‘Halloween Box’ for £4.51.
True, I don’t know what the ‘Halloween Box’ consists of, because even in my wildest dreams I can’t imagine that it’s an actual box-set of Halloween music on vinyl for just £4.51. But I’ve ordered one anyway, just in case like.

Me too, thanks to @CheapVinylUK on Twitter. Thanks to them I got a terrific 3-disc label sampler from Italians Do It Better for something like £5.99 a couple of weeks ago. It’s now back up to £20+.
This Halloween score (single LP) has to be worth a punt.
P.S. It’s not supposed to be out until October, despite what the Amazon listing says. Am fully expecting a “We made a mistake” email between now and then, but you never know!
Think it might be this? Some of the cover art is the same at any rate

Placed an order anyway…
A Twitter chum has suggested it might just be the actual box (i.e. empty) for the remaster set: https://thesoundofvinyl.com/*/Coloured-Vinyl/Halloween-4-5-with-Collectors-Box/5X420H7V000
Yeah. Since there are other sellers flogging it for even less, I’m inclined to agree.
Oops.
On the other hand: “Number of Discs: 1”

I asked, and received this reply:
“Hello Rebecca,
I’m Prabhu from Amazon responding to your email.
From your email, I can understand that you’d like us to confirm that this item contains a vinyl record or an empty box.
Further, I’ve checked and I can confirm that this item contains Vinyl record and not an empty box set.
I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.”
Promising.
Wow, thanks, Mini. That’s incredible, then. A new vinyl album for £4.51. Bargainacious. The score for the new film is going for £25 elsewhere.
I’m not convinced they didn’t just look up the listing, see the word “vinyl” and come to the same conclusion as we did. They responded very quickly, and the item isn’t yet in stock, so I can’t imagine they got someone to physically check. Time will tell!
The genius of your approach is that when your empty box arrives you can now point to that reply and tell them you were promised an actual record to go in it.
We’re not the only hopefuls; the item (whatever it is) is currently number two in their vinyl chart.
Hi Mini, so glad to see you around, thought I’d understood you’d stopped posting (navel thread).
Whew!
@minibreakfast
‘Arriving today’, apparently!
Really? Mine still says Sept 10-24. Let us know what it is, won’t you!
Uh oh. The reviews are in…

Listed as a one disc vinyl box set but all I received was an empty box .. this needs some sort of description to clarify what is for sale … Empty Box would be a good place to start
It’s arrived, and I can now definitively confirm…
It’s an empty box.
Haha! Just requested a cancellation. It was at the “preparing for dispatch” stage, so wasn’t guaranteed, but then got an email shortly after to confirm the cancellation had been successful. Phew. And thank you!
What are you going to do?
I see that the item is now “currently unavailable”. Either they’ve been made aware of the cock-up, or they’ve simply sold out of this apparently terrific bargain 🙂
With the best will in the world I’m probably not going to collect the 2018 reissues of the Halloween 1-5 soundtracks, but then I probably won’t bother returning it either. I suppose I’ll just keep it and look at it every now and then.
Pal of mine contacted them and was told he could have a refund and keep the box.
I have added my Amazon review, btw.
