Santa has come early as Amazon in the UK offer the CD edition one of the best box sets of 2017 – David Bowie‘s A New Career In A New Town for a stunningly good price.
The box offers remastered editions of Bowie’s seminal ‘Berlin Trilogy’ – Low, Heroes and Lodger – along with Scary Monsters and Super Creeps, a newly remixed Lodger, the Recall:3 compilation of singles and rarities, both variants of live album Stage and more! Everything is exquisitely packaged in Japanese-style vinyl replica CDs and this comes with a hardcover book. It’s just £65 right now on the UK site . Incidentally, the 13LP vinyl version is £150 and the Who Can I Be Now? CD box is £75.
A note on the “Heroes” issues. Any boxes ordered now will have the old disc and buyers will need to email the label for replacements.

Have you heard any news on the replacement discs for ’Heroes’? I haven’t yet received mine, and have been waiting for it since the end of January 2018. Tried to Email the record company but did not receive a reply.
Bit of a mixed bag today.. was hoping for my cd set today only to get a email from amazon informing me that they had received my return and my refund was complete??….
don’t remember sending it back…been waiting since Christmas Eve . No point wasting my time talking to them so have just ordered from HMV. On a plus note my replacement cd is on its way but no word on the vinyl.. has anyone received there vinyl copy yet or maybe there just not ready yet w would like to know how the corrected track / album sounds if anyone has played it yet.

All good now ..sent new messages without my silly spelling mistake and a new one for my cd box (great jod on the alert Paul,thank you)
Have confirmation on both..this site is a god send. Thanks to all .
Ps… still waiting on amazon for the cd box , ordered on the 24.12.17..supposedly here tomorrow.. but I’m starting to think not, any one else having a delay?

Just had two emails from Warners (I bought the Cd and Vinyl sets) acknowledging my original email and giving me a case number for each claim.
They said they are working through the claims and will send another email when the replacements are ready for sending – so I guess it will be a while yet.
Sorry meant to say “its back to £64.99 at hmv and amazon”

Its £64.99 at hmv and amazon. Amazon states back in stock on 10th january.
I’ve just read the product description on amazon, and it states that the fault on heroes isn’t a fault etc…
Does anybody know, is this some kind of disclsimer, in order to let parlophone refuse to replace discs on more recently bought sets?
Still waiting for a reply and my vinyl copy … has anyone received a lp replacement yet,
Like Tony when I originally sent my email I had a similar reply about rejected message. Maybe I should try again.

I emailed them on 9 December and have heard nothing at all. I got both LP and CD sets. Just tried to use the same email to enquire on progress and got this back:

Hi Tony,

Only problem is I used the code on that offer, and it doesn’t seem to be eligible any more. Perhaps I should have put everything I wanted in my basket and had it all as one order ? Oh well.

eBay currently offering 20% off everything today until 6pm GMT using code PNY2018. I bagged Who Can I Be Now for £131.82 with free postage as a result, and cancelled my Amazon order. Best price ever?
Just saved 20% off The Who Studio Albums which I had been watching for quite a while, so glad I didn’t bite two weeks ago, you just saved me a bundle. Ta!
That’s two “heads-up” posts from Scott and Kristan that have saved me about £100 in two days.
I just love this place, it’ll ruin me.

I scored the Suede Dog Man Star box! Thought it was out of print, may be just a small quantity they found somewhere? £94, which is lowest price I have ever seen since wanting to buy this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01HHYQABE
In case anyone is interested, there’s currently reductions on most things on the official Parlophone Bowie store. White vinyl No Plan with lithograph is just £31.44!!
Great stuff. I was having a bit of a jest about the price of that No Plan, although the Eno remasters are of course fab bargains to be grabbed while they’re still in print and easy to get.

Daniel

Yes…57 GBP total posted to US (though exchange is not as good anymore)! This was my favorite Bowie period so ordered yesterday!! Thanks!!
I wonder if they’ll ever print a version of this box with the replacement disc. Soon the individual releases will be available, and I guess these box sets are meant to be limited runs, so what would be the point of repressing the entire box?
Why would they repress the entire box? There’s one serious issue, on one album. So just replace that. The single CD releases will soon be out, and even if people miss the return process, they’ll be able to buy a fixed Heroes for £5 or less.
Dean: the last three single CD remasters, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans and Station to Station, were £10 each in all London stores on release date and subsequently increased to more. Where did you see them for £5?
Diamond dogs is currently £5. Young Americans is £7, and secondhand is £5. Station to Station is indeed more expensive at £12, secondhand at £8 right now. Those are Amazon prices, I haven’t checked Ebay.
I didn’t record a detailed up and down since their release. My point is, even if people miss the replacement program, they won’t have to pay an arm and a leg to get a replacement cheaply. These are CD prices, by the way, I’ve no interest in Vinyl.

Tracey

Wow! Great prices for both NCIANT and Urban Hymns box sets! Sometimes patience pays off…but not always. It’s hard to judge whether to make a purchase upon release or wait for the price to drop and run the risk of losing out because of a smaller production run (i.e. TFF, Big Country BBC, Dead or Alive, Oasis etc.)
To me that’s all part of the game. When to leap?
I missed out on the Cheap Xmas Donald Fagen UK first price of £73, I dithered and leapt at £77 just before launch “wondering” out loud whether to go now or wait until post launch. Glad I didn’t delay too much as it is £89, give or take, but it could have just as easily been £63 in the weeks after launch. Then the worry is will there be a lightning SDE deal alert for, say, £48 or will it sail inexorably up into the £100s.
Not that I ever have, but I imagine it’s a bit like dabbling at the lower end of the stock market. When to leap in and when to stay out and we all have our price where “over-priced” becomes “decent value” and draws us in… like Flowers in the dirt…

I sent my first request in on 8th December, heard nothing, sent 2nd request in last week, heard nothing.
No idea on what criteria they are handling these requests, on the DB blogs many are saying they have received theirs. They come in plain covers. bUT also many complaint they have heard nothing!!
Good tip, thanks. Actually bought the Fairport Convention box from HMV at the same price as they also have free postage and I wanted to give the business to someone other than Amazon.

i think £65 should have been the rrp –
i’ve bought 3 rhino box sets recently for about £22 each (tim buckley, wilson pickett & dr john) – all with more far more albums, better remastering & the only thing missing was quality of the packaging – but not £45 more of extra packaging. that’s the only thing going for this over getting older masters. i actually think even the 1999 emi’s are on a par, if not slightly better, in terms of sound (although scary monsters from this set isn’t too bad, and stage is ok).
