    1. I just saw that and I was so proud of getting it from Germany where it worked out to about 88 quid. Wonder why it took so long to drop. I was also going to get A New career boxset but its rocketed update from 81 to 95 quid on amazon. Ouch.

  3. Pretty good deals today from Coda Records in Edinburgh who have 25% off everything. They have an Amazon shop for browsing whats available.

    1. I ordered the Metallica set – despite saying it was the four disc, what I received, and now have to send back, was the RSD 2LP red vinyl version. Amazon no help at all with a replacement, only refund.

      1. David Harold;
        It was sold by a third party seller, wmdservices. That’s why you’ll have been given a refund rather than replacement
        I ordered a rare Duran Duran live CD from them via Amazon for about £22 and received some Blue Oyster Cult album that I’d never heard of on blue vinyl. I complained to Amazon and, like you, was refunded and asked to send the wrong item back. Within a week the CD was back up for sale at £46. To say I was angry is an understatement
        I suspect that Metallica album will either disappear from Amazon listings and reappear at a higher price. If I was you I would complain in the strongest terms to Amazon customer service and tell them that you are aware that this seller has done this sort of thing before. It’s bad enough that sellers screw buyers on eBay when they’ve sold something for less than they wanted, but for it to happen on Amazon is beyond contempt

      2. Me too. Packaged up ready to return today. I did reorder again this morning but if you’ve also been sent the same wrong version then I guess it will happen again so I’ve cancelled.

    2. The same happened with the order I made, I received the two disc red vinyl RSD version instead of the advertised/listed four disc vinyl box.
      On the positive side, I raised this with amazon customer service and they said the same as others have experienced, they can’t replace the item for the one that is listed but they offered a full refund, told me to keep the two disc version and as a gesture of goodwill credited me a 10 quid amazon voucher.

      Happy New Year.

  6. I got the Beatles (finally) in HMV two days ago for £99.99, and then exchanged it yesterday when the original one was damaged). Got number 22,658.

    I have noticed physical music sets seem to have dropped in price more consistently recently and that coupled with the recent news that it looks like HMV are going to disappear from our high street, and I wonder what future we have……:(

    It depresses the hell out of me :(

    What are my daughters going to do in the future?

    Paul I think we’re of similar ages, and I know you’re busy, but it would be interesting maybe at some point to look at the history of high street music retailing – virgin, our price, tower records, woolies, HMV, independents.

    What the hell happened to us?

    1. Check out the book Going For A Song by Garth Cartwright. It’s a history of British record shops and a great & interesting read. Probably available from Amazon, ironically!

  7. Shoot me down if anyone so wishes, but I never understood who that GnR box set was aimed at. As others have said with a ‘limited’ run of 10,000 and price point of £850/$1000 it was never going to be rare or desirable. Vast amount of content but it would almost take a lifetime to get through it all! Plus, at the end of the day it’s all connected to ONE album. The Nazareth box even at its full price was exponentially better value and covered pretty much a full career. Yes it had a CD/vinyl mix but that sort of thing just seems to bother purists.
    Now that this big wooden box is selling for around half price I wonder if the marketing genius who dreamt it up is still working for the company…..

  12. Hey PAUL

    The GnR “Locked n Loaded” is only $499.99 on their own website

    gnrmerch.com

    Not sure why you didn’t post my post yesterday about it.

    Still in my opinion too expensive considering there are 10,000 of these available, making it uncollectable.

    Now if it goes it $299.99 I’ll buy it!!

  14. I think I might buy the uber-boxset of Appetite era, if it came down to more reasonable price like 100€ or so. I have the original vinyl and can access all the songs on streaming services while waiting for the price to come down..

    1. How much was it originally? I recall some folks claiming is was an ‘investment’ as it was a ltd piece, doesn’t look to have been much of an investment!

  20. Does anyone know if these SoftCell boxes contain the corrected DVD?

    I cannot get over the Soft Cell box set price. I already have one (from Amazon.de) for a decent price but it is not available at all on Amazon.com so for that price I decided to buy it again. I highly recommend all American Soft Cell fans to jump on this. It’s completely not available in the USA. It was supposed to be released end of November on amazon.com but it never happened. Probably because there wasn’t any meaningful volume left. I figured I can always sell it here in the USA. Price is exactly $62 if you order it in UK Pounds and use the credit card conversion. Amazon always screws your on the conversion rate.

    Happy Boxing Day all!!

