  2. Kingmaker 5cd anthology Everything’s Changed is a £22 pre-sale over at Cherry Red. Really decent price. Released end of July.

    1. Thank you Paul for the Yes box tip..Got one..a bit worried that this would go out of print The Yes Album was one of my first rock albums..1970 and still perfect! Should have been very them this weekend..Gateshead and Glasgow..sigh..

  7. First thank you for your hard work. I love SDE and look forward to receiving your e-mails. I tried to order. The Sting Cd as well as The Rolling Stones Honk because the price was amazing. Both came to £9.40!
    A great deal. Shipping was £25.00 to Canada. Suddenly not so good a deal! Too bad Amazon UK has raised their shipping price so much that it makes no sense to buy from them if you’re in Canada and I imagine the USA as well. Just checked. Stones Honk on Amazon.Ca is $5.04 Canadian. About £2.50! And The deluxe Sting edition is $17.49. Still a great deal.

  8. Also out this week is a 12 song Ronnie Milsap’s Greatest Hits released by Concord Music which is one of the best greatest hits compilations of all time!!!

  11. If anyone is really keen on the Stones Honk set, right now on eBay you can get the 2 CD set new for £3.49 post included, 3 CD version £7.58 post included. For the life of me I cannot imagine there was ever all that much demand for yet another 1971 onwards comp, I know I had no interest and am still not tempted at these prices.

  12. David Bowie Who Can I Be Now box is reduced on vinyl….£150 on Amazon or £160 on Rough Trade.
    Best price I have seen on this in ages.

  13. Thanks, as ever, Paul for the top tips. Ordered the Eno at the slightly higher price of £22.94. Still a bargain. BUT it’s marked as out of stock. I hope they honour this deal, but I guess it could be cancelled.

  15. For those of us living under the Orange guy, Elusive Disc has a 15% off sale, Omnivore has a bunch of CDs at $5 and cheap vinyl too, Real Gone has free shipping, and Sundazed has a 25% off vinyl.

      1. Will there be an import charge for an item only costing £11.50 or so? I thought there was a £20 or so lower limit from memory, so that would be disappointing!

  17. Amazon currently have Joe Bonamassa’s Sydney Opera House double blue vinyl for £12 – looks like a bargain to me. A few of his other double and triple live vinyls are also fairly reasonable at around £15 to £20.

  23. Music For Installations on Amazon Uk: Price £22.94 + £18.98 shipping fees delivery to Canada !!!
    Items: £19.12 (minus VAT)
    Postage & Packing: £18.98
    Import Fees Deposit: £2.97

    Cost more for shipping than the item itself !!!

  24. For the Stones LP boxset, there’s no hi-res download included in my last december buy from amazon.ca. Check the web for download card issue.

    2. Seems to be a N America issue with box sets. I think it was the same with The Police Every Move You Make. Download on European ones only

  31. UK Time now 14:00.
    Bowie conversation piece £29.99 +p&p Amazon reseller. Seems to good to be true I know but hope it arrives! 10 left!! Wow.

      1. All my stuff ends up like that anyway! Cds in the car and book on bedside table read and reread many times.
        I was lucky enough to get ‘Is It Any Wonder’ after one of your alerts, removed shrink wrap to read inside cover and listen in car. Worth less I know but …..

  35. Beatles singles collection is 129.99 on HMV (50 quid less than I paid upon release) I know people have been put off by reports of warping (my set does suffer this on a couple of singles) but for that price I would recommend going for it.

    1. The Rolling Stones deal would be a buy except for the $64 shipping charge plus an all of a sudden new fee (“exchange rate guarantee”, wot!) of $8. Hate to admit it but deals and buys are dead for me here in the USA.

  39. Just bought the 1st kate bush cd boxset off hmv for £25

    They have some decent offers on the depeche mode vinyl boxsets atm also

  42. As of this morning the Eno CD set was “temporarily unavailable” but I still ordered at the £19 price, and then got an email saying I had an MP3 version available immediately as part of the Amazon Autorip scheme. I recall this happening when I ordered a compilation by The Servants (Luke Haines’ old band) that eventually got cancelled, yet I still “kept” access to the MP3s via Amazon Music. Hopeful I’ll get the actual Eno box set though…

    1. Usually when an item is cancelled they will charge you the download price if you have already downloaded the MP3 version so be careful.

      1. Yes, this happened to me for Marillion Clutching at Straws. £23 for the box, but got charged £13 for the mp3 when they couldn’t fulfill the order. I wanted the box, not the mp3 and couldn’t find any way of sending it back. Be very careful as Steven says

      2. Yes, definitely! Stream and only download (if you really need to) after you’ve received your CD order. There is a flaw in Amazon’s Autorip that sometimes allows you to download MP3’s for cancelled orders that are still added to your library.

