Leo Records is going out of business?!

[mjazzg]

Placed my order.

Leo Feigin is 85, deserves a retirement.

Surely. Surprised he didn't sell it.

This affects our local top pianist, Uwe Oberg. 

[rostasi]

Yeah, it would've been nice to see him sell it to a younger person
who appreciates the label. Still, even tho it's the last sale, £120 for
a minimum order is a bit rich for me. I'm happy with the 100 or so titles
I already have, so I'll leave it there.

It’s unclear to me whether the prices listed are per CD or per 4-CD bundle.

Isn't it just the £30 for four discs as the minimum order, postage included for RoW? That's how I read it

The prices listed are for a 4 disc bundle, minimum purchase is one bundle.

I paid £15 for 4 delivered discs

[rostasi]

Oh. OK, I guess I'm being thick, but it doesn't really say that,
but it makes more sense than £30/disc to the U.S., I guess.

[JSngry]

Now is a time when I wish that I was still working...all that Braxton... 

[mjzee]

£15 or £30 per disc wouldn't make sense for a "Closing Down Sale."  Presumably, he wants to move the merchandise quickly, so as not to get stuck with it.

But it could definitely be written more clearly.

[rostasi]

Sure, I understand it under normal circumstances,
but he's kinda got a "reputation,"
so I took it the more expensive way.
I think many years ago, when I first saw one of his sales,
there were these restrictions that just put me off ever
ordering from him. Anyway, best of luck to him.
Sure wish it to be sold to a young, creative.
