Are there any box bargains currently available?

That Davis set would make for a wonderful gift. I think I'll order two for that purpose.

[erwbol]

A few hours after I placed my order for two of the Davis sets the price is up again from £5.12 to £29.52.

Thanks, JohnJ.

Amazon.co.uk cancelled the order stating the item was incorrectly priced. Oh well, I can't blame them.

My order was also cancelled. Disappointing but understandable.

This looks interesting for fans of the old TV show Secret Agent aka Danger Man. It's a 5-CD soundtrack box.

Danger Man: Original Music from the Hour-Long Episodes - 31.64 GBP (about $49.99)

Miles again, Amazon UK again, 'The Bootleg Series Vol. 2' for 10.17 GBP. Don't think this one is incorrectly priced!

Apparently, I'm very late to the party on this (I discovered several threads on this subject from around 2010-2011 after the fact), but there are a few Mosaic sets available on iTunes at a steep discount. In particular, Stanley Turrentine is $19! That is impulse-buy territory. Should I be boycotting this, however, in solidarity with Mosaic?

I just missed the Pendulum select as it went out of print, but then discovered emusic has the set; mp3, true, but at about $4 I'm not complaining.

The Complete Original Mahavishnu Orchestra Columbia Albums Collection

£14.78 from Amazon UK.

The pricing for these box sets is all over the place. The Brubeck set (currently £155) was advertised and reviewed in Jazzwise this month which suggests it might come down in price.

Sony seems to be reissuing a number of the Popmarket boxes for some reason. I've preordered the Paul Desmond one at £21.47 as it's a better price than previously.

The Brubeck is much cheaper on amazon.it (81€ at this time):

But these boxes aren't even listed on all amazon sites yet ...

@crisp: Do you think these are indeed reissues? I'd rather assume that after selling them exclusively via popmarket, they're now being sold with wider distribution ...

Woody Shaw's The Complete Columbia Albums Collection is being reissued on May 6. Amazon UK's preorder price is £27.99 -- about £4.70 a disc.

[crisp]

The Paul Desmond is even cheaper now at £18.52.

@crisp: Do you think these are indeed reissues? I'd rather assume that after selling them exclusively via popmarket, they're now being sold with wider distribution ...

They've been on sale through Amazon for some time, but suddenly they are being listed as preorders, which implies Sony has repressed and is remarketing them. They are clearly the same sets, but at a lower price than either Popmarket or previously at Amazon. Hope they do the Dexter one next.

[bluesoul]

I'd imagine the regulars here have most of these albums, but anyways the Monk Complete Columbia albums box set is selling for $16.

Anyone know if this will be reissued domestically? - meaning in the US? Been tempted by this set, even though I have the Mosaic (which I'd probably then sell).

[colinmce]

There's a copy at Amazon for $34.95

I'm not sure if it will be reissued domestically, but I've had great success ordering boxes from this series, cheaply, from the UK sellers on the Amazon Marketplace. I'm hoping with this reissue, it will be a bit cheaper than it has been previously. I recently ordered the 7 CD 1971-1975 Weather Report box for $22 with shipping. I'm hoping the Shaw set will be priced in a similar manner.

I'm on the fence about getting it since I also have the Mosaic set. It was my first Mosaic set, so I'll probably hang onto it even if I get the Complete Collection. I'm also tempted by the new Woody Shaw Mosaic even though I have all the 32 Jazz releases and most of the albums on vinyl. I keep telling myself I don't need it, but I keep having that thought, "But it's Woody Shaw!" I must be crazy! lol
