I can't imagine there's anyone here who doesn't own this set (Simon, maybe?) but there are 2 sets going for less than £8 inc P&P which strikes me as scandalous..

Jared, you are a gentleman, thank you. I have just bought the set, says he blushing. The feckers in Bookend-Morpeth won't send the set to Paddyland so I went for the slightly more expensive dealer, fbabooksandmedia.

Thank you sir.

I'm afraid not Jared, never mind, it's a steal at that price and I am delighted to get it.

I have also bought it, just over £10 with postage. I've wanted the contents of this set for quite some time, so many thanks for the heads up!!

^^ I'm really pleased... I'll keep my eyes open for a few more, every once in a while.

He's aware, but he's always reluctant to pay full price! For a while there, if pushed on my favourite conductor in any genre I would have said JEG. I possibly still would.

His B minor mass alone has been on my wish-list for a while but I never got round to ordering it. Now I get the whole box of goodies for the same price, and I really wanted a recording of the Passions and the Christmas Oratorio. In short, I'm altogether chuffed.

Me too, well done Jared.

^^ really pleased I could bring so much happiness to the two of you... I've never seen them that cheap tbh. Sometimes on Amazon, you get someone who just wants to offload quickly, then a second dealer undercuts them... I've seen it happen before, but that was a good one!
