20% off at Music Magpie...

...today and tomorrow if you go through eBay, spend £20 minimum and add the code PAYME20 at the checkout. I think the max discount you can get is £80. T&Cs here -

In addition to all the second-hand stuff there are a few new goodies too, including Mingus’ Black Saint and Plays Piano on Superior Viaduct for c.£16 each after discount, which is tempting. They are listed as CDs in the titles, but show as vinyl lower down the description. And the catalogue number given confirms it.

Edit: the link doesn’t work, but takes you to eBay where the promo is shown in a small box at the top of the page.

Thanks! You've saved/cost me a fortune.

They've really got lots of stuff, including much of the Superior Viaduct catalogue - although the vinyl is listed as CD.

Also came across this:

It's not brilliant - there are a couple of pressing issues on my copy at least - but at the price it's a good buy IMO.

Thanks for this; I've ordered the 2 Mingus's, with a message to the seller to hopefully clarify that they are indeed LPs rather than CDs.

I bought them too, but didn’t think about a message until afterwards. So I’ve taken screenshots including the listing number and the description in case of mishap.

It seems you can only get 20% off on one visit, which means I wouldn’t be able to go back for the Coltrane box linked to by Sean above. Probably no bad thing!

A bump as this finishes at midnight.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
Picked up the Mingus Black Saint for £16, Fela Kuti Box Set Vol 4 for £57.54, plus a couple of Poppydisc Sun ra reissues for £10 each: Sun Ra Jazz Vol 1, & Sun Ra Supersonic Jazz.

Mine have arrived, definitely vinyl, decent mailers, look very nice.

BTW apologies if anyone here bought the 1st UK pressing of Black Saint on eBay a couple of days ago. It was me that pushed you up to nearly 40 smackers.

 

[Elephantears]

Mine have arrived too. Black Saint very good but Plays Piano is warped. Gutted I missed the Fela Kuti box set.

 

[Seanm]

My Black Saint warped tf. Sounds great though. Will have to check the others.

 

[Elephantears]

I emailed asking for a replacement and they are offering refund on return. I said I wanted a replacement not a refund. Perhaps this will be yet another annoying saga; let's see.

 

[Seanm]

My last one arrived today, Ornette's To Whom Keeps a Record. Nasty scuffs.

I'm finding the quality of Superior Viaduct pressings very hit and miss. I'm guessing they're using a number of different plants.

Just ordered Black Saint but didn't know there was a discount. Hopefully when it arrives it won't be warped. I looked for ages for an Impulse version that was a reasonable price - but to no avail.
