G'day Sandy (and Dan),

Is there any local conduit for Folk-Legacy records into the deep Antipodes (Sydney, Australia)? It is taking a bit of courage to contemplate slapping down the readies in US$ while the Aussie dollar:
Goes down, because the US$ went up and we are seen to be linked
Goes down, because the US$ went down and we are seen to be in balance
Goes down, because the Yen went down and we are seen to be in competition
Goes down, because Asian economies are lagging and we are seen to be in Asia
Goes down, because Asian economies are booming and we are seen to be European
Goes down, because American socialised subsidies undercut our free market produce in world competition
&c.

Failing this, I will have to run the e-commerce gauntlet and get my copy by fast charge / slow delivery mail. If it is as good as the last ... it is worth it.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
