    What is the problem with the Eloquence boxes? I managed to get the Knappertsbusch orchestral box from Amazon earlier this week but the opera edition is 'temporarily out of stock' while both the orchestral and opera box are out of stock at Presto.

    I had to wait weeks for the Kubelik Eloquence box last year which had the same issue of non-availability. The trouble is they are usually trailed several months in advance and this non-availability issue needs sorting. Is it another Brexit 'benefit'?
    As Eloquence is based in Australia, I wonder if this contributes to the problems that European and UK companies sometimes have in obtaining stock. IIRC it was Presto who initially started importing their releases into the UK a few years ago.
    "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

        Yes, that's exactly what I have too! We are wise to the ways of the record companies by now but still fall for it every time (well I do anyway)!
