  1. Undertones singles box was £31.02 briefly today. Worth keeping it in your basket in case it drops back down again in the next few days.

  4. Hello, Paul. Am interested in the two Wet Wet Wet, Def Leppard-Hysteria and George Michael L.W.P.V1 box sets should you become aware of a low price opportunity. Thanks for all the diligent work you put into SDE

  5. I’m on the fence about the Eno set. I want the music for sure but the SDE doesn’t give you any additional musical content. It’s the exact same as the regular 6xcd box which cost $65. If it had more music on it, I would buy it in a heartbeat but now it doesn’t seem justified.

    2. I also am really having reservations about these overpriced “deluxe” editions that are ridiculously priced and only offer additional “trappings.”

  6. that cure price for the box sett looks great ! too bad I am in oz! I think this is the last time I will visit here! I have loved it here and picked up some great deals thanks !

      1. Importcds.com and WOWHD (and Collector’s Choice – part of same group?) all now automatically adding 20% customs/VAT to orders over £15 as Amazon.com do. Started last week. This is a big blow now that Barnes and Noble also have stopped shipping to the EU (including UK) because they can’t cope with the new data regulations. Cheap imports are becoming a thing of the past.

    1. I keep seeing this Undertones box set price going up and down, this morning (8th) it was available from Amazon at £31.20 (available from the 16th July), so I nabbed it. Price is now back up to £60. Very strange. Do they just keep finding them somewhere or something? Wonder if I’ll actually get it.

        1. If it were a repress I would imagine there would be some press from the label that would be picked up on. As it is it seems to be only rumour and hearsay. A warehouse find is more likely, we shall see when it turns up. The barcode will tell all.

          1. Well, it does look as though a 140g repress is certainly getting some talking about. The discogs page looks very authentic and in-depth. Hmmm. Not quite sure how I feel about this, was it worth getting one shipped from the US if it is not the 180g original and if it is readily available….

            I like what seems to have been a bargain as much as the next man, but to find out it isn’t a bargain, just a replica? My Jamie Oliver Kitchen Scales will be getting a work out for the first time since Return to Ommadawn was released at 140g

          2. I have a Mint Sealed Original Tom Petty Box Set from 2009 And have ordered a couple of these ‘Warehouse Finds’ I have electronic scales so will let you know if there’s is a weight differential of 280 grammmes which would mean these are indeed a Repress.
            I find it strange if they are warehouse finds as one of my orders was despatched from Germany and one from America!
            Maybe they found 2 warehouses full of them. I find it hard to believe these are a warehouse find. Do you know the area 1000 of these would take up! You’d get 6/7 in a large 16” x 16” Box so you are talking several van fulls! In 2 separate warehouses!

          3. Well it’s a Repress! Just weighed my original Sealed copy from 2009 on my digital scales and it weighs 2.778 Kilos.

            The 2018 Repress weighs 2.601 Kilos and the Promo Sticker on the Front is a different size too!

            Why Lie about it and say it’s a warehouse find ? When it clearly isn’t and it’s a 2018 reissue?
            Strange the Tom Petty Website didn’t even mention it being repressed!

          4. Mine hasn’t turned up yet and I already feel conned. So even the barcode is the same?
            And before any one says “it doesn’t matter, it’s all about the music”, cobblers, I’ve been collecting music since the early 1980s and versions / packaging / matrix numbers / label colours all matter.
            Why hide it? Why lie? It’s a poor show.

          5. Mine has turned up Nick and it is the same as yours. The 140g “silent” repress…”silent” in that someone, somewhere has successfully conned a lot of people into thinking this was the old 2009 original 180g version. Whichever record company exec. ordered this to happen has successfully got away with it.

            It wouldn’t have been so bad if we were told it was a new version, if there had been press releases and not a “warehouse find” then we could have made up our own minds. But to slip a repress out without telling everyone and make the barcode the same and the sticker say the same thing (180g)…that’s a con.

            It’s like thinking you are buying a lovely 1966 Ford GT40 original and find it’s actually a 2016 model, it’s nice ‘n all but not what you were after. I don’t want a new one.

  16. Hi all,

    I am usually a lurker to this forum but I need to speak up here.
    My recommendation: Avoid the Songs of Experience blue vinyl. Pressing quality is not good – lot’s of ticks and pops. Hope that helps everyone.

    1. That might explain the price. Should you be a person of the 50%-buyers that don’t play coloured vinyl but put in on display or just look at it from time to time be aware that amazon.de probably just matches the price of German marketplace-seller Yeah!-records who has it for 12 EUR + 3 EUR p&p. They only have 2 copies left at that price so when these are gone i think the amazon.de price will rise again.
