re 4409
I stumbled across that one on Spotify. The title is "The Best Rococo Cello Music". Some of the tracks are pleasant, and some are easily identifiable, but others present a significant challenge. How is one supposed to cope with that? It's the same on Amazon and I think also on iTunes. Major detective work would be needed to identify all the works - that really is pretty shoddy.

I'm not usually over fond of Delius (though he's a composer whose works sometimes sound very much better in live performances ...), but I've been looking for music with a "summer" theme. Typing Delius + summer into Amazon found several, so now I've
ordered 1 x CD Barbirolli, 1 x CD Andrew Davis, plus 1 x CD Anthony Collins for the grand sum of 26p plus 3 x1.26 = £4.04 from Zoverstocks, supposedly in very good condition. I would normally prefer to buy new, but these used ones should serve their purpose well enough.
Actually, looking at the delivery estimates, if they don't arrive in time, can I assume that if they're not dispatched that I can cancel? Not a great deal really given the low price - but not sure how Zoverstocks works in this regard.

This Vivarte 60 CD box set seems cheaper now - under £41 today - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vivarte-Coll...F3FT5DRGVJVH54
The Poulenc set http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poulenc-Oeuv...0E7D9C9JE6VFSA is down a bit today too - £26.25.

The Poulenc is tempting...I must confess I like the sound quality of newer recordings so have quite a few of those of Dutoit on Decca. I guess that the EMI set is second to none for authenticity, featuring Poulenc himself on some of the recordings. Do any other posters have this set and would they recommend it? It's at an excellent price.

You get, I think, around 30 minutes 'cooling off' time from the moment you place your order, when you can cancel.
The delivery times are long, and Zoverstocks always meet the deadline.
You can return your items under the distance selling regs, but you won't get back the p&p and you'll have to pay the return costs.
If the items are faulty or the firm fails to meet the delivery date, you can return them for a full refund including p&p.
All the above is as per my understanding.
