Almost as silly as the prices: £8.99 for the single album £13.00 for the 2 disc edition £85.97 for the full shabang! What the hell is that all about?!
Insane those prices for me i'll wait it out for a couple of months and buy when the price settles to a more reasonable amount

I'll avoid shabanging (not always wise to shabang at my age) and settle for the 13 quid pack. The bloody money charged for some of this stuff is scandalous! For 80-odd quid I expect the thing to take me to a hotel room, have it's wicked way with me, make me something to eat afterwards and then drive me home! I mean I love 'im and his music but I'm not shelling out gazillions for a box and a book. Don't they know there's a bleedin' recession?!
Exactly, at least get used and abused! I will probably plump for the full shabang but only if it drops 20 quid or more. It doesn't make sense tho. If they are charging £8.99 for one album. Times that by 3 as there is Ram Mono and Thrillington (£26.97). They are charging £13.00 for the 2 disc edition which means that the 2 disc is worth £4.01. For arguments sake the dvd is worth £8.99 Total from that is £39.97. So they are basically charging £46 for a book (and the other little things you get!)

"Super Deluxe Edition" Really looking forward to this one!!!
I was trying to figure out what some of that stuff was...A little book of sheep? (It's what it said on the cover) and those letters

None of the deluxe editions have come down in price all that much. They're all still about $7o, which is more than I paid for any of them when they were first released. The best deals seem to be offered in the presales. So I'm still hopeful that the best prices will be offered on Ram in the coming weeks, as soon as Topspin/MPL posts the package deals on Paul's site. And then Amazon will drop its prices. I'm going wherever it's cheapest. But I'm definitely buying it, partly because it's my favorite Paul album and I want to support it (and the reissues). The Ram set is more elaborate than any of the others so I'd expect it to cost more. But to me, $75-$80 is as much as it should cost.

Do we get shares in MPL and a free holiday with Paul and Nancy if we shell out for the Sooper-Dooper, all-singing-all dancing, diamond encrusted box set?
-
I wouldn't mind spending $80 but we're being asked to pay £80. That's much much more. I do feel like this is a ruse to charge more but I really do want the book...
-
Scandalous prices and still nothing on the website and no promotion anywhere...

I wish they sold the books separately.

Exactly!! $80 I would say is acceptable for the deluxe edition but not £86!!
-
I wish I could see the books before they sold them. well, i guess this is partly some of our faults. we all kept saying how Ram was the one we couldn't wait for. SOMEBODY listened...and charged us more
-
With only 17 days to its release.Why hav`nt PMc.com released any info on prices on there site.Thought they would have been promoting it by now.Come on all involved and pull your finger out.

Hi Kathryn, my guess is as follows...the first book we see (112 pages) is the equivalent of the three previously released archive books in the collection (Band on the Run, McCartney and McCartney II). The second book we see (32 pages) is the RAM photo flip book/scrapbook. The yellow envelope labeled Photograph Paper contains the five 8 x 10 photo prints. The little red book entitled A Small Book of Sheep is the mini photographic book of outtakes from the original album cover photo shoot. We then see the five discs: CD 1 - Remastered Album CD 2 - Bonus Audio CD 3 - Remastered Mono Album CD 4 - Thrillington Remastered Album DVD - Bonus Film Concluding the preview with the 8 full size facsimile sheets of Paul's original handwritten lyric sheets and notes.

£65.49 for the deluxe edition in the UK. That's better than the £85 Amazon UK is asking. But, I typed too soon. That figure in pounds translates to $1o3 (!!!) for the deluxe edition and digital album. Dang. That's more than Amazon. I'm sticking with the $90 pre-order on Amazon, I guess (which includes free shipping for me as I'm an Amazon Prime member). Shoot, I was hoping the price would drop to $75 or $80.

With the deluxe limited edition that could prove quite risky,especially if demand outstrips supply.

...+ CUSTOMS TAXES, which in Brazil is 60% on top of the final amount (item price + postage cost)!

So when do we find out which pioneer member won the whole set?
-
I'm in shock at the prices! I'm gonna have to dig deep!

£65 for the deluxe edition is what I was expecting. Pretty good considering the prices of the other deluxe versions and what your getting. I don't understand why its so much more for a plain t-shirt and lithograph!
