thanks to Roland and Paul for the alert. So a belated THANKS! – that’s quite some deal!
My one arrived too
I got an email about mine but as it was all in Italian I wasn’t sure if mine had been cancelled but having pasted the text into Google translate I found mine’s on the way so happy days!
My order is still open at the moment?
Mine has arrived too – faster delivery is a good idea ;-)
My LIB box was delivered this (Saturday) afternoon.
Many thanks to Roland (for the spot) & Paul (for the email).
If the situation happens, I owe you two gents a pint!
Rory Gallagher Deuce 50th Anniversary 4-disc + book is £48, down from £67 on Amazon if that’s any use to anyone… except me.
The Beatles deal is over… That was short…
The link takes me to my Amazon UK app and then asks me what country I want. When I change to Italy, will it just allow me to order through my existing UK account? Never tried it before.
The deal is now over, so it’s a bit academic!
Oh well. Imagine how many they’d have sold if it’d been that price in the first place!
If they can afford to sell it at that price, well, just sayin’…
Thanks for the tip – set ordered, just short of £39 with postage to the UK. I think my Italian must be better than my French, as I could understand most of the order details
Yeah, thought I was gonna have problems, but managed to recognise some words.
Caravan fans might be interested to know that last years magnificent box set, Who Do You Think We Are is currently available from both Amazon UK and Burning Shed for just £175!!!! That’s a £100 saving!!! The third party seller on Amazon also has the massive John Mayall box set at the same price! Unbelievable! I guess these are end of stock items, so get your “skates” on if you want one.
Wish I could have the Caravan set, but lack of storage space and having had to spend well over £500 on car repairs recently means that I am out on this one; will just have to make do with my smaller Decca/Deram Years collection.
Thanks for the tip always fancied delving into Caravan so here’s a golden opportunity – at 175 quite a saving, although wouldn’t have or couldn’t justify 275 – apparently reading elsewhere the mastering and sound is better on your set but you can’t go wrong with the content. Thanks again.
Roland and Paul thank you very much!
Even though I have the double CD version I decided to jump on this offer as it’s about half the price that my local record shop is selling it for in their sale at £75
Missed out on the Tull A la Mode box deal but this has more than made up for it!
Less than £40 including postage.
Bargain!
Thanks for that.
Beatles “LET IT BE – 50 ANNIVERSARY – BOX SUPER DELUXE 5CD + BLURAY AUDIO” for € 39,- at amazon.it: https://amzn.to/3G6lnvq
Great spot! Thank you Roland.
Many thanks Roland, couldn’t say no at that price
Hard to say no at that price,a real bargain.
Thanks Roland
Exactly ! I just bought it, it’s an amazing price, thank you very much !! It was worth the wait ! Now, if somebody could find that for Revolver…
Thank you Roland! Ordered.
bagged one thanks!
Thanks so much Roland, now ordered
Very much appreciated Roland, and thanks to Paul for sending out the email highlighting it. Could refuse at that price. Now I’ll just wait from them to hopefully fix the Revolver box set with a Blu-ray.
Thanks Roland and Paul for the email. Bought for £38.92 including postage.
Thanks Roland!
Thanks so much. I’d been holding out for a price drop on the LIB set but never thought it would drop sub £40 so an instant buy.
Now begins the long wait for a similar price drop on Revolver…
Thanks to Roland for the tip and Paul for the e-mail alert.
I’d been waiting for this to drop below £60 – so less than £40 including postage to the UK was a no-brainer :)
Nice one, many thanks for flagging that up.
Thank you! My order went through so fingers crossed. :)
Fantastic spot Roland, I have ordered and straight after the deal is over!!
Thank you for this. Was going to pull the trigger and order on Rarewaves (approximately £68.00) but this is a no brainer.
Great, thanks! Just got one in time. Guess there will be a dedicated lorry of them crossing the channel soon, thanks to you!
This may be of limited interest to people, but Lee Morgan’s Complete Live at the Lighthouse 8 CD set is currently £16.94 on Amazon UK. It’s a fantastic price for a great set and easily the cheapest it’s been since release.
Savage. €42 delivered with my €5 off voucher. Thank you very much!
This is a bigger and better bargain than The Beatles ‘Let It Be’ CD/BR SDE and I’m a Beatles fan who has everything by them.
Nabbed, thanks – great spot
Made me go through my Jazz wish list and found this one, 67% off, from the awesome Charles Lloyd
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BEIIUE0/?coliid=I14F9W15ZN0MUN&colid=3YN13GO3RRAQ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Thanx a lot timtunes! Great bargain and even greater set. Just bought it.
