The fifteen-track Prince album features 14 previously unreleased recordings that explores the behind-the-scenes role Prince played in other artist’s careers. Basically, it’s his versions of the hits he penned for others. CD out already, but this week sees the releases of the deluxe version of purple vinyl.
Glen Campbell / The Legacy 1961-2017
A box set celebrating the career of the legendary Glen Campbell is set to be released next month. Glen Campbell – The Legacy (1961-2017) is actually a revised edition of the 2003 set, with 78 tracks across four CDs.
Travis’ The Man Who box set returns
Travis‘ 1999 album The Man Who is reissued as a four-disc box set, along with a new compilation Live at Glastonbury ’99.
Will Young / Lexicon signed CD
Will Young releases a new album, Lexicon, next month. It’s his seventh album and sees a move to new label Cooking Vinyl. Signed CDs, still available.
Def Leppard / The CD/Vinyl Box Set: Volume Two
This is the second in four planned volumes that will bring us the “complete recorded output” of Def Leppard. This 10LP or 7CD set features albums and rarities and the audio was remastered by Ronan McHugh and Joe Elliott at Joes Garage.
Hot Chip‘s new album is described as a record that is “a celebration of joy but recognises the struggle it can take to get to that point of happiness.” It is produced by Philippe Zdar and Rodaidh McDonald.
Transvision Vamp‘s second album Velveteen (originally released 30 years ago in 1989) is reissued on 180g red vinyl. Features the single Baby, I Don’t Care. Debut Pop Art is also issued on the same day on white vinyl.
A belated thanks Paul, for the heads up on the crazy preorder price of the Def Leppard Vol 2 CD box set from Amazon Spain. I took a punt fully expecting it to not be honoured, but it arrived with me in the UK this week at the ordered price of 21.35 €, a massive saving compared with the current Amazon Spain price of 82.93 €. Great work with the pricing widgets!
re: Def Leppard The CD Box Volume 2
Just received email confirmation that the item has been dispatched @ €17.80, shipping excluded, to Malaysia.
Wishing to say thank you to SDE for the price widgets that provide an opportunity to purchase at such a bargain!
There were also some comments made that amazon will not honour the price. Glad many of us who took a chance at such unbelievable price and are rewarded for it!
I had my doubts given a past experience similar to others. Well worth taking the plunge to see what would happen in any case, but also had confirmation that mine is out for delivery and slated to arrive today by all accounts.
Paul, would like to also say a big thank you for the pricing updates and the work you do on this site. Greatly appreciated!
My Def Leppard CD Box Set Volume Two has arrived – it was delivered this afternoon (Sunday) here in the UK. I ordered it on Thursday evening from Amazon.es and I paid £22.92. Woo-hoo! Thanks to everyone who pointed it out, and thanks Paul.
Has anyone who orderd the Def Leppard Box Set 2 from Amazon Spain had either shipment confirmed or the order cancelled? So far I’ve had neither; it’s been showing as in stock all day!
Just received a confirmation email that my Def Leppard box set was shipped and is the way, at less than half the price it should have sold for, to my mailbox in the U.S. Hoping everyone else who ordered the set at that crazy price gets the same good news. Thanks to Paul Sinclair and SDE for the opportunity!
I have actually enjoyed the Prince offering, got it as a HD download to try out, excellent tracks. The quality varies slightly but what do you expect though.
Will wait until the Prince gets reduced in price to under a tenner as the packaging is really flimsy and not worth the £15 that HMV or Fopp are charging for it at present.
Really, really silly question I know so apologies, but I never buy from the overseas Amazon sites but the price for Def Leppard Vol 2 is ridiculously low at the moment for CD version. So the stupid question is, will the booklets, track listings, etc be in Spanish or English?? Sorry guys, love my boxsets but usually wait to see if there is a reduction on Amazon UK! Thanks
Rolling Stones Rock n Roll circus deluxe is IN STOCK on Amazon USA and it has been for some days now. Bridges to Babylon is released all over the world ECEPT THE UK on the 21st and it is actually IN STOCK on FNAC Spain.
I couldn’t resist the Def Leppard set either at Amazon es. $40.12 delivered to the U.S. Will I need to pay any cross border fees? I appreciate the help and have never ordered from Amazon es to the States.
I just took advantage of the crazy price difference on the Def Leppard box from amazon.es. Even though shipping to the US was almost as much as the CD set itself, I still got it shipped for about $40. Thanks for the widget, Paul!
Just a note on that Def Leppard box set last year i preordered the first box set from Amazon Italy and it was roughly about the same price when it should have been a lot more of course my order was cancelled so don’t be surprised if the same thing happens here.
Has anyone else noticed the increased fashion for rip off postage charges from some retailers and record companies? I ordered an LP from Domino Mart (Domino Records own store) and they charge £5.70 for a single LP that is posted SECOND class. An LP costs £3 to send second class and even if you add in their mailer cost (with bulk buying should be no more than 50p) that £2.20 postage profit per LP probably more than the profit margin on the LP itself. Sandbag are charging £5 for the same second class postal service. Townsend Records Artists Stores charge £5.50 but post first class. Recordstore are the best. They charge £3.95 and only post first class.
Spare a thought for me. I’m moving to Kuwait in four weeks time and got an advert for the Jollification reissue on vinyl. Went to website to check shipping cost for a £21.99 vinyl. £18.99! Or £36.99 by courier. As with normal shipping over there there is no chance of actually receiving it, you’d have to pay for a courier.
Guess my vinyl buying days will be severely curtailed……
Hold fire because I’m hoping to be doing some kind of Jollification vinyl special on the SDE shop. Excuse the name-dropping, but I was actually speaking to Ian Broudie about it last night at the Needle Mythology event at Rough Trade…
Still say that the cover for “Originals” looks like the cover for “Bad”. Obviously I guess because of the red spray paint. I wonder if there were any intention done with and for that. I would not be surprised if that were the case, eh!
@AlexKx
Just look at the cover (back and inside) of ‘Prince – Dirty Mind’ from 1980, you will discover the design there. The cover print was b&w then but it’s the same design – 7 years earlier than Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’
This era of Def Leppard will be a pain in the butt as it starts the bonus disc era. How much of that stuff gets onto these box sets.
Same will go for the next Bowie studio box set. Plenty of bonus stuff there. Two different bonus discs for Reality and loads of stuff for “Outside”.
Wow – price bumped up severely for the 2nd Def Leppard box. I know there are a couple more discs in this one, but given that I just got the first box in the current HMV vinyl sale for less than £70 and other than Adrenalize the albums here are from the period where their star was waning a little, I am thinking it’ll be worth waiting for a good deal on this one.
Worth pointing out that the Prince album is released on CD this Friday, but the vinyl doesn’t come out till July 19th, apparently. This includes the deluxe edition.
Is Liam’s album seriously out this week? In all recent interviews he’s been saying it’s not out til September but there would be a couple more singles before that. So unless he’s releasing singles on Tuesday and Wednesday this seems surprising, albeit in a brilliant way.

