Bargains

[cloughie]

My first 1p (actually £1.27 including p&p) turned up yesterday, (nigel kennedy's KAFKA album). Would I have paid £1.00 for it in a charity shop? I'm not sure. I'm currently steeling myself to spin it.

That's my yardstick for 1p purchases, and indeed for charity shop purchases, where does the price lie cf £1.27.

Or the ones we've bought, not realising we already have them. I'd be a front-runner!

And it's not only when they re-release a recording with a different cover design, or in a compilation box. I think I might give you a good run for your money, and even pip you at the post.

... such a relief to find that I am not alone

I'm not sure I wouldn't......



And, as for the piles of still-wrapped ones - they'll outlive me at this rate. Never mind, we've got to keep the record industry going.

As this is my first post I would like to say hello and thank those members who previously drew my attention on another thread to the Elgar 1 / BBCSO / Boult disc on ICA ( c/w Brahms 3 ) which I purchased - the Elgar performance was unknown to me and has proved to be a revelation - the roar at the end says it all !!

If, like me, anyone enjoys the conducting / interpretations of Gunter Wand, this newish 29 CD set of previously released recordings may be of interest at a pretty good price considering what is on offer. I bought the similar set of Bernstein recordings last year and found it to be well produced and with a superb book (let).

It is however rather large ( LP size ) so can present shelf / storage problems.

It was a bargain at £11 - a wonderful box even if you need only two or three of the contents.
