Bizarre. Let's hope it gets to 80 before it shoots back up

“Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £120.27 to £105.21” Five whole days since the last decrease… were you missing the thread?! Unfortunately the change isn’t remarkable: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £105.21 to £104.26” The other formats have also reduced in price over the last few days… nowt remarkable there either.

Easing off the gas now, guys. Having accumulated various Amazon deals and having a fair few gift vouchers in the bank I pulled the trigger. Got the set for around £24 with free shipping, so am happy (though I could have been happier!).
Still got to bide my time before opening it… whatever will Steph say?!?!
Feel free to post price changes in my absence!

Feel free to post price changes in my absence! Get a price sticker from something much cheaper, put it on the front and say, "Hey, Steph, look what I got down the market today!" Take her out to dinner then lock yourself in your room for three days!

Congratulations John! You beat me to the punch. I was listening to Sail On Sailor last weekend and thought - I bet this sounds great on vinyl. Then I decided I needed a guitar practice amp with tubes and there went my discretionary income for the month! It’s hard for me to pull the trigger, when it’s readily available to listen to on Apple Music.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the physical product (contents of liner notes etc) when you get a chance to post about it. £24 after vouchers etc is a STEAL! 🙏

Of course, now the set’s arrived, we’re trading in the car with the decent sound system for a van with Bluetooth. The Gods seem not to want me to hear this set at the mo’!

Below £100 again… if it keeps dropping I might have to buy another copy!

Well, after John purchasing the set (nice price John! 👍)and being resigned to the price updates becoming less frequent, I had a look 2 days ago. The Sail on Sailor 6xCD set was £97 on Amazon. Having waited patiently for it to fall to around £70, but to no avail, I caved in and purchased it! This is about the lowest it's been.
I bought the Super Deluxe LP set at the time of release. If only the CD box had decreased as much as that one has. Still glad to finally have it though.

I still haven't bought it. Had the chance and considered it a little while ago when it was about £70-75 on Amazon Germany, but I hate to admit that I've lost interest in the set.
Will buy it eventually, with the emphasis on eventually, but it's dropped way down my wishlist, which is unusual, as I pre-ordered all the other recent boxsets.

The 2cd Sail on Sailor set is currently £15.46 on Amazon UK, the lowest it’s been on that site since release and a decent buy, to my mind.
For comparison’s sake, the 2cd Feel Flows set is £12.99, though that’s been as low as £6.49, which is bewilderingly low..
While I’m at it, the 2cd Sunshine Tomorrow set is £9.19, which to my mind is great value (if you haven’t already bought this superb set), though that’s also been as low as £6.99.

In the car, I really am enjoying the download with all the obscure tracks. It was the best way for me to go; the portability and not dealing with CDs works for me. Some of the tracks are kind of funny. They must have had a blast from time to time, just goofing around and enjoying the music for themselves and those in-studio recording it.

After nearly a week of the 6-CD set being £98.21, today it has shot back up again to £128.41 - absolute fucking shambles.

2CD: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £17.49 to £15.74”
Not quite its lowest, but it keeps popping back up to silliness so this is not a bad price considering.

There are a number of ways to listen to the box set other than purchasing the CD's or vinyl. You can stream it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music (which has a free option with commercials) or Amazon Music. Or you can progressively download the set at your leisure using with iTunes or Qobuz (if you want it in lossless quality). The whole thing is definitely worth listening to.

I have youtube (the regular freebie) on my phone as well as the downloaded (and computer ported) tracks and it is the go-to when I get in the car. I do love the Carnegie tracks a lot. 🎶

Just seen the announcement of a new boxed set called Air Born – The MCA & Decca Years, featuring cult band Camel's Decca output between 1973 and 1984: 27 CDs and 5 Blu-rays, for a mere £157 (from Townsend Music) – that's £4.91 per disc. And that's before any price drops (to be fair it's currently £205 pre-order on Amazon UK, or £6.40 per disc).
Amazon UK's current price for Sail on Sailor? £107.22, or £17.87 per disc.
Rational explanations welcome.

I’d pay that much for 27 discs of outtakes from The Snow Goose ! Love that album…
