Ian Dewhirst Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Hi All, Came into work today and they've launched a box set initiative with some excellent titles at some unbelievable prices, so I thought I'd give people the nod. There's lots of titles there so pretty much something for everyone, but these in particular stuck out:- Philadelphia International 40th Anniversary 10 x CD Box Set £19.99 Tabu Records 6 x CD/1 x DVD Box Set £29.99 Traxbox: Trax Records 16 x CD Box Set: First 75 12” Singles A&Bs £29.99 Philly Re-Grooved Vols 1,2 & 3: Special 8 x 12" Vinyl Edition £34.99 Limited stocks on all the above, so the early bird catches the worm etc, etc....

Ian Dewhirst Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 THANKS FOR THAT IAN WANTED THE PHILLY 40TH THANKS FOR THE NOD KEV You're welcome Kev. That price will never be bettered believe me. Works out @ £2 a CD which is ridiculous.... Ian D 1
Soulfinger Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Wow! Thanks for the heads up Ian! Just ordered the Philly 40th. How could you not at that price? Cheers John 1
Jamesh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks Ian Just ordered the philly 40, popular choice James 1
Bobby Dazzler Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Just ordered Philly 40th as well! Thanks Ian. 1
Keamus Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Philly 40th ordered. What a bargain! thanks for the tip! 1
Ian Dewhirst Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Personally I think they're crazy 'cos that Philadelphia International 40th Anniversary Box Set should be £50 minimum. I think it's 'cos we're running down the stock as PIR is now controlled by Sony and we're probably into what they call the 'sell-off' period. So, yep. The bargain of the century without a doubt. It's by far the most successful of all the Harmless Box Sets with incredible sales over the last 3 years. Anyone getting this for £20 can't lose! Happy New Year Soul Sourcers! And a special Happy New Year to Mike and the Moderators (sounds like a record on UK Oriole), without whom such instant bargains would be much more difficult to find! Soul Source is the most valuable resource on the internet for stuff like this, so credit where credit is due! Ian D 3
martynthejazz Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Cheers Ian...just ordered the beat vinyl, the philly 10 cd box set and the tom remix 12s.....all done.....lets just hope they all turn up..thanks in advance mate.

Dynamite choices. Also the PIR Box Set additionally has Soul Source member Philly Dave's definitive PIR discography within the booklet, so when you chuck that in as well it's pretty irresistible. Track-listing here:- https://www.discogs.com/Various-Philadelphia-International-Records-The-40th-Anniversary-Box-Set/release/3703790 Someone's dropped a bollock. Get in there! Ian D 2

The Yank Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Question for you- I was thinking of getting the Philly Int'l set. When I clicked on the link , I went to a shipping info page which listed all European countries and it said- not available in other countries. Then I clicked on the shipping info button and it went to another page that said shipping is avaliable in the U.S.. I'm confused .........
Iancsloft Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for that Ian 40th ordered All the Best for 2015 mate Ian & Jane x

If you want one at this price, I'll order one and ship it personally for whatever it costs. How does that sound? Ian D Edited December 30, 2014 by Ian Dewhirst 2

Ric-tic Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I ordered a couple of sets on sunday and paid by paypal, today i had a dispatched e.mail but to my horror noticed they were sent to my old address which i moved from seven months ago changing my paypal address at the same time, how can that happen? as i have used paypal scores of times since then with no problems, i will never get them now, tried to e.mail Deamon but all automated Edited December 30, 2014 by ric-tic

I also had a problem when I tried to pay with paypal. When the Demon page linked through, the amount to be paid went to £15.99 instead of twenty three whatever. I tried twice but gave up and paid by Mastercard instead. Weird

Nightmare. I've been caught up in that myself. Send an e-mail to Lidia.Pinney@demonmusicgroup.co.uk and Lidia will try and sort it out. Automation's a bitch innit? Ian D

These things happen in the background so I'm not always aware of what's going on elsewhere in the office. If Ben hadn't have mentioned that the PIR Box Set was selling loads I wouldn't have even registered that there was a promotion going on. When he mentioned the price I fainted in disbelief. Maybe the site is crashing due to demand? Ian D 1

Weird I had the same but seems Paypal picks up price before VAT as the actual amount on the Paypal email confirmation which follows is the higher (correct) amount. Thanks for starting this thread Ian...the Philly 40th box set is a genuine bargain and a great end to the year! Happy New Year all, Steve Edited December 30, 2014 by 71 Steve 2

Thanks for starting this thread Ian...the Philly 40th box set is a genuine bargain and a great end to the year! Happy New Year all, Steve I'm learning all the time lol. And yep. The Philly 40 Box Set @ £19.99 will never be bettered in the history of bargains. It's probably a mistake. So keep pumping those orders through 'cos if it's electronic they can't argue! Ian D
Stateside Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Very Strange.....When I go to pay with paypal it shows up as being £15.99 Kev Just read the other comments about before vat. Thanks Edited December 31, 2014 by stateside

SHEFFSOUL Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Weird. Maybe the sites being overwhelmed or something. I'll troubleshoot when I get back in on Tuesday OK? Ian D any official news from Demon?.. awaiting new stock?
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 any official news from Demon?.. awaiting new stock? Unfortunately I'm laid up at home with a chest infection so I can't stomp around the office and bash heads. I'll drop an e-mail to the key guys and see if all is OK. The Philly Box Set in particular has been a huge seller but should still be in stock. Gimme 24 hours and I'll report back.... Ian D

Soulfinger Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I've been listening to the Philly Box for the last three days. Bloody marvelous! I'm very impressed with the judgement shown on the choice of original single mix or album mix. Singles stuck to pretty faithfully except for the ones you'd want the long version on. 1