Still showing in the progression of the order as yet to be dispatched. I fully expect it to be cancelled though.
Just gotten an email that it’s been dispatched! Wasn’t expecting that!
Mine has been shipped now.
Just delivered – shipped from amazon uk

To quote the Kumars, “is Will Young available” next month or this week?
Thanks Paul, I was in a very lazy tone and didnt want to google for the date. And totally forgot about the calendar thing. Ill check it out

Thanks Paul, keep up the great work!!
Def Leppard volume 2 cd box is $30 to US delivered on amazon Spain … ordered. Didn’t want to buy it but can’t say no at this price …
Rolling Stones Rock n Roll circus deluxe is IN STOCK on Amazon USA and it has been for some days now. Bridges to Babylon is released all over the world ECEPT THE UK on the 21st and it is actually IN STOCK on FNAC Spain.
Also out this week is Kylie Minogue’s conpilation “Step Back In Time” right?
No, that’s next week. You do know there is now a handy SDE Release Calendar that shows you exactly what’s due out, when! :)
Sorry… that should read ‘Wings Wild Life is AU$32 at Amazon.com.au’
Unrelated…. Wings Wild Life 2LP is a lowly AU$32 on Amazon. Best price I have seen. Now waiting on Red Rose Speedway to do the same
The Def Leppard CD box is extremely cheap on amazon.es at the moment, €21. Couldn’t resist at that price.

Worth a try at £22.98 shipped though fully expect it won’t be honoured.

What Records charge maximum £8 regardless of how much you order

I think you’ll find Prince got there well before Michael.

Hmmm I thought they were releasing the CD early but maybe not. Will have to double check…
