I have been a member of BMG for several years now and have 
found it to be ok for me, but then I only use it to order
releases of rock and roll CDs from prior years(their catalog
is limited). I don't order classical music, but from my limit
observations, the selection is limited in that genre as well.
The quality is pretty good(I've sent back one disc out of
30 or so ordered) and the service is ok, considering you 
mostly are depending on the US mail. Orders usually take
2 or 3 weeks and my one return was also processed in 2 or
3 weeks.

Hope this helps,

Attention all Doors fans:

    There will be a Doors fan club with magazine starting up in January.  I
have been asked by the president/editor to get names of perspective
fan club members.  He also has a very large collection of live shows/radio
shows to trade.  Just send your name, address and anything else you'd like
to say and it will get to him.  He is very good about replying to letters,
usually within 24 hours.

well, in the states, it's *only* available in the damn eco-pak.  in

    True, but by "the manufacturer" I meant the US manufacturer of the discs.
    Pressings of most INXS releases are done in by a US company (in the US).

BMG, and if so,

o Did it come in a box like the ones in the store, or did they just ship the
  discs?

o Did it come with the booklet?

o Did they charge more than usual for shipping?

o Do all the discs have that white box with the BMG number in it on the back,
  or is it on the box, or do they leave it off, or put it on just one disc,
  or what?

o Is the artwork identical? Have you compared it with an original? Were there
  any differences?

o Anything else you'd like to add?

Please respond via e-mail, and I promise to post a review of all the responses

Camera Camera was what I first heard.  It is MUCH more "mainstream" or
"pop" sounding than the others, but it does definitely show off Annie's
voice to good effect.  It was mostly synth based, and not nearly as
orchestral, but the songs are good pop.

The judgement of whether or not they are worth import prices, however,
is purely subjective.  *I* am not sufficiently into the band any longer
to want to buy an import CD of any of their albums, but your mileage may
vary.

I have another good point to add to your list of points on Noteworthy.
The ROEG service.  If you have an IBM/IBM compatable computer, you can
get software to order from Noteworthy.  They give you a list of their
whole catalog and you can keep a personal libarary of all your own CDs.
So if you have a modem and a credit card, this is well worth getting.
They are even coming out with a graphics windows version very soon.
Just pick the disks to order, call them up on the modem (2 minutes
average call) and an 800 number very soon, place the order and it shows
up in 2 days.  Download new titles too.  As soon as they know what's
coming out, so will you.  It's really amazing!

Join the 90's!

CD prices in the UK are about the same in UK$ as in US$
which at current exchange rates makes CD in the US half the prices
they fetch here in the UK.
This means that mail ordering from the US is an attractive prospect
for US Brits.

Several US companies now offer CDs by mail order and are advertising
in UK magazines.
The most widely advertised is Bose Express Music which claims to
have a 240 pages catalogue with 50,000 CDs listed and charges a fixed rate
of S&H (P&P in the UK) which means if we order enough CDs it gets us
nearer to half prices CDs.

My question is:

What reputation does Bose Express Music have?
Do they usually have the CDs requested in stock?
How express are they?

In short, are they worth it?

I'd be grateful for answers by email.

If you really want the CDs, you can order them from Columbia House
(though it's hard to say which is worse).  I ordered Bonnie Raitt's
_Luck of the Draw_ from CH; instead of getting it in a digi-crap
package, I got a Jewel Box (and accompaning booklet/artwork/etc.).
