In any case, you gotta be fast: after I got mine on Tuesday evening, I checked the product page and it was back to the old price in less than two minutes.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this one:



Currently selling for a tad under $29 at Amazon.com. Is it me or is digital Mahler sets for under $30 becoming the norm now. A few months ago the Zinman set was also under $30.

Thanks! Duly purchased.

You're welcome! It is such a great deal! I am tempted to buy another one, but I am resisting it. Still, it makes a wonderful gift to a pianophile!   :P

Not sure if anyone here is into jazz, and apologies for mucking up the thread if this shouldn't be allowed, but...

AmazonUS MP seller has John Coltrane's complete Prestige albums on 12 CDs for < $27 + shipping. By far cheaper than I've seen elsewhere

Shouldn't that be on the "New releases" thread? Or, just maybe, is the starting price tag so low that it automatically qualifies as "super-duper cheap bargain"?

Well, here it is ..

I have most of that, I think, but if the price is right....Only Amazon France seems to show it now, with a release date of late August, and no price or (like usual with Amazon) no actual contents listing. Do you have more details?

Amazon Canada has it too, and it ain't cheap there.
It's all good...

I'm not sure why James listed that Gould set here. Shouldn't it be posted in the 'New Releases' thread? It's certainly not a 'Super-Duper Cheap Bargain'.

Thanks.  Definitely do not need it at that price.

just in case, that is the Italian albums set, minimal booklet as far as I know ... there's also a scaled down version of the old huge Prestige box with all the recordings included plus a large booklet with notes, going for 55€ at jpc.de:
https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/art/John-Coltrane-1926-1967-The-Prestige-Recordings/hnum/1988951
I don't have it, but saw a friend's copy of it and plus I've got the Miles Prestige 8CD set in a similar scaled-down edition and it's pretty nice, presentation wise, though of course no match for the original LP sized box with 12" x 12" booklet ... which I don't have, either, I went for the three thematically split smaller boxes, which are splendid of course, but I guess pricey by now (Fearless Leader, Side Steps, Interplay - plus there's a 4CD set with the Miles Quintet Prestige recordings, adding some rare live material by the group that completes the whole run of Coltrane on Prestige).

Prices on the Gould Bach box have started to drop now in anticipation of the complete set. It's down to around 50 pounds at amazon uk. Probably low at amazon.it too.
