I’m happy my Stones deal was selected. I bought the box set friday morning and immediatly emailed SDE about it. I received my order saturday morning and it’s perfect. 2 CD + DVD + BR + Book (in english of course) for €19, it’s a bargain. The kind of Super Deluxe Edition we all love.
In France, summer sales started on june 27 and the Stones’ Havana Moon box set was included on friday. I also bought Morrissey – The Very Best Of (CD + DVD) for €6, OMD’s Access All Areas CD+DVD for €5 and Film Soundtracks by Epic Soundtracks for €5.50.
Sadly, Morrissey’s Best Of is no longer available at that price but you can still buy OMD and Epic Soundtracks if you’re interested.
About the Rolling Stones, Havana Moon’s gonna be back in stock july 7 but the price’s gone up and it’s €26 (instead of €19).
Fnac.com also has some great deals currently with summer sales :
Paul McCartney – New (LP) for €10
The Traveling Wilburys Collection (box set with 3 LPs and 16 pages booklet) for €60 (original retail price is €150)
Grace Jones – Warm Leatherette (box set with 4 LPs and 12″ booklet) for €31 (original retail price is €80)
Now I can order the set, but, of course now, it’s out of stock! Import fees and postage would’ve been £43 all in. You have to laugh or otherwise.
Tried to order Paul Mccartney’s 4LP set from Amazon.com, but says it can’t ship to my address? Never seen this before. Unless I’m missing something? At time of writing, there’s only one set left, and it’s creeping up in price now anyway. Very frustrating.
From Amazon directly, or from a third-party vendor?
Undertones back up in price
Hopefully will come back down
Got all the originals but would be nice to have the box set
Undertones back down at £31.50. Grab one quick.
Just checked it’s showing as £60 now
You can still FWIW get the main meat of the Bowie box in some HMV branches sell offs, for only £68 total.
ie £16.99 each for Low / Heroes / Lodger / Scary Monsters LPs.
The problem with these price drops (which are great, btw) – at least for us outisde the UK where the postage isnt FREE – is that when that happens (as was the case with the Undertones today), by the time I can find at least another few items that are currently attractive enough for me pricewise to buy, the price of the item I was initialy interested in (in this case – the Undertones) has already gone back up…….so really its all about several things that ought to coordinated for me to make it worthwhile…..
Sounds almost impossible for Paul to do that, doesn’t it?
If you’re in the US, the VAT gets removed from the price and this is generally about the same cost as the shipping – in other words, the price drop about GBP3 which is about what the shipping costs.
@xymox970:
That’s why i always have some stuff that is of interest to me in the “save for later” compartment on the amazon-sites where i order from regularly.
