Hi Paul 2 TONE 7″ Treasures Box Set is on Amazon at the moment for £68. Lowest i’ve ever seen it. Had to bag one at that price + the Slip Mat & Autograph
How about this?? Taylor Swift is dropping a surprise 8th album tomorrow called “folklore”…with collabs with Bon Iver & other indy-folk leaning artists, as well as Jack Antonoff…and for only 1 week, there are 7 limited edition covers/packages and 1 bonus track…I do sorta collect her stuff, so I ordered 2 different special editions & a new T-shirt reflecting the new album…it’s really cool & artsy…so it’s free shipping…will be interesting to hear her latest direction…

Wait 4 SOTT
Woah…. I have the Rick Wakeman album. I’m sure my signed copy was only about £25 from Rick’s website.
It’s good – Wakeman fans will like it, but even I’ll admit that £44’s a bit steep.
I might use the money I saved to buy the PSB Bluray, which I foolishly cancelled two days before its original release… *sigh*
Abba box still at 119,15 EUR on Amazon.it!
Tad expensive the Rick Wakeman Red Planet especially for 1 CD and 1 DVD..hope for a huge price drop on that one but £44 come on its not worth that…I expect that for a vinyl release not a CD/DVD release
Now 6 down to £8 on Amazon UK…..
Rip q magazine,I remember buying the 1st edition in John Menzies argyle streetGlasgow, October 86,cant say I’ll miss it as it’s been beyond poor for years,but it was great when it was great, amen
@John – that’s not good to hear but I agree with your comments about diminishing interest in the magazine…my last purchased copy was from December 2011 that included the U2 “Achtung Baby” or officially the “Ăhk-to͝ong Ba͞y-bi” covers CD [a nice mix of bands on that disc]. Here in the States anyway, you’d find retailers selling Mojo, Q, etc. sometimes with the disc [i.e. Borders] or intentionally removed at the newsstand [i.e. Barnes & Noble] (or just the aftermath of one large glue spot to remind you it was thieved by the previous “reader”).
Also out on Friday is John Foxx & The Maths’ new album called Howl. What I’ve heard so far sounds very exciting. I’m looking forward to hearing the whole album.
I got a dispatch email from Banquet yesterday so it’s looking like we’re being treated to that rarest of events – an album being released early!
Hi Paul,
Just wondering if you’re aware of an Absolute Beginners special edition coming out on the 7th of August?
Popped over to Fopp to pick up the standard edition and they mentioned they never got any vinyl stock in on release day, but will definitely get the one on the 7th.
Apparently coloured records, limited.
HMV have it listed as an exclusive, but for the 15th August. No mention or picture of what colour the vinyl will actually be, however…

My guess would be green vinyl. No idea why – it’s not like there’s any green on the cover!
Thanks Graham, great spot on that one!
Pretty sure it’s the same they mentioned at Fopp, as they always get the HMV stock there. And looks like the date changed again…
Was last week in the states. I also saw people with copies of Dry Demos!
Where did you see the people with Dry Demos?
Is Fiona Apple being reissued again so soon? I thought it came out last week?
The release date is this Friday
