In my case especially some Denon Cds and some old DHM recordings just available in Japan.

Same as three years ago in this thread: Amazon and iTunes.

Mostly Amazon UK marketplace or Amazon US.

Sadly nearly all the local classical music shops have closed down.

Here is one great survivor in central London:

I mostly buy from Amazon MP sellers, but have bought from eBay, Presto Classical, and ArkivMusic several times.

A shame, Jeffrey. I really miss going to record stores. A part of the fun, besides looking around seeing what one could find, was meeting like-minded music fans that you just don't very often run into outside of that context.

This is absolutely true John. I could always rely on meeting a group of fellow CD nutters to chat with when I went to visit these shops. It is quite sad really.

I remember running into a retired physics professor from Korea who, to his bewilderment, could not fathom I actually knew who Isung Yun was. He later revealed that I was the second American who has heard of this composer. We also chatted about Shostakovich, Wagner, Stravinsky, among others. You just can't buy good memories like this.

I had a slightly odd experience in Pyongyang in the late 1980s: one of my two fellow musicians was strangely insistent about being informed about a certain room in the venue in which we were performing. It turned out to be the" Isang Yun Room". Strange because the lettering outside was Korean.
