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...
It was understood HH, but my 14 year old inner self finally gave way to the Callasophobia that's been bubbling up for some time.

This comes out on 7th April - under a tenner for what looks like 8 albums (on 4 CDs):
From Amazon:
Bridging the gap between big band, modal, third wave and jazz fusion, across more than five decades, Gil Evans will be forever recognised as one of the leading and most daring composers and arrangers to have worked in the jazz genre. A highly talented pianist in his own right, Evans was best known for his work organising and conducting groups and orchestras for other artists, such as those of Charlie Parker, Johnny Mathis and, most notably, Miles Davis. However, Evans also produced a series of exceptional albums under his own name, which received widespread praise from critics, particularly those he released during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It remains this body of work that most readily recalls the pure genius of this master musician, whose enormous influence on the development of jazz is unquestionable. By the end of the 1940s, Evans modest New York apartment had become a popular hangout for young jazz musicians, including Gerry Mulligan, George Russell, Lee Konitz, George Russell and Miles Davis. It was through these meetings that the Miles Davis nonet was formed, and following a short engagement at the Royal Roost club in New York, produced the sessions that would be released as Birth Of The Cool (Capitol, 1957), for which Evans provided the arrangements. By the end of the decade this partnership had produced three more classic albums: Miles Ahead (Columbia, 1957), Porgy And Bess (Columbia, 1958) and the Grammy Award-winning Sketches Of Spain (Columbia, 1960). This would be their most fruitful period, although they would sporadically work together throughout the 1960s, and again in the 1980s. This four disc collection, containing over five hours of music, features the entirety of Gil Evans solo output during the 1950s and 1960s. In addition, this set houses a selection of the finest material recorded by Gil and Miles Davis together, and includes all of Evans compositions recorded by the duo. Demonstrating the magnificent talents of Gil Evans as a musician, arranger and composer, this compilation is both a fine introduction to this maestro s work and a welcome reminder of his enduring influence, enormous legacy and sublime output.
Only 2,83 euro at Qobuz!
