    [from Amazon.es] My name is William , first of all, I want to sincerely apologize for the inconveniences that you have encountered in your purchase of The Real Chopin: Complete Works on Period Instrument, I have checked for the product´s availability so we can send you exactly what you ordered but it is unfortunately out of stock. . .

    Ah well - at least they are being polite and apologetic and have promised a full refund.

        If you're talking about the £7.99 download, I'd say that the Chet Baker, Mingus and Coltrane titles are worth it, alone.

        100 CDs, if I've understood correctly.

            This is pretty good at around £1 per CD...

                    I think you are looking at the wrong part of the page - at the top it should have the Columbia Jazz Collection, with an image, then there's the advert or link you mention, then Frequently Bought Together followed by Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought, and then right at the bottom the rest of the product details and user reviews.

                    Poor layout!

                        Not really, but it looks as though you and I are trying to enroll on Jazz 101. I do occasionally go to jazz events, usually with a keen friend, but not been for some time, and I haven't been listening to the jazz programmes which I used to pick up on Saturdays on R3 for some time now. The two 25 CD boxes recently mentioned might help my education in this area. I ducked out of those cheapo MP3 collections (which did, on the face of it, seem good), as it looks as though there's something seriously wrong with the listings. At least if one gets the wrong box of CDs delivered it's obvious, and it should be possible to send it back. Good luck with your quest.

                                Not prepared to fork out £88 for the set I came across this 3 CD set of Chopin Ballades, Impromptus, Preludes and Nocturnes - Yuan Sheng (1845 Pleyel piano) at £12. Any views?
