So my original box will have a new big brother to stand beside

People are so stupid.

It’s a good thing that they didn’t name their label Papaya Records.

"Original box?"

Yes and although the box itself was made out of very thin cardboard the book is very very nice and contains the original pressing, here is a bit of info from Mr. Fremer

"While the press release describes the Let It Be album as "chart topping" and it may have eventually done that, when it was first released Beatles fans, bitter, or defeated or deflated that "the dream was over", wholly rejected it. The record store where I worked at the time Minute Man Records in Harvard Square, ordered boxes of the now rare and collectible Let It Be limited edition box set that came with a full color glossy 164 page book documenting the roof top event and studio recordings, thinking it would quickly sell out especially since it was flown in and arrived well before the standard American LP set's release. The box did not sell at all and after a few weeks taking up valuable upper bin space, the hundreds of copies were stacked below to gather dust. Eventually the store sold them off (and not quickly) for $5.00 a piece. Today on Discogs the set's median price is $208.00."

You don't hear people mention that the album later became a cutout and was in the cutout bins in the stores

 

[swam36fc]

in the U.S. anyway. The album became available again on CD in 1987, of course.

On behalf of my wallet and myself, thank you. You've taken the sting out of the sticker shock.

I'll be able to put that $35 saved towards whatever eventual rooftop concert release they put out that -- mysteriously and I'm certain totally coincidentally -- would have fit on that "EP" disc. Of course, that was never the plan, and if they were to remove it I'm certain they would also lower the price accordingly. /s

Either way, can't wait for this release.

Lucky you. ImportCDs has raised the price up to $115.79 before I made my purchase!

I came here to post the price hike, too. I spotted it because I was about to post the deal elsewhere.

edit: glad to see your post below about the deep discount offer that brings it to about this price.

Dang it, I was just getting ready to pull the trigger, and feelin' pretty good about it too; they must be selling like Hot Cakes!

 

[Marplot]

That is unusual because ImportCDs is normally cheaper than their sister site Deep Discount, but one has free shipping and one doesn't. This is the first time in the last 3 years I recall Deep Discount as a better deal.
https://www.deepdiscount.com/let-it...deluxe-5-cdblu-ray-audio-box-set/602507138691$114.50 and s/h should be free

 

[privateuniverse]

Bull Moose is $125.97.

Free shipping. No sales tax, unless you live in Maine or New Hampshire.

 

[Strilo]

Ordered from Bullmoose. Thanks!

 

[LennonCobain]

Try using promo code DEEP10 on Deep Discount. Just got the super deluxe for $109.49 total with taxes and free shipping.

 

[hipp]

I feel the same way. Not saying I won't get this eventually but will at least hold off for a bit, maybe until I hear some reviews. I also confess that I'm getting a little fatigued with dropping $120-150 for big box sets that I only want one disc from, but I realize that this comes with the territory.

Amen to that!!

 

[surroundsoundman]

The pricing is right in the article you linked

Bull Moose Records $125.97, shipped total! And you get points towards a future purchase. Oh and did I mention that they do not charge your card until it is shipped.

Yeah, I forgot about the points thing. They have been so much higher (lately) on other releases...I sort of gave up on them.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Total Price from Deep Discount with 10% off and local sales tax [8.375%] and FREE S/H came to $111.68 so unless someone has it cheaper, I'm going to LET IT BE!
