This Week’s Box Set and Reissue Deals
UK: Kylie Minogue / Step Back In Time Limited2LP mint green vinyl – £18
£7 cheaper than it was the other day!
UK: Joe Strummer 001 2CD deluxe – £10.88
This 2CD deluxe features 32-tracks of ‘rare and unheard’ audio and includes favourites from his recordings with the 101ers, The Mescaleros, his solo albums and soundtrack work. This deluxe is much bigger than your average deluxe and actually comes in a 64-page hardcover A4 book. This was around £3o, so an utter bargain at this price!
SPAIN: The Public Image Is Rotten (Songs From The Heart) 6LP vinyl set – £68
This 6LP PIL vinyl anthology was over £120 when first released almost exactly a year ago, so at around £60, this is a bargain. The box includes a 72-page book, poster, prints and come packaged in a debossed black and gold foil box (and comes with a download code).
UK: Jethro Tull / This Was 3CD+DVD set – £18.99
UK: Prince / Piano & A Microphone 1983 LP+CD deluxe set – £15
How low can this go? Superb price for this deluxe Prince set.
UK: Paul McCartney & Wings / Wild Life super deluxe – £107
£107 is still a lot of money, but remarkably this is the cheapest price to date in the UK for this super deluxe reissue of Paul McCartney’s 1972 Wings album. The Red Rose Speedway super deluxe is a definitely not cheap £184 in the UK!
UK: Kate Bush / Remastered Part 1 7CD box set – £33
No apologies for pointing out that the first of the two Kate Bush remastered CD box sets – The Kick Inside to The Red Shoes – remains an utter bargain at £33.
I know it’s not online but I got the Tom Petty Best Of Everything box for £33.99 (down from £69.99) in HMV today. Kate Bush boxes similarly discounted
Everybody and their dug selling Spice Girls picture disc, £18 in Sainsbury’s. That 2500 probably acquired another couple of zeros!!
Kick 30 and there is also another promotion you can use

The Joe Strummer has now gone up to £34 or thereabouts, however is still temporarily out of stock.
But, my order is still “awaiting” at the £10 price.
I guess all we can do is.. etc.
Heaven 17 box set now only £72 on AmazonUK. It’s almost out of print. Get it for this very low price!!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Play-Win-Virgin-Years-Exclusive/dp/B07N3R8C57/ref=pd_ybh_a_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=39EWKK9NRN0S9YACAT65
Dannii Minogue 15th Anniversary Double Vinyl of Neon Nights is only £10 at amazon UK
Thanks for the heads up on the Strummer!
Kate Bush Remastered 1 also available new for about £32 through Amazon UK, 3rd party seller.
Amazingly the latest Stormzy CD is only £5 on Amazon – more than £2 cheaper than MP3 download
I just bought this for the bargain price. Then I reviewed my order and it had suddenly sprung up to £28.76! Wow – talk about in the nick of time!
Thanks for a great deal, Paul!
Haha, the Joe Strummer box is now listed as “#1 best seller in box sets”. You have a lot of influence Paul!!
The Strummer set is worth it purely for U.S.North he did with Mick Jones.
Cheers for the Strummer update Paul managed to grab a copy of one of my teen heroes. My heart and wallet indeed are truly grateful ;-)
PIL is still out there at 68 euro, but shipping is almost 39 euros.
Thanks Paul. I got the Joe Strummer deal. It showed unavailable but you can still order it. Hopefully they will fulfill, great deal!
By the way, the Tangerine Dream box Searching For Hades is out of print or extremely expensive everywhere except on Amazon.co.uk where it is still available for a very reasonable £125. I’m sure it’ll be sold out any day so grab it while you can.
Hades is not available from Amazon – look at the delivery date.
According to the “Burning Shed”-newsletter from 11 July the Tangerine Dream-box will be available in August again as a re-print/-press.
Not sure what’s happening with the Strummer set. It’s now up to £28, but if you go to ‘new & used’, the Amazon price is still £10.88 and the price at checkout is £10.88!
You can still order it at £10.88 and the link on the post is still correct…
Amazon do that quite often now – show more expensive Marketplace sellers listings ahead of their own.
I think it’s to do with the algorithm the prioritises ‘in stock’ over ‘out of stock’ even if the price is higher. I think.
Well, here is still a deal. Not quite as good as on the Amazon UK site, but still https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/public-image-limited-p-i-l-the-public-image-is-rotten/hnum/8345517?iampartner=99
Can someone please explain the point of a flash sale such as on the PIL album, when 90% of the people likely to be interested don’t hear about the bloody thing until it’s over?
It’s not a flash sale … the Amazon UK price has been varying between £50 and £60 for a couple of weeks (presumably Amazon automatically matching the best third-party price) if anyone wanted the product and had bothered to look! You can hardly be surprised if the price then quickly goes back up soon after a “deal alert” email is sent out to thousands of people.
Remember Paul isn’t responsible for the original low price, he’s just making us aware of it. Unfortunately the “deal alert” itself is usually the reason for the price quickly going back up!
Did you ever review / unbox the last two McCartney box sets ?
Always interested to hear what you have to say. Quality sets if somewhat over priced !
Joe strummer is an absolute bargain I missed out on it they never sent me the pledge copy.
i dithered for 3mins…PIL back to 125!!!
There’s some from marketplace at £85 > https://amzn.to/2JjJ1p0
PIL at 128 now :-(
PIL back up to £127
Well the PiL box set deal was shortlived, it’s already gone back up to £127.99 !!
PIL offer lasted 20 mins, I missed out :(
That PIL set didn’t last half hour unfortunately
Thanks for the heads up on the Joe Strummer Paul. As you say a steal at less than £11!
Thanks Paul,
PIL ordered!
I also ordered Ringo Starr’s ‘Goodnight Vienna’ 180g pressing which is currently on Amazon UK for a mere £6.97
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077H7V5VH/?coliid=I3DIG04B8AINOE&colid=2XBIR0BI79YDB&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
It appears that timing is everything with these deals…..
….I ordered the ringo Starr LP mentioned in this thread…and it is now £17.80 less than 2 hours later (was £6.87)….there must have been a sudden rush as us SDE’ers flocked bargain price! …sure it is the same with PiL and J.strummer etc..
…just checked the prince one and that has gone up too to £19 (from rock bottom £15 )….I bought this a few weeks ago for £21
Some truly great deals here. Sadly I can’t take advantage as I have completely run out of room for any more records or CD’s. Bugger. PIL deal appears to be over; back up to £127.00
just ordered the Strummer set – thanks for the notice Paul
PIL already gone – price on Amazon site was showing at £49 but going into shopping basket at circa £130! Refreshed several times and £49 still showing as headline price but basket always remained at the higher amount. Now disappeared altogether.
Cheers Paul, that’s the Joe Strummer deluxe and signed Pixies CD bought from your most recent deal updates. What would I (and my reducing wallet size) do without you?!!
PIL ordered. What a deal that is. Cheers, Paul
deal gone by 11.54 – wow ! too quick for me
