I was actually coming to post this voucher deal. BT is quick on the draw!
Used my voucher plus the refunds from my $1.99 purchases to get the new Killer Mike. It's getting ridiculous reviews and was exactly the amount I had to use, so I figured I should grab it.
Regarding Hallmark that is not a bad thing in itself - I just think a lot of their reissues aren't a great deal. That Hank Williams comp is a good deal and a good collection - I have a CD with that cover from years ago, probably the "original", and I'd say git it!
Interesting, I have the CD with the album cover from the Google sale page with a Universal Motown label, but it looks like all the same songs.
The Ella Fitzgerald Best of the Songbooks albums is a good one too, if you're not going to buy the best of box or the whole series.
For $2.99 today you can get Alabama Shakes. If you don't know them, check them out on yourtube or somewhere. The lead singer has an amazing soulful voice.
Oh well, missed that one. Can't get 'em all. Anyone else notice that the last couple daily deals have dropped down to $2.99 again? Maybe they finally realized that $6 mp3 albums are not really a deal. But beware, the one today has too much music...
Holy crap. 111 original rock hits for $2.99? Ummm...that IS too much music! I bought it but I'm sure I'll be disappointed because I am a rock 'n roll fan.
Oh what a burden to have to plow through so many samples to see if they're originals - actually so far I think most are. The Carl Perkins songs are not - they're from one of his 70's or 80's albums I'd say - I think there was some licensing issue prompted him to re-record those.
These live recordings by Bell X1 are available now from Itunes, but Amazon says they will have the album on 7/20. I hope they'll have a great price on it, as the tracks available for streaming now on that Bell X1 page are very nice. Hard to know what emu will do.
Thanks. And wow. Only just spent the $3 one. And the $10 from emusic before that. Got 3 albums with those. Then there were the 5 albums for .99 each, not all listened to yet. The extent to which providers of music are willing to pay me to buy their products is gratifying but at times bordering on bemusing. Maybe they have found that most folk who get a $2 credit buy a $8 album with it. If that's so, then long may they do so.
This week's theme for the $2.99 albums is Country, though it's mostly shallow Nashville Sound. Among them I would only recommend Don William's comeback, which I would describe as a sensitive and thoughtful stroll through '70s Country Music.
However, there are a number of $2.99 albums under Alternative and Rock that aren't too shabby: Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, Wild Flag, M83, Explosions in the Sky, Low, Yeasayer, Dirty Projectors, etc.
It probably goes without saying, but...Thank you all for sharing! This has been quite a few good days on Amzn. The two discount codes made already inexpensive albums (Alabama SHakes and Aesop Rock) absolute no-brainers to get. And that WIllie Nelson box - $2.99? - are you kidding me? And special thanks to Plong for vetting a lot of free samplers on the "free" thread. Ultimately I think I spent about $5 total for a ton of new stuff.
@Rudie, Amazon has worn me out lately. I am listening tot he Mahler "BIg Box" which I suppose ought to have been 99 cents, but was free thanks to their promo. Tons of music for very little cash.
