So am I, but I am waiting to see if:
1. the words to the cantatas are included in the set and
2. to see if there is a small reduction in price

There are only 12 weeks to Christmas so perhaps if I drop enough hints old fatso will be good to me..........

1. Words would seem to be on the enclosed CD-R, but I don't think they're in hard-copy:

2. I ordered on amazon for £138.99 which becomes £142 or so after they do the VAT shenanigans. If I find it cheaper I'll cancel (I may yet see sense and cancel anyway) but apparently if it becomes cheaper between now and the release date, amazon will give me the cheaper price. It's €199 on jpc without shipping, so even given the exchange rate it's still more expensive, and I can't find it on play at all. Any ideas where else I might check?

Since I don't have any of the individual releases at all, I'm not sure I can resist this at the money.

I see I somehow missed this on the bargain thread. Sorry for the duplication!

Don't worry about that Simon, the more people that know about it the better.

The texts come in a data cd that is included, but of course you can only see them in your computer.

there's nothing like a bit of delayed gratification... just ask Simon, who is still salivating.. ;-)
