Great CD Sources

Undoubtedly you have favorite places to purchase your CDs. The sources listed below have delivered CDs that we've not been able to locate elsewhere. We are not affiliated with any of these sources nor do we endorse them. They are provided only as a service.

Do you know of any we've missed? Please pass them along to us!

 
All Christmas Music -- If you love Christmas music, this is the site for you. These folks specialize in Christmas music from all over the world and you'll find stuff listed here that is hard to find anyplace else. Their home page says it all: Christmas Music 365/24/7. That's a lot of mistletoe!
       
amusicarea -- Here's a site where you can search for CDs and it will come up with price comparisons for you from several dealers. We tried it and found it to be useful although not terribly comprehensive on easy listening music. Still, it's worth a look and could save you a couple of bucks. Let us know what you think after you've tried it and we'll update this description to help others in their quest for good music.
       
Buscemi Dischi -- Online dealers in Italy are very hard to find. Here's one that has a very complete website. The only problem is that we've not found a way to read it in English. Still, with patience, you may be able to find treasures here that have only been released in Italy.
       
CD Connection -- These folks do an amazing job with order fulfillment, usually shipping 100% complete orders, even with unusual and hard-to-find titles. They're fast, too, and often have the cheapest prices on the 'net. We hear that collectors are using them more and more for fast, reliable service.
       
CD Express/Rockhouse -- This company lists imports that sometimes are very hard to find elsewhere. We've been able to purchase some unusual and obscure items from them, too. Delivery is sometimes spotty and slow, but patience often pays off with goodies that you won't be able to find anyplace else!
       
cd japan -- If you're looking for Japanese releases, this site is worth a visit. You are able to search by title, artist and browse new releases. Ordering is available online.
       
CDZone -- This site may be the best on the ‘net in terms of UK releases. They communicate well regarding orders. Downside is that they sometimes list things as available that are discontinued.
       
CyberCD -- This German dealer boasts over a million item in stock. When we spot-checked there were fifteen pages of Bert Kaempfert releases! Be careful about what you select as some items are vinyl...and choose the language of your choice on the opening menu by clicking the appropriate flag.
       
German Music Express -- This company has a large listing of import CDs, including many from Japan. Their European listings don't appear to be as complete as they used to be. Prices seem to be rising. Their service is excellent although fill is sometimes slow.
       

 

HMV Shops -- This is probably the best place to keep track of new releases in the UK. Be sure to find the easy listening section and use the artist search window to find things that you don't find in the featured lists.
       
jpc -- This dealer, located in Germany, features a huge database that is searchable by use of an easy-to-use box. Be sure to click on the flag of your country to get instructions in your language and prices quoted in your currency. Be sure and verify shipping charges before placing your orders or you might be surprised--we've had reports of shipping and handling charges of $28.00 for one CD sent to the United States!
       
UK Online Record Shops -- This site has been given a complete makeover and is now a compendium of CD and record sources from all over the world. Once you surf to MORE MUSIC, you'll be coming back again and again because the resources are so enormous that you can't properly visit them all in one session. You can also sign up to be automatically notified whenever there are changes. This one gets four stars!
       
Music People -- This German dealer has a website featuring more than 1.4 million items, including out-of-print and hard-to-find items. You can sign up for their newsletter, too. Don't forget to click on the U.S./U.K. combination flag logo in the upper right corner if you prefer to peruse the site in English!
       
Music
Selection		 Music Selection -- This site is unbelievable. Imports from all over the world are featured including Australia. If you take the time to compare the prices of the exact same item from all countries, you can save significant money by ordering the cheapest. The CDs ship from Canada so exchange rates are favorable. We've found their service to be great, although recently they seem to have raised their prices. However, they have also recently upgraded thousands of items to now include song title information and cover scans. And they report that they have scrubbed their database to eliminate unavailable items.
       
Notable Music -- We can't write anything about this site that's better than what they say on their home page: Instrumental Music is Our Specialty! We feature talented artists who have earned praise from critics & music lovers everywhere, but whose music is hard to find in stores. If they're not as beautiful as we say they are, we'll give you a full refund of the purchase price. There's no risk! We like these folks and encourage you to give 'em a try!
       
Vice Versa -- All kinds of music from Holland and Europe can be purchased from this Netherlands store. Owner Rob Smit started his business as an offspring of his own record collecting and says that he sells more easy listening records and CDs than any other genre of music. You might find a couple of elusive goodies for your collection here.
       
Worlds Records -- Here's a premium site supported by a California dealer who specializes in music that is very hard to find anyplace else. It's the only place that we know of in the United States where you can purchase recordings produced by and featured on the Robert Farnon Society website. You will definitely find some great easy listening goodies here.
