Everywhere else it's listed at £55.00 - £75.00

Worth a punt?
Got to be at that price.

[keiths]

Cheers,
Keith

[Audio Al]

[daytona600]

There will be a live bluray as well hopefully 5.1

[TCats]

Ordered :)

Me too, thanks for the info..

[Audioman]

Thanks Stephen - Just ordered. Nice to benefit from Amazon's cock up. :)

[Clive]

Nice....thanks! It's not the first time they've made this sort of cock-up with new records.

[Thing Fish]

Ordered as well. Thanks for the heads up.

Almost worth buying 10 and sticking a few on fleabay?

[johnB]

Thanks Stephen, pre-ordered.....Earlier this year iTunes put Ryan Adams' 15 disc live album "Live After Deaf" for sale for first few hours for a tenner......

[chris@panteg]

Yep ,placed an order ,why not , thanks .

[The Grand Wazoo]

Thanks a lot for pointing this out.
You can't arrange for the forthcoming Led Zeppelin live album (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Celebration-Day-3LP-VINYL-Zeppelin/dp/B009E9R1IM/ref=br_lf_m_1000671613_1_3_img?ie=UTF8&s=music&pf_rd_p=327293547&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000671613&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=025TD1DR9DZPPGZCK7J4) (the O2 show) to be a similar price can you?

[snapper]

A taster from the forthcoming album.

I see Amazon are now listing it for £75.00

:eek:

[keiths]

I see Amazon are now listing it for £75.00

:eek:

Yep - I'll be amazed if they actually honour the wrongly priced pre-orders. I'll be delighted to be proved wrong, mind you!

Cheers,
Keith

[Clive]

I'm hoping they have to honour our orders but there could be small print in there...when this happened an order of mine previously they did honour the price though the error was more like a tenner that time.

The taster track is good!

[Sonority]

There is small print, and while we have 'paid' for it, that payment is not taken until despatch date- so they are covered.

With a hell of a lot of these sold and the price differential we may well get an email..

But on the bright side they may just do the honourable thing and let us have them :eyebrows:

From one extreme to the other - £75 (and fulfilled by amazon) is about £20 too much!!

[Thing Fish]

Track does sound good. I hope they do honor the price otherwise I cant afford it.

Yep ,same here .

[keiths]

Same here - but mine said estimated delivery 19 November - I guess that was because I paid the extra 3 quid or wharever it was for express delivery?.

Was worried it was going to say the pre-order was cancelled!

[Thing Fish]

I got the same email.

[TCats]

Me too 19th delivery. Heart was in my mouth when I saw the email

[The Grand Wazoo]

I've just been nosing around the Amazon website and found this:

What we do about mispricings

Despite our best efforts, a small number of the more than 1.5 million items in our catalogue are mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures.

If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the item.

If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

Please note that this policy applies only to products sold and fulfilled by Amazon.co.uk.


Pre-Order Price Guarantee

Amazon.co.uk's price for not-yet-released items sometimes changes between the time the item is listed for sale and the time it's released and dispatched.

Whenever you pre-order an item eligible for our Pre-order Price Guarantee, the price you pay will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.co.uk between the time you place your order up to and including the release date.

A Pre-order Price Guarantee message will appear on your order summary during the checkout process. If you use 1-Click ordering, Pre-order Price Guarantee protection will be automatically applied.

The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24 hours of any price change. Terms and Conditions apply.

Pre-order Price Guarantee does not apply in the case of mispricing, described earlier on this page.



It came from here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=1040614)


Given the bit I have highlighted in bold, I take that to mean that we'd better hope the person on whose discretion we're relying gets two eggs for breakfast, rather than one on the morning of November 22nd!

[keiths]

My feeling is that if they weren't going to honour the low price, they would have cancelled our orders when they informed us of the delay in release? But I'm probably wrong...

[Thing Fish]

Just checked and mine is still on order. Only 10 days to go...:eyebrows:

[Audio Al]

Just had a look on my Amazon and it say this

Dispatch Estimate Monday 19 Nov 2012
Delivery estimate Thursday 22 Nov 2012 - Saturday 24 Nov 2012
Not yet dispatched

So maybe hope yet :)

[Sonority]

I am rather hoping they keep their price, as Blue Lines box set comes out that day also, and that would become an exceedingly expensive Monday..

[Audio Al]

I'm hoping this part means they'll feel obliged to honour their original price.

[Thing Fish]

I got the same email but with a different date...?

"Neil Young & Crazy Horse "Psychedelic Pill [VINYL]"
Estimated arrival date: December 03 2012

I don't think they know when it will be arriving or they are stringing us along...:lol:

[Clive]

I got:

Estimated arrival date: December 06 2012 - December 08 2012

Maybe it's arrival at our delivery address? I chose free postage.