Oh! Thanks bOOgie ; – ))
Excellent. Thanks.
Thanks for highlighting the Lee Morgan deal. I looked at this for a long time, didn’t buy it; and then the price went up. My money today went on this and the Charles Lloyd set that timtunes highlighted rather than The Beatles deal.
Dodgy A&M Years 8 CD box set with signed card now a snip at £32 on Amazon UK. This started north of £50 and is also very fine!
Bowie Brilliant Adventures CD box is down to $88.88 in the US.
Elton Jewel Box is now £40 from HMV in their Flash Sale.
Blondie Against the odds down to £224 on Amazon UK today
Amazon selling the Neil Young Official Release Discs 13, 14, 20 & 21 box for £29.99, which is decent if your collection is specifically missing the 3 albums and EP in it. Not worth it if you own any of the CDs from it already as none are remastered etc.
I never really understood the pricing of the disk 5 to 8 set, which always seemed extortionate.
Archives II is at a pretty good price of £80 or so…
For readers in the US, there’s another DeepDiscount via Walmart steal: The Pretty Things Live at the BBC 6cd box set with a 50 page booklet, shipped for US $13.38 plus tax.
Currently just two copies left in stock at Walmart, though you might be able to order direct from DD for a few dollars more.
Beatles Revolver Super Deluxe CD box is £95 from MusicMagpie on eBay UK (code is TAKEIT10)
Marillion back on again….. £65 and some pence
I expect the Blondie Box Set to keep dropping, it was only £210 when it was first anounced on the blondie web site, it was only when other retailers started pushing the prices up that the blondie site followed. I bought the red vinyl box set for £230 when thye black vinyl was at £210
The Blondie big box has now dropped further on Amazon UK to £233 as at 11pm on 4th
Matador Records EU/UK site have a 25% discount on stuff until 22 November. Code is AUTOMATON. Worth a browse.
I was in Fopp (Shaftesbury Avenue) last night and they had a huge sale of jazz vinyl classics – prices were £10 – £13 I think. I expect HMV may have same deals as they own Fopp
DOL releases. Mastered from CD, using sketchy copyright laws to ‘re release’. A good way to pick up some rarer stuff on vinyl, but for your regular classics, Miles Davis etc, I tend to go for the original label, Colombia, EMI etc. Usually better art reproduction and source of master.
Do you know this for a fact or is it an assumption? I was thinking it was likely to be the exceptional DeAgostini versions again, as HMV have been selling them many times.
Edit: I’m getting mixed up – it was Zavvi selling them, not HMV.
Don’t DeAgostini have a bad reputation for sound quality issues?
No, quite the opposite. The jazz series were all exceptionally good. I think the current Bob Dylan series has been extremely well received as well.
The Bob Dylan pressings sound amazing. Nice and flat too. Pressed by MPO I believe
It’s usually easy to spot as the DOL logo will be on rear cover. I once bought Miles David ‘ A kind of blue ‘ from HMV and returned as it was very poor sound quality. As Jan said best stick to Columbia recordings etc
For those in the US, the Barnes & Noble Criterion sale is on again. All Criterion Blu-rays, DVDs, and 4K UHD discs are 50% off, both online and in stores, through November 28. Includes several music-related titles (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Band, etc.).

Bowie´s “Brilliant” LP box set back at almost same low price, early Friday @ 237 GBP.
Rarewaves have restocked the massive 26 disc King Crimson Complete 1969 Recordings box set at £71 on their own site.
Aware that some folk have had issues with that seller but I ordered this at that price a couple of weeks ago and it turned up unblemished in a couple of days, so I can’t fault them.
I bought one too for £71 and it arrived pretty quickly with no issues whatsoever.
Never had an issue with rarewaves that couldn’t be traced back to the Royal Mail
Not sure if this belongs in here but Elton John limited edition Marmite, £2.65 , 50p from each goes to his foundation, fab idea

Rammstein’s Mutter album is currently under £23 on Amazon UK, about a tenner less than its usual price on vinyl….
Talking of Paul Young, saw him at the weekend in London with his sideline band, Los Pacaminos. Brilliant stuff. I’m ashamed to admit I had never come across them before, yet they are celebrating their 30th anniversary!

Honorable mention to auto-correct, which came up with Disco Boulanger…
The Utopia vinyl must have gone fast! I only see it for $18 and backordered…
udiscover music’s US site is running a ‘holiday sale’ through Nov 23. 30% off sitewide (excludes pre-orders, recent releases like the Beatles Revolver, etc.). Still worth a gander.

Brilliant! Thank you.
Jethro Tull’s “A” appears to be longer available at that low price…
… Grrr… that should have been “… appears to be NO longer available at that low price.”
Back down again today.
Indeed… right now (Thursday, November 3, 2022 at 1:21 p.m. eastern time North America) is is £17.35.
Thanks so much re the Supergrass. I think like others, I went on a buyer’s strike at the mish-mash that was CD2 – all those remixes and interspersed live stuff – just give me a live CD and some unreleased stuff!
Sorry to see the Tull so cheap – the sales must have been horrible as the set is excellent – and the live CD outstanding. It may dissuade Ian from giving lesser selling albums like Under Wraps the attention it/they deserve (which in Under Wraps’ case would involve wholesale replacing the appalling synth drums with actual acoustic – or triggered acoustic samples)
That’s been my hope for Under Wraps, offering a bonus edition of the album that basically keeps the vocals, flute & guitars but updates/replaces the synths and drums completely. Kind of like what Floyd did with Momentary Lapse of Reason but even more so. I can hear the well written songs trying to break out, but man it is a hard listen in execution…
I may be in a minority of one on this, but there are a number of 80s albums which, for me, would be much poorer if the 80s electronic drums were to be replaced with ‘real’ drums. Under Wraps is one of them – I actually think it’s the songs which are lacking here. Others which come to mind are: ‘Subject’ by Aldo Nova, ‘Behavior’ by Saga and Danger Zone by Doc Holiday. I apologise if these examples are a bit niche.
Under Wraps, like all the other JT deluxe editions, will be an autobuy regardless.
I do agree with your concern though re deluxe editions for lesser selling JT albums.
Emerson Lake & Palmer – Out of this World Live 7 CD box is down to only £28 on Amazon UK. Bargain if you like that sort of thing….
Queen’s “News Of The World” 40th anniversary box set is on Amazon UK for £68.79. Seeing as many Amazon accounts have been sent £5 promo credit offers, that’ll bring it to under £65 for many.
Thanks for the Amazon Germany vinyl deal alert. Picked up the recent Kinks super deluxe for £110. Cheers.
Thanks for the deal alert on the Bowie box,
Bought it for my mum who has the other 4 of them. Been watching it for months myself hoping it would go to £200 but I doubt that with the way vinyl prices are going up , thanks again.
Can we adopt you?
Haha, that was a good reply liked that!. I also got her the Beatles in Mono when it came out don’t think it was even £200 as a pre order and she hasn’t opened it. Wish I’d have got myself one at the time. We did go half each on the Uber All Things Must Pass though!. Buts it’s too big to store at my small place!, so in reality she’s claimed that!.
Was going to send in that Bob Dylan Mono Box was £55 on Amazon. but I wasn’t quick enough myself!!!!!!
Oh was that the cd box? I did get this as bargain a while ago, loaned it to my daughter, not seen it since!
Animals 2018 deluxe is 50 Euro at Amazon.de with an automatic discont . During check out you get aditional 9.52 Eur discount
Several albums are reduced in price on Amazon.de at the moment (including deluxe editions), i guess it has to do with German retailers Saturn and Media Markt offering everything that they have in stock with a 19% (German VAT) discount.
As this offer ends on Monday morning i guess you can find similar offers on German Amazon for the time being.
The problem once more is that you only duscover the discount when looking on an items product site.
If you’re having a wish list it can make sense to look the products included up on Amazon’s web site.
I found on the box set front e.g. Frank Zappa And The Mothers Live 1971 (8 cds) for 60€, Beach Boys / Feel Flows (5 cds) equally for 60€ or the Waiting For Columbus 8 cd-set by Little Feat for 73€.
Amazon Uk have the Cd/Blu-ray boxset of Porcupine Tree’s latest album at £40. Cheapest I’ve seen it.
Thought that was supposed to be exclusive to their store and thought I was lucky to get a copy via JPC. Paid EUR 56 for it.
Not a bargain as such, but U2’s Achtung Baby coloured vinyl seems to be available again (recordstore.co.uk, soundofvinyl, etc.). Good news if you missed out, bad news if you’re trying to currently sell one on eBay for silly money :)
Madonna – Finally Enough Love 3CD is £11.99 on Amazon UK
Thanks Matt, been waiting for that to come down a bit in price. Not so fussed on the later stuff on the 3rd disc but for £12 it was a hard one to ignore
Gomez – Bring it on 4cd 20th Anniversary edition is for sale on Rarewaves for £9.39 at the moment. It shows the wrong cover (however, I did order it and it is the correct set).
https://www.rarewaves.com/products/0602567113980-bring-it-on
Cheers Rushy, I couldn’t resist this one, I just hope they deliver as rarewaves are notorious for stuff not appearing so here’s hoping.
