Roxy Music - Avalon (SDE Blu-Ray #36, May 9th, 2025)

[GOS]

Did you order it already? Because the bundle is no longer available.

Supposedly you can order them separately and will get the better shipping charge, similar to if it were the "bundle"

Hmmm...that was not my impression when I spoke with them.

I am going to guess the mystery title is:
Paul Young
The Secret of Association
1985

Wrong answer !

Other than being released in 1985 and both having a featured saxophone, I think Paul was slightly off alluding that the mystery title was complimentary to Avalon. While I love both albums, it is unlikely I would have ever had INXS and Roxy on my rad mix tapes back in the day.

I guess Paul changed his mind. I'm still glad I ordered both.

Combined shipping, yes, but not the additional savings. I ordered the bundle for £64.99. If I now wanted to order both items in one go, I'd have to pay £66.99.

#37 INXS Listen Like Thieves

Heck yeah!!! So excited about this Does anyone know if it is possible to add additional titles to an existing order? Thanks

No, which is why the new title is two pounds more for me than it would have been yesterday. I'm still saving on shipping for two titles bundled (11 pounds vs 8 pounds each) but the bundle knocked an additional two pounds off.

No, they do not offer this. If the existing order is items that are still available, they will cancel it for you so you can place a new order.

Am I the only one who isn’t really excited about INXS and is probably going to cancel that part of my order?

No, I'm not excited about it. But I'm keeping my order.

No, I'm not excited about it. But I'm keeping my order.

You’re a bit of a completist I think, whereas I tend to pick and choose the ones I prefer and actually listen to them more often than hardly ever. Not got any problem with that at all and if money was no object I would probably buy all of them but I just can’t justify the cost. Hats off to Paul at SDE though, damn cool idea and to be able to get it done is frankly amazing .

I do seem to be, at least with the SDE series. And I don't want to poopoo this title at all. Many are loving it. And, I'll probably like it well enough. Go Paul!!

That's where I'm at. I wouldn't have even considered the INXS separately but I'm just OK with bundling.

I'm gonna cancel that part too. I like Kick, but only to the point where I can't imagine liking another album of a lower quality than that from them.

 

[JediJoker]

No, they do not offer this. If the existing order is items that are still available, they will cancel it for you so you can place a new order.

Flip that, though: make a new order first, then request cancellation of the previous order.

No, not just you! Hard pass for me.

I'd hoped that maybe the second item might have been Propaganda's Secret Wish, which seems much more sympathetic with Avalon and also goes for ridiculous prices on the resale market in its earlier incarnation.

You're probably not alone in not wanting the INXS Blu-Ray. While SDE's offer to bundle Roxy's Avalon with Listen Like Theives in order to save on shipping costs is a good idea, I prefer to know ahead of time exactly what I'm ordering (instead of going thru the trouble of canceling an order for an item I don't want).

I clearly made a mistake that I won't repeat again, lesson learned.
I purchase the bundle together with Bryan Ferry's Blu-ray. 12 pounds total shipping costs for the three. So far, so good.
As I had no interest at all on INXS, I made the error of asking for the cancellation straight away. This meant Retrospective order was kept and the bundle cancelled, so I ended up paying another 12 pounds when I reordered Avalon.
Of course SDE support could not keep a single shipment as Retrospective was sold out..
Anyway, someone needs to feed Royal Mail, I guess.

Yeah, when I asked for the cancellation of the bundle for it to be Avalon, I thought they'd change the order rather than having me order it again.
