Bob Dylan albums are $5.99 and up today. Going for the basement tapes myself. Also includes $1 Mp3 credit.
Also, if you do facebook, you can get $5 off a $35 purchase. Luckly you can only share this with yourself if you have your facebook account set appropriately.
I bought the big Christmas box last year, not something that I listen to more that the week of Christmas. I think I put it on random in the background for the festivities. Forgot I owned it until Amazon reminded me.
The Big Christmas Box is the perfect album for Amazon Cloud Player via Roku onto the TV - it's on in the living room, you don't really need it blasting through the stereo, it's not taking up space in my computer, I don't have to retrieve it from the hard drive, and it's right there the couple of weeks a year you need it - far out.
BDB, that applies x1000 to any streaming service** you prefer (that Box is on Rdio, along with umpteen hundred other xmas albums if you like). I only mention this because I'm constantly surprised when I see statements that imply not everyone here keeps a cheap streaming service on hand. Strikes me as analogous to not having a microwave or toaster oven to facilitate quick (re)heating in the kitchen (or maybe a dishwasher).
**unless that's not true, that the Roku would offer such access? Is there something special about the ACP?
@kargatron, I'll have to take a look at the Roku channel store - ACP is one they carry, and we use Amazon Prime for video also, but I'm not sure what else they have available. I have never used a streaming service because I just don't spend enough time actually at the computer - I listen mostly to stereo (in other room) or iPod dock, and I can't stream at work. I like the microwave analogy - you never know how useful it can be until you have one.
Cross-posted, just making sure no one misses this, seems like a great deal to me:
From the Wire archival releases list: African Songbird by Sathima Bea Benjamin & Dollar Brand
"Beautiful deep vocal jazz side feat Dollar Brand lavishly and lovingly reissued by the sainted Matsuli label." - Kristina Records
"One of the coolest albums ever from vocalist Sathima Bea Benjamin" - Dusty Groove
Those are the rare alternative cover mp3's. Collectors buy them and keep them in Mylar bags with backing boards, never actually listening to them so their re-sale value stays high. Might even be signed by the original artists.
Seems to be a lot of $5 albums going on here - I don't get too excited for $5 albums but maybe there's something you like.
Lots of the usual suspects. Might pick up this year's Tedeschi-Trucks release. Of course only if I don't buy She and Him 3 first.
