My local market has a stall which sells magazine 'returns' and production over-runs. The January BBC Music Magazine turned up there today in some quantity, each replete with the cover CD of Messiaen's Turangalila (Muraro, Tchamkerten, BBCNOW, Fischer. They cost £1 each. If anybody wants one, let me know a.s.a.p. and I will buy as many as are required/I am able, tomorrow. I would have to charge for postage, at cost, of course. If you don't want the magazine, and can do without the jewel case, I could sent the CD, in a plastic wallet, for the £1 plus the cost of a first or second class stamp (base rate). If you want the mag., I will have to check out what the postage cost would be.

Will do, Ollie. I already bought two copies, so unless someone else posts a request by morning, I will leave any further purchases until next Friday. The market only operates Fridays and Saturdays. Let me know if there are any aother recent BBCMM cover discs you might be after. They have quite a few on most of the past few months' issues, all at £1 each.

If only, Francers. I will have a look, but it's a fair old while since anything of that description turned up on the stall.

The BBCMM cover disc with Kavakos playing the Berg violin concerto is a truly wonderful thing. If that turns up at the stall, Bryn, you won't regret it. I think it might be my favourite recording of it.

Entirely agree with your assessment, Ollie. It up there with Suk and Ancerl. I got it about two months after it hit the doormats of subscribers. I have only ever missed one BBC MM cover disc I really wanted. That had the 'Bach' Tocatta BWV565, played on a baroque violin on the cover disc. I think the stall holder was on one of his frequent holidays when the excess copies were sold off to the likes of him.
