Have we had any major Alliance/Direct2You sales lately?

In the past, it seems like we've gotten some blowout deals toward the end of 1st quarter, but that milestone has already come and gone. Did I miss a major sale at some point over the past couple months?

DeepDiscount/InnerSleeve/ThriftBooks/CollectorsChoice/Oldies.com... they've all been unusually quiet lately, no?

Oldies had a sale because their distributor went out of business and had blowouts. With one less huge distributor, I bet there’s less pressure to have big blowout sales.

Anybody remember if you can combine a coupon code with redeemed rewards points at udiscover?

think i have most of the released TPs i want and preordered some of the latest ones in the double discount error at BN's site. not sure how low the rollins set will go but i'm fine to pay $36ish for it!

Thanks for the tip. Although not $5 per record, I picked up Pernice Brothers, Vic Chesnutt and Pylon records for more than half off regular prices.

I have copies of Gyrate and Chomp, but am curious about the Pylon Box (LP or CD). Anyone get the full package that could comment on the extra stuff?

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Bummer that they upped the prices as the sale went on. Had a couple $5 in the cart and prices were more when I went back.

Yeah - New West can suck one.

You don't start a sale, put all this stuff out there with a price attached and then jack prices up within 24 hours. They also grossly inflate shipping charges.

No wonder they're sitting on a bunch of stuff.

If only someone wrote a song about their relationship with New West.

Oh wait...

If New West charged reasonable shipping they'd sell so much more than they sell, even without the basement pricing. I think no fewer than three times I've gone in there, built a cart, then left it when I saw S&H.

I didn’t realize New West runs ACL. So I guess they’ve got a side income. But that Ben Lee record was supposedly limited from RSD 8! years ago. So them pricing it at $5 made sense, but bumping back up to $8.10 made no sense.

Don't think I've seen this posted yet.

Jason Isbell - Southeastern 10-Year Anniversary Box Set
~$65 on Amazon

Buy 'em all up so I'm not tempted.

So I sat on the Isbell box set last month and watched the price jump back up to $80 for 5 weeks. It fell to $59 Monday, and I finally ordered. Today, I got a camelcamelcamel notification that it's now $55 on Amazon. Could go lower, but I believe this is as cheap as this set has been so far.

This is one of my favorite TPs from the last year. Definitely worth grabbing at that price.

Art Blakey - Caravan OJC - $29.55

This is a fantastic album and the OJC sounds great

 

[avecigrec]

I was expecting a $10-$15 shipping, so was pleasantly surprised at $12 shipped.

Not quite so cheap to the Canadas, but still a mighty fine deal. And they're sending it out already too, which is a nice turnaround!

As bad as I despise New West I wish they would repress the DBT Greatest Hits and box set of Decoration Day like they did with The Dirty South. That is about the only thing I would buy from them anymore though. Their roster is fine but I don't generally order from their webstore.

I think they own the Slobberbone / Drams recordings too. I'd like to see some of those get pressed / repressed beyond the greatest hits.

The Greatest Hits album is the only one I don't have and I would pick up a repress in a second (just not direct from the label) a deluxe Decoration Day would also be super cool. There are a few ACL releases I'd love to see pressed on wax, but again I would just buy them from elsewhere.
