FEBRUARY 2008 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer You will no doubt have read the speculation surrounding the EMI situation and the financial difficulties they face in today’s rapidly changing market. This is by no means unique to them. In this digital age, one wonders just how the record companies will meet the challenges brought about by ‘downloading’ and consequently the reduction in the numbers of music CDs being bought worldwide. In the classical music market, there remains amongst most buyers a requirement for not only the music - in high quality sound to be played in the comfort of the listening environment - but also the material that goes with it. This would suggest that the current CD complete with libretti/booklet format will be with us for some time yet. However, monetary pressures do mean that the funds available for new classical recordings, particularly large scale works, are declining, leading to a constant search for the ‘re-cycling’ of material previously recorded and issued. So here’s the good news. Whilst this development has its detractors, it does mean that we can enjoy, often at a bargain price, the work of truly great artists in a new light and with the benefit of enhanced sound quality and illuminating background material. The recent re-issues featuring Karajan, Pavarotti, Callas, and offerings on the Lyrita and Naxos Historical labels amply illustrate the point. So, enjoy the fruits of the ‘financial squeeze’ whilst you can - there may never be a better time! Mark, Richard & Mike NAXOS OFFER £4.00 per disc - see inside! DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £30 Please note: American Express From January 1st 2008, we will no longer be accepting payment by American Express. This is due to the disproportionate fees and costs of administration. We apologise to AMEX users and request that you quote an alternative card for your purchases.

Mailing of our monthly listing Not surprisingly, one of the most costly aspects of our operation is the production and mailing of this monthly list. At the same time, in common with many of you, we are trying to reduce our usage of resources as far as possible. With both these factors in mind, we have decided that, in the future, we will only mail each list to all customers who have ordered from us within the previous 6 months, which we think is a reasonable period within which to expect an order to be placed. After this, the list will not be mailed unless we receive a further order. Don’t forget that the list is available on our website (see above) to view or download. 1 email [email protected] uropadisc tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 E Classical Music on CD and DVD FEBRUARY 2008 LIST Prices on this list are valid until 5 pm Wednesday 26 March (orders received) unless stated otherwise.
