To celebrate BF's 67th birthday today, popmarket.com in the USA has, as it's daily deal (it closes at 4.59 p.m. tomorrow, UK time) a bundle of the first four Roxy LPs.

Each re-pressing has a large poster of the album cover included. No extra tracks, other than the inclusion of VP in the debut album (as was generally the case in North America).

Offer price of of $54.99 is shown as £35.74 in Popmarket's site; shipping is free, but European customers would have to expect to pay VAT (the import limit's only £15) and the Royal Mail's £8 release fee on receipt.

I've shopped with Popmarket before and they're quite good, but very proper; don't waste your time asking for lower Customs valuations or for packages to be marked as gifts!

Just had a look for vinyl reviews on amazon.co.uk, but they've rather unhelpfully tacked CD reviews on to the few vinyl ones.

If these pressings are the ones shown by Amazon as 2008 and 2009 releases, then the Popmarket price is quite good (even if the Customs & Post Office charges take it up to around £50). However, the packaging seems to score rather better than the sound with the few Amazon reviewers.

The sort of package that would be nice to receive as a gift, but I think I'll have to resist the urge to buy it; many of us probably still have the Island LPs, so up to fifty quid is a bit expensive just to get the four nice posters!