[Thing Fish]

I think you may be right as I've got amazon prime 1st class.

[keiths]

I got the email quoting 3rd Dec. too. I specified next day delivery on my order.

[Audio Al]

Sounds like they applied a %age reduction...

Let's hope they don't notice their error. :)

Looking at your figures again....what they've done is to remove your postage cost.

[Thing Fish]

Received an email from amazon today -

'Hello,
We thought you'd like to know that we've dispatched your item(s). Your order is on the way, and can no longer be changed'.

Arrival date is tomorrow...:D

[Audio Al]

I just had this email as well

Hello,
We thought you'd like to know that we've dispatched your item(s). Your order is on the way, and can no longer be changed. If you need to return an item or manage other orders, please visit Your Orders on Amazon.co.uk.

and its at £18.85 :D

[Clive]

My order is on it's way too but at a cost of £37.70.....but I'm getting tw0 copies. I could sell one on ebay but instead it'll be a Chrissie presi for my brother-in-law.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Mine's been dispatched and its currently languishing in East Kilbride according to the tracking details.

[Sonority]

OOOOOOOHH Excellent stuff.
:cool:
I think there have been so many *cock ups* with this that they had their hand slightly forced - in our favour :)

[Audioman]

My copy has dispatched and only charged £18.85.

[keiths]

My copy has dispatched and only charged £18.85.

...and mine - due to arrive here tomorrow :cool:

[Thing Fish]

I think all our orders are £18.85 which is a damned fine price for a Neil Young tripple album box set.:eek:

I have heard a few tracks off it and it sounds like a great album.

[TCats]

Now Playing delivered 20 minutes ago for the princely sum of £18:85 Sounds good. :)

[Audio Al]

My copy has arrived as well :)

Will Okki Nokki it first later tonight

then some listening over the weekend :)

[keiths]

My copy has arrived as well :)


...and mine :)

Won't get to play it until tonight though :(

[Audioman]

Mine arrived too.

[Thing Fish]

Ditto mine...:)

Nice that it's pressed at Pallas in Germany. It's a quality pressing plant.

[johnB]

Nicely packaged album......and nice price. Thanks for the spot Stephen.

[keiths]

A very good album and a really good, quiet pressing.

But why, oh why, with three inner sleeves available to print with the lyrics etc., did they instead choose to print them in that pathetic little booklet that's literally half the size of a cd booklet? :scratch: :steam:

[Thing Fish]

I was thinking exactly the same thing Keith. They could have done a very nice full size fold over sheet with all sorts of info on...:scratch:

[Sonority]

I'm rather hoping mine finally gets here tomorrow :steam:

It took me half a day to find it in bottom of middle pocket. I was fuming why all the fancy sleeve and no credits until I saw a post about it's size on SH forum. Anyway confirms this is a genuine all analogue job. Perhaps Neil could give those burks at EMI an earwigging over the Beatles reissues.

[The Black Adder]

I'm thinking of getting this but... Been listening to it on YouTube etc.

I dunno... After Greendale I just think he's lost some of the imagination... I'm a bit NY fan but this just sounds a bit weak to me.

Maybe it's a grower... lol

I've only played the first disc. For a start Youtube won't give you any idea how it sounds. I suppose it's typical Crazy Horse repetitive guitar riffs but on a good recording it's quite addictive. First track is 1.5 sides long. I think it reminds me more of Broken Arrow from memory. Can't judge till I hear the whole album.

[The Black Adder]

I'll give it proper go and buy it me thinks...

[Clive]

The quality is good for sure. It is typically repetitive so listening to it "actively" for all 5 sides in one sitting might be a bit much but it is great chilled rock.

[Macca]

Is it a bit like 'Snores with Angels' then? I stopped bothering with Neil Young/Crazy Horse after that one, but if they are rocking it up a bit I will go out and get it.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Mine arrived today.
I have to agree about the booklet - if I'd paid £56 or more, I'd quite rightly be thoroughly pissed off that pennies had been pinched.
For £18 though, it's very nice indeed!

It does sound great.

[Audioman]

Anyone who missed out on the mispriced LPs - there is a Polish ebay seller with it for £25 compared to £55+ in the UK.

[johnB]

You've gotta love a 27 minute Neil Young track that stretches over 2 Sides of an album and includes the lyrics........

"Don't want my mp3
Don't want my mp3

I'm driftin' back

When you hear my song now
You only get five percent
You used to get it all
You used to get it all"

[Thing Fish]

So far I like it. For £18 it's a great record.
