IIRC Chandos also do this. Although personally I prefer
to just buy a CD. :-)

Thanks, the lossless downloads don't cost much less than
the CDs so I take your point.

Immediate gratification has a lot to do with the popularity of downloads.

Yes, I was looking at it a different way!

I can understand it if the record companies don't want to hold atocks of old
CDs in their back catalogues. Sales are no doubt falling.

The CD technolgy will go the way of 78s, Vinyl LPs and cassette tapes. You
can now store more than 1000 CDs on a single disc drive.

So I would like to see record companies making their complete catalogues
available online so that people can download what they want.
