Damn I didn't jump quick enough.
Howard,
the price keeps going up and down, just need to wait a while.

I hope Gale(Stu) can keep me posted.
Sally and I discussed it last night, but I got a decidedly frosty response, I should have used some of the money I just got for a center speaker on it.
Never mind perhaps it will go down again soon.
I do wonder why it fluctuates so. Is it to get word of mouth going and then try and catch someone who doesn't notice the price rise?
I wonder why too, Howard…
perhaps a crafty marketing ploy, stimulate interest - get people thinking they're on to a really good bargain…
but how much does it cost to manufacture 16 cd's, and stick them in cardboard… £5?
even when the other overheads like distribution transport, vat etc are included you can be sure they’re still making a handsome buck out of it.

Debs,I got the same email from Amazon as you and I think like you ordered 2 days ago,as I was reading the email, got a knock on the door with the delivery. Expect it sooner maybe. Not sure if I should open the seal or put it in a cupboard for a few years, already got most of it on vinyl and cd?
Andrew.
Just received an email from Amazon...

Damn been stitched up for 65 Quid ! Hope they do the same with the Beatles box set
A game of chance that one, how were you to know that the price would drop from sixty five quids? Still sixty five quids id twice the bargain than what it is now.
So are you on official Beatles box set price watch duties then?
All you have to do is mail amazon .
If your £65 order was being ready for despatch when the price went down to £53?
They will refund you the £12.
Stu.
Mine came this morning. Am currently listenening to this, which, as many reviewers have said, is an enormous improvement on the '87 and '94 masters (and a very good album too)...
Mine came as well this morning - even having taken advantage of the free delivery option.
Impressed I have to admit. For the money I am well pleased.
Very depressing reading some of the reviews for some of the other Floyd box sets - especially WYWH. Do these guys not bother reading about what they are actually buying before pressing the button? It's not like it's buying a lucky dip bag, absolutely everything is noted as to what is in the package. As for the poor fool who noted - even for this price the marbles are clear, oh dear. How to make yourself look a complete d**k and call yourself a fan? Oh well.
I need a new PF shelf now - the existing one is overflowing slightly.
Really looking forward to hearing how some of the early ones sound - 'More' certainly looks like it will be on first.
Received mine today

24-bit at under £100 then I want an alert - please
Is Piper being released by PF on vinyl? I'm not much interested in the other stuff as I've got the original CDs an some vinyl, but a new Piper on vinyl would entice me.
I've got various CD releases of Piper. I used to have a vinyl edition. but I lost it years ago.
Received mine today
me too!
