BMG's Yourmusic.com

Wow--might just be worth it to sell the 8 or so used ones I own and just buy that.

 

For the recent Buddy Holly remasters

2 free for life how long have you been a member? I didn't know they did this.

 

Just got mine today, actually. Just fired up disc 1!

 

I have the same thing. It was a one-time deal in 1988, if I remember the year correctly. It's possible they did it other times, but I don't remember it. I was still a vinyl member back then, and if you paid the regular price that one time for the Selection of the Month, whatever it was in your music category (in my category, Debbie Gibson's Out of the Blue sticks out in my mind as the "Selection of the Month" that month), you'd get a 2-Free-For-Life coupon. Even when my club membership was converted to CDs, the 2-Free-For-Life offer stayed intact. Faithfully, once a year, I get a card. I have years worth of the postcards now (they have no visible expiration date); alas, there doesn't seem to be a way to redeem them online.

 

Wow, Dylan SACD box for about $100! I just ordered it.

Also getting the Jimmy Smith RETROSPECTIVE (4CD) Blue Note box. ($24)

 

If you join using the $4.99 link, those 4 CD BN sets are $19.96. Grant Green for me soon!

 

What $4.99 link?

 

The $4.99 link is on page two of this thread. The Dylan box is only $79 when using that!

 

Hi,

When I go to the $4.99 link, I am sent to yourmusic's website and the price is $5.99. Was this only a one day special?

Thanks

Thanks,

I got it!

 

I hope you know that there are 20 songs on the 1st CD and 4 songs on the 2nd CD.

 

??? Why

 

My FACES box set arrived today from BMG.

 

Of course I know that. It's still a steal at $4.99 shipped. And even though I have the 4CD RCA box and the 2CD RCA best-of, I'm still getting it A) because the sound is supposed to be markedly better (how could it be worse?) and B) for the bonus tracks on the second CD.

Kwad

 

I signed up originally at the $5.99 per disc pricing and couldn't coerce my existing account to get the $4.99 pricing no matter what I did.

So I went to the email customer service part of the website and wrote them as follows:

"A friend of mine gave me the following link to sign-up for
yourmusic.com:

http://a.chtah.com/a/hBBnRfiAT9DbEAT9NMMAEY28iSa/ym1

I notice that this link gives $4.99 per disc pricing rather than the
$5.99 per disc pricing that I have been paying.

Can you please switch my account to the lower pricing without my having
to quit and rejoin the club?"



Within 24 hours they wrote back:

"Thank you for contacting yourmusic.com.

We have received your inquiry regarding the current pricing on
yourmusic.com.

Your account has been converted to the $4.99, offer you requested.

Thanks for shopping at yourmusic.com."



Pretty good customer service. I'm impressed.

I didn't ask for them to give me retroactive credit (in spite of the fact that I've bought a ton of discs in the last month since I signed up). I figure that I made a purchasing decision weighing cost vs. benefit and bought accordingly. They've agreed to give me the lower pricing on future purchases and I'm quite satisfied.

Emery

 

Wow, Emery, that's fantastic!

I made another box set purchase yesterday, right on the heels of one I made the day before. I am no expecting the arrival of four(!) box sets and a double album. I feel like Stan's father in South Park in the Wallmart episode, "These prices... can't resist..."

 

How long did it take from the time you ordered it?

 

I just followed your lead and sent virtually an identical email to customer service. I'd be interested in knowing how many Hoffmanites yourmusic.com has received emails from along these lines...

 

I sent them an email about their cataogue, knowing it wouldn't actually accomplish anything, but here it is with their response for your collective academic interest:


As a new customer, I think this service looks great and I've already
ordered quite a few items.
I would like to know if you plan to expand your catalogue of jazz box
sets. I've already ordered three, but there are so many more I'd like
that you don't have (especially complete Riverside sessions). I find
it
curious that you carry the Sonny Rollins Prestige set (which I bought)
and not the Miles Davis Prestige set (which I would buy in a
heartbeat).
Thank you

Earlier today I was checking out ebay and amazon and half.com, the usual haunts, for Thelonious Monk's Complete Riverside box set. It cannot be found for cheaper then $170. If yourmusic.com had it, it would be priced at $74.99. It makes me weep.

 

Bam! That was fast! Within 10 minutes of my email, I got an email from yourmusic.com agreeing to convert to $4.99. Cool...

 

If I had the money, 2 of my first purchases at yourmusic.com would definitely be the 2 Ministry Years comps of Keith Green's complete catalog.

 

I just ordered that SACD as well. $5.39 was my total.
