I love John Mellencamp’s music but this SDE is very disappointing. Packaging is sparse and there are no extras. C’mon John you can do better than this!

Would LOVE this and saw it (albeit very briefly) on Amazon.co.uk for £83…didnt stay that price for long…I know, why didnt I order it!!!
It was going to be ‘deal of the day’ today, but like you say, it wasn’t that price for long enough!!
Why not packing not in original sleeves? These black cd’s look íf he already is dead. I bought the Clash boxset. Same problem. Wake up record companies. If you reissue some records please in original record sleeves not some coloured crap.
There’s also a 1982-1989 5CD boxset on amazon, so this is obviously not going to be straightforward for UK fans, haha.
I’ll check the other links, as I just want to get an idea of how much this might be, even though the price will probably go up and down a few times before release (see: Roger Taylor).
Very stylish-looking set!
The UK amazon pre-order isn’t working, though. It still shows as not yet available.
Yes… not sure when it’s going to be available in the UK. The Amazon Germany link is a decent alternative. They are often cheaper than the UK and shipping is very low.
