Risk Amazon UK to deliver Marie’s Karlekens Guld

That’s it! I’ve snapped! I’m very bored of all of you talking about Marie’s great solo stuff and not being able to join (unless you’re talking about Sparvoga or Tro). So, I found this link:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000069HHR/pietroxette/202-8136...

They say they’ve delivered 44,635 copies of this, but I’m a bit weary of putting an order in (cause they don’t even have the Catalogue number up). Should I risk £46.99 (about €80/US$105) with Amazon? Are there any reputable sources for this disc?

Also, what is this Karlekens Guld like? It’s a 6CD Box Set - but does it have the original booklets and case, or is it just an 6-CD case with an outer cover and no booklets? I’d prefer it if they were just the normal CDs (with original outlay) so I could just take the CDs cases out of the box-set, and store them neatly in my CD rack with the rest of my CD collection.

What do you think?
Please help with this.
Thank you,

These are remastered CDs, each one has a CD case and booklet and bonus tracks.
It’s worth getting, but I have no idea about the price.

-edit-

Catalog number: EMI-7243 -5401992

it´s € 54.95 (36.54GBP) in www.cdon.com

I think you can do better, price-wise... Skivhugget has it for $57.38 US (almost half the price you quoted at Amazon!) and they’re extremely reliable... I’ve ordered from them a zillion times and never had anything but exceptional service. And, if you’re outside of Europe, you’ll save the VAT which just about pays for shipping!

Here’s a laugh... Amazon.uk has the first track of TWATG listed as ’You make me feel so stupid,’ as well as another mysterious track called ’It’ll be alright.’
It has also has ’Elvis in Germany’ swapped with ’Kix.’

Yea, get it from Skivhugget, that’s the best choice.

I just wonder why Amazon states that over 10 000 000 people adore MARIE’s voice. I think, it is a lot more!!!

Also have to take into consideration, if you’re hit by customs.

I want it sooooooo bad, but I don’t wanna chance customs. *WIMP*!

@Den: if you order something from Sweden, you don’t have to pay customs since both Sweden and UK are members of the EU and there are no customs between member states.

I wanna order this for CDON, hopefully next week!

I bought mine from Sam Goody (samgoody.com) but I also had $60 worth of gift certificates so I only ended up paying about $32 in the end.

And as someone (Ferdan, I think) stated above, there are the 5 individual albums with their original artwork and each is enhanced with bonus tracks. The 6th is a Live concert disc.

And yes, risk your money on it—it’s worth it, but look around for a bit before you commit.

Been searching the web. So far, CDON give the best deal.
