My local HMV has come back to life...and the Jeremy Denk Goldbergs recommended on Saturday's CDReview goes for 9.99 there, cheaper than Amazon!

I'm listening to it just now. My goodness, it's good!

I agree. Right up there with my favourite versions.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Linn 24 days free tracks (e.g msg 3649), so far. Nothing much to entice me which I wouldn't have considered anyway.

This might be more up your street?

Naim are giving away a whole album's worth in FLAC, ALAC and MP3 and no silly one file a day nonsense...

With artists more obscure than those esoteric adverts one finds in IRR for independent labels whose aesthetic seems stuck in the 1970s.

Have fun parsing that one.

Thanks for that. I look forward to downloading and playing it.

Is this just the job for a Baroque numpty?

I don't think so. There's also this - there's a list of what's in the box in the reviews...

Either of these boxes provides amazing value for money, if you don't already have these discs. Many of them have been top choices for years.

I mentioned this some time ago, but with regard to 'The All-Baroque Box' (50CD), this can be had for as little as £24.31 delivered:

Well, that's the "no more boxes" resolution out the window. At the price (even cheaper than chips), well worth it, various duplications notwithstanding (I think that I might now be up to 5 copies of the Marc Minkowski Rameau confection). Thanks, Hafod, for another great spot!

Have you noticed that chips aren't as cheap as chips anymore? At least they're not 'round my way. Last week I paid £1.85 for a penneth in a common or garden fish & chip shop. When I was a kid in the 1960s, a penneth of chips only cost 4d.

Extremely tempting. Probably worth buying from a UK based supplier (rather than from the USD) just in case it gets caught in the "import" net.

The big Julian Bream 40 CD box ("The Complete RCA Album Collection") appears to be available on play.com for £11.99 as an mp3 320 kbps download.

If this is what it seems to be it is a remarkable bargain as the actual box sells for upwards of £75.

For anyone who has the remotest glimmer of an interest in the music this is a terrific deal.

Sod's law - I discovered this the day after ordering the box from Amazon for £77