  43. Superb price for the Sgt Pepper boxset, I already own it, it’s a steal at £69. Want to see the Abbey Road Boxset drop a bit more though before I pull the trigger. Keep up the good work Paul mate.

      1. Paul. Ogdens Nut Gone Flake SDE is £39 on Amazon.uk currently. Only a few left though. Never seen it that low. Certainly a lot less than when I bought it!

    1. I dithered for a day as to whether I actually ‘need’ this and jumped in at £59 after reading some reviews and should be arriving later today. Just as well given that hike back up again (£97.83) as I write. Yesterday I still felt a few pangs about buying at £59, now I feel like I’ve got a bargain – isn’t psychology wonderful?!!

      I checked my existing collection and I’ve got all of the tracks on the 12″ singles on vinyl one way or another (that lovely New Order 1981-1982 EP covers a multitude of sins) plus all the equivalent singles on original 7″.

  49. Hi Paul!
    Last year you surprised us german fans of your SDE blog with a post of an Udo Lindenberg release. This box is now availabel over some european amazon channels for a great price.
    In Germany it’s only 52€
    https://amzn.to/36kBOjS
    Over UK/IT/FR/ES nearly the same price.

    Herbert Grönemeyers “Alles” CD box is also very cheap: 70€ via amzon.de

    Hope this is useful for some german collectors ;o)

  50. Hi,
    for all fans of the german singer Herbert Grönemeyer: the price for the career-spanning limited CD-boxset “Herbert Grönemeyer: Alles” is at the moment at Amazon DE at € 70,- instead of € 128,- and at JPC the price is also reduced at € 90,-!

  51. I don’t know if this is worldwide, but at least in the US Rhino is having a 20%-off-and-free-shipping on nearly everything sale. I finally broke down and bought the Use Hearing Protection: Factory Records box set ($180):

    https://store.rhino.com/exclusives/use-hearing-protection-factory-records-1978-79-limited-edition-box.html

    They also have the black-vinyl 8LP Factory Communications 1978-92 box for $120:

    https://store.rhino.com/exclusives/factory-communications-1978-92-limited-edition-black-8lp.html

  52. Not so much a deal but the opposite. A few of the Record Store Day releases are slowly making their way into “normal release schedules” rather than wait for release on RSD (s). When you see them beside “normal” releases the price differences are eye watering. I’ve just seen the Ennio Morricone’s colour vinyl soundtracks advertised for pre order at £38 for a single LP. As a famous singer once said “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”

  53. Amazon UK have loads of ACE Records CDs and Vinyl for £1 to £3. All old stuff but some really interesting items. I am stumbling on them so don’t know of a quick way to trace what’s available.

    1. These cheap releases are sold by a third party seller (reissuesdirect which is Bus Stop Mail Order aka Ace Records). You can search for titles on amazon via their store front.

    1. Not sure what this alert was for but see Amazon UK has reduced the price of the vinyl edition of Bootleg series Vol 11 The Basement Tapes Raw to £37.99 which seems a decent cut.

  56. For anyone wanting the Joy Division Closer releases – Try HMV

    The 12″ work out at £8.99 each and with the LP that is a bundle delivered for approx £51

  60. I woulda gone for the New Order set, but was always bothered about the lack of the 12″ CD like there was in the 2008 2CD edition… also are they doing boxsets for the other New Order albums?? Lastly, if no 12″ disc, will there be a boxset of the 12″ versions, like a remastered souped up “Substance”?? If yes, I’m in…and be more game for the “Movement” box & sets of the other albums…

    1. There’s no point for them in including another CD, and mixes already released on the album remasters that you mentioned.

      They are working on Power, Corruption and Lies. Might be out next year.

      Doubt they will release a 12 inch boxset or even one for Substance, as again,
      that’s just repeating tracks that are already released.

      later
      -1

  61. On Amazon UK, ENO Installations, 6 cd set, is £19.07. Although it shows ‘temporarily out of stock’ I’ve received an email stating a delivery estimate of 23-25th May.

  63. Hi Paul , hope you and your family are well.
    A very off topic and trainspotter-ish question for you ?
    Do you know which of your posts has received the most and least comments since you have
    been doing the site ?
    Cheers .

    2. It’s because of Covid-19.

      With many less passenger planes flying across the Atlantic, cargo space is at a premium causing massive delays to regular mail services. Much which would usually go via air is now going via sea delaying deliveries by 1 to 2 months.

      Amazon.com to Europe and Amazon European sites including .co.uk to US are now only allowing the most expensive shipping options via couriers e.g. DHL, UPS or FedEx. They have their own freight planes so deliveries not delayed and should arrive in a week or less but charges are much higher than the regular mail.

    1. Yes, it’s very well done with brilliant content. Highly recommended especially at that price. Hopefully the debut will be done to the same high standard.
