Good deals on Amazon.co.uk--updated regularly (Part Two)

I picked up this one:

The Bee Gees - Mythology (4 CD box set) - £8.00
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mythology-B...=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1357826328&sr=1-1​

 

Thanks, will finally pick this up!

 

Thanks to Gort Mark for fixing this threads title. Now it's back to those bargains...

 

Dave Davies 'Hidden Treasures', £3:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hidden-Trea...=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1358297999&sr=1-1

 

That's a great Dave Davies CD! Bargain!

 

A tip for people posting links to Amazon products:

On each product page is a "share" option (by the email, facebook, twitter and pinterest icons). If you click on that, a box comes up with a permalink, i.e., a short URL to the product page.

You can copy and past that permalink, instead of using the overly long URL address from your browser for that page.

Example:

The Rolling Stones: GRRR! [Blu-Ray Audio]
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009X1SZFO

 

But I like the overly long gobley-de-gook browser addresses! But seriously.......thanks for the heads up, I never knew. A bit like using the 'Add This' browser plug-in for twitter

Just ordered that Johnny Cash Columbia box set shipped for $177 (I have Prime Mbrship)

Michael Jackson This is It Blu-Ray (region free) UKP 2.10

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002VJJGLW

 

The region-free blu-ray version of Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection is available cheap again for only £27.00 (about $42.63 USD) plus about $5.00 shipping at Amazon UK. (It's $127 on Amazon US.) I got mine from there and it is great!

As you in the U.S., I don't see how you benefit from Prime membership when ordering from amazon.co.uk. You obviously won't get free shipping and won't get the item in two days.

 

I've never noticed any Prime membership benefit for the UK site either. Also, credit card points, mp3 credits and Amazon gift card balances can't be used. That being said, they sure offer some puzzlingly great prices at times!

 

There aren't any benefits. Your U.S. Prime membership is only for orders from the U.S. store. All orders from Amazon Uk and other countries include shipping for U.S. customers. You get to use the same login at the UK site but that's about all that comes from the US account.

 

I picked up Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series [Blu-ray][Region Free] (complete except for "The Plan") for about $53 shipped.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0027UY8B8

 

Thanks for heads-up. I ordered this fraking awesome deal as well.

 

$177 shipped...$5.07 shipping. Either way it's a good deal...

 

Amazon UK is making me go broke. Stanley Kubrick: Visionary Filmmaker Collection [Blu-Ray Region Free] is about $35 shipped. Includes Lolita and all the films from 2001 to Eyes Wide Shut and the Life in Pictures documentary. The same collection at Amazon US is over $116 (but includes Strangelove and Spartacus). I personally don't consider Spartacus part of the oeuvre and picked up the region-free Strangelove for $11 more. Be sure to choose Amazon UK as the seller and pay in British pounds to save some money as their exchange rate is bad.

John Coltrane - Blue Trane Mono and Stereo £5

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...tails?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=&tag=vglnk-uk-c45-21

 

Garbage reissue on the pseudo bootleg Not Now label. Pass.

 

You forgot to say that it's the mono and stereo vinyl 180G! So an even better deal. I just got one - after VAT removal it's 4 quid!!!

 

Even worse than cd.This is a crappy gray market product.The label has no access to masters, so it will be either a needle drop or from cd sources.

 

I had found one reference online to it being a decent sounding pressing, a few posts down here, but no reference to what review(s) they are talking about, no details, etc. I ordered it last night but based on kwadguys comments, just cancelled. I trust the SH gang more!

It is, however, interesting that soundstagedirect also sells this reissue; didn't know they trafficked in gray market stuff:

Well it's $32.95 on Soundstage + shipping. I'll keep my order open as it's so cheap. If it sounds really awful I'll report back. Someone else on the forum had reported that the mono disc sounded good. Only one way to find out eh? I can risk a fiver rather than thirty knickers..
