    Per SuperDeluxeEdition, Amazon.UK is selling the DELUXE version of the new Rolling Stones-Blue & Lonesome for 34.99GBP.

    The deal kicks in if you buy 3 copies.
    (So, buy one, get two free!!!)

    So, if you buy 3 copies at Amazon.UK, they roughly average at $11 each.

    Great stocking stuffers!!!

    Good deal, although the Deluxe Version is not very deluxe. Just a picture book and some postcards.

    Yes, I agree it's underwhelming...

    For the price of $49.98 (as listed on the official Rolling Stones website), Why didn't they add 1 or 2 bonus tracks?

    Since this is a buy one, get two free sale, I'm assuming AmazonUK is way overstocked, and just wants to move the product out.

    Maybe I'm missing something or maybe this deal already ended, but I am not seeing how to get it to work..

    It still works now.

    To get this deal on Amazon.UK, you must:
    1. Locate the RS "Blue & Lonesome" DeluxeBox
    2. Change quantity to 3
    3. Proceed to checkout
    4. The total amount should be for 34.99GBP OR LESS (if VAT was automatically deducted). That is the price of one box.

    (Sorry, I'm not Link-capable..)
    Good Luck!

    Thanks for the hand holding l-b.

    My problem was that I wasn't proceeding to checkout, just looking at my cart. My total came to $33.17 delivered to Oregon. Not bad..

    Yes, this Amazon deal states:
    "Buy 3 items from the qualifying promotion..."
    I wonder if any other Titles are included in this promotion?

    I tried, without any luck...
    (Edit: now I see that Hendrix-Machine Gun is)

    Can anyone find the list of titles on Amazon?

    The Machine Gun vinyl qualifies for this promo?

    Yes, as far as I could tell.

    EDIT- my "total" said $15.58 in the window before final checkout, but final checkout window does not. So the answer is NO, apparently.

    Apologies for the confusion..

    Actually, for non-EU buyers, the deal is even better, it's buy 3, get 2-and-a-bit free!! I had already bought this as a stocking filler for my wife, but just bought another 3 to give away to friends. Amazon's software is not clever enough to remove the VAT from the 2 full price copies it deducts when applying the offer, so my total was 25.06GBP ($31.77) with shipping, even though my unit cost is 29.16GBP.

    Even if this gets cancelled, it's fun just for the hell of it!

    Many thanks for the heads-up.

    Good deal, but the "deluxe" differs form the regular CD with a book and postcards showing pictures of men in their 70s. Those who bought for friends should probably warn them! This should be priced at a dollar or two above the normal price only.

    Yeah these crappy super versions are a joke.

    I remember when Elton John released Captain Fantastic... You got two magazines and a poster with the album... And you could buy the album for $2.99 on the day it was released.

    Then I guess you two are glad that you didn't pay $49.98 for this when it first came out...?
    It's not even sold as a limited edition, nor numbered.

    Thinking about it, the list price is a "slap in the face" to the hardcore fans.

    (Yes, I understand no one is forced to buy it, but if you're a fan/collector, you can understand and relate to that sinking feeling you've be had.)
    :( :realmad: :(

    Shouldn't this be in the 'Christmas foods/treats' thread??? :laugh:

    I woke up to the following message from Amazon UK this morning:

    We thought you'd like to know that we've dispatched this portion of your order separately to give you a quicker service, at no additional cost to you. The remainder of your order will follow as soon as those items become available. If you need to return an item or manage other orders, please visit {Your Orders hyperlink} on Amazon.co.uk.

    So, not only do I get this for a crazy price, but they are going to ship them as two separate packages (two have shipped, one to follow)!! Wild!
