Apol's if this has been noted above and I know it's not sensational, but HMV Oxford St have racks of Decca/DG/Philips twofers for £5.99 ea. (Possibly also at the branch nearest you, but more likely not)

The two I snapped up - Handel Utrecht Te Deum etc (Hogwood) and Liszt Annees de pelerinage (Brendel/ Kocsis) - aren't to be found cheaper new anywhere in Amazonia or via the 'cheapest-CD'-hunting website I consulted.

Looks like they got the decimal point in the wrong place!!

Thanks, Dave. No help needed but a pain it is. Item was sent from Amazon in Dunfermline but the return label is for Madrid. Got to prepay postage but will be refunded. Well, chalk it up to experience - but never again!

I have also got a return label to Madrid. How did you get on? Is it worth the bother.

Did you have the text about calling UPS?

Una vez impresa la etiqueta, incluye el código de barras en el interior del paquete y pega la etiqueta de devolución en el exterior. Ten en cuenta que deberás contactar con UPS, el transportista encargado de hacer la recogida, al 902 888820. UPS podrá recoger el paquete de lunes a viernes de 10:00 a 19:00 y podrás indicar si prefieres que la recogida sea por la mañana o por la tarde.

Si utilizas esta etiqueta, no tendrás que adelantar los gastos de envío ya que se trata de una etiqueta con franqueo pagado. Una vez impresa la etiqueta, incluye el código de barras en el interior del paquete, pega la etiqueta de devolución en el exterior y lleva el paquete a tu oficina de Correos más cercana.

I'm not sure if that applies to us in the UK. It appears to indicate that I won't have to pay, and that I should call UPS, but I've not got that far yet. It is indeed a bit of a pain, and I have other things to do as well.

I paid £25.99 for that Walkure back in 1992, when it was on EMI References. It is essential listening.

Nowadays, though, you can pick it up as a download for one euro, if you know the right place to look.

I have some stories like that!

Agreed, essential listening

Looks like it's separated into 3 Acts.

Is it free? I can't see the price.