Hi Stevie
Yes, I think a lot of people have had problems with Rarewaves. I have bought from them several times and although they take a couple of weeks to arrive, they always come. I contacted them once and I’m sure they replied the next day. So hopefully your Gomez set arrives (it’s very good!)
The site says it’s now sold out.
Music Magpie via their eBay store have 20% off The Beatles – Revolver 5CD boxed edition bringing it down to £88.75 which though still expensive is quite possibly the cheapest UK price on release day.
I assume they only had a few. I don’t see any now. Oh well.
I used to buy from MusicMagpie regularly, until items started to arrive damaged. Pot luck I know, but be careful with them as you can only contact them via email, and it’s slow. The hassle is sometimes not worth it. Same with Chalkys and Rarewaves etc. Out of the three discounts they have, 10%, 15%, 20%, the 20% one is the better deal. Got loads over the years using that one. It’s hit and miss as always.
I’ve found that Rarewaves & MusicMagpie tend to sell a lot of warped vinyl although the ones I’ve bought have always been unopened/still in shrink wrap. Maybe they buy up known faulty batches, I don’t know.
In the case of Rarewaves I haven’t had any issues getting refunded and very quickly to give them credit. On two occasions I was told to keep the faulty LPs, they did play OK but the resale value was nil.
As it happens I’ve just received a warped double LP from MusicMagpie and have supplies pics of the warped LP. They informed me a return label would be supplied in 5 days. I’m not worried about the refund it may take a while but I’m double covered with PayPal who are payed via my credit card.
I’ve been sent some discount codes from official artists sites as it’s my birthday. I hope that someone can use them, I’m not sure if they’re one use only.
Queen – QUEBIRTHDAY10 10% off
Taylor Swift – BIRTHDAY10 10% off
Rolling Stones – RSXBDTRAFK820 20% off
Family ‘At The BBC’ 8 disc Box Set £49.99 @Amazon U.K.
They’re matching the offer on burningshed.com, where you can buy it for the rest of this year for that price with this.
Burning Shed have a sale on right now with all sorts of goodies; music, T-shirts and mugs etc. Pick of the sale has to be the mammoth King Crimson – The Complete 1969 Recordings box set, down from £134 to just £90. A snip!
For those inclined – Rod Stewart , The Studio Albums 1975-2001. 14CDs for £44 on Amazon UK. I’m not familiar with the set personally so not sure how much of a deal this is, but £44 for 14CDs seems a more than reasonable price?
Thanks for the info johnb!
That’s £40 I wasn’t going to spend.
Luckily my other half is working away from home so she’ll never know!!!
Hope it don’t work both ways
I was browsing HMV Winchester,Hants store two weeks ago and they had a copy of this Elton John Deluxe set hidden behind their counter reduced to around £ 40.I remember looking it over and nearly bought it,but ended up changing my mind as I wasn’t too keen on all those early demos and b-sides it mainly contains..No idea if they still have it.
HMV stores have an annoying habit of hiding away behind their counter many of their unsold older deluxe editions, so if you do not ask them you do not always realise they have them.HMV regularly fail to display some of their oversized stock,then seem to not workout the reason they aint sold them is most browsing customers had no clue they had them.I have found both the Associates deluxe, Go West deluxe,REM at the BBC deluxe box,Nightwish live deluxe Cd/vinyl/Blu-ray set, and a trully fabulous old Marc Almond 10 cd Deluxe by accident in my local HMV’s in recent months.None were on display and I only discovered them because a staff member was delving in their behind counter cupboards for some other product I was after.
Back in 2019 I asked at my local HMV about the Creedence Clearwater Revival Vinyl Studio Albums box set that someone had said was behind the counter in their local HMV shop. Yup they had a copy hidden out back and yup it was £74.99 for what is a beautiful set that was what on release? £180 or so?
Hidden. Out the back. Hopeless.
If you look over your right shoulder whilst paying at the counter in HMV Winchester, you should see at the end of the main CD aisle, a stash of box sets. It’s my local HMV and I bought Wilco’s YHF deluxe edition from there a couple of weeks for £100. I was aware that it would (and since has) fall in price on Amazon, but these days I’m a firm believer in redistributing the wealth where possible – HMV, Bandcamp, independent shops, independent online retailers – and not just hitting the “Add to basket” tab on Amazon. Sometimes they just can’t be beaten on price and on the occassions where I buy something featured on this site, I always click the SDE links.
Spread the wealth by all means,but IV got a vivid memory of HMV spanking me hard for £15 on every cd I bought in 1985 when I was skint so like most people I buy where it’s more affordable!!
