I think Tasha is right - it was never the Blu-Ray set that was reduced, 'just' the CD-set (which is back up to £39.99 now).  Isn't that correct?

 thats what I think yes!

It is a 4 CD and 1 Blu-Ray set in a book format. Arrived today more than a week before expected, so very pleased.

Result!  Weird that they have two identical products with two very different pricings, then....

Mine has also arrived today ( expected date was 31st December), and I can confirm it is the 4cd and 1 Blu Ray set in book form.
Very happy customer here!

We have a guy who sells records and CDs at the market in Okehampton every Saturday, and our Tuesday market here in Hatherleigh. After seeing him at the Lindisfarne gig recently I got chatting to him about music and after mentioning that I was going to see Steeleye last week, he pulled out a bunch of Steeleye albums (had them all) and Maddy Prior ones, so I have picked up Year, 3 For Joy and Hooked On Glory (the two Maddy Prior Band albums from 1982/3) from him over the last couple of weeks (and Yes' 90125 too) - all for a tenner.

A bargain? Well, some might think so at least. Bob Dylan's The Complete Budokan 1978 is currently on Amazon download for £12.99 - compared to £132.59 for the physical release.  I had the original many years ago (I think I have a photo from a student room with the poster from that album on the wall in the background) but haven't heard it for years. On reading some reviews I will probably pass on this, but some people may feel that for 58 tracks, they'd like to take a pop.

When I was out with my pocket money as a callow teen it was a choice between this and Eric Clapton’s Just One Night (also a double album recorded live at The Budokan). I went with the Clapton, which I still have and play to this day. The Dylan album, on the other hand, according to Wikipedia “Jimmy Guterman named it one of the worst albums ever released in the history of rock.”

Rather unfair. I realise now that it was probably the start of Dylan trying out radical reinterpretations of songs. Some work, some don’t and on occasion they sound a bit easy listening. I doubt if it would be the first live album of choice for most. For me, it has always been a fond souvenir of seeing him ar Blackbushe.
