Well i might have to get this just for the packaging but I'm curious whether this is new mastering or if this set uses the same masters used to compile the volumes of The Complete Motown Singles. Thank you.

Alright, guys, let's take a chance -- Amazon USA currently shows the pre-order price for this 11CD box set as an unbelievable $24.98:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZ42KKN/?tag=imwan-20

Lock it in and hope for the best! (But in the event that this is a pricing error rather than a great bargain, don't be disappointed if the order is cancelled.)

SCHILFI · 19 Dec 2007

$169.98 now.

A shame. I wonder if the initial pre-orders will be honoured.

Rick A · 23 Jul 2006

I have this same exact set for quite awhile now. One of my prideful display(s) on my shelf at home.

By the way, the content is killer as one would assume.

Linda · **Posted:** Tue Apr 30, 2019 12:33 pm

Not close to the initial cost, but a little better -- the USA pre-order price has dropped by more than $40 and is currently $128.33:

It appears Amazon honored the pricing error. My copy shipped yesterday and I was charged the $24.98! Good news to start off the week. :-)
