Question Pink Floyd - where to buy their CD's?

Hi guys,
I want to buy most of the Pink Floyd albums, and was wondering what is the best and cheapeast place to buy them from - any ideas?
Was hoping Amazon would be the cheapest, but unfortunately it is proving to be otherwise, and in some cases it is grossly overpriced. Quite ****** off really!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

A few weeks ago Amazon were doing Floyd albums for £6.97 (or something similar). That must have been a special offer because they are back up to around £12 ish .

Play.com is almost as bad...

hmmmm...... not much help I'm afraid
There's bound to be some decent offers in the sales - see what Amazon do in Jan.

CD-WOW ? not used them but a few albums for £6.99

You could try a search on www.find-cd.co.uk

just had a quick look, and Pulse can be had for £8.99 from dvd.co.uk so there are some savings to be found.

Was hoping to keep the prices all under £7, guess I might have to wait for the sales in the next few weeks..

If you have a local Fopp store then have a look in there. Extremely well priced for everything - most of the Pink Floyd records were under £7 last summer. I picked up DSOTM SACD for just under £8.

Bear in mind that they're currently in the process of remastering Wish You Were Here. Or at least that was the case last time I heard and is why I'm holding off purchasing.

Well, blahdvd have the 30th Anniversary Hybrid SACD of DSOTM for a staggeringly-good £6.99 delivered and 'In Stock':

http://www.blahdvd.com/blah/Music_Pr...=CD-5821362-73

101cd have alot of the albums for £6.99 so they may be worth checking out (although I find they can be quite slow - so it's a comprimise of price vs speed). Infact 'Wish You Were Here' is only £4.99!:

Hope this helps a bit

Also remember that you can knock off an extra squid with a voucher or link... so those at £6.99 become £5.99 which gives you a few more bucks to play with for the more expensive ones
