This year's Prime Day vinyl deals are over for another year and over the space of the big summer sales event, I saw some brilliant bargains on rock, metal and prog classics, box sets, limited-edition pressings and reissues.
And although Prime Day is over, I've been sifting through the remnants of the sales and discovered there's still some cracking savings to be found - including the coloured vinyl edition of Metallica's iconic "Black" album on stunning 2LP Black Marble. On Amazon, it's still on sale - $53 down to $45. Nothing else matters but that price and its 15% discount.

This is the expansive 20th anniversary, super deluxe vinyl edition of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - one of my all-time favourite records. And it's 50% off! This version contains 5LP and a total of 56 tracks, including demos, b-sides, radio sessions and previously unreleased material. Love it!

This reprint of Slipknot's 2001 album Iowa was originally released in 2022 - but this edition has been spread over 2LP and pressed on coke bottle green translucent vinyl making it a neat addition to your collection.
Ghost's second studio album and their first major label release which would help pave the way to super-stardom. If you're collecting Ghost vinyl, don't forget this cracking record. Grab your copy from Amazon.
Late to the party, I know, but this was the first Deftones record I bought thanks to seeing the video for Minerva repeatedly on MTV2 back in 2003. It may not be widely recognised as their best, but it's my favourite. Get your copy on limited-edition ruby red vinyl from Walmart.
I was introduced to Coheed through a short article in Prog magazine when the band were promoting their second album In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 in 2003. I picked that record up along with this, their debut, on the same day and listened to them both back-to-back constantly. This is a great debut album from Claudio and co, and you can get the vinyl at Amazon this Prime Day.
This is Biffy's eigth studio album from 2020 and it entered the UK charts at no.1 - their 3rd consecutive top spot position. It's a record that further cemented the Scottish outfit's hard-rockin' legacy and you can get the vinyl for less at Amazon right now.
I didn't really get to know Deep Purple until the mid-80s but Machine Head is possibly my favourite. Of course, Smoke On The Water is here, but there are other gems here too such as Highway Star and Pictures Of Home. Amazon have a nice deal on the 25th anniversary edition for Prime Day.

I distinctly remember seeing the video for Growing On Me back in 2003 and it had a huge impact on me - and, in a way, re-introduced me to rock music. I bought Permission To Land when it was released and consider it a classic. This 20th anniversary celebration is not to be missed this Prime Day as it's packed with quality content. Get it while you can.
