bebopbob Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Hope everyone is well Are there any recommended sites where we can purchase actual compact discs of SONY/SONY Classical new releases ? I’ve seen a couple of sites in Japanese but unable to read Japanese. The reason I am asking is that I recently bought a couple of newly released SONY discs on Amazon -a Pasquale Grasso disc and a Yo-Yo Ma disc on Amazon and they were both manufactured on demand CDR burn pressings -seems like Amazon only sells new SONY releases as burns. I remember Hiroshi Tanno’s really great site but that closed years ago. Thanks Bob Quote
T.D. Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Have you searched Presto in the UK? www.prestomusic.com I've ordered from them. Price can be OK. Unfortunately, my credit card # was hacked immediately after an order, so I've refrained in recent years. I made a cursory search at cdjapan (which has English text), but didn't find any recent Sony Classical. I also looked at jpc, www.jpc.de but weirdly couldn't find new Sony Classical. Strange indeed.

JSngry Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Along maybe the same lines...where can I find a list of those great complete RCA/Columbia sets, older and new? I've had a great time with those! Quote
king ubu Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Since they're usually called "Complete ... Album Collection", a discogs search is quite useful ... but if anyone finds a list, let me know please! It's not completely reliable, so you may want to try a few similar searches (i.e. you need to replace "sony" w/rca to find the Peter Serkin box, though the entry has both RCA and Sony Classical listed as labels): https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=complete+album+collection+sony&type=all&genre_exact=Classical add a genre filter depending on if you're looking for Leonard Cohen, Earth Wind & Fire and Judas Priest or Monk, Weather Report and Blakey or Fritz Reiner, George Szell and Glenn Gould (that latest category is the one I'm most into with these ... and running such a search does two things: make me realize how I bought gazillions of discs in the past 15 years, and also hurts with regards to boxes I skipped, such as the Rudolf Serkin or the André Previn). As for the original question, I use Presto Music (never any issue with my credit card there, and they got lots of money from me) ... and sometimes JPC or evil A as well. They offer plenty of lists (I never use, unless when browsing through offers), including one on Sony: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/labels/1333--sony Quote
