Thank you, Deryk.  I shall search high and low, left and right for it.
May in the end just purchase the 10cd set, which by the way, is on sale
at EveryCD for $47.73, and at CDConnection for $82.73!  Pretty amazing!
EveryCd, of course, demands a membership fee of $40.00, and their
turnaround time is not the quickest, but I have certainly gotten my $40
00 worth out of them.

By the way, Berkshire has the Mravinsky\Leningrad\Bruckner 9 for just
$1.99 U.S.  This is a lovely reading recorded live, 1980.  Lots of coughs,
but do we really want to extend our discussion of concert courtesy to live
recordings? Do we, Dave? [Fine by me.  I'm sure Janos will have something
inconsistent to say on the subject.  -Dave]

Finally, has anyone who orders from Berkshire regularly noted the huge
improvement in their turnaround time on orders? I used to wait nearly
three weeks.  My last two orders arrived within five days of my request.
