really... ? let me check first before confirming this !

yes... I can confirm this....

within EU, you do not pay any cross country taxes any longer but you do not deduct them either. (as in the US you do not pay them which makes this even more attractive in terms of prices !! so in case your order value is below 22€ you do not pay any import taxes/value-added-taxes on importing goods when you buy in the US....) I normally try to stay around this 22€ = 26US$ per deal which is getting you 2-3CDs per shipment.... (or get the online shop to put only 20$ on the green declaration label... but this is not legal ) I'm buying CD's in the US from CDpacific.com where they have quite reasonable shipping costs. Upto now, I had no complains... only their website lacks some more advanced search and filter capabilities.. else order tracking and payment is fine. Cheers, Tjobbe

strange Hans, but I never use CC with them but invoice only so I pay what I've got... maybe they have different AGB's when dealing outside Germany. So you may be right not recommending them . Cheers, Tjobbe

Hey Reinier, Can you recommend some good european stores? Portugal hasn't got many stores selling rare or quality cd pressings. One of the biggest fnac stores in lisbon had like 30 different albuns in sacd.. and a tierney sutton sacd set me back 26 euros last time... So, I am looking for good european shops (online, pay via cc preferably) to get some quality cds (special editions, remasters)/sacds jazz and classical mainly. Please, if someone has nice bookmarks.html that can share with good shops, please do share :-) ps: the worst thing is that I have emailed national distributors for telarc, etc and they don't reply me telling where I can buy their stuff. All the best, BA @hununu: I'm ordering regular CD's in the US .. I only buy those on sale here in Germany.... (addresses as couw mentioned... maybe www.jpc.de might be interesting too) the only alternative european online shop I (have) frequently use(d) is(was) www.play.com in Jerses (as they do not add shipping cost, although prices are not to cheap sometimes and they do not have all products available).... Cheers, Tjobbe

Randy, very sorry to hear that, but it sounds like she had a good life with her family ... Cheers, Oliver

Hi Alfred, looking at some of the ones I received.. it says "Printed in U.S.A" ...so I assume ZYX does only reselling rather then any rework (as the phone contact I have there has anyway confirmed that they won't re-do any mastering here compared to their sometimes -but not always- "crappy" remasters) Hope that helps... Cheers, Tjobbe BTW: ifd you check their ebay shop, I can highly recommend the Sonny Rollins 5CD box (although assuming you have it already )! EDIT: and yes.. I buy those direclty from them (sometimes through ebay.de or directly via phone)

couldn't agree more here....while reading your posting I just noted that Jazzmatazz lists a Mosaic The complete Verve 7CD box for June 04 !!!! maybe that will be my first Mosaic, as I currently do only have some of his OJC and Concords... Cheers, Tjobbe

played most often: The PeeWee Russel Ask me now and the Tjader..

oh.. BTW: I bet 5 Philippine Pesos that the largest thread on this board will be this one

That's a good question. do you want to say with that we also need a "Good question" Thread as I've found that also missing... Cheers, Tjobbe BTW: another option would be to start a thread titled "All Missing Threads...please enter here"

maybe, but that was a stupid answer... BTW, why is there no stupid answer thread ???

what I got from ZYX is that they use the US masters but manufacture them here. Else there is no ZYX involvement in this SACD distribution. BTW: ZYX is selling them in their EBAY SHOP for even 1€ less then 2001, Mike... Cheers, Tjobbe

it is .:.impossible to have birthday today ... or so... Cheers, Tjobbe

no rain here , but looking at the ubu's cover... let it rain !!!! Cheers, Tjobbe

add for those prefering to order stuff from www.amazon.de: they have those Emarcy re-issues as well as other Universal stuff now on sale. In this sale you get some MPS re-issues (Koller, Jankowski, Pauer, Art Framer and the Boland/Clarke Big Band), some of the last Impulse ones (I saw the Lateef, JJ.Johnson) and other goodies for 6,66€uro each. Cheers, Tjobbe

Hello to Little Zora ! All the best to her and her mother.. oh...and to you Jim too Cheers, Tjobbe

Ferries Buller although "Die Feuerzangenbowle".... a real classic, only one role in there is really "political correct" in terms of 1944's, else only fun... The film is based on a book by Heinrich Spoerl Cheers, Tjobbe

POP songs of the 80s...here you go 1. Waterfront - Simple Minds 2. Biko - Peter Gabriel 3. Cloudbusting - Kate Bush cheers, Tjobbe EDIT: as altenative take, Aberdeen - Danny Wilson (have done to few Albums as The Christians did)

as a world-wide traveller I can e.g. tell you that Sprite taste totally different in the US vs. Europe. I tried it once -in Minneapolis Airport- and it tastes as if it had less flavour as the european version which compared tasted more sauer, or Coke itself is much sweeter in the US vs. Germany at least. So the recipes might be slightly different from bottlery to bottlery ... Cheers, Tjobbe EDIT: does anybody know how to get Dr.Pepper in germany Urgent call for Dr.Pepper

THX I wil use it as Coversleeve for your disc Cheers, Tjobbe

Hi Erik, I've ordered the Miles Davis (and obviously some other of the Universals ) so I can tell you hopefully soon about this. @Claude: yes.. the ZYX are somewhat strange if you get the wrong ones, but most of the Pablos e.g. are not that bad, and ....hey 5€ ... B) , and if you do not want to spent the money for the K2/SACD Art Peppers, the ZYX will do fine. Cheers, Tjobbe

ZYX Fantasy for 5Euro and Universal Stuff (Verve&Emarcy) for 7Euro as well as some (Copy Protected)BN RvG for 7Euro Cheers, Tjobbe

so its now the time for Rocky 10 ... ??? Cheers, Tjobbe

mhhh, never heard that, sure you understood them correctly @Jim: are you sure there is any natural flavour in it ??? so I guess its just an Illusion. Buy 100% Apply Juice and mix it with sparkling water.. sadly it won't smell as good as the Fanta-what-ever-is-in-it They currently sell some Fanta Blue here... THAT is aweful... Cheers, Tjobbe EDIT: that is how it looks like....
