Wow. If I didn't already have 7 of these recordings, I'd pounce!

I'm a regular charity-shop bargain hunter, and today I found a recording of Vaughan Williams' "A Sea Symphony" for a great price.

That's not really a good deal as I can get it for a dollar more (including shipping) from an Amazon US third-party seller.

Better than for me as it would be $54 w/ shipping from import cd.  A bulk buy from Am.it would make it substantially cheaper.  ;)

Good to hear that - charity shops provide a large proportion of my purchases too (perhaps we need a separate thread, entitled "Gloating over unrepeatable windfalls").  My latest:
