Good Lord!

I borrow a lot of CDs from the public library; one becomes quite tolerant of odors, stains, etc.

Close to 30 years ago when I was still in college, in an attempt to familiarize myself with opera, I borrowed the Solti's Wagner Tannhauser from the NYC public library.  That was the last time I ever borrowed music from any library.  The set was so beat up that I felt like listening to fireworks throughout ...

Maybe it was coupled with the 1812 Overture?  ;D

No kidding.  But it was a much tamer version of this CD, which I have.

Now, that's a great disk. My father had it when I was just a kid and I bought the CD a couple years ago just for nostalgia. Turns out to be every bit as good now as it was then, which is to say, hasn't been really surpassed. :)

I thought the canon shots at West Point were separately recorded and dubbed onto the tape that was made from the orchestra's recording session ...

Nope, but they look credible enough for me to add them to my list of classical music sellers. ;)

Oh, that's interesting to hear.

I recently enjoyed their latest album: the only sample of their music I've heard, but a very competent sample nonetheless!

Let me put in a good word for the musicjapan_uk Amazon Marketplace vendor, for both their excellent prices, prompt delivery speed (for the UK), and an included thank you note doubling as a return form, to reduce hassle in the case of damaged merchandise.

Re the speed, just imagine that the Blomstedt Bruckner 7th, sent from Japan with minimal shipping, almost reached me before a package sent by my mother with the equivalent of first-class mail from Greece, three days before the Blomstedt was dispatched. That's not bad at all!

S&H charges from US e-tailers can also add up.  The Amazon MarketPlace vendors all charge $2.98, even for a $5 CD.  I imagine that is also the rate per item, as I have never orderd more than one item at a time from any MP vendor.  I have ordered a dozen times from MDT and never paid any VAT.  I heard the shipping rate from Germany is outrageously expensive, as someone complained about how much it cost to ship the Andras Schiff's Bach big box, which is only available in Germany.

I don't see much to complain about.
I guess you don't realise how lucky you are that Amazon.com (proper) offers FREE shipping within the US. And no VAT at MDT, while I presume US customs is vast asleep... (Dutch customs is always vigilant :()

My own shipping is NEVER free...  ::) And $2,98 from a MarketPlace seller is not so bad. If I order an item on MarketPlace at Amazon.co.uk shipping is £1,79 for a CD, that's $2,64. At Amazon.fr it's €3,40, that's $4.87.

Germany is indeed incredibly expensive, Amazon.de MarketPlace charges me a whopping €6, that's $7,92.. ::) But as Novi suggested at jpc's flat shipping rates, fewer larger orders really saves a lot on shipping.

Q
 

I double-checked with MDT before I placed all those orders, as I would not want to pay any duties at the US Customs.  Otherwise, what I save on the CD's end up eating up by shipping and duties.  To be sure, the contents of all shipments are declared on a sticker on the bottom of the box.  It is never clear to me whether MDT paid the duties or the purchase has to exceed certain $ amount before any duties kick in ...
