The Super-Duper Cheap Bargains Thread

[71 dB]

I ordered mine just the other day, prior to your post.  They only had 1 copy left after my order.  (2 Super Audio set)

Great 'heads up'

I posted here immediately after I had purchased my copy, so about 10 copies have been sold in minutes.

Arrived today from zoverstocks, described Used - Very Good (they use this terminology for everything),
when in fact, the 2 sacd set is in "As New/Mint" condition...great heads up for £2.

I see the price is now something rediculous at £600 new, £485 used

Good to hear this. My copy hasn't arrived yet...

Holy cow, you are right about that! From £2.08 to £485.50 in a week! Pretty insane!

Discophages blog is reporting the Brilliant Classics Haydn Edition is 73 euro from Amazon Germany.   They also have the Mozart and Bach editions for the same price.

This superb disc is still available at Hyperions Pleae buy me sale for a fiver (£), but probably not for long:

What does Hyperion charge for shipping to the US? I couldn't find it on their site.

[The new erato]

Just go through the motions of ordering and you will see. If you don't like what you see, don't finalize the order. To Norway shipping is free.

Nothing, for a total of £6 or more. If it's less than that, they'll add how much ever is required to bring the total to six, and label that amount as P&P. (Oh, and I'm pretty sure that this is their policy regardless of destination.)

Interesting. I think Hyperion's going to be seeing more orders from me in the future. (I did order the Rubbra/Walton CD.)

For me in the UK it was £2.92 delivered.  Or via USA = $4.00.  Is that about the same? Can't complain either way 

Great deal if you get it Stateside for a cent

Dinnerstein - Bach & Schubert

Actually, much gained.  I bought it when it had just come out.  Not one of the greatest recordings of either Schubert or Bach, but certainly not a bad investment even at (more or less) full price.

In line with the notes on Hyperion, they've expanded the selection of their "Please, Someone Buy Me" as their Summer Sale.

Lots of good things for UK purchasers from selections.com (who also sell via Amazon UK marketplace, so perhaps will deliver elsewhere through that route) including:

http://www.selections.com/violinists-great-artists-10cds.html

which gets a very thorough review here:

http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2011/June11/Violinists_9201.htm

and the (to me) unmissable http://www.selections.com/venetian-vespers-5cds.html

Also Tallis complete works for £14.99, Shostakovich and Richard Strauss Editions for £42.  Etc.

Edit: Don't know where I got the idea that they don't deliver internationally.  They do.

Might have had something to do with I said sometime back: their Marketplace store-front ships to only UK addresses.

Thanks for the alert, anyway. They seem to have good international postage rates (not sure if it applies on a 'per CD' or 'per item' basis) (Confused surcharge for postage). UPDATE: The P&P is quite reasonable, actually.

Yeah, your fault, no doubt.

Does that mean you bought something?

Not yet. I simply had to select a country name at their pre-check-out page, and even without filling in the other mandatory fields, the postage was generated automatically.

Two Bach Bargains:  Some Amazon sellers seems to have gotten into a reverse bidding war over Bowyer's first volume in his integral of Bach's organ works, the end result being that there are copies (new and used) going for around $2 + shipping.

Meanwhile, ClassicalMusicSuperstore has copies of the Brilliant Bach Edition back in stock and they're selling them for $114 each with free super saver shipping.  It's not the cheapest I've ever seen the set, but it's pretty damn good.
