That store had some nice used CDs. I was able to resist, but had to think about it.
Naxos has a good web site. If you sign up (free), you can hear the first 1/4 of any track on just about any disk. A lot of their stuff isn't available in the US. They send me a newsletter that trumpets stuff I can't buy. If I ever get really desperate for something, I'll have somebody get it for me in the UK and send it over, I guess.
I tried to look at Musical Heritage Society's web page the other day after getting the hundredth "You used to be a member -- why not rejoin?" notice. I thought I'd look and see if they still had some of the good obscure stuff, like transcriptions. Turns out you can't look at the page unless you're a member already. That must really bring in the subscriptions. Everybody wants a pig in a poke, right? They offer 7 disks for 99 cents each as an inducement, but they have to be from a selection of 100 disks in the mailer they send out, and I simply can't find seven of anything I want enough to pay 99 cents for.
