FAQ

When do the 2024 Cyber Monday CD deals start?

Cyber Monday will officially kick off on Monday, December 2 and I expect there still to be some top-drawer Cyber Monday CD deals stretching throughout the week.

However, in the five previous years covering the Cyber Monday sales, I've seen prices begin to tumble way before then, and as you can see above, prices have started to drop.

I'm here all the way through, bringing you all the best Cyber Monday CD deals covering rock, metal, prog, punk, alt and more. Keep this page bookmarked and check back regularly to find a pile of awesome CD discounts.

What CD deals should I expect to see?

I've been covering Cyber Monday full-time since 2019 and there are always great deals from on individual CDs, box sets, remastered classics and bundles containing CD and Blu-ray - and this year is bound to see some excellent deals once again.

Amazon, Townsend Music, HMV, Walmart, BestBuy and EMP are just some of the online retailers I expect to see slashing their prices this Cyber Monday and there are some CDs that I'm hoping to see discounted this year.

Top of my shopping list is the CD/Blu-ray box set of Marillion’s Seasons End album. It was the band’s first record with frontman Steve Hogarth and it’s a personal favourite. I’ve been meaning to pick it up for a while, but I’m going to hold off to see if a discount is around the corner.

I'm also hoping to see some decent discounts on Iron Maiden's CD box sets - the ones featuring the 2015 remixes and the models of Eddie, the 3CD edition of Metallica's Black Album, the 40th anniversary, 2CD version of Def Leppard's Pyromania and the 50th anniversary CD of The Beatles' Abbey Road.

Shopping tips

Cyber Monday CD deals

Previous experience around Cyber Monday has taught me that a little bit of planning goes a long way. So here are some shopping tips that'll hopefully help land you a great CD bargain.

1. Keep a list handy: By keeping a list of the CDs you're looking to buy this Cyber Monday, you won't miss anything. I keep a list of stuff I'm hoping to see on my phone, so I can cross-ref that when the CD sales land. I also fine Amazon's list function pretty much essential - and I have several shortlists of products I want to buy during the sales.

2. Budget for a bargain: This year's Cyber Monday takes place right at the start of December, so for a lot of people, that means it will fall just after their pay day. But to take some of the stress out of the monthly budget, if you can put some money aside for the sales, it can certainly ease the financial burden of grabbing a gargantuan CD box set. I always try and put a some cash aside in the months leading up to the big sales weekend - I find it just makes things a little easier for me when deciding what I can afford.

3. Shop around: Before spending your money on a shiny new CD collection, make sure you compare prices between retailers. Prices can vary dramatically around Cyber Monday, so it's always good to take a broad view, rather than just trust one or two retailers. Also take a look and see if the retailer is offering any extras, as some of them will throw in free Apple Music for 3 months etc.

Myself and the Louder team will be doing that so we can bring you some great CD savings right here, so keep this page bookmarked and keep checking back. Also keep your eyes on our Cyber Monday music deals page. Not only will be have CD deals, but also discounts on all sorts of other products such as CD players, vinyl box sets, headphones, Lego kits, turntables and more.

How we choose products

I still buy CDs - and by the looks of things, I'm not alone. They're ,more... er, compact, than vinyl, they don't take up much space in my flat - and I can usually pick them up for a great price. So when I'm checking out the Cyber Monday CD deals, I'm always looking to fill gaps in my collection, and searching for well-priced box sets.

Myself and the whole team have an wide and varied taste in music: everything from rock, metal and prog, through to alternative, goth, synthwave and jazz - and we want to see CDs on sale for a good price.

I'll bring you the Cyber Monday CD deals that I'll be tempted by, and other great deals that'll be kind to your wallet.
