Amazon Summer Music Deals

I was looking thru the MP3 music at Amazon, trying to decide how to spend my $1 credit and stumbled upon a few good deals. First, today's album deal is Bob Marley's Legend for only $2.99.

Also today only, The Most Spectacular Fireworks Music In The Universe, which features some great classical music, is only 99 cents! Amazon says there are supposed to be two 99 cent albums for today, but they only linked in this one. I looked at the Classical Bestsellers page, where this albums is currently #1, and found several other 99 cent albums, but can't really tell if any of them are the one-day special selection. Not really on sale, but in the Top Hot Releases category are 50 Patriotic Songs Music for the 4th of July ($8.49) and 40 Most Beautiful American Classics ($3.99), which are on theme, as well as Pleasure & Pain - Sexy Classical Music Inspired By Fifty Shades of Grey (which isn't, but is only 99 cents). St. Mark's Philharmonic Orchestra's 4th Of July Celebration and the All-American Patriotic Ensemble's 4th of July - The Essential American Patriotic Music Collection are close, though, at only $1.99 each.

Edit to add: Amazon fixed their links. The Most Relaxing Beethoven In The Universe is the second 99 cent album for today!

If you are planning a summer wedding, be sure to put The 99 Most Essential Wedding Classics on your play list.

This week's $2.99 MP3 Albums theme is Soundtracks and there are 25 albums included in the sale, including a couple guaranteed to set your feet to dancing.

The big promotion they are running though, is the Essential Summer Jams Playlist, featuring 20 of their favorite songs of summer for 25 cents apiece or only $5 for the entire playlist. There were a couple I had been considering already and only a couple that I already had (one from the Legend album above and another from The Very Best Of Otis Redding album, which on sale for $5). Personally, I think they could have included all the songs from David Lee Roth's Crazy From The Heat ($3.22) EP, but that could just be because of the recent heat wave (and the great cover image).
