Vinyl - Bob Marley - The complete Island recordings, bargain

[chris watton]

I have had this box set of 11 albums in my Wish List for a while, where it stayed at over £150, but last night, it dropped to below £100, so I just had to order it!

A real bargain for what you get if anyone else is interested...

Currently at £178. In case anyone reading this doesn't know, item prices change many many times throughout the day, and (I think) also vary on whether you've cleared out their cookies or not.

Cripes, so it is! I was lucky then, when I just happened to click on it last night! I got it for £99!

£120 on Ebay.

So £99 from Amazon was a great bit of buying.

Well, it was delivered today, and what a quality box set. I think I got a bargain!

There's even a download code in with the box set, so I can download all of the albums in MP3 format, which I have just done.

£142 on Amazon today, so you did get a bargain.

I quite fancy this set, if it drops below the £100 again, but I've already got 6 of the albums. I realise these are on thicker vinyl and remastered + the MP3 download code and the fancy box but is it worth it for me?

Not sure.

The vinyl is quite weighty, which is good.

Even the standard disc sleeves are of good quality - they even include the original printed sleeves (with track lyrics) on a lot of the albums (but all discs are in the double layered paper sleeves). The live album has quite a large poster inside.

If I get time, I'll take some pictures.

That does look very nice. The wife would love it. She was the original fan of Marley, and she came with all the LPs when I kindly agreed to take her in 30 odd years ago. As she played them all the time I got quite into it.

I too had most of the albums when I was younger - but at the time, I more into heavier stuff (thinking Marley was too 'mainstream')!, Scientist and King Tubby dub albums, along with Eek A Mouse and Yellowman, and Gregory Isaacs for the mellower stuff.

Bargain every one superb.

Survival is my favourite.
