Lol, me too, I bet it never arrives!

Ornette Coleman ten-disc vinyl box set of the Atlantic years due for release in May through Rhino, available for pre-order from Amazon Italy for 5.95 euros. Hmm, let's see if they honour my order at that price.

Well, it seemed rude not to order.

 

[jackbarron]

Mmm, I've got one as well.

Thanks, I've placed an order. Let's see.

 

[Bob McC]

Given it a try!

 

[Stunsworth]

Hey, stop it! The more people order it the less chance I have of getting my copy.

 

[carruthersesq]

I’ve jumped on the bandwagon also...

 

[mjw]

Me too. Happy to pay the postage on this occasion.

 

[Rob998]

I don't think you'll have to...

 

[Stuart Frazer]

My order has been cancelled by Amazon due to incorrect price.

 

[jackbarron]

Likewise.

Meh. Showing as Unavailable now

“è stata annullata” - bugger.

 

[Stunsworth]

Oh well, it was worth a pop.

This Roxy Music box set by, er, Roxy Music, is currently available to order from Amazon US for $64.36 (£48.06 less US tax). With shipping and Amazon's Import Fee Deposit, it might arrive with a total cost of £63.92. I predict Royal Mail will want a handling fee (£8.50, I think), however, and the VAT cost predicted by Amazon might not be bang on, but I think it's quite likely that the total cost won't exceed £80. I've placed an order and now hope for the best. Fwiw, it's currently out of stock but you can still order and it'll ship as soon as it's back in stock. This is the price the box set should have been, if not a wee bit better than that, as there's been mild uproar at the price of £130 for a box set that doesn't contain vinyl or the new Stephen Wilson stereo mix in hi-res. It is what it is and at £80 or less, it'll soon be in my collection

EDIT: if the link above redirects to Amazon UK, just go to www.amazon.com and type in Roxy Music box set and it should come up.

That Roxy seems expensive for 3 CDs and a DVD or am I missing something?

 

[windhoek]

I think there's a (coffee table) book as well, but what you say is bang on the money regarding the £130 price here in the UK and equivalent elsewhere - it's a rip off!

 

[Stunsworth]

Ah, I didn’t see that- it’s in the description.

That Roxy boxset is a lovely thing. Expensive, but lovely.
