    Joni Mitchell

    The Reprise Albums (1968-1971) 4LP vinyl box set

    https://www.amazon.com.au/Reprise-Albums-1968-1971-Joni-Mitchell/dp/B091WCSTL8/


    $129.12

    There is no telling if this is the US RTI pressing or the EU Optimal version.

    Word of warning if you are after the US version: do not order a copy dispatched by Amazon US. Been down that road twice now. Both copies of a beautiful box set were ruined as if on purpose by inadequate packaging and rough handling. The icing on the cake was a follow-up email from Amazon pointing out I was returning a high proportion of orders...

    I just noticed that Bowie's Brilliant Adventure vinyl LP box has become available from Amazon US for AU$556.
    So I've cancelled my Amazon AU order and re-ordered from Amazon US. I think I have a better chance of getting it, and hopefully Amazon US will send in the factory shipping box inside another shipping box. Fingers crossed.
    Amazon AU also cancelled my Toy 3xCD box set claiming that the supplier informed them that the item is no longer available.

    Good luck with that!

    Does anyone remember Amazon's double-boxed 'Frustration-Free Packaging' from the US? It's gone the way of the Dodo. Pity, because it was good for everybody.

    That’s weird considering the release date is January 2022!

    No idea what the music will be like, but it’s very attractively packaged.

    I've got the 2CD/DVD version of her Greatest Hits. Her muse is this guy called Michel Berger who wrote album after album of material for her (He also wrote Message Personal for Francoise Hardy) . Her 60's French stuff is really good (she actually won Eurovision) and she had a parallel career in Germany with a completely different sound.

    Her 1968 album (released in 1967) is a psyche girl pop classic.

    For JB delivery, would you recommend Toll over Australia Post or vice versa?

    Neither. Store pick up or nothing. Unless you are ordering a cheap CD.
    If you can be bothered find my recent posts on JB delivery experiences and you'll know why.

    It's a crapshoot. Sometimes box sets aren't even shipped in their factory shipping boxes, like the vinyl Let It Be box shipped by Amazon AU.

    I buy quite a bit of camping gear on-line from Snowys in South Aust. and they use Toll and delivery is very fast and efficient - although they have left my orders in strange places around my house if I am not at home!

    Black Friday is becoming Ground Hog Day. It is the same every year - lots of presale emails with promises of Black Friday bargains and what do you get ; 20% off over priced products and most retailers only making big reductions on slow moving unwanted stock.

    Plus they offer you stuff you've rejected at the low price for a higher price.
