Music on Special Offer Thread?

Posted by: sjt on 14 December 2016

I am wondering if it would be legit to have a thread in here dedicated to music album downloads from legitimate retailers that are currently on special offer.

As an example I was just looking through the what are you listening to mega thread just now and came across the Melody Gardot record because someone was listening to it. I have wanted this for a while but it was always expensive (about 20 quid). On a whim I went over to a place I usually go to buy music downloads and by a blind stroke of luck it was on special offer at just over half price. Deluxe edition is cheaper than the standard edition! I bought it straight away.

So I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to posting albums that are on special offer at the moment with not-so-subtle hints as to where you could get them from, when the offer expires and how much is knocked off etc, so people could see instantly anything that was on special. It would certainly be a thread I would come back to often.

I did a search and couldn't find anything like this in the forum, but usually the searches on these forums are rubbish so this is not a guarantee!

There might need to be a few rules, e.g. the poster has no affiliation with the seller, only legitimate download shops / sites etc.

Just a thought still in the half-bakery...

Not sure if this is a special offer or just a pricing blip from Qobuz.

Harmony Rockets - Lachesis Clotho Atropos

Four star review on page 86 of this month's Mojo

Qobuz have it for £1.59 which is strange as 7 Digital are at £10.99 and Boomkat £3.95

From the few fragments online that sounds like a n-lose punt. Thanks Andy.

Possibly not quite the same degree of wow, but Qobuz are selling Fishmans' "Long Season" - the fourth best album of 1996 according to rateyourmusic.com - for £1.49 in 16/44.1. The cheapest CD copy on amazon.co.uk is ten times that price.

You can download a free DSD sampler (about 45 minutes of music) from nativeDSD.com

Bloody awful

Juno download seem to have a standard price of £12.49 for box-sets, I’ve just d9wnloaded the Clash Sound System set for that price, plus a Macca compilation and a Queen compilation.

And the John Lennon ‘Gimme Some Truth’ collection, which I may have mentioned here previously. Some bargainaceous stuff on Juno.
