If you see something being sold exceptionally cheaply, either on Amazon, Ebay or another Music site, (or indeed in a shop in Dublin!) which you just can't keep to yourself, and feel that others should know about it for their own benefit, then this is the thread to use.

I'll start off with one for you... as it's something I've already posted about this evening:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listin ... ition=used

Apologies for using Amazon.co.uk, but I'm not sure which version of Amazon you all use in Ireland... I know Sean shops mostly with .fr . Anyway, this recording is now being sold for pence, and it is a thoroughly excellent, melodic and accessible version of Schubert's massive Octet, which was the BBC R3 BaL standard bearer for many years... so, please snap it up! Incidentally, I think 'Zoverstocks' (an excellent firm) have several copies... I bought mine from them last week.

So, it's over to you... what bargains have you spotted????
By the way lads the BEAUTIFUL performances by the Guardier Ensemble that were posted here by the lovely Jared when he started this thread are still available for the princely sum of a penny.

I have had that one for a long time and I agree with Seán.
It is one album that I wish that I had on vinyl.
