Dammit Baklavaboy, now I had to order the Colin Davis. To the USA it was L44, about $75. They have a Giulini box cheap too. I'm seeing some good prices today at amazon.ca

No 1 choice for Vaughan Williams Symphony No 9 according to Radio 3 (UK) is the version by Vernon Handley on the budget CFP label (or you can get a box set of the whole cycle + other works for c£20) which is an amazing bargain.

Vivaldi - The Complete Sacred Works [Box set]

This was offered by Abeille a couple of days back at a bargain price but today Amazon UK has beaten them with £26 or so on offer.

Amazon and importcds both have Preston's complete Bach organ music for under 45. I succumbed to temptation.

Ordered it, although it's now listed as "shipping in 7-11 business days", so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed.

Vivaldi box ordered here as well, the VAT elimination= postage for me

For some wacky reason they have the new box even cheaper (if you are out of VAT range) than the give-away old one. I love you UK Amazon!

I love the UK Amazon price too.  Tell me, if I put it on order now "Pre Order, for March 3rd" will Amazon honour the £48.69p at today's date?  I know if it goes down further you get the lower price, but if it goes up from the £48.69p then do you not get today's price guarantee?

I've got Vol 1 on the way from the USA, should be here soon.  Great heads up again Baklavaboy  8)

No matter what happens to the price, you are guarenteed the price today or any lower price between now and the date of actual release. SO if the price goes up, it will not affect you. You can also cancel at any time (until they ship).
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

About the price, I just bought it. I think if you just put it in your cart but don't pay for it, then the price doesn't lock in. However, if you buy it now (is that what you mean by preorder?) then I don't see how they could tell you to cough up more later.  I wouldn't expect it to get any cheaper! If it does, however, you can cancel and then reorder (I did that with the Rubinstein box--worked very smoothly. Usually you can cancel very easily if they haven't shipped).
It's all good...

As long as the item is eligible and shows the mention "Pre-order Price Guarantee".
