I expect to pay full price for new recordings, and I have no problem with this concept as long as I very much want the particular recording. The Mosaiques have a new Mozart string quartet recording, I wanted it, and I bought it. It's great and worth every penny. I work hard, make good money, and have every intention of enjoying the proceeds. If I was poor, then I'd be looking for every bargain. Some folks are not budget minded - they're budget obsessed. I think it's fair to say that if I opened a record store in Peter's geographical area, he would never be in it. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
