  2. Dusty Springfield’s career spanning 4CD box/earbook Simply Dusty is only €9,99 at jpc.de. Also free shipping to DU, NL, BE and more.

  3. T. Rex’s ‘Bolan’s Zip Gun + Futuristic Dragon’ 3CD set is currently only £19.79 on Amazon. That’s the lowest price I’ve ever seen it. Only showing as one left (I just bought one).

  4. Script for a Jesters Tear SDE been dispatched, arriving tomorrow. Showing back in stock at Amazon albeit at a higher price. Looks like everyone’s order will be fulfilled.

    1. Just received an email from Amazon stating Marillion Script will arrive 22nd July. You can still actually order it from Amazon UK at £22 – still showing as temporarily out of stock. The ones on Amazon now are third party sellers

  6. just bought off amazon uk the who my generation 5cd box set for £28. I believe there’s 6 copies left. hurry if you’re interested. I’ve seen it listed at £100+.

  7. Have to add, my purchase of SOTT didn’t go through all the way initially…the whole translating thing…lucky I then saw the discount code, which brought it down further to 106 Euros, which is almost a $50 savings…and then it went through…thanks again Dave Barron!! But I gotta add, there is a new massive Little Steven box out on July 31, 10CD/3DVD, only through the UDiscover store…covers all his earlier 80s/90s side work apart from his stuff with Springsteen, acting, and his Sirius XM work as curator, DJ & head of “Underground Garage” & “Outlaw Country”…I will be ordering it close to the 31st cuz with tax & all, it’s just under $200, even with free US shipping…

  8. Finally bit on Conversation Piece..it’s £60 new from resellers as well as the Amazon price, thanks for the alert. Does anyone know if this comes up as Autorip on Amazon post-purchase?

    2. Yes, Autorip if blought from Amazon – and further £5 discount if you qualify (see Amazon landing page) – just snapped it up for £56.60 (Amazon price currently £61.60 before discount).

    1. Thanks for the tip! I’ve been waiting to get this set. Even with the higher shipping, it was still worth it, for that price.

  12. You guys are lucky in Europe to get the Prince at a good price. In Australia it is retailing for $320.00 (AU$). I’m getting mine thru importcds.com for around $200(AU$)

  13. Thanks to Dave Barron, I switched my Prince SOTT order from Amazon US to Italy and saved almost $40!! Normally I would not have switched & just left it cuz of shipping costs, but it is a big savings & I will wait longer for the arrival…as for the Pilot, went with the US price, which with shipping is $35, cool…as for the AOB box, ordered mine from the SDE shop way back when…will be bundled with the booklets of both TFF & new Macca, so I hope it doesn’t take too long Paul…also ordered the new Sparks…today at Target (first time there in almost 4 months, yikes), along with some new clothes, I bought the new Jimmy Buffett & Target exclusives of latest by Norah Jones & the 1975, see how those are, and just received new Jessie Ware (excellent), Haim (pretty great but not signed), new Canadian alt-country girl on Columbia Tennile Townes & 2009 release by brilliant Boston area Americana/powerpop/garagepunk girl Sarah Borges, “The Stars Are Out”…bought it used & the thing was signed both by Sarah but also her band, the Broken Singles…so that was a nice surprise…

  15. With VAT subtracted, even with shipping costs to the U.S., this still comes in at $125, which is $35 less than the price on Amazon US. US price is now $159.95 plus sales tax. So thanks.

  16. Thanks for this amazing deal on the Prince box set – the discount code ‘SCONTO5EUR’ is still working as of just now.
    I also found a good deal in ‘The K Box (Box)’ of Peter Hammill, this box set had been out of print for a few months but a few copies (around 5) appear on amazon.de and amazon it – the latter turned out to be 5 Euros cheaper (at € 68.61) so I ordered it together with the Prince box set.

  17. Prince SOTT 8cd/1dvd set

    Colour you peach and black!
    Colour me taken aback!
    Crucial!
    I think I wan’ cha!

    oh yes! even I have to buy this from amazon Italy at £102 to have it forever in my life!

    . . .Whenever I have ordered from Amazon Italy or Germany in the past it has come from a UK warehouse in Scotland (I am in England).

