Harmonia Mundi "New Releases" disc samplers


Can someone tell me how to buy these? They are marked 'not for sale' on the back however I found some in a used disc bin. The sound is great and this is an excellent way to decide on new purchases.

Thanks Photon, I own a 6CD set called Europa from Harmonia Mundi which is 'Musical treasures of 25 Centuries'. Is this the one you mean. The single disc samplers I was referring to is a 4 x yearly compilation of upcoming releases with release dates given months ahead. If there are any reviewers reading I will be pleased to buy every one from you at a better price than the used stores will give. On another note I went to the largest record store in town to buy some choices off one of these samplers. Not only did they not have even 1 in stock they couldn't even order 90%. They're buyer must have ears of steel. Sad.
Kr4, I'm sure you're just kidding about trashing the Harmonia Mundi samplers after 1 listen-unless you just don't care for classical music?? Regardless, I am genuine about buying all of them from you-including any old ones that may have missed the circular file. Pete. [email protected]
Kr4. OK, maybe you can tell me where/how you get the samplers, and, where you buy the discs you choose? Thanks.
Well Kal, let's make it worthwhile for me to buy these little treasures from you. Say a years worth or even 2 years worth at a time with me paying enough for all your trouble to make it worthwhile. By the way, this week I went to HMV to buy some selections from the Aug-Dec new releases from "2003"(I know I'm very behind in my buying). Nothing I chose was available and some of the ones I wanted the store could not get because the store 'buyer' hadn't chosen them. The buyer obviously was buying from statistics-certainly not by listening. I chose Bachs Cantate BMV 133, Alberto Ginastera 'Estancia', Wolcum Yule Antonio Literes, Joseph Wolfl Sonatas 25&33, Beethovens Christus am Olberge, plus I thought I'd give a listen to Mozart Night Music as I felt the recorded sound to be very good-even though the pieces may be chestnuts. Happy listening, Pete
Good morning Kal, I didn't fully read your post yesterday. Perhaps you have some Harmonia Mundi or other discs in the bags I'd be interested in. I'm ready to buy. I could even find a box that would take 10-12 discs and send it to you with tape (with the payment) to take care of packing.