      1. And here’s the funny thing, I think it is fine. Either my ears are shot to pieces or maybe I am just not so picky or obsessed, but I think it’s a decent set and at £55 it is the definition of no-brainer. My guess is they still contain the original DVD but that should still be available to get a replacement. My replacement came through quite quickly from the first batch.

        1. I thought it sounded fine too. I don’t see what the fuss is about. Now the 2 disc singles collection, that DOES sound a bit ropey, even to my old, untrained ears. Would snap this up at 55 quid, unfortunately I bought it full price … sigh! You win some…

          1. What 2 disc singles collection ? As far as the sound goes the mastering is very poor and you would think that they couldn’t top that but they did with the single disc collection which sounds horrendous. I was looking forward to hearing Loving You, Hating Me (Special USA Mix) on CD for the first time but the rip i downloaded from a well known blog sounds a hundred times better.

  21. I would like to wish PAUL SINCLAIR & all of the members who contribute to this site a very HAPPY HOLIDAY season and a HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR for 2019!!

    This site is TOTALLY AMAZING and I couldn’t imagine being without it. How I managed before joining just over a year ago, I have no idea!!

    Rock On,,,,,,SDE & PAUL

    LET THE NEW BRING IMMENSE RICHES AND PEACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

    BLESS YOU ALL

  22. I would also like to wish you Paul and the entire SDE community a wonderful Christmas time and a Happy New Year. I stumbled upon the SDE site a long time ago and I simply cannot imagine a day without it. Looking forward to another year of interesting content here…

  23. I hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas Paul and all the very best to you and your family for 2019.

    As many others have said, thank you for all that you do and for all the deals that I have found via SDE.

    I’m a big Stones collector, first gig I went to, 1965, so whether to go for the not really very appealing Beggars Banquet reissue or not? It was definitely too expensive before, but is now tempting. Another glass and I expect that I will hit the button.

    Once again, thanks and all the best.

    Peter

  25. I can’t believe it’s been one year since I told you SDE was my favorite website on earth.
    It still is ! :)
    Thanks again and again for what you do for us, 365 days a year.
    Can’t wait for Paul Young’s box set and, who knows…Seeds of Love Deluxe and 2 new Mike Oldfield Deluxe releases (Islands and Earth Moving) this year?
    Thanks again !!

  26. Paul,

    Thanks for another great year of “heads-up notifications” — deal$ on 5.1+ surround-sound PHYSICAL recordings! Here’s to hoping that next year will bring us even more, NEW, well-mixed, discrete, and immersive 5.1+ original, studio-album reissues (are u listening Jimmy Page?), as well as NEW, blues-based, 5.1+ rock/pop/jazz, PHYSICAL recordings.

    Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas.

    Cheers,

    ml

    p.s. Nice work on the Paul Young reissue. Maybe next time with the 5.1+, yeah? …on a different PY reissue-campaign.

  28. To Paul And Staff,

    A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, too. Thanks for all your hard work and love that you give. I appreciate this site and the fans and music lovers as well. Peace, joy, and happiness.
    We need more physical products. May they learn from Jethro Tull on packaging.
    Richard in Brooklyn, NYC.

  39. Merry Xmas everyone and thank you for all the hard work that goes into this site. It is making us poorer but so much richer all at the same time
    Here is to a download free 2019!

  40. Mine was No. 0110087. disappointingly high as I pre-ordered it as soon as it was announced. I got No. 8 of the Goldfrapp Tales of US boxed set.

    1. Just like to add my best wishes for Christmas to you Paul for a wonderful online resource and shop. Hope you have a restful break and see you in 2019. Festive greetings to all SDE customers too

  42. David Bowie – Loving The Alien now €92,50 (£83) at amazon.de. Cheapest it has been in Europe I think.

    Merry Xmas to Paul and all the SDE readers.

    1. Just bought the Bowie set from Germany. Woot – quite cheap, although it rose to €93.30 between adding it to my shopping basket and paying for it. rather odd.

  43. The price on amazon.uk has just gone back up for In No Sense ? & Treasure Hiding…….
    I mean…..really ? Who does that on Christmas Eve ? It should be exactly the opposite, right ?

  45. Hi Paul just ordered Bananarama CD/DVD. Cracking Value. Also Supertramp Breakfast In America on Picture Disc for £12.99 on Amazon as well. Many thanks for all your Hard Work across the Last Year keeping us informed with some Amazing Deals. To you and your Family have yourself a Super Funk Christmas and Golden New Year.

