MyPlayDirect don't seem to have been too impressed with my email offering them £7 tops for both vinyls.

lol. Did you actually get a response?! Or are you interpreting their silence as admonishment (probably accurately)?

The store is not a flea market or able to provide a discount.

I did, they told me which songs were on which release (er yes) and re-assured me that I would hear SMTW on either of them (er yes), then said they couldn't change the price. I've written back.

I don't care, I wasn't expecting them to say yes. But I want them to know that it is extortionate and to waste their time. The store should provide a discount for those buying both vinyls, not my problem they're silly.

Well good to luck to you I say Franny, I do find it very funny (both your offer and their response(!)), but in all seriousness you have made a completely fair offer.

Ha ha, cheers. We shall see. I see Nasal Scarecrow is buying them, so, as I live with the sod, I do have the convenience of still having access to them, while arguing the toss and having principles

I'm gonna buy em both anyway but it is a bit much. Used to be able to get four or five singles for the price of the album, but eh they're a dying breed. Disappointed to be paying a tenner for two songs but I'm gonna anyway.

EDIT: Forgot I had that discount for filling out a myplay customer service survey for something I bought from Amazon... Got the deluxe signed and two vinyls pre-ordered for £21.57, doesn't seem too bad now.

I will be sticking to my "buy one copy of the album, 'obtain' the rest" policy.

Don't think I'll be buying the single unless it's on Amazon. I've bought several copies of singles in the past, and given the band my hard earned money through albums/gigs and merch. So I think I deserve a freebie now and again

Fair enough. I don't actually own any CD's in general any more.
Vinyl and MP3 for me.
