This Week’s Box Set and Reissue Deals
Grab a vinyl or CD bargain


Paul McCartney / The Lyrics Two-volume deluxe book
£66 in the UK but only £40 in Germany. You’ll have to be patient though as this isn’t out until November!

Vienna / Ultravox 5CD+DVD deluxe
Fantastic price for a superb box set.

Joni Mitchell / Early Joni 1963 Vinyl LP
Nine-song CFQC AM performance in Joni Mitchell‘s hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Black Sabbath’s Sabotage 3CD box set (I refuse to count the 2-track CD) is about £50 on Amazon US – £36 plus taxes and shipping – which is about £25-30 cheaper than the insane UK price.
Still pricey, but they’re nicely presented sets.
Bob Marley and the Wailers / Live! / expanded 3LP set with two full shows is €28.30 at amazon.fr ( about £24 )http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/bob-marley-and-the-wailers-live-expanded-3lp-set-with-two-full-shows/
Labi Siffre My Song – 50th Anniversary (9CD Box Set) still has a decent deal on the hard to locate on Amazon (UK) “unsigned” version. djangokill and myself used the following link for an “unsigned” copy, but both got signed ones anyway. It’s a great price and worth the risk since the “signed” is currently unavailable. Currently £31.38 here: https://amzn.to/3x7HP09
I also ordered the normal version but when it arrived today, it was the signed one
Nice one SimonP2!
Amazon.de has McCartney lyric book set for 49.99 Euros. Cheapest I’ve seen for a while..
It is the American Green covered version instead of the European one but a great spot. Ordered and unordered the other one.
That Ultravox price is well worth it. I got mine for £35 and don’t regret it all. Loads of great music plus when I bought it, I stuck my old 2 CD release up on eBay and got £9.00 for it, so I look at it that the super deluxe version cost me £26 ! That’s what I tell myself anyway :D
Prince 1999 Super Deluxe 6-disc set is down to £50 on Amazon UK – I don’t expect that to stay at that price for long.
This is an interesting one. It has been “Temporarily Unavailable” at £70 for some time. Now it’s “Temporarily Unavailable” at £50. It will be interesting to see if they can honor these orders.
Amazon will of course provide an Autorip when an order is placed. If they cant subsequently honor the order, and you’ve already downloaded the Autorip, do you get to keep the Autorip without charge?
yes, that’s what happened to me on the HotRats set
I have been following/ trying to get the Kinks Arthur Box Set and that has been Temporarily Out of Stock for ages, but bouncing about in price. I still hope to get it.
They can only honour the orders if they get repressed. I had this with a few box sets which were ‘temporarily out of stock’ for months then I just got an email saying they were cancelling the orders as they could no longer fulfil them.
Bagged, thanks
It’s been ‘temporarily out of stock’ for over 6 months so I wouldn’t hold your breath! I had the same with some other box set which were ‘temporarily out of stock’ & a few months after ordering they just cancelled the orders
Labi Siffre signed box – only appears to be 8 left in stock (at 9pm) so might need to move fast if you want that one…
Ultravox didn’t last – now £46 inc postage. Still not a bad price though…
It’s still £34 from the UK. I just checked…
Just saw this but it’s already back to £46.99
Ah, realised the link is to Amazon.de so the price is in Euros. Works out around £40.
Weird , I’m in UK & I’m not getting £34 – I get £40.87 & £3.57 shipping
Looks like the 2017 ‘live’ Kraftwerk ‘3D – The Catalogue’ box set has had a repress? (Rough Trade are indicating it as a pre-order). Anyway, it has been at sky-high prices on the secondary market for a good while, but Amazon UK now have the 8CD version at £42 (in stock 27 April).
Seems to be 68 quid now?
DJEdster – it seems to default to a merchant (rather than Amazon itself), but if you click on “3 New from £42.81″ below ‘Audio CD £67.91” box you can chose Amazon as the supplier at £42.81 with free p&p. Hope this helps/works for you ..
Thanks, missed this last week. It’s £50.80 this way now but delivery in 1 to 3 weeks? I’ve gone for it anyway because if the price goes back to £42.81 in that period they will probably match it.
£68 quid is reseller available now price. If you look at other seller New & Used pricing you will find the Amazon £42 price.
Thanks. Bargain. For comparison, the Rough Trade pre-order price is £74.99.
Can’t see Amazon as a seller any more…drat!
Amazon is still there as a seller but price has gone up to £52
Back down to £42.81 at 1900 on Friday on Amazon UK – delivery 10 June.
Interesting – I managed to get the Labi Siffre for £26 (yesterdays deal). It’s just arrived and it’s a signed copy.
Even better!
Ditto. Lucky us. Not every deal goes our way, so it’s nice when it does. Bargain indeed!
Scroll to the comments takes a good look away for me. Vertiginous again. Can’t take much to stop this strolling. Miss out on reading articles cause of it.
Just don’t do it for the time being! Might change this…
The scrolling made me dizzy on the vinyl pressing section. Would be great to just jump straight to the comments obv after reading the main section first !.
Not just me then. Cheers Wayne.
Cheers Paul, appreciated.
I love the strolling !
That would be a classic lose/lose-situation for Paul then…
I also don’t have a problem with the scrolling but if it endangers some readers health then i’d say try another way of getting to the comments.
It sounds a bit like the problems that epileptics experience with stroboscopic images.
Yes it is bad, makes me go all weird, just scrolls way too fast.
I realise a lot of work went into this, and i don’t want to piss anybody off (Paul) but i just don’t like it, the old set up was simple and easy to find articles, this is a nightmare and i don’t come on here much since the revamp – used to come on 50+ times a day before!
I get that some people specifically don’t like/have issues with that scroll and I’ll probably get that changed. In terms of the overall change everyone is entitled to their opinion but saying “this is a nightmare”… Really?
I don’t think it’s “a nightmare”. It’s just different… VERY different.
Think i’ll be getting used to it over time but for people who buy their favourite albums over and over again for literally decades i guess that might be a bit too much change at one time. ;-)
Yes, I think it needs condensing in the vertical scale and the horizontal scale of the “advertising” is also taking up too much of the horizontal for me. Everything is too strung out and off-putting.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. You walk into the same room for 10 years and now the furniture has moved and looks and feels slightly different. I get it. There will be tweaks and improvements over time.
Just joined to say this website is great and even better with the new look.
Thank you very much :)
The unsigned version of the Labi Siffre box has jumped up to £40 but the signed box is still available at about £35. So, right now, you’ll pay less to get a signed copy. It’d be rude not to!
