ORIGINAL STORY BELOW
17/07/2024: If you've bought yourself a new turntable in the Prime Day deals extravaganza (like this superb Sony turntable at just £189 at Amazon), it's now time to buy yourself some new records. 

Vinyl records can be really expensive these days, but thankfully I've spotted some great Prime Day vinyl deals with at least 15 per cent off on some classic records you must own, from The Beatles to The Boss, and even epic movie and TV show soundtracks on vinyl, too.

Even if you already own a great turntable and are just looking for some savings on records, these deals should tempt you to complete your record collection – any money off this expensive vinyl hobby shouldn't be sniffed at, after all! These limited Prime Day offers end tonight, so don't dilly-dally...

Back to Black by Amy Winehouse was £21.99 now 18.69 at Amazon (save £3.30)
Incredible voice, incredibly short but astounding volume of work. Winehouse's second and last studio album has hits like Rehab, You Know I'm No Good and Back To Black, and even with this small saving, it's the cheapest record on this list. It deserves a place in your collection.

Abbey Road (50th Anniversary) by The Beatles was £27 now £22.60 at Amazon (save £4.40)
I'll confess: I don't own any albums by The Beatles, but this 15% saving is tempting. This pressing is a new stereo album mix produced by Giles Martin and taken from the original eight-track session tapes. Come Together is one of my go-to test tracks.

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana was £27.22 now £20.94 at Amazon (save £6.28)
One of the greatest live performances by the legendary grunge band, this set is astonishingly intimate, visceral and irreverent – and shows the band having fun, too. It's a big 23% saving off the usual price too, so a pretty great vinyl deal.

It's ABBA. ABBA is great. The Swedish mega group are pop royalty, and this greatest hits collection really does have 10 of their greatest hits that you'll be singing along to every time. Spin it when it's Eurovision or Christmas – there's always a good time to listen to ABBA.

While it hasn't made our best punk tracks list (yet), this Sex Pistols album is a ’70s British punk classic and has one of the most iconic album covers. Get your Westwood on, it's time for some anarchy (and save 15% in the process).
