Best ‘Gdańsk’ prices
With many sites, and shops, now starting to take pre-orders for the assorted ‘Live in Gdańsk’ sets, which will be available on 22 September across Europe and 23 September across North America (probably later everywhere else, as usual, details to follow whenever they materialise), I thought it would be helpful to provide an easy price comparison for those that might appreciate such a thing.
If you know of a reputable site, or store, anywhere in the world, do let us know how much they’re charging for ‘Live in Gdańsk’. The more links, the better.
Any links are provided for your convenience, by the way. The Blog doesn’t do commission.
Admittedly, this is running a wee bit early, as details are still trickling out, but I’m sure you’ll agree: it’s always better to be early than late.
Don’t forget, you can easily bookmark this page for later reference. Simply click the button beneath Comments.
If you need reminding of what you get with each of the five versions, please click here for the basics in table form, or here for more detail than you can wave a big stick at.
Two more to consider if you’re in Canada and after the five-disc set, courtesy of Howard Bayliss: archambault.ca ($72.99) and chapters.indigo.ca ($73.07).

2CD- $18.99
2CD/1DVD- $33.22
2CD/2DVD- $47.47
5LP- $172.89 (seems quite excessive… I wouldn’t be surprised if this changes)
No indication of the free Wot’s… CD on the site yet. Postage runs from $4.75- $6.80 in the US; $6.75 Int’l.
[Many thanks for that. I haven't received word from them to confirm that they'll definitely have/include the bonus 'Wot's...' CD, so please do check before you order. - FEd]
Just a comment for other Norwegians out there.
Platekompaniet ships every package with the 5-disc at 519 NOK ($90) and vinyl at 669 NOK ($116). Also, CDon.com ships the 5-disc from Norway at 529 NOK.
Remember, if you buy from outside Norway, you have to pay a toll. Stupid, expensive country…

And whilst JB HiFi don’t have the deluxe set in their online store, I asked and was able to order a copy instore (they’d better have ordered it anyway, their ordering process is a bit casual, but has always worked for me in the past: Blade Runner limited edition, Sigur Ros ‘Heima’ limited edition etc).
I wonder how the 5 LP edition comes so much cheaper on amazon.fr?
I’ve bought mine 43.77€ and it’s 85GPB in UK (107€) :-O
By the way, excuse my English. ^^

Hello,
How does one get the 5 CD version AND the WOT’S… UH THE DEAL promo in America?
Thanks.
[You get the five-disc set from Best Buy and the 'Wot's...' CD from an independent store when you buy any CD version (vinyl is not included in this offer). - FEd]
I was off for some days and I just wanted to announce a new price from amazon.de for the 5-disc-set, which is now 55,97€ – shipping included.
But what I saw entering the blog blew the happiness about Amazon’s last offer away in a second.
A sad day, that Monday and a big loss for the music.

For US buyers: Tower.com has the cheapest 4 disc edition that I could find at $32.86.
Amazon has it at $33.99.
[I'd also like to add that the price of the vinyl box set - at SoundStage Direct - has been slashed from $139.99 to $99.99. Domestic shipping is free. - FEd]
Waterloo Records, Austin, Texas:
Two-disc set: $17.97 (includes exclusive ‘Wot’s… CD)
Three-disc set: $31.47 (includes exclusive ‘Wot’s… CD)
Four-disc set: $44.97 (includes exclusive ‘Wot’s… CD)
They promise to let you know before your order is processed if they run out of ‘Wot’s…’ CDs.
Please note that they have a pricing structure that’s different online from what’s in their store (a general 10% discount from list price).
So, if you were planning on paying them a visit in Austin, Texas, please note that the prices in-store will be different: the prices shown here are their online prices.
Best Buy has the 5-disc set listed at $49.99 now.
How bittersweet this release will be, but life has to go on.
Thanks for your efforts in giving us a forum to pay our respects, Fed.
I found a store in Israel which sells the DVD: http://www.musicaneto.com.
http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?w=david%20gilmour%20Gdansk&” rel=”nofollow”>deepdiscount.com is a very good site to buy from, with free shipping.
Small spelling thing:
It should be Gdańsk not Gdánsk (though it looks quite similar).
[Where do you see Gdánsk? - FEd]
Can I buy the Gdansk-CD at iTunes?
[Yes. Click your name above to read more. - FEd]

You are doing a FANTASTIC JOB, keeping on top of things! Special commendations to You & Yours!
105.9, The Rock, Nashville, TN. has the Radio special available online now.
[Thanks, Keith. Click the link above for that. - FEd]
I got an email from amazon.de today that the five disc box is no longer available, and will not become available any more. Sold out. So it appears as if I won’t get the box, even after I have pre-ordered it weeks ago.
I have to say that I am not really very happy about that… :-(
[Understandably so. - FEd]

