If it is a CD of Classical, Jazz or World and it was released in Europe, http://www.crotchet.co.uk will almost certainly have it. I regularly order on line from them. Since they knock off the VAT tax the prices are usually less than for imports in US shops and for classical box sets that are US releases, they are often less than Amazon or Tower. I've ordered from Amazon Germany but their prices, especially for shipping are more than Crochets.
Over seas releases
If i aminterested in an album that was only released in another country and I have the label and catalog number, how can i go about aquiring a copy of that release? I have never tried this and am very interested in the prospect. If there isnt a way maybe some one with more time and money than me could start a business based on this concept. Thanks!
