This Week’s Box Set and Reissue Deals!

UK: The Cars / Heartbeat City remastered & expanded CD – £5

Expanded & Remastered Shake It Up is the same price.

UK: The Cure / Mixed Up 3CD deluxe – £9.99

Under a tenner for this triple-disc set is amazing. It includes a newly remastered version of the original set on disc one, a further CD of extra remixes (either from the original era, or from 1990) and a final CD of brand new Robert Smith ‘Torn Down’ remixes.

UK: Paul Weller / True Meanings CD – £4.99

Standard CD, not the deluxe, but this is such a good album and well worth a fiver!

UK: Marillion / Clutching at Straws 4CD+blu-ray – £24

Excellent price for this set which includes live material, demos, 5.1 mix and documentary.

UK: Various Artists / 80’s Symphonic CD – £4.99

This various artists compilation with “80s originals combined with new orchestral arrangements” has only been out a couple of months but with a price of under £5, is now the time to take a punt? Read my interview with a-ha’s Paul Waaktaar-Savoy where he discusses the orchestral ‘Take On Me’.

Deluxe boxed edition with 72p hardcover book

      1. Am a similar amount down myself but couldn’t resist !
        Have received so many great tips from this site so try to
        reciprocate wherever possible. Not a place to come to save
        money but it goes way further !

  1. Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet…
    Amazon Australia
    The Beatles – SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND: 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (SUPER DELUXE EDITION) $AU110 (£61)

    1. Wow, thank you Reuben!

      Could not resist at that price, and have been waiting around a year for something like this – all the while biting my nails that I might have missed nabbing a copy… Very pleased and appreciative.

      It seems that AmazonAU is slowly coming into its own, after all?

        1. Paul, they’ve honoured similarly crazy prices in the past such as –
          Tusk Deluxe $14.99
          Village Green Box $39.99
          Trouble No More Deluxe $40.99
          Monty Python at the 02 (book edition 2CD/1 Blu,1 DVD) $5, or buy 1, get 1 free!

          1. Kinks Village Green box for AU$39.99?! When was that one, David? Completely missed it…

  2. ridiculous cheap deal on bob dylan’s TROUBLE NO MORE: THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 13 / 1979-1981 (DELUXE EDITION) over at amazon australia. click on ‘new’ and ‘used’ and there it is. has been there more than a week and is not a mistake. i purchased a second copy ‘cos of the price. had already played full price for the bonus cd at the bob store way back. oh, i didn’t mention the price? AU$40.99. can you believe it? but it’s true. it says ‘prime’ but isn’t. i purchased and i’m not prime. some folks in oz have purchased multiple to sell on ebay. it has driven the going price down. but if you just want gospel bob in your collection, this is the deal of the century!

      1. that’s a shame. and what’s more, it looks as though that special incredible deal price is now ENDED. was up for a goodly while, but now gone…

  3. The Rolling Stones Studio Albums Collection 1971-2016 is selling for 288 GBP on Amazon UK right now. About $325 USD shipped to US, which is a great deal!

  4. Tried for the Police and will cross fingers and wait – iffit anything like the Sabbath box it will be in vain and then cancelled but here’s hoping

  5. Thank you for heads up on The Cars and ELP. Got a second ELP Deluxe set and Uriah Heep Deluxe Set while at it. Good job. As to Alison Moyet got the reissue lot when they first came out and they sound perfect to me. Must be my age or cloth ears. As to Cars do hope they will include Door to Door as I thought it to be a superb effort.

  6. Thanks for the heads up Paul, just added the cure set to my order on amazon, I’ve been after this for a while but didn’t want to pay £14.99 for it!
    Shame about the weller deal only being the standard edition, but, as you say, a bargain nonetheless!!

  7. I had mentioned some of these deals in an attempt to respond to the Kate Bush deal last week, but many times my posts don’t get through. In addition to the Cars and Cure deals, Lindsay Buckingham’s 3CD deluxe Solo Anthology is £7.99.

  8. On Amazon Germany you can find cheap Vinyl under 13 €:

    Abba – Waterloo / 9,00 €
    Annie Lennox – Diva / 12,99 €
    Steve Winwood – Back in the High Life / 7,99 €
    Steve Winwood – Roll with it / 9,99 €
    Steve Miller Band – The Joker / 9,99 €

    Boney M. – 10000 Lightyears / 9,99 €

  9. I took a punt on the 80’s Symphonic [A fiver in ASDA] and regret it.

    ‘You can’t reheat a souffle’ I think is the saying…

    Unfortunately, people think that adding a string section or whole orchestra will improve any song but they are woefully misguided.