Hi all.
Got my 3 disc GDANSK for £14:99 at HMV. Not a bad price for 3 discs.
[It's the Merseyside derby this weekend, Chris... - FEd]
Hey FEd! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend, from all the hubbub, you definitely needed a break; (again, great job, keeping on top of things!)
Just a note about B B prices, they have reverted back to MSRP; the deluxe box @ $69.99 USD, 4 set/$46.99, 3 set/$32.99, 2 set/$14.99. The deluxe box is soldout online, but the others are still available w/free shipping!
All stores have re-stocked everything in racks so, that’s…Uh The Deal!!
Oh and BTW, last Wednesday Fender sent the usual Newsletter; (have been a subscriber for years) with the Black Strat micro/update; excellent content, especially timeline/wallpaper, gonna go put my hands on one today at Naperville Music.
Have a great Monday!!
Keith
[Thanks, Keith, the same to you. - FEd]
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I think that the bonus CD on the 5-disc version contains the tracks that can be downloaded via the webpass – therefore, is there a benefit to using the webpass for those that have the 5-disc set?
The Gdansk table page says “YES” for the 5-disc set having both the hard copy & the downloadable form.
Not complaining, mind you – it’s great that so much has been made available in so many forms. Thanks to all (Dave, FEd, and all who toil unnamed).
[I think I'm the only one who really toils unnamed, but thanks for the thanks. There's no benefit to using the web pass if you already have the 12 live songs on CD (apart from being able to download 'Wot's... Uh The Deal', of course). You never know, something extra could be made available electronically in future. - FEd]
G’day Guys/Gals,
I got the 5 disc version today from Sunflower Music on the Gold Coast for $99.95 (Aus), I’m happy.
Still looking for the vinyl version.
Thanks again,

Amazon France 5 LP boxed set shipped to USA for $64.26 total.
Received mine on 10/07/2008.
Very nice package indeed.
can’t get the 5 disc. anywhere sold out here in dublin. tried amazon, no luck there either.
can anyone help?
[Sorry, John. It's been fun and games trying to get the deluxe set anywhere, sadly. - FEd]
Hi there,
I have no idea where to post this, but I hope someone can redirect me to the right place.
I was on my way to buy the 4 Disc set of the Gdansk concert. I live in PAL land (South-Africa), so naturally I bought the set with the PAL print on it, and was from the Australian region. Before I pay, I ask the attendant to open the package and sure enough to my disgrace, both the DVD discs were NTSC….
I refused to pay, and left the store!
Why is this? Why is there a NTSC DVD in the PAL printed booklet/folder from the Gdansk concert?
Kindest regards
Neil
[I wish I could tell you without causing offence to those who packaged the sets, Neil. Thanks for letting me know, anyway. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and hope you are able to find a PAL disc. - FEd]
To John and anybody else who could be interested, the 5-disc deluxe set is available (not delivered until 27 October) on alapage.com (France) for 54.66€.
+ 10.80€ to deliver to the UK (‘colissimo’, delay=4 days) or + 18.00€, ‘chronopost’, delay=1 or 2 days)
Michèle
Hello, for your information I bought my Live in Gdansk pack today with 3 disc (2 CD plus 1 DVD) and the price in Brazil is R$ 69,90. It´s around 30,00 USD.
AC
[Thanks for reporting back, Antonio. I hope you enjoy it. - FEd]
Just to let you know: The 5-disc set is now (and at last!) available online on fnac.com (click my name), but it costs 75.61€ and I bought mine in September for about 54€ (at Furet du Nord). So, délai de près de 2 mois et près de 50% d’augmentation!) What a shame!
And don’t be mistaken, 55.99€ is only for ‘adhérents’ (=’members’?), it will cost you 30€ to become a member.
Michèle
[Good news. Sort of. - FEd]
The best price on the 4-disc version is £25.98 from amazon.co.uk.
My local HMV is selling it for £29.99.
[It's the same price at mine, but I ordered one on Friday from Amazon and it was £24.98. - FEd]
It’s now £25.38 at amazon.co.uk (click my name).
[Good thing I ordered mine when I did, then. More worryingly, if you scroll to the bottom and 'What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item?', it says 2% buy 'Mamma Mia!' on DVD. - FEd]
I had just received the 5-disc version, but I can’t get into the http://www.davidgilmour.com/bonus, every time I try I got a message “I have no permission to enter the server”. How can I get the bonus track.
Regards from Peru.
