Thanks for the HRA Sale On tip, I’ve replaced a few old CD rips e.g. Eagles “One Of Those Nights” FLAC 192
Qobuz are doing an offer on Stevie Wonder’s catalogue to celebrate his 70th birthday.
The prices were pretty jacked up to start with so I suppose it’s a special offer in the technical sense.
Presto Classical currently has many DG and Decca classical boxed sets with as much as 50% discount. Well worth a look as lots of excellent bargains on recommended recordings.
A quick heads ups for vinyl spinning jazz fans on here; W H Smiths are currently selling the 2014 Atlantic John Coltrane Giant Steps LP reissue for just £5.99. This is pressed by Optimal and according to comments on Discogs, should be a good 'un.
Cheers Richard - just ordered.

I didn’t even know WH Smith were selling vinyl, so worth posting for that alone.
(Takes me back to the old days when you could buy lp’s in WH Smith …)
… and Woolworths and Boots.
…and of course not forgetting, John Menzies.
My town didn’t have one. I heard they were good.
Curtis Mayfield, Keep On Keeping On boxset available for £48 (vinyl) and £17 (CD) on big river.
The vinyl is a crazy bargain at that price. A superb set, nicely pressed and presented.
Indeed it is, as is the CD price. I’ve been thinking of getting this vinyl boxset for a while. I’ve got the CD boxset, but I’ve been getting back into vinyl recently and I’d read all the favourable comments about the vinyl boxset on this forum. So, at that price I thought it was well worth ordering.
Rough Trade have a deal on their (CD & vinyl) Box Sets at the moment.
I notice Blue Note have a 20% sale on, not sure how good that is but may be worth checking out
The UK River has Deep Purple Live In Paris 1975 for £11.95 at the moment. That’s pretty good for a triple LP that gets good reviews on the Hoffman forum.
Get all 10 Courtney Barnett releases for just AUD66.60 on Bandcamp. (From memory I believe some tracks are 24 bit as well. )
Also all day tomorrow Friday, June 5th, midnight to midnight PST (add 8 hours for the UK, 9 hours for CET), Bandcamp are once again waiving their fees meaning 100% of the money is going to the artist.
Warning: Received the Curtis Mayfield box set from the big river and the first self-titled album was badly warped. Ordered a replacement and this arrived today and the same album is even worse than the first one. It’s almost warped enough to form a bowl!
They’re going back for a refund and I’ll order it from a better supplier.
Oh no, what a shame! I bought my box set from Amazon in February of last year and it was perfect.
