When news of Naxos's American Classics first appeared, I remember reading
somewhere that they would only be available on Naxos in the US but on Marco
Polo elsewhere.  With this in mind, I asked a friend who was visiting the
US to pick up the Piston Violin Concertos for me, but it seems the series
is available on Naxos everywhere, so I'm interested in Thomas's comments.
OTOH, Marco Polo has been a mid-price label in Australia for some years
but is still full-price in others, including the UK (?)

 In Scandanavia, releases of works by Scandanavian composers will
 *usually* be budget priced.  Likewise in the US for the American
 Classics series - they may be priced higher elsewhere.  What comes out
 on Naxos in one location may be released on Naxos in another.  -Dave]