    This will be my most expensive singular music related purchase ….. but after waiting and waiting for the 1999 set to “just go down a few more £”, only to sell out and double in price overnight, I had to get this or I know I would be kicking myself sometime around the second half of September!

  20. Got the Prince from Italy Amazon. Wonder if it will show the “Dunfermline” Amazon hub address this time when i receive it, (I live in Scotland).Has happened more than once and received the day after release, if not day of release so I don’t know what that’s all about but fair enough!

  21. Thanks Paul! I had ordered three CD boxes from Amazon Canada but I calculated everything, converted Canadian Dollars to Euros, including shipping etc and I’m saving 35 Euros when ordering from Italy. So I canceled my Canadian order and “went Italian”. I still have the vinyl box and colored vinyl ordered from Amazon Canada as that is the cheapest at the moment. So for US residents, that is the way to go.
    I’m going all out on this reissue. It’s the holy grail of reissues and my all time favorite album. I was also lucky enough to buy the singles box. By the way, I’m not intending to re-sell these box sets. I just need to know I have a spare one if something happens. I know it’s crazy but this album means a lot to me.
    P.S., the UK price came down from 199 Pounds to a more “normal” 159 Pounds. The price comparison widget is not updating for me. Not sure if that is an issue on my end or with you Paul.

  23. Nice! Ordered SOTT from Italy with the 5 euro discount code and saved myself £45 cancelling the Amazon UK order. And then spent £5 of that on a blue Who single from Sound of Vinyl. I’d buy all you bargain spotters a drink but I suspect that would more than wipe out the savings and we’d have to sit at least 2 metres apart to enjoy said refreshment anyway.

  26. Don’t know how you did to get this price, I tried the SCONTO5EUR, but it did not work, I am to France at more than 115 euros.

  27. Sorry Paul! With thanks to google translate I’ve just discovered that Amazon Italy do have a pre-order price guarantee! Apologies for any inconvenience.

    2. @William K.:

      If this question rises up again you can always check at your “Open Orders”-page on Amazon, with pre-ordered stuff they should always show you the current amount they’ll debit you when the item is being shipped to you.

      And btw: AFAIK all the amazon-sites worldwide have the pre-order guarantee on music, films and games.

  28. Hi Paul,
    Do you know if Amazon Italy have a pre-order lowest price guarantee? I bought the Prince 8CD/DVD from them on the 25th of June so not sure if I should cancel & re-order.

    1. The Amy MacDonald double vinyl Woman Of The World box set with extra CD is good value at £15. Cost more than that to post it out to the EU :)

      1. It’s one of the ones I bought! thought the Who’s Next triple LP set at £9 was pretty decent as well so picked it up. The Mott reissues at £12 are the lowest I’ve seen them at.

      1. Why is it flawed please? I just ordered a copy. Is it because the original album is supplemented by a couple of additional tracks on side 2 of the first disc or is the mixing not right?

        1. It says on the Sound of Vinyl that the “Who’s Next“ Triple album isn’t even released yet?, whether it is or not who knows. If it hasn’t been reissued yet how can’t anyone know if it’s flawed?. At £9 you can’t complain surely?. It saves me getting my A1/B1 of it on Track out to play – so £9 is fine by me. Plus I haven’t heard the live concert on sides 4/5/6 can’t wait.

        2. If it’s anything like the copy I got recently the sound is flat – not a very satisfying listen to be honest. However – if you haven’t already got it in your collection and for a triple-disc at that price it’s a steal.

  30. Thanks a lot, I cancelled my Amazon UK order and ordered from Italy instead. With the discount code it came down to 98 EUR (incl shipping).

    1. Forget my previous comment. The mediabook version is available cheaper elsewhere (around €40). I just didn’t know it existed in this book-format. The 12”x12” version is still available, but for €12o almost twice the original price.

  34. Italian Prince deal ordered. Will leave the UK order in place just in case they decide to half the current price. More in live with the expected price round about £100

  37. I’m all for a bargain but how about supporting the UK’s struggling and dwindling indie stores? We’ll all end up working on zero hours contracts in Amazon warehouses at this rate :(

    3. Not sorry Alan cos I can’t afford to throw another £65 at my local indie store to support them with this purchase. Money is tight for me right now.

