RayB Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Today I pre-ordered the Coltrane box set 'Heavyweight Champion' from Amazon.uk for the amazing price of £25.39. I understand that it's repackaged in a clamshell box with card sleeves. Release dated quoted as 8th October. Apparently it's part of a greater reissue programme by Warner Jazz/Rhino from the Warner and Atlantic catalogues which will include Mingus' 6 cd set 'Passions of a man'. Just in time for Christmas, my wife has been informed!!! Edited August 18, 2013 by RayB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I placed an order for five box sets at Amazon UK today - four Original Album Series sets and the Kevin Ayers Harvest set. The total came to $89.41, including the $11.35 Amazon charged me for transatlantic shipping. (Amazon converted the pound at $1.61.) That's an average of $17.88 per box set, or $3.58 per disc, including shipping. This is all to say that these 5-disc sets are cheap at Amazon UK right now. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=Original+Album+Series&hasWorkingJavascript=1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007FQW7LM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 The USA doesn't charge any import duties for CD's from the UK, and as far as I know, from anywhere in the world. I've never had to pay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try amazon.ca, this is where I got mine: http://www.amazon.ca/Complete-Pepper-Ronnie-Scotts-Vinyl/dp/B004AGN9LW/ I didn't go through the whole box yet, but it sounds phenomenal; can't compare because I don't have the cd version.

I've pencilled it in for the birthday. Remember the house notice at Ronnie's confirming the gig but didn't make it alas (out of town at the time I think). I have the first Mole release so know what to expect music-wise. Edited September 1, 2013 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate paying North American postal premiums. For some reason amazon.co.uk ships very cheaply to Canada, and with that and the VAT deduction there's always stuff in my shopping cart...

Incredible prices on those. I'll bet the shipping charges are high, though. Might double your cost, but it still may be less than other sources... Shipping on Amazon Marketplace is $3.99 per item ordered, so both still come in under $20. While the price for the Shaw set has risen somewhat recently, it's still worth the purchase. I bought this set for the above price recently and it's easily one of my better purchases in quite some time. Take the leap. You'll be glad you did! http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005QOR1ZM/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new Edited September 8, 2013 by Tom 1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
