Deal Alert / Sound of McAlmont & Butler: five-disc super deluxe
The brilliant Sound of McAlmont & Butler album, in its top-of-the-range large format, 5-disc book guise is fantastically cheap on Amazon UK right now…
The super deluxe edition of this indie classic features the album on CD remastered by Bernard Butler himself, along with a 15-track bonus CD of demos, remixes, single versions along with some tracks from a BBC radio session. Additionally you get a DVD (NTSC, no region restrictions) contains promos, BBC TV appearances, new 2015 acoustic sessions and a new hour-long interview with Bernard and David discussing the making of the album. Plus the original album pressed on 180g vinyl and a bonus 12-inch vinyl with the two singles Yes and You Do plus the demos of both on the flipside.
All this for £20, if you’re quick! (it was £50+).
