A few other amazon.co.uk bargains

[David Ayers]

Complete Verve Billie Holiday at £33.97 here, also the Verve Studio Masters at £24.97. Also worth checking Ella and Louis, and Ella's Gershwin and Ellington Songbooks, and lower than usual prices on Coltrane Complete VV and Complete Impulse.

As well as the outright bargains on Basie and Farlow Mosaics (£26.97) I mentioned elsewhere. These prices include 17.5% sales tax which is not payable for buyers outside EU, and postage is per item not per disk so works out well on box sets (I *think*).

Those prices will end VERY SOON.

Edit: It's all here on this page: bargain boxes

Just ordered the Ella & Louis set... thanks!

The Miles Jack Johnson is also pretty cheap (long box version, I guess, didn't check)

For those interested in classical, Amazon.co.uk also currently has great deals (50% off) on full price box sets from Universal Classics:

Good call, Claude. My DFD Schubert Lieder arrived just now - £27 including shipping, even less than the current price. This is the same Universal sale I mentioned when it began. Europadisc closed their version of this sale yesterday, MDT close today, so my guess is that amazon will not be too far behind.

I'd certainly say anyone on the fence over Basie (at £26.97) should JUMP...

Edited to add that the Fischer Dieskau Schubert is the compact edition WITH complete texts and translations into English, plus a mix of translations and paraphrases in French. So you are sorted for life with this set, even if all you want to begin with are the three major cycles.

Here is the MDT version, for reference - ending today. Shipping issues are different with MDT, and jazz is not included.

[Pete B]

Thanks for the heads up David. I jumped off the Basie fence - I can't imagine a better price.

[tjobbe]

thanks David for the heads-up ! The Ella's are tempting....

Cheers, Tjobbe

EDIT: The Nina Simone on Verve/Phillips for 15£ might be as a great deal...

EDIT2: haven't seen that before but Amazon.uk.co properly calculates the slightly lower german VAT rates Thx !

Hi!

I would like to recommend The Magic Voices by Singers Unlimited. This is a great longboxset with a fantastic booklet (book) with lots of interesting info and interviews. Super good sound quality too!

Also The Eddie Harris Anthology is great great great!

Thanks David. Just ordered the Basie set.

[neveronfriday]

God, I just HATE this board.

[bluesbro]

I ordered the Ella and Louis and the Ella -Ellington songbook for roughly 36 bucks shipped, is a steal.

[White Lightning]

Thanks David. Just ordered the Basie set.

Same here. Thanx!

[sidewinder]

Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Man from Ipanema for 14£

Cheers, Tjobbe

That one is fantastic. Highly recommended at the price !

[Dave James]

Moi aussi on the Basie. I already have the two Roulette Mosaics, but at this price, I couldn't pass it up. The fact that our own Chris Albertson penned the liner notes only makes it that much better.

Up over and out.

Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Man from Ipanema for 14£

Cheers, Tjobbe

That one is fantastic. Highly recommended at the price !

I feared that ...and now those bastards just reduce the price for the Getz again to below 9 Pounds....they want me to exeed my Credit Card limit

Cheers, Tjobbe

P.S. I believe there is some truth behind the Verve C.E.O. Thread...

[sidewinder]

While you are assaulting your credit card on amazon.co.uk, don't forget the various Rhapsody Films DVD releases that can be had at their market place for £7.99, a saving of £9 each.

The Getz is £8.96 and availble in 4-6 weeks?

Gone?

Very likely. There was only one left when I placed my order.

[tonym]

Aaaarghhhh.........................................

Ella & Duke or Jobim? I don't normally like 'selections' so I'm tempted by the Ella but the Jobim will be soooo beautiful..............

[JohnJ]

That really is a great price on the Getz box. It is now showing 1-2 weeks availability so maybe o.k.

Also the Sinatra Platinum Collection, a 3CD Capitol best of set, is available for the amazingly low price of 0.97 pounds. Definitely a bargain.

[tjobbe]

sorry to put some "non Jazz" on the board here but being an Amazon UK costumer now, they send me some link to the brand new Moody Blues SA-CD's where at least I'm interested in that Threshold of a dream.

The two single SA-CD's are at 9 and the three double SA-CD's are at 11£....maybe some is interested in those as well when ordering some of the boxes.

Cheers, Tjobbe
