how much is a small fortune. it's not even a site exclusive (like the abc boxset), so it really doesn't matter how much it ends up costing.

everything gets discounted nowadays, at other sites besides amazon.

there are plenty of places to get a substantial savings if you wait also.

anyone that pays full price for compilations nowadays, has never heard of the internet or google.

Actually what i meant to say and never mind about the cost is that this is a shit compilation and only that 3rd CD holds any interest to me. If that's the actual album cover oh dear embarrassing or what :roll:

I knew Amazon would charge stupid money for this and they can shove it right up their arses. That cover doesn't get any better everytime you look it at and looks like it was designed by a 5 year old.

Yes it is. But not a funny joke, more like the artwork from a not very gifted fan...

What is actually worrying is that in most cases the amazon preorder prices are usually a joke and come down in price but townsend records have it listed on their website for £86.99 https://www.townsend-records.co.uk/prod ... 2557025811 which makes you think that will be close to the actual price.

It's very strange that when you search for the CD+DVD, Deluxe Edition on Amazon it's nowhere to be seen because i had to bookmark that link. Do they have secret pages or something ?

I would imagine this confirms the price it's going to be http://store.udiscovermusic.com/*/*/Ant ... ARI0000000 I hope hardly anybody buys it money grabbing gits.

If you compare the price of this vs. The Dead or Alive box set, this is a rip off. Also I agree with you Moni, searching for this thing is like some weird puzzle. Sometimes you find it, sometimes you don't.

This has to rate as the biggest rip off of all time. £80 for 3 x CD 1 x DVD.

I think they are going to get a lot of stick about this release.

I certainly won't be buying it......It should be no more than £39.99 and I think that is expensive!!

complain all you want about the price,
most of the signed versions are sold out, that means 200 copies have already been sold,
the deluxe cd and the lp with the signed prints:.

here is more artwork:
