Better than Sex? If Mephisto ever offered me the classic deal, what would I want out of the rest of this life? Not sex � I�ve done all that and it never brought me happiness. I think I�d trade eternity in Hell for .... find out just what Paul Shoemaker would settle for.

Bawdy Ballads of Old England: The Mufitians of Grope Lane An unusual present for collectors with broad and unusual tastes.

Bjorling - Just what was all the fuss about? asks Chris Howell

Shapero�s key chamber works ... deserve to be listened to. A great neo-classicist to rival Poulenc and even Stravinsky himself. ... John France

Danny Kaye is a tonic everyone should be gently but firmly urged to take at least once a day. ... Gwyn Parry Jones

COLLECTOR's CORNER
Collector's Corner aims to become the Internet's central resource for the trade and discussion of live concert and opera performances not otherwise commercially available on disc. It is for collectors who wish to swap (no selling is permitted) with other collectors rare, historic and
contemporary performances.
It functions in the same way as any standard bulletin board. Readers simply post lists of recordings they wish to swap and wait. The board will remain unmoderated.
