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




Which is a ludicrous proposition of course, but that doesn't surprise me in
the least given the sort of person who will be downloading them. What I want
to know is if these are available online presumably anywhere in the world,
how do they apply the usual ***** Britain* surcharges for 'digital music' -
which have been typically US x 2 and Europe x 1.5 for about the last quarter
of a century....??

Legal Sounds do many mp3s at 192K or higher - and it shows you
the sample rate per track before you commit.


And they are CHEAP!

Royalty fees going the wrong place unfortunately.

You may as well download stuff from torrents for all the good signing up
with that russian place.

Thought the 'powers that be' had cracked down on that!