  46. Thanks for the heads up on the Bananarama 2CD/DVD Set, not a massive fan at all but I am sure it will be worthing watching the DVD and of course the CD’s, can’t complain for £4.99.

    Best Wishes to Paul & Super Deluxe Edition Readers for Christmas and the New Year.

  48. All the very best to you and yours Paul, and everyone who visits SDE! 2018, if anything was the year I made some crackin purchases thanks to this great site. Long may the deals continue in 2019.

  49. Paul
    Curse you for emptying my bank account
    Bless you for saving me tons of $
    But seriously Happy Xmas from your friends in Texas

    Oh, by the way, Amazon US has some plunging prices in progress. Watch for the next 48 hrs!
    Dylan More Blood $81
    Tull This Was 50th $26
    Beatles White 3 cd $22

    J

  50. Hi Paul, many thanks for your great site and twitter alerts, I work on the road and don’t get the time to do much media surfing, so it’s great to have this all done by you!
    I’ve had some some great deals this year, some I’m only getting around to opening now I’m off for Christmas.
    Have a great Christmas and thanks again.
    Antonio

  51. Special AKA In the Studio 2014 Vinyl only £7 at amazon UK.
    Bananarama 2xCD and 1xDVD Hammersmith set only £4.99 too

    Happy Christmas Paul, all the best for the SDE new year

  55. You should all keep an eye on the Italian Amazon site for the Beatles White album box. It has has now just gone up from 105 to 117 € which is about 105 Pounds. It is quite consistently cheap there.

  56. Both Beatles White Album Super Deluxe and the Van Morrison CD (very good btw) are £99.99 and £3.99 respectively on HMV website too so that is probably indicative of their pricing instore too for those that can get there – subject to availability naturally.
    Elvis Costello also £6.99 at HMV online.
    Season’s greetings SDE community and especially Paul.

  57. Paul, wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season. It would be easy for me to complain here about how much you’ve helped empty my wallet, fed my music addiction, etc, but, in reality, what you do is really wonderful in that you’ve saved me countless $$$ and hours of “window shopping” and research with your hard work. Eternally grateful.
    A very sincere thank you and best wishes,
    Miguel

  58. Am thinking the White Album set may not be selling too well. I picked it up last week on Amazon Canada for $118, almost half it’s original price.

        1. Source: Someone on the Steve Hoffman site was discussing this very subject, WA 50th sales, and apparently that was the figure quoted over a month ago. Many internet sellers, the Amazon’s included sold out, that is a fact. This tells me there has either been bad distraction planning or another factory run. I tried getting figures on the net after I posted my reply to your comment but couldn’t access anything of use.
          The S.E. charted at No6 in the U.K. & U.S.A., I know that to get to that position in the album charts you don’t have to sell many copies but I think at least 50,000 were sold in the U.S.A. In the first week of release. The S.E. also made the top 10 in several other countries. 100, 000 is probably a low estimation of worldwide sales. The John Lennon Imagine box has been under £60 In at least one of the Amazons since it’s release. It’s very sillier in size and no of discs, 4CD/2BD vs 6CD/1BD. The price The WA 50 is now selling for is still higher that what it could have been profitably sold for from it’s release date.

      1. I will repeat what I said in my last post and post no more on this subject as it seems that you are nitpicking and haven`t paid the correct fee to have a nitpick. Minimum entry fee £60 the same price as: `The John Lennon Imagine box has been under £60 In at least one of the Amazons since it’s release.`

  60. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas & a peaceful New Year. Thank you Paul for all your hard work keeping us all up to date. We are all financially poorer, yet musically happier with all the great deals and wonderful box sets that have been released this year. Here’s to a great 2019! :-)

  61. Thanks for the lead! Soft Cell box was $64 shipped to the USA which is about $40 less than the next best price I found stateside. Hope you and all of your readers have a Merry Christmas!

  63. Just ordered Remastered in Vinyl 2 for £63 from Amazon UK. Been waiting for a decent price drop on this. Right now it’s cheaper than buying them separately so trigger finally pulled.

  64. Does anyone know if the technical problems with the DVD in the Soft Cell box set were sorted, if so it’s a bargain as it has dropped to £54 from £90!

    3. Never got a reply to the email, but my replacement DVD came a few weeks after everybody else got theirs (I’m in the USA). Got it about a month or so ago, I believe.

