If it was a misprice, "The System Has Failed" would be an apt title.

You're probably right it's not a misprice. However when I first ran acrossed it Amazon had it listed rather strangely. There was only one listing in the MP3 section, and that was the $8.99 album. The only way to find the $2.99 MP3 listing was on the CD page for the album. I noticed they now have both listings in the MP3 section.


Not too bad a price for some Fleetwood Mac.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac $4.99

That's a great album, but note that "Sara" is the edited version (due to time constraints on a CD). They don't seem to have the full version of that song.

I'm not sure if this is a special deal or the regular price, but Amazon has a new Cure album for $3.61. It's listed as an EP, but it's 37 minutes long.

The album on sale is actually "Yankee Foxtrot Hotel" (your link points correctly).

Anyhoo... thanks to you for starting this thread -- you've introduced me to some new stuff, finally gotten me off the fence on some I was considering, and sometimes reminded me of things I'd forgotten. This is a near-daily stop for me now.

You're doing the impossible: making my iPod happy without making my wallet sad.

All the best,

Not quite a DOTD, but arguably better ...

As noted on FatWallet, Amazon.com is running a $10 off Sony BMG titles promotion in their MP3 store. Since most of their single-disc albums run $9.95 on the MP3 store, you can basically get a free album out of the deal. Qualifying albums will have a "Special Offers Available" link below the price on the album details page; click it to get a promotional code, which you'll need to redeem before downloading the album (see the "Redeem..." link below the "Buy MP3 album..." button).

I can confirm that it works -- I grabbed The Clash's From Here To Eternity Live, and the receipt showed a total price of $0.00.

Thanks for the heads up. Worked with no problem for me also.

Oops. I just assumed it was the most recent Wilco album. My bad.

Just got Peter Bjorn and John Writer's Block.

Here are some artists I was debating prior to that purchase:

Bruce Springsteen
Bob Dylan
Pink Floyd
Cindy Lauper
Gloria Estefan
Sarah McLachlan


and most Broadway music recordings are released by SONY BMG for those looking.

OP - you might consider posting this info in the hot deals forum as not everyone checks the Amazon DOTD and this is definitely a hot deal.

Is the free Sony BMG deal over with already? Was it only for Saturday? I've checked a couple albums with no luck.

**Forget it. I just went and looked at fatwallet. Sorry.