It’s not 1985 anymore.
The thing that puts me off HMV is the minimum spend of 20 quid to ensure free postage. And as the average new release is £12.99 (or £18 tops for a movie) I just end up waiting till there are actually two items I want. They must lose a lot of trade that way…
They also have a stash of various bookshelved deluxe editions behind the counter too.That’s where I saw the EJ one.It stood out because of its green cover. Many of these do not reveal the artist so impossible to work out who most of these are.Why they are making no effort to sell them is a mystery!
Discount voucher is just below the £79.99 price tag.
For readers in Austria and Germany:

Sorry to put this here, but in someway it’s quite a deal…….:-)
Never expected that someone mention Georg Danzer on this site. “schurli” was amazing.

Why not? This site has a community of readers from all around the world.
I can even remember Paul writing an extra entry for Udo Lindenbergs SDE-box (featuring only songs in German) with most of his former works some years ago…
Ordered.discount was applied automatically at checkout.will go well with the madman box from earlier in the year
I’m not looking to buy the Elton box, so it’s not a big thing, but for the life of me I cannot see any £40 voucher on the item page. It’s worth noting that it has long been available for £40 on HMV when you apply their Flash50 50% off code, which has been ongoing for most of this year, at the very least.
It does look a lovely set though, and the book looked especially great in the SDE unboxing video.
Edit: See it now. Why do they hide it like that?
Just waiting for the ‘SDE Deal Alerts’ for the Beatles Let It Be and Abbey road to go to £50 each, which I got Sgt Pepper and The Beatles SDE’s for!
Not going to happen is it!!
Beatles Let It Be box is now frequently turning up cheap at record fairs in UK. Saw plenty at last month’s Victoria record fair in London priced between £40/£45 – so there’s a surplus out there somewhere. Good scope for future Amazon discounts here I would have thought.
Abbey Road has been cheap several times in the past. Got mine from Music Magpie on Ebay when one of the 20% discount promotions – think I paid £44 for it. This one – like the Pepper box and the White album- seems to be increasing in price so I wouldn’t expect much discounting on this in future. If you see it cheap. go for it now whilst it’s still around
Got mine off Amazon about 2 years ago for £55. I think you may have to be flexible about your £50 budget!
rarewaves.com currently offers the ‘Let It Be’ set for £67,50, which was cheap enough for me to pull the plug.
Really wish the Depeche Mode “101” box would drop but it seems cast in stone at £120.
I’m not paying that as the set is far from perfect as it is…
Thanks Paul,managed to get the Elton box.
PS you also get Autorip with the £10.99 Elton John Regimental Sgt. Zippo [VINYL] on Amazon U.K.
Elton John
Regimental Sgt. Zippo [VINYL] in stereo is £10.99 on Amazon U.K.
Thanks for the heads up on Elton John Paul! Grabbed one!
Ker-ching on the Elton box set! Thank you Paul.
The Japan Album is back in stock at Amazon from Amazon so anyone who wasn’t honoured with the £15 pre order may think it’s worth a shot phoning them and quoting your order number ! . As a lot of folk got it at £15 originally and they cancelled saying no stock, now they have stock. Good luck.
Worth a go I guess
Would love to get the Elton set but the voucher doesn’t come up for me. Must be just for UK customers. Oh well maybe next time
Found the deal! Thanks all.
That’s not a bargain £80 for the Elton John box set !! It says £80 so what happened to it being reduced to £40 on Amazon ? ? ?
It’s still £40 if you read and follow the instructions.
Found it now, why do Amazon have to complicate things ?
Great stuff… and I don’t know!
Perhaps Stephen doesn’t live in the UK? There is no voucher visible for those of us in the US. (I already own it, but clicked the link out of curiosity.)
I considered that, but I think he does.
Go to other sellers. There’s an option to buy from Amazon EU and click on the £40 off box.
Thanks again Paul great deal! Had a separate £5 Amazon voucher for spends above £15 which Amazon generously applied to take price down to £34.99!
Cheers Paul – managed to grab one
I couldn’t see the Elton tick box at first as Amazon was throwing up a different seller. If you go to “all buying options” the Amazon discount is in that group. For £40? Rude not to.
Thanks Chris, i have now found it thanks to you ♥
Also with voucher discount (30 GBP) on Amazon UK: U2 – All That You Can’t Leave Behind (20th Anniversary – Super Deluxe) (5xcd), now just under 50 GBP.
Short and not so sweet deal, by the looks of it!
The deal is still active just tick the box next to the price to apply the voucher.
But only with an Amazon Prime subscription.