    1. Box-set price in Moscow 19999 rubles (The Early Years)

      If add delivery from Amazon to the cost of the box set, it will cost the same as today (The White Album)

      1. More greetings!

        Analog Production will release box-set Roger Waters “Amused To Death” – 4LP, 200 Gram, 45 RPM

        125 USD

        There are no release date yet

  71. Re the White Album – I jumped on the AmazonDE 99 euro deal, only to have it dispatched from AmazonUK. And the Brits, who once ruled the waves, can not pack a box set so it reaches the colonies. Mine arrived with corners dented and the plastic sleeve cracked. Major disappointment, and not the first time. Any US buyers should beware – I won’t order anything heavy from AmazonUK again.

    1. Agreed Jon. I’ve had so many packages, regardless of weight, arrive from Amazon UK damaged or half opened as a result of faulty packing. Got the CCR box last week with a big old dent on the front bottom.

  72. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you Paul and your family.
    Thanks for a great site and I hope all the readers and writers on here get the SDEs they have been dreaming of .

    2. Yes, it has been sometimes, but always only around 10 to 50 cents
      for orders between 50 and 150 dollars (shipped to Europe).

      Merry Christmas to all here!!

  75. Hmm, interesting. Still haven’t taken the plunge on the Beatles. The missus offered to get it for me yesterday in HMV but I said no due to cost / budget ratio.

    However, her parents haven’t sent anything for me and said to get something and they’d chip in. So finding out what their budget is. £20 or more and I’m jumping.

    Oh the delicacy of these decisions when you have young kids. The old days would have been bang day one and hang the cost.

    In the meantime can I wish you, Paul, and your family a fantastic Christmas and new year and also to all my fellow enthusiasts. May your Christmas be full of physical artefact and devoid of download codes!

          1. Ooohh…….that price for Keychains now looks appetizing……could it be any lower ??

            They (apparently) have exchange faulty DVDs and broken spines (book), BUT if the main issue with the sound quality still remains (and I really dont see how they could fix that without starting to work on it all over again which aint gonna happen) I think I might stick with my 12″ Singles 3CD set. Its got complete a/b sides side, just like the 1st / 2nd disc of the new box set…….but its still hard to resist to those dub mixes / unreleased / new extended versions.
            Really love the fact that Forever The Same got that treatment. Surely deserved one…..Although more than 10 minutes seems a bit excessive……

    1. Cheers for the Cranberries tip – HMV have it down to £24.99 too.
      Just waiting for Howard Jones deluxe sets to drop in price along with the REM BBC set and I’ll be in the unusual situation of having nothing in my Wish list!

    1. I got In Search Of The Lost Chord box set new/sealed off Amazon UK Marketplace Seller, “momox co uk” delivered (to UK address) for £29.98 on 6th December. Notified as a result of a Camel Camel Camel alert :)

    3. Thanks a lot GHB, finally a halfway decent price for this and i would never have found out about this as i’m in Germany and just have learned that there is such a thing as Paul Smith.
      Also i’d like to wish every contributer, reader and editor ( ;-)) ) of SDE a wonderful Christmas time, some quiet days in between X-Mas and New Years Eve and a good start into 2019.

  81. Worth keeping an eye on Amazon US for Kate Bush vinyl…. prices constantly dropping! Waiting for set 3 to go below $100…..( Currently $108)

  82. HMV in Glasgow has some sale stock out. I just bought Art Of Noise “In No Sense? Nonsense!” 2CD reissue for 8.99 and the single CD remaster of “The Dreaming” for £6.99.

    They also had the recent Cocteau Twins 4CD anthology for £13.99 amongst others.

    1. Many thanks for the tip.
      The same price now here on amazon.uk.

      Cancelled my Christmas deal for the Earth Wind & Fire box (21 – now 31) and Abba studio albums (18 – now back to 30) + Silhouettes & Statues box just in case something like this happens + Soft Cell box now down to 56…..

      Cant seem to combine all of these together at their lowest prices…….very frustrating indeed.

      Also on the lookout for Siouxsie – Peepshow.

      https://www.amazon.co.uk/Peepshow-Siouxsie-Banshees/dp/B000025MGN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1545597122&sr=8-1&keywords=siouxsie+peepshow

      Here it says (remastered & expanded) version, but the image + description / tracklisting suggests the 1998 edition which is not.
      Has anyone here got it here from amazon, so I can know which one I would be getting ?