    Take On Me is terrible and what they have done to Vienna is beyond words for me.

  10. I did the same Chris Squires i ordered mine at £93 I have seen some going for £150 and some going for over £200 I think when the box set was first released it was £79.99 so if it’s been deleted now I can live with that. Just hope it gets delivered now.

    1. The sound of the Alison Moyet reissues are far better than your spelling!

      I got them at £9.99 and they are brilliant.

      Hoping to see her soon with Tears For Fears in Nottingham. Woo hoo!

  11. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FT6JN9R/?coliid=I2V08YUL3ZBH87&colid=38CAICIAHW6UA&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    The Police Abbey Road 6LP half speed mastered box set “Every Move You Make” is at a decent £93 on AMUK right now, I bagged one last night as I was hoping it would dip to something around the £70 mark, but it has held it’s price well and has been out of stock on a couple of occasions. So whether I panicked or jumped in just about right, we shall see but I was happy with £93 delivered.

      1. I know, it worried me too, but on an optimistic note I have had many box sets that had that and then the amazon email comes through “Good news – we will deliver earlier than expected” and it turns up three days later. Gotta be in it to win it….

        However, as you say, I feel I might have missed the boat with this in the eternal SDE gamble of “when to jump”. I snoozed, I probably lose…..

        1. I envy your luck Chris. Last year was the Year of the Cancelled Order for me. Hendrix ‘Seattle’, Black Sabbath ’10 Year War’, Dylan ‘Mono Vinyl’ [boy not getting that one at the £203 price hurt], several Stones Platinum SHM-CDs, Elvis ‘King In The Ring’ vinyl, … got to stop, too painful to remember …

          1. Oh, I’ve had many those too, I choose to forget those annoyances and just remember the one’s that came through.

            As I mentioned, it’s really a game. If the aim is to get what you want at the cheapest possible price then it’s as bad as riding the stock market with the threat that you wait so much as one minute too long and it’s gone, possibly forever at a half decent price. The other thing is what Lee says above. Swallowing your pride, if something launched at £79 and you missed it, it does take some effort to leap back on at £93 and take the hit because if you don’t you will never get it. I’m bloody annoyed at having to pay £93 for the Police (If I get it at all) as I shouldn’t have hesitated at £79.
            Last time I stuffed it this bad was Donald Fagen – Cheap Xmas, missed at £67 had to get back on at £77. I gambled, I lost.

          2. those dylan mono vinyl albums are readily available individually. they are exactly the same AAA masters as the box set. for some weird reason even the latest vinyl releases are mono, but have stereo written on their labels and covers, but they have exactly the same stampers on the vinyl. hmv (for example) currently has The Times They Are A-changin’ for £10.99 – so you should be able to pick up everything up to John Wesley Harding for far far far less than £203
            the reason for all this is because when Music On Vinyl asked for hi-res files to do their remasters a few years back for these albums they were sent the actual plates instead (i’m guessing by a mistake).

        2. Chris,

          I also took a punt at that price, with VAT deducted it is a no-brainer for me. And today, I see one of those small charges put on my credit card from Amazon EU that a company will do to “test” your card before charging it the full amount, so that’s a possible sign (this is currently my only outstanding European Amazon order) that they actually do have stock of this. Also, today the status has now changed to “out of stock.”

          On another note, Amazon U.S. has the same item, for slightly more, and is “in stock,” but I’m not sure if they shuffle stock internationally or not.

          1. Update on The Police “Every Move You Make” Amazon order from January for £81.21 (international purchase, so no VAT and including shipping) – they finally shipped it today! They honoured the purchase even though it is now listed for £200 and has been out of stock for some time.

        1. Thanks for the link John, I waited and waited to see if anything positive came from Amazon, as £93 is a decent price, but although I have it in the queue, I don’t hold out much hope, so went to banquet.

      2. Oh nuts! I saw it had dropped in price and was wondering whether to take the plunge, but thought I’d hang on a while longer. However as you say it now says delivery in 1 to 2 months, which indeed, is ominous. Ordered anyway…will see what happens.