      1. The future impact of this way of buying will only be negative. We’ll all be paid slaves to The Man.

        The heart of rock n roll is dying, struggling to be kept alive by the likes of Sleaford Mods.

        1. Some people’s livelihood is “wage dependant” and this “wage slave” just saved himself £65, so that’s more money to be used elsewhere in the household. Therefore from my point of view there’s no negatives and I will still continue to support my local indie store with other purchases. Don’t even think your mate Jason Williamson would argue over this one, he’s quite well versed in the hardships of the working class.

    4. I use my local store for most purchases, often paying a premium of up to £5 for some box sets, but honestly, I’m not going to pay a £50 premium.

          1. @Fogarrach you could be right there !! I was a little unsure of what I was doing !!.

  45. And ordered. I was humming and hawing about getting Sign O The Times at £140, but 113 euros including shipping to the UK is a bit of a no brainer. Thanks for the top off Paul!

    1. @Andreas:

      Thanks man,

      using the coupon and because of Italy’s 22% VAT coming down to the 16% we currently have in Germany brought the price farther down for me: Even with p&p it was only around €107.

      That’s a cool 54€ less than the current pre-order price on Amazon.de

      And 2 make things even better this seems to be released in Italy a week earlier than elsewhere (18 September)

  50. Just ordered, and got the £5 off too. Pity its not the coveted silver viny edition. But its a great way to get vinyl versions of songs long out of print and commanding extortionate prices 2nd hand.

    1. Would love to know how the £5 off worked.
      I tried it (this morning) and was told it couldn’t be used.

      Ordered it anyway – couldn’t decide (and I’m still a bit undecided) but I love Factory in general and some of the tracks sound as quite interesting…

  53. From today (1st July) on until 31st December VAT in Germany is reduced from 19% down to 16% – meaning a few things could be slightly cheaper on amazon.de (+ other German retailers as well).

    2. It also means that customers in Germany who buy from amazon-websites outside of Germany will pay slightly less for their goods as Amazon always takes the VAT-percentage that is valid at the time of purchase in the buyers country.
      I’m unaware though if other shops handle this the same way.

    1. Paul

      The new, critically praised, Haim album, women in music pt 111 is on promotion on Amazon UK. Amazingly you can buy a signed CD version for just £4.99 at the moment.. I don’t expect stocks will last long!

      Simon

      1. Thanks Simon, picked up this bargain earlier; like the Fur’s latest without this site many of us would miss these things. As an aside I wonder how many of these albums are signed before fatigue sets in by the artists; the Fur’s one went very quick…

  55. Cool item & price but shipping is too high at 28 pounds, no thanks…like what happened with the Motown box deal…had already ordered so I let it go…not this time….maybe one day…

  58. Thanks Paul snapped this deal up. I don’t know if it works for everyone but got a further £5 off by entering GIFT05 in the promo box….

  66. Would you believe I was listening to “English Black Boys” by Xodue (track 9 side 1) when the alert came through, so naturally I took this as an omen to buy the vinyl copy. In any case the last time I looked at buying this on vinyl it was over £100 so to get it for £59.99 is a steal with mega thanks to Paul.

      1. It won’t sadly. From 1st July the UPU have upped their prices so it’s really expensive to ship anything other than a single CD to the states.

        1. It seems like multi-disc orders are cheaper per disc than single CDs.

          Single CD – Price: £6.10 + £10.71 delivery
          3 CD set Price: £23.80 + £12.97 delivery
          33 CD box Price: £236.47 + £27.69 delivery

          All used to be £3.08 delivery with less than £1 per additional item

          Amazon UK still say “We are delivering to your region with limited shipping options. Please expect extended delivery time.” which I take to be FedEx, UPS, or DHL .

          But it that reflects the new, permanent, postage prices it will cause me to order much more strategically (bundle orders) and to order less.

  72. On another no brainer Haim’s new album Women in music part 3 is only £4.99 for the signed edition cd on Amazon UK. Limit of 3 per customer.

  77. Great deal, but with shipping & handling charges from Amazon UK, it’s nearly just as inexpensive to buy at Amazon.com if you are in the USA.
